Mr. Thompson was a former resident at this place. S. H. Knster has moved into Miss Gibson’s house near the Christian church. Helms sold his milk.route, to Mr. Philips.

Bach us, of Chicago, are visit mg Mr. 11. H. Walker’s family’. Mrs. W. T. Barnes is again very ill, and this time dangerously so. At present writing she is considered a little better, though still in a critical condition. There wiil be a union temperance mass meeting next Sunday evening at the M. E. church. Several able speakers from abroad are expected to be present. Washington’s birthday was celc-. bratod by the closing of the schools in the afternoon, and by literary’ exercises in the lower rooms on the Friday following. The Epworth League held a Lincoln social at the pleasant home of Bert Spencer Monday evening of last week. The young people report a most enjoyable time. Mr. Carson seems to be having his share of the honors for in addition to being presented with a daughter Saturday evening, he was also initiated into the Masonic Lodge.
We see by the Press that Charles Rcigle, a son of Dr. Reigle met with a serious accident at his home in Muncie. While working on the roof of a building he lost his foothold and fell to the ground, a distance of thirty feet, striking on his head and shoulders. —Mrr~ Parks’ new home was the 9cene of a very pleasant gathering last week. The Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. gave a ten cent supper and social for the purpose of raising funds to insure the church. The profits of the evening amounted to about eight dollars. Miss Saltie Rawlings, whose illness has been previously mentioned, died of consumption Sundaj 7 morning, Feb., 25. She has been sick for two years, and recently her sufferings were so great that she has longed for the release from them. The funeral services were held Tuesday, at 2 P. M.
Recent scientific researches have developed the fact that it is now the “proper caper” to keep the head warm and the feet cool. In accordance registers in furnace heated rooms are “going up*”Jfor further particulars inquire at the school house, where the children will now have to stand on their heads to warm their feet. Grandma Harris, a venerable “mother in Israel” passed away last Friday at the ripe age of eighty-two years. She tuivived her husband twenty-six years. She was born in 1812 and married in 1830 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, where she lived until 1857 when she moved here, where she has lived ever since. She was the mother of fifteen children, six of whom still survive. Of her decendants (many live here) there are 110 grand children, 52 great grand children, and three great-great grand children. The funeral was held from the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Handley, interment in the Welsh cemetery.
FROM DeMOTTE.
TWENTY-FILTH ANNIVERSARY. Qn the 20lh inst., David D. Gleason and his estimable wife celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary of their wedded life, at their , residence three miles west of DeMotte. About 100 invitations were issued, but for various reasons only about half that number were present. About one o’clock a bountiful dinner was served. The groom’s “best man,” Hollis Hunter, of Chicago, carved a twenty pound turkey, a goose and five chickens in a very ad-
mirable manner, and Aunt Phoeba took the cake.- —- -. : to—--The presents were numerous and magnificent, among jwhich were the following: Cream pitcher C. 8.-Ken-yon and wife; pickle caster, B. C. Kenyon and wife, of Nieodemus, Kan.; butter dish, Geo. Clark and wife; cake dish. Miss Mabel Reynolds, of Bog tie, Kan.; set tea and desert swoons, L. 11.

Gleason; spoon holder Dora Gleason, of DeMolte, and a very elegant caster from the groom to his bride of twenty-five years. ___ After a very pleasant day the guests reluctantly left the remnants of the feast and bidding each other good-night departed to their various homes’ That those present; may all live to celebrate the golden wedding of this genial pair, is the wish of One of the Guests.
A New Temperance Movement.
A large public meeting was held at the court house Monday, to devise ways and means for fighting the liquor evils. A permanent organization was formed, with the- name of “The Citizens’ Non-Partisan Temperance League.” AY. AY. Reeve is president. Rev. B. F. Ferguson secretary and treasurer, and Messrs.’ Ferguson, Kean, Reeve, and Benja-
min, a committee to solicit subscriptions and membership, and to have general charge of the work it is hoped to be accomplished. The full scope and intention of the organization were not fully’ developed at the meeting, but that such an . organiza tion, if possessed of plenty of wealth, wisdom and moral backing can do a great deal of good, there is no question. They can not in the present state of the law and public sentiment, keep all saloons out of Rensselaer, but they can greatly mitigate the harm they do. There are many excellent provisions in the temperance laws of the state, which, if rigidly enforced against all saloon keepers and other sellers of liquor and tobacco, will have a very salutary effect. Let every oue of these know that he must observe the laws or be rigidly prosecuted, and, if lie is a saloon-keeper, have liis next application for a license contested, and such a policy, if firmly persisted in, will do great good. Such a policy will have the law behin d it and the moral support of the people, while an indiscriminate policy of fighting every application for a license, regardless of the character and record of the applicant, will be lacking in both these necessary elements of strength, and, like all previous similar attempts, will simply exhaust the courage, the funds and the zeal of the temperance forces in a fight fore-doomed to failure
If a saloonist sells to minors, allows them in bis place, sells at unlawful times, sells" to drunkards, allows gambling or keeps a “tough joint” generally, then ‘’slap it to him” at every opportunity, and your work will be effective. But if be is honestly observing all these laws, and keeping a decent place, let him alone and devote your efforts towards reforming those who patronize him.
