Thompson’s iron fence, at his residence, at the head of Front street, before they stopped.

Fendigs Fair. S. E. Y< Oman sells the Ideal corn planter, made at Decatur, HL Binder twine a specialty.

Tbe people of front street are moving to have the street graveled. Using Lafayette gravel similar to that to be used on the gravel roads. It is figured that the street can be graveled in good shape at a cost of only 15 cents per lineal foot to the property owners on each side. If this is the case the movement ought to be general. There is no liklihood that so good a chance will ever occur again. The Monon R. R. is selling the gravel cheap, because it has to be moved from the site of the road’s new shops, at Lafayette. Clarence Lecklider has a new supply of fine lace curtains, rugs &c. to sell on the installment plan, from 25 cents to $1 per week. A contributed memorial sketch of Griswold Van Rensselaer is published elsewhere in this issuelie died suddenly on Sunday, April 22, 1894, at Colorado Springs, Colo., of hemorrhage of the lungs. His age was only 19 years. His father, whose own death occured several years ago, was Schuyler Van Rens selaer, only son of the founder and name-sake of the town of Rensselaer. Like the latter he was an only son, and in his death, dies the last male member of the Ran Rensselaer family. The young man’s mother is the well known writer, Mrs. M. G. Vanßensselaer. His funeral was held at University Place Church, 10th street, New York, last Friday, April 27th, and interment made in Greenwood cemetery.

A sensational affair took place at Monon, one day last week. James Turpie, the well-known one-armed boss of that town, with the help of two of his hangers-on, Marion Jacks and James Robinson, made a brutal assault upon John Fawcett, editor of the Monon Review. Fawcett had been to Francesville, and was returning on the local freight, and as the train slowed up Turpie and his strikers boarded the caboose and beat Fawcett terribly with clubs. Fawcett was severely but not dangerously injured. Turpie’s reason for the assault was the claim that Fawcett had made some very slanderous remarks about his young daughter. Thia Fawcett denies, and the Monticello Democrat says it has a long letter from a prominent Monon man, giving quite different reasons for the trouble. It is said, however, that Fawcett has decided not to prosecute Turpie and his men. If that is the case, it looks a good deal as if Fawcett was conscious of having deserved his beating. Hu lately established paper is understood to have suspended.

The Guild brothers, Thomas M., and D. H , of Gillam tp., are taking high rank in their chosen field of labor, the M. E. Ministry. The, following mention of them is from a letter of Rev. J. N. Harmon, of Rochester, to the Morocco Courier. “Rev. T. M. Guild, known to many at Morocco, has recently been re-ap-pointed by the North-western Indiana Conference of the M, E. church, to Elwood charge for the third year. He and his estimable wife are useful and popular among the people. On the evening of Feb. 22nd, over four hundred people assembled at the residence of one of the parishioners and celebrated the twentieth anniversary Df the parson and his wife. Such a collection of people on an occasion of this kind has never been known in Elwood. The evening was spent in a delightful manner and 7 the friends manifested a slight appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. Guild, by presenting them a set of china ware for the home. Other presents of utility were also given the couple. D. H. Guild, a brother of Thomas M., is entering upon his third year as pastor of Grace M. E. church, at Marion.” B. F.
