Who will be the first to respond? Don’t all speak stance. —A Mr. Keegan, of Bunker Hill, Miami county, was in town tho first of the week, prospecting for a location. He was quite favorably impressed with our town and we are informed he will soon open a boot and shoe store here. Come along, Mr. K. There is plenty of room in Rensselaer for live enterprising business men. —All mail matter intended for parties at at Monon, must he addressed to that postoffice. Matter addressed to Bradford, White county, Indiana, will be forwarded to the dead letter office at Washington, as there is no postoffice of that name in White count} . Parties interested will save a great deal of vexation by bearing this fact in mind. —John Casey, the popular grocer at Hurley’s cross roads, (more familiarly known as New Chicago) besides a large stock of groceries and provisions keeps constantly on hand a supply of cord wood, posts and rails, which he will sell cheap for cash. We are reliably informed that Mr. Casey is building up a good trade at that point. —County Clerk Price and his estimable lady celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Thursday. A goodly number of their friends dined with them and offered words of congratulation and cheer. It was indeed a pleasant affuir and will long be remembered by all present.

—The Association of teachers for this and Newton township was organized last Saturday at the Bowling Green school house. Officers elected: President, C. W. Clifton; Vice President, A. F. Florence: Secretary, Miss Clara Coen. A pleasant session was had. The next session will be held on Saturday, December 13th, 1879, at the school house in Rensselaer. We understand there <sa special invitation for all pupils and patrons of schools as well as for foreign teachers to attend. . —The elocutionary' entertainment given in Starr’s Hall, last evening by Prof. Ravliu’s class in elocution, was one of decided merit. The performance reflects great credit upon both the teacher of the art and the pupils, and the marked improvement made by each member of the class speaks well for the proficiency of their instructor. The Professor will give another term of lessons providing a sufficient number of persons desiting instructions in the art can be secured to organize a class. , < —Sims Sl Emmet's great Olio Company will give one of their grand entertainments in Starr’s Hall, to-night. This is pronounced one of the best minstrel troupes traveling, and is composed of first-class artists. The programme consists of comic and sentimental songs, mirth-provoking sketches, side-splitting farces, laughable witticisms, etc., etc. The price of admission is within the reach of all, and we advise the fan loving citizens of this necx of woods to take in this entertainment. It will undoubtedly be a rare treat. Our old friend, Mr. H. C. Bruce, dropped into our sanctum on Wednesday. Mr. Bruce, it will be remembered, removed from Jasper county to Kansas about two years ago, to try his hand in the Eden of the West. He expresses himself well pleased with that country, but his possessions being here, and no opportunity presenting itself to dispose of them, he concluded to return to old Jasper where he will probably conclude to remain for a while at least. We are glad to welcome him back to hie old home and friends, and hope he will spend the balance of his days here. —Every man in Jasper county ought to be a subscriber to the Standard. Jt is tbe best and cheapest paper published in the county. Only $1 a year, 60 cents for six months, 25 cents for three months. If you are already a subscriber, call and have a copy sent to some absent friend. It would be appreciated more than all the oopies you would or could write in the course of a year, for it would contain many items of news you would never think of, and very many that would be impossible to crowd into an ordinary letter. 8m the extra inducements that are offered to subscribers elsewhere in these columns.
