is a niisUku.

Some of the business men in Remington axe opposed to it, but' why- I Ao not know, it mtast be qither because'they distrust their own business capacities and are afraid to compete with your merchants when placed upon an equality, or else tliey are mistaken in the natural results from the proposed road.

Then let me say as a ertixen of Carpenter township, ttiat 1 desire our township should give a “for the appropriation.’’ The law is just, And its provisions give ample security agaiust swindles by providing tot non-payment Until the road is completed. The. proposed road' ia the bust for the whole county, (hf( could possibly be built. It will never be built unless such aid is given.

4 Jfcsjsrs. Eiutoifc: As your paper seems to be open «t present to railroad articles, I for try to w rite yon a few Mr. “Justice’ - ' seems'to be enaaged in the interest of Cafpejjtter tow nships', but-.from. hLs articlcirt think he lives county scat. We want a railroad through the connty and «*• irmit it through Rensselaer, also. I can think of no bettor route than from Indirtnapolis to Chicago; and if %hfcre is no better way of building it than the present one suggested by the company formed, let us have it on that plan. If each county which the route passes has toraise and donate a sum stdfieicnt to grade, bridge and tie the' road through her limits, let not Jasper be the onq that fails to do so and defeat the project. In Jasper let a part of the money l»* raised by taxation as the meat equitable wag, but 1 suggest dint la Clift— bad such townships of the county, the tax be levied no* eo high as on those townships near the line of the road whoso benefits by the building of the road will be far fire*tew This arrangement should s-balto beenTnade bofisre the election was ordered by tbe Commissioned Better amend a b#4 arrangentoritor plrfu than tk> defeat a goo«l object or carry it wrongfully. I if w too jatc *to re. arrange the manner SC- the voting.quthc tax (as I suppose it is) that mWTi it VMu piirv on the day of election, each person exf>ress on the back of his ballot if ic would favor the aboyc plqn of tax in preference to taxing the county equally, so w e might know the feeling of the county on that plan of taxation. Let the men of justice in Rensselaer and elsewhere in the county all express their *lenm of righton t|ie back of their ballot 1 that we know tlioir strength. I believe that Gillam and other towuships remote from Rensselaer wish to build up their connty and also their cbnntv stat, but dout force us to pay equally will* yon in a great public improveni*n# W hen our bone-tits theVcfroiu will be far inferior to yours. Lpt ug have this done on principles of justice and right as near as can be and then have good and kind feelings all over our county, awl the townships remote from Reussclafer not feeling that you have forced a too great tax on them to build up your special interest. < A Voicb from Gillam. Our friend takes the correct view of this matter in his argument Ibbt A : railroad will benefit the mhole count)/ and that all should vote for the appropriation, as all will be benefited by a road more than the amount of their extra tax, and because all are interested in building up the eounty and county seat. J. W. Coats calls particular attention (o his very large stock of Smoking Tobacco and Chewing Shorts, which he is selling cheap. - > ricool teachers and the patrons of the Rensselaer schools will find a notice in which they are interested, in our advertising columns. Buy Groceries of C. C. Starr—. he keeps a full stock and sells cheap for cash. He haa also on band a large jttock of Fruit Jars, Sealing W ax, Quecnswarc, Glassfir are, Ac; - We learn that Mr. E. Heidlcbergcr has purchased one of the most extensive assortments of Groceries ever brought to Rensselaer, which ; will be opened for inspection to-1 day. Mr. Tfeidleberger has been | dealing with the people of Jasper! county for many years, and has be- j come intimately acquainted with . their wants, consequently we have no doubt the selection now offered by him will be found to be fifst class. Always affable and accomodating, we are suer those who favor him wrtb their palrowage will be satisfied and pleased.
