A meeting will be he.ld in ,Starr’s Hall, Monday night, 28th instant, for the pMrpoFe of organizing nn assodh-'

tion to take charge of the soldiers’ graves hf Weston Cemetery. It will be the duty of thia association to see that these graves are kept in a tidy condition perpetually, or as long ns the organization ahull exist; to arrange a programme each year for the proper observance of Decoration day; If provide ways and means to defray the actual necessary expepSe attendant upon these nets. Invitation Is made general for the attendance of all citizens wiio feel an interest rn this matter, and especially of those, who have relativues but led in those graves, to attend and participate in the deliber* aliens of this meeting. Remember that the meeting is to be held in I Starr’s Hull, next Monday evening, 7rgo <:‘i , tor ,J Tr~- So far those WIIB 1 have t iken’the most interest in this matter are people who are actuated by purely patriotic gratitude—they -frnvcy-tnhthvr"pa-rent-.-- child nor kitiJ died resting there; will not relatives show as much honor for Ilia dead as strangers?

MORE RAILROADS.

I We have quite recently learned tlicue facts cdiice ruing other ra i 1 road enterprises which premise to interest tlie people of Jasper county: The Chicago & Itjdnina Southern railroad .company is an organization. that was ■ perfected some time last spring. It lias in contemplation the building of a road from Chicago to Brazil iu Clay county, Indiana. Its projected route/ is by way of South Chicago, HamI ir.ond on the state line in Lake county, Crown Point, through Jasper (or Newton}, Benton, Warren. JPountain i ami Parke counties to Brazil in Clay county, The company have thus far been working mainlv for the interests • of tire road north of the Kankakee river, in Indiana, and to secure lift: , entrance into Chicago. The latter robjeet is about consummated and they I will soon be in position to work up j interest in the enterprise south of the • Kankakee towards. Brazil. The comprnry irave acquired eiTCograging hicirt ■; aid, right of way, and, in making ' Hammond, Irondale, South Chicago and Englewood points on tlieir have also secured good local interests. They det-ire, if possible,’ to make : Rensselaer a, point on their line. i Elsewhere is published the proceed- ■ ing§ of a meeting held in Rensselaer lust Saturday, at which an urgauizu- | lion was elleeted to cover the same ! pwpesed route HouPh of here. Aa t iro ! interests of the two companies are idt'ntical from this town southward it is to be presumed that they will work harmoniously an<T rirufißoirxo accomplish tire results, and to this , end a consolidation of means and effort will be made. When Rensselaer is connected witn ChiragoTmd the voa+ fields south ry direct tines of 'railroad, in addition to the ..eastern. conneclimis Boon_ to be had by the completion of the Indianapolis. Delphi and Chicago road, she will have : attained a position of no meatfiniport- ■ ance so far as commercial advantages are concerned; and it is not too extravagant to hope that she will rank I among the more thriving towns of the state.

The Narrow Gauge

Work upon tbe Indianapolis, Delphi and ! Chicago railroad is progressing rapidly. The piers fur the bridge across the Tippecanoe are completed, mi l the timbers for t sac so perstructwe «re' being placed upon (he ground. The. grading is about finished, j between Monticello and Pitted,urg, and we have the word of Colonel Yeoman that track laying will c aumcncs at Monticello .on the 6th of next month. Should the weather continue favorably, they expect to have the track complete to the west bank of the Wabash by the loth ci* 2l)th. The piers tor th** bridge across the Wabash are I ready to receive the superstructure, and the approaches iu an uufinished cuuditiou, so it will require but a short time to place the bridge in position. ■ The grading from the city to the river i.- of but smalt moment, and we may confidently predict that ottr preparations for celebrating the completion of the narrow-gauge to Delphi will be made .before.Clirtsimns.—jDef/’At Times.

The Chicago, Rensselaer & Braszil Railroad.

A meeting was field at the ejfito of R. 8. Z. Dwiggi'-.s on Saturday evoi.ing, October llhh, for the purpose of organizing a company to. construe* a line of railroad from Chicago t > Brazil, Clay county, Indiana.

Wisdom is not talkative, but executive. Brevity is the soul of wit. A rabbit’s tail is an emblem of the Soul of wit.. So is a sentence in a dictionary. For a fact it is true that .jL-Leapuld ranks high among the enterprising merchants of tlio great northwest country. It is also true tbit he keeps on sale one of the finest, best and cheapest stocks of general merehundise in thia tnritiy county of Jasper. Another truth is that he nt;d Baylor can treat customers with tl.e suavity, grace and elegance of the most p dished gentlemen of tne land. It ia a stubborn, substantial, impregnable faci that people wlw trade nt Lwpiddli. brown sloue iters get the worth of their money; they got par value every time. It is an. other truth that the new stock of goods at Leopold’s, designed lor the fall and early winter trade, is not excelled in magnitude, quality, or cheapness, by any in this market. To be brief, and therefore to be wiseand witty, Leopold’s is among tho very best places in the world, to do domestic trading. If atty are increduldfts on thia subject and disposed to treat these Statements as tha factors of a magnificent, stupendous radical fabrication, invented solely for campaign purposes, to injure a good and itinocent community, they may prove whetber true or false and injurious simply by culling at Leopold’s and making the necessary in vest igatiou. It coats nothing..Sa■ look into the store, nothing to look at the gj .us, nothingfo das.tjro prices. You pay only for what you buy,.and you get what you buy exceedingly cheap. Prove it. Mr. James 11. Ball of Crown Point, one of the directors of the Chicago & Indiana Southern railway company, was in town yesterday on business connected with thnl enterprise. The prospectus of the company suites it* purpose to bo to build a lino of railroad “Irom Chicago, via South Chicago/ “Hammond, Crown Point, Rensselaer, Rem••ingiou, Templeton, Attica, Chambersburg, "Rockville, to Brazil in Clay county, Indi“ana; intersecting at RenMolaer .witit.the “Indiunupolis, Delphi & Chicago railway;, “at Remington with the Toledo, Peoria & “Warsaw rand; st Templetun with the Wa“basti <& yfestern; at Attica with ths “Wabash River railroad and- branch to “Crawfordsville; :it Chambersburg with “the Blpcmington & ‘•with the. Logansport & Kokomo; and at “Bratil with the St. touts, Terre Hants & “Indiantfpolis railroad, and all southern “points.” It will be seen in the proceedings of a meeting held last Saturday, which are reported elsewhere in this paper, that a company was organised in Rensselaer, with Hon' R. 8. Dwiggins as presided?,’ to cover substantially the same territory from this point southward. Lt might be well to make an effort to unite the two interests. ’Tis the voice of wisdom crying in public places and saying: In the mellow day* of autumn prepare for the,rigors of winter. Iteip your catnip lea, bury your hatchela, pull your ears, sO# your ice, plant your snururaut, pare your s’adrfagea. cut your toes, steal your winter fuel, thresh yonr. wife, bell your pigs, and buy all your fine clothing fur prayer meetings and euchre parlies of T. M Jones, fashionable tailor. Those who arc offended at tlie-veiee of wu—doro are feols. They will s-eer at this advice butthe wise trade with Jmiosand are warm, neat and happy. They etyoy life.
