It was 81 degrees there, while it was 854 degrees here.

A squad of Flying Rollers from Benton Harbor, were here the latter part, of la-t week, baying sonie ho : ses for use on their farms near that heaven on earth of their’s. Tney bought five or six in all, in eluding a team from Roth Brothers which they paid $125 for. The Rollers seem to roll in money. Roy Bussell, earner on rural ro ite out of McCoysburg, is the m >st up-to-date rural router in Jasper county, if not in northwest In Ji&na. He has just bought an automobile to make his rounds with. It is a Winton runabout, and by all reports, a fine machine. John Chamb°rlain writes from Mobile, ATuTTEat they have Lad a fine winter there, but that it is getting hot and still a’heating. namely 75 degrees, and be and Mrs. Chamberlain were going to get back to Benton Harbor, this week. If he had been here the latter part of last week, he might well have thought it was getting hot. The three days of fierce heat naturally ended in a thunder storm which came last Saturday evening, with a rainfall of .27 of an inch. The storm was also naturally succeeded by colder weather, and, Sunday’s highest temperature was 55 degrees, or 30 degrees colder than Saturday’s highest. Still the change to colder was not severe, antFSunday was a fine, bright and mild day. Our new postmaster, George E. Murray, has received his commission, and will take possession of his office next Monday morning, April Ist. It is not only the first day of the month, but also the first week day of the week and the first dayof the quarter,allof which makes a good time for a new man to go in; but whether any combination of circumstances makes a good time for an old man to go out, is quite another matter. Quite a notable wedding which took place at Coats, Kansas, on Tuesday, March 19th, was one in which the bride has numerous relatives in Rensselaer and vicinity, and is herself quite well known from visits with her relatives. She was Miss Pearl Hammond, daughter of C. F. Hammond, and the groom was Claude Snyder, a very worthy young man of Coats. The bridesmaid was Miss Fannie Porter, of Rensselaer, a cousin of the bride’s.

There was mighty nearly another wreck near Fair Oaks this forenoon. Train No. 32, which passes here at 9:55, north, had its tender jump the track this side of that town and run a long distance on the ties, before it was discovered. The track was put a good deal on the bum, and had to be repaired before No. 5, due here at 10:55 could get over it, and which was au hour late in reaching’here, in consequence. Out in some parts of not altogether benighted California, the high schools take as great an interest in oratorical and debating contests as they do here in athletic battles. Thu«, for instance, we s e by a Riverside paper that the high school of that town has cleaned out Redlands twice in debating contests. And it is another evidence of how Jasper and ex-Jasper county boys are always giving a good account of themselves, wherever they go and mix in, That the leading debater on [the

Riverside team, is a boy who formly lived quite a number of years in Rensselaer. being,M alter Bott, son of Hany T. Bott, a former foreman in The Republican'office. Walter is a fine, studious and industrious boy, who is more than paving his own way thru high school, and intends to keep up the same pace until he gets thru a university. He is an athletic, manly fellow, too, but good brainsand good habus are his strong suits, and can be depended upon to make gbod. The subject of the debate with Redlands, was “Resolved, that Japanese laborers should be excluded from the United States.” Walter was given about all the credit for the victory, ft nd h isspeeeh wan the only one abstracted by the Riverside paper. Itching, torturing «kin eruptions, disfigure, annoy, drive one wild. Doans Ointment bungs quick relief and lasting cures. Fitly cents at any drug store.
