Ouamatology of Jasper County.

What’s in a name? It would be; haiAtoexplain any scientific process by which all local names are evolved. Everything should have a name The writer caused two villages in Jasper to be platted and named.! Tfe? «rst was transferred from the township probably. Called i the appeaiwc* of its swamps covered with wild rice, at the fruitage. Near its center, wfere Indian gardens of maize and, as all corn is wheat that may have, been, also, a suggestive idea. ' The village is now a bright prosperous town, standing third in wtifth and population. The name was sentimental and if not exactly fitting when applied the environment has grown to hoßor the appellation. Simon Parr of England the long Kvrtnnd our oldest son, our baby Parr, gave name to the second Jasper plat recorded at our instance.

Jn the circle of commerce par is, a safe condition for an estate or for a note, bill or stock. The “bears" may depress or the “bulls” elevate and hurt the “lambs" but'safety is at par. So the name Parr sounds good. That village is also prosperous and so far free from speculation or bankruptcy of its citizens The name stands for a square deal and a healthy condition. Wheatfieid and Parr, so fer possess not only names pleasant to thjßLear but untarnished by the conduct of the villagers and townspeople. The-writer has constantly resided in old Jasper since the autumn of 1*862. For ten years the .schools, and since, the swamps have had his attention. The presence of the first and the absence of the second was our constant aim in life. The oqgin, present status and future of the local names ought to have some interest to the Japerites. Naming streams, corporations of territory, and places of interest like the naming of babies may not always fit the thing named. The Indians left us some names. A promoter or some member of his family m 1 y have attached the name. The names of those celebrated in war or statesmanship may have been applied. Old or rather first settlers cr nearness of residence may have transferred a human to a. place despgnative. The one who locates may give names with which he was familiar. The best names are those that flow from sentiment or appearance Other names exhibit no definite suggestion to the student. Every switch, station, village, town, city, place of commerce or manufacture ought to bear a distinct name. Every church, school, street or load should, be named.

The same is true of every open stream of water, natural or artifical The most cheerful wide awake and prosperous merchants, farmers, mechanics and professional men designate the place where they may be found for business. There are many of the Jaspentes who have sore knowiege and skill than the writer to tell the county's nomenclature but as I have :■ time I will try to remind some and suggest to ethers what and why some localities are so calledPatriotism. We grow familiar with the herpes «f 1776 m a study of names d |pc*stiQft and parts of our com-; mow country Washington as the father of his county 4s the only name at a man higpenoogh for a stats.

Another Letter F rom California

The following letter was mwtol iep?i*<ldfrojaJh Boston,; +f Ban* Monk*, Osh, “I believe I will take the liberty to write and t«U yon about our southern California home. I will not tell yon all I know this time, for. Josh Billings very truthfully says ttmt“he who tells all heknows ofteu tells more than he knows?* ,du I wfU try and keep within the limit of truth.

-j. We are located in Santa Monica, hv the sea, twenty tniles west of L s Angeles- This morning Jjj is, very beautiful, the sun is shining. warm as it dous on a June morn ing back in bid Indiana. Tb* birds pre singing and the flowers are blooming. All around is thfe. picture of sumrner. I Pave Just i*». timed from the garden with flowers, yes, real flowers, roses, geran iuttjs, heliotropes, violets, calls limes,, and others. s On the night of Jau. 14th we had a fine rain and on Tuesday we had a storm at Bea, and we sat at our front windows and watched the white Cape rolling up like small mountains and breaking on the beach with a tremendous roar. It is a wonderful sight to behold, bat this morning the ocean is very calm and as I look oat over it 1 see fishing launches here and tt ere with a Large ocean liner in the distance.

Now, if yon will, we wiH take a car just iu front of our door, for Los Augelee. We pass the world famed Venice of America, with its canals fed by the high tides. 01 we speed thru walnnr groves, alfalfa fields, an t now we are in the city, speed lug up Hill street. On our left is Central Park, where we see bnudreds of people loungiug on the neats, aid (keep off the grass) we leave the car and take a stroll thru the city. We see la ies dresstd in wi ite, babies with low socks, men with their Panamas in their hands, wiping the sweat from their brows, the bare footed news boys Our return trip is made by the way of the soldiers national home, where we see the blue coats, nearly 3,000 strong, basking in the sunshine. On we speed np San Vicenta bar, on to the palisades, where we~see to onr right the beautiful interur ban homes of Santa Monica by the Sea. To our left 200 feet below we see bathers in the serf and just a little farther up we see Port L's Angeles, the longest war! in the world. A steamer has jost arrived and is unloading its passengers. Now we are on Ocean Ave. again, where we took a car for the trip. We bare ridden 40 miles in an open carriage without any wraps. Look at yonr calendar and yon will seethat it was the 16th of January.” P.
