Mrs. William Frye went to Parr today to see her uncle, Robert Stephenson, whose death is now expected at any time. Mr. Stephenson is an old resident of Jasper county, and was a member of Company G, of the 9th Indiana regiment. He has been in falling health for several years and for some months now has been confined to his home. His sons, Elmer, of 1 Chicago, and Fred, of Pennsylvania, have been called home. Orie B. Stoneuill, guardian ®f the Brook Reporter and responsible for its oddities, has been raising a great howl because Congressman Crumpacker did not send him any garden seed this year. Orie wanted a supply, especially desiring pumpklhs, the presumption being that he, going on the theory that “two heads are better than one" wanted to raise another one just like the one he already has. Orie is a great Joker, and his subscribers must enjoy some great laughs with him—or at him. Thos. F. Watson, of Gillani town* ■ ship, was in town Saturday paying his taxes and getting square on the county treasurer’s boks before he began spring work He also renewed his republican subscription? He was of the opinion that the scarlet fever cases were well in hand at Frances-' ville and in Glllam township, and that it would not spread further, although some of the cases were reported to be very bad and some of the victims weft going to have a hard time pulling through/

A. L. HiCkman, principal of the Sheridan school, wan the guest Saturday of Ross Dean, one of the Rensselaer teachers, the- two having been college friends pX. Indiana University. Mr. Hickffiten was recently given an appointment to teach a school in the Philippine Islands, and he will start for there the same day that the Sheridan schools close,Which will be in five weeks. He is a very pleasant gentleman and looks forward to his school work in the Philippines with considerable pleasurable anticipation. He does not know In what part of the islands he will be stationed but expects to be In the Province of Luzon.

John Greenfield and wife were in Rensselaer today taking care of some business preparatory to their departure tomorrow for Las Vegas, New Mexico. Among other things they had done was to have the Republican changed to their new address. In 1880 Mr. and Mrs. Greenfield went to Las Vegas and made that city their home for about five and a half years. They returned to Jasper county about 23 years ago and have resided since then on their farm near Surrey. When last they were there Mr. Greenfield was employed by the Santa Fe realroad company, but this time he will net try to work. They are going for their health and will live a quiet life. They do not know how long they will remain, possibly six months and possible several years.

In the recent reorganization of .the Remington First National Bank E. L. Hollingsworth was made president, J. P. Hammond vice president and Hartley Church cashier. Mr. Hammonc and Mr. Church will be in active charge of the bank and both are young men of considerable banking experience. Mr. Hammond has been associated with the Wheatfield bank for the'past eight years in the capacity of cashier and his conduct of the Wheatfield bank, of which he was in entire charge muck <sf the time, was so satisfactory to the directors and to the public that his decision to remove to another and larger town was regretted by all who had been used tb doing business with him. Joe is said to combine In the very best degree the essential banking qualities of conservatism and liberality, which means that a borrowing customer can get what It is safe for him to have and no more. An absence of this quality has been the downfall of many a banker. Mr. Church is well known at Remington, his home all of his life, and he also is regarded as a thoroughly competent young banker. The bank Is s&ld to be doing a nice business and to be giving the very best satisfaction to the people of Remington and surrounding country who have occasion to do business with it.

The Old Home Place.

The appended poem appeared In last week’s issue of the Lake County Star, published at Crown Point, and was written by Mrs. A. C. Pan coast, who has for many years resided in Jasper county,, near Rehsselaer, and whose girlhood home was near Crown Point. Back from the road, On a small bit of land, At the foot of the hill, ’ The old house stands. In appearance never grand, In dimensions but small, Once the home of my parents, And their children all.

The roof now has trimmings Of moss gray and green, While smoke from the chimney No longer is seen. , • - tl lv It;.- !•* The rooms are now empty, Cold, bare, are the floors; Rough boards seal the windows, And locked are the doors. - There la mt m the hinges, Dußt covers the walls, . Silk spider webs festoon !*- The parlor and hall. V'g T; The porches have fallen, \ y And gone to ddfcay, I _ Vines clinging to them- \ Have withered awaf/ Tv T The whole place so changed/ But one object I see, ! Familiar in childhood, That Old whit?» oak tree. A ; ‘.V The old barn now missing, I And near by the shed, 1 Where cold winter evenings The cows were fed. ‘ .. . . _ ' i. . The well, with the windlass \ And curb high and wide, The two little oak trees That grew near the side. The old-fashioned garden, With its bright, flowery face, * - Y©» may look where you will And find not a trace. The bridge, and the gate, Are things of the past; The yard lies neglected, In ruins and grass. Old home, here’s a secret. And if you could know, You are visited dally, ’ Come sunshine or snow. The guests returning, They oft journey back By the noiseless train On memory’s track. Unless you’re standing, Your purpose seems clear, Guarding the memories, Of those still held dear.

A Word for Our Farmer Friends.

A manure spreader Is a sure remedy for hard times. Every wide* awake farmer* will plan to make n| some of the losses sustained' by reason of the ruinous slump in prices of farm products last fall. One of the easiest and surest ways to do this Is to increase the QUALITY and* QUANTITY of his crops. The fanner who had S' spreader last year, and used it, got as much again MONEY out of the use-of the same amount of manure as the- Bean did who had no machine and spread the old way, and as- ar matter o t course he had' much more GOOD CORN. In short; the men'who had spreaders and used them are* about the only men who have good corn this year. Investigate this assertion and it will be found to be true. That barnyard manure Is the- bestcrop producer,, when properly applied, none will dispute. That machine spreadlag produces best results nons but the uninformed will deny. Buy a manure spreader, It will lacrease your corn crop M per cent ta QUALITY and S 3 per cent In QUANTITY. There are very few machine# made with which you can know what you are spreading to the acre. This feature Is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE. With my machine you know* EXACTLY what amount you are spreading. If you want six loads, set the lever, and you get BET, NOT |

EIGHT. Any of th'd 'nfttehlnKi' win spread TOO MUCH, very fear' win* spread TOO LITTLE. Aftdr spreading by hand almost every ne*w beginner, being used to seeing the manure so thick on the ground; puts' on too much by machine. ThfiTs a* fatal mistake! Ton buy the machine' so that you can turn all the mauftra' Into corn, hay or grain the year yotf spread It THAT IS WHERE IT* MAKES YOU MONEY. To do this th*' manure must be spread THIN and 1 THOROUGHLY, tom to pieces. One hundred loads—and most far-' mere have more than that—of me' nure spread with my machine will put enough on 16% acres of ground to double a grass crop, or to add from 10 to 20 bushels of com to t£| acre, and ALL of good quality. This same 100 loads If spread by hand would not cover more than four or five acres. A big Increase from 11 acres Is therefore obtained by n«ing a machine over hand spreading and with the SAME amount of manure and half the labor and time. 1 Buy a manure spreader for cash If you can, on time if you must, while they are sold at the old price. I sell the best spreader In Rensselaer. Come in and let me prove It to you. C. A. RsWrta. 1 have Just received a fresh oar of oyster shell. All poultry raisers should avail themselves of the advShtage of the early use, as It contains 97 per cent of carbonate of ROM and all the qualities that a hen needs at this time of the year for health, ant egg pod action.
