Ge orge W. Payne.

George W. Payne, son of James H and Mary E. Payne, was bo;n in Barkley township, Jasper county, Dec. 22, 1875, and died in Rensselfe ', Oct 24, 1908, at the age of 32 years, 10 months and 2 days. Most of his life was spent in this community until about 8 years ago. The last eight were largely spent at Hammond. About two years ago his sickness began with an attack of the grip. On June 4th of last year, he went to Colorado, and remained there about four months, only to find that the change in climate was unavailing, and returned here to Rensselaer. During the past summer he made a short trip to a sanitorium in Michigan, hoping for - better results, but soon found that the climate the.e was not favorable to his recovering. He then returned to Rensselaer and has resided here ever since. On June 13, 1908, he was baptised and received into membership in the M. E. church. Since that time he has given many indications of Christian assurance and comfort. He seemed to be especially helped and comf r'.ed through prayer with him in the home. Besides bis father and mother, he leaves two brothers and two sisters, Charles and Lewis Payne, and Mrs. Ada Marion, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Bertha McNany, of Hamnjond, one sister having died at three years of age. Mr. Payne was a member of tie order of the Knights of the Maccabees of the World, Tent No. 42, Hammond, Ind., and that order was duly represented here. "How swift , the torrent rolls That bears us to the sea, The tide that hurries thoughtless souls To vast eternity.’’ Don’t let the efforts of democratic papers frighten you or divert your attention to the one greatest duly in this election, and that is to vote the straight republican ticket. Republicans should not scratch the’r ticket unless they see that the other fellow is a better man than the one they are turning down. From top to bottom the republicans have nominated thoroughly competent and thoroughly honest men. Sure, the Home Grocery pays 22c for eggs.

Oakwood to be Here Saturday.

The Rensselaer high school is to tackle another hard proposition next Saturday, when the Oakwood high school from West Lafayette will be their opponents at Riverside field. Oakwood Is always strong for the reason that they have the advantage of watching Purdue train, and they have always put up a good quality of ball against the black and red. This year they are said to be especially good, and last Saturday they hand d it to Logansport high to the tune of 26 to 0. But the Rensselaer boys are also in good shape and are playing Championship ball, and Coach Parker and Prof. Bradshaw and Dean are giving the boys hard practice, and they are in perfect condition. If the weather is good a great crowd of rooters will probably see the game, which promises to be one of the best of the season.

Walker Township Appeal.

There is at present but one voting precinct in Walker township, bi t there are enough voters there to create a second precinct and thus save the voters of the north end long drives to reach the poles, but the other precinct can not be established until 200 votes have been polled. This can be accomplished if all voters get out and attend this election. Don’t let bad weather keep you away; no matter what your politics are turn out and vote and the result will be another voting precinct at all future elections in that township. Most disfiguring skin eruptions, scrofula, pimples, rashes, etc., are due to impure blood. Burdock Blood Bitters is a cleaning blood tonic. Makes you clear-eyed, clear-brained, clearskinned. f

Before any persons decides to vote against James E. Watson and the republican county option proposition, they should line *up and read from top to bottom one of ihi big po t rs that tahe brewers have had pooled here in Rensselaer.. The sincere temperance man can not afford to let the brewers run the s'aie of Indiana, and their effort to do it should have a speedy and positive rebuff. And temperance people know that county option means the destruction of many saloons and they will surely help to do it A vote for Watson will aid in the good work.
