Jasper County Good Enough.

A Rensselaer citizen for many years recently said to the Rpeubllcau reporter that Rensselaer and Jasper county were plenty good enough, for him. “I see people,” he said, “who have been residents of old Jasper for many years pick up and go away; to another section of the country and some of them prosper and occasionally some one leaves because their health is poor here and there is a chance to regain it in a different climate. But I believe that there is no healthier place on earth than Jasper county. There is rarely ever a case of typhoid fever, and this Is no doubt due to the splendid water we have. There may be other places just as good, but Jasper county seems to me to contain enough of the good to make a fellow think a long time before he moves away.
