There will be preaching at Good Hope church, in Union, Sunday at 3:00 p. m., by Rev. G. H. Glarke, of the Christian church. John Bruner has bought of Merle Tyler the stock of goods which the 'latter recently secured in a trade with E. V. Ransford. He will move the same either to Gary or Valparaiso, but will continue his residence in Rensselaer. The very beautiful spring weather continues and vegetation of all kinds has made fine growth within the past week. Many people are now eating their own garden truck and the encouraging fruit prospects is very pleasing. The nights are .quite cool and have not missed the frost margin very far, but up to this time no serious damage has resulted. Farmers report that the ground was never better for planting corn, and this seems to be the condition all over the county, and unless unfavorable weather conditions occur later there should be a mammoth crop this year, for there is a less acreage of both wheat and oats. It is reported that over near Remington there are evidences of wire worms working on the corn. They caused much damage in certain localities last year as they usually do (Where germination is delayed by cool Weather. It Is not too late, however, for replanting and this will probably be done wherever the cut wools get In their work.
