Another heavy wind and rain storm visited the east side of Hanging Grove Tuesday afternoon, and left another trail of distruction, blew down the corn, oats shocks, trees, etc, and played havoc geneially. , The Ripple Bros, show pulled into McCoysburg late Tuesday afternoon, Just in time to erred the tents for the show. They showed at Francesville the night before, and on their way here some of the wagons got badly confused in the direction, and drove six or seven miles out of the way. There were 23 in the company and their performances consisted mainly of airiel work, most of it was unquestionably good, but was the general talk that the whole affair did not have the attractions that the Fite show had a year ago.

JOHN EGER.

A Misstatement Corrected.

The editor of the- Jasper County Democrat has a hard time trying to make the farmers believe that I am for the Jasper County Telephone Co. and against the proposed Mutual System. When he gays I was closeted with the president of the Jasper County Telephone Co. after the meeting Saturday, he made a statement that is not true. The statement that the price on phones was, not reduced until Sunday is another of his many misrepresentations. You people who are signing for stock in the new company should ask the editor if you are sure of getting a phone. I understand the company, if organized, will only put in phones where it suits the directors. If this is *so you may pay your SSO arid get no phone. I am in favor of a mutual telephone company in and around Rensselaer, but not county wide. The county is too thinly settled in many of the out townships and no company can build these lines and not lose money. I have stated and do believe that if a mutual company is organized that the Jasper county lines should be purchased in preference to a fight if the lines can be bought at a reasonable price.
