Joe Larsh has added some to his window agricultural display and two large potatoes bear the name of Halligan, which is not a bad name for an Irish potato. Joe is the given name of the exhibitor and one potato weighing 1 pound 13% ounces modestly reposes behind a larger sister weighing 2 pounds 1% ounce. They are not only large potatoes but are clear and smooth and evidently of very fine quality. The potato crop in Jasper county is large this year and there should be considerable competition for the largest potato grown.

Drunken Tailor Has His Measure Taken In Justice Court.

“This suit will cost you said Squire Irwin to . William Briggs this Monday morning. That is a rather cheap tailor made suit but it, seemed to fit the tailor and he paid for it mostly in cash, depositing his watch for the balance. Briggs is one of the Briggs brothers, who formerly had a tailor shop on Washington street. He came down from Chicago Saturday night, where he is now working, and was slightly rum befuddled when he arrived and he had a supply on hand. He rented a livery rig at Porter's barn and drove out in the country, from whence came word that he was so badly soused that he needed attention. Mr. Porter went after the rig and found Briggs fast asleep and the horses waiting patiently for directions. They were driven to town and Briggs, who was now entirely down and out was taken to the jail to sober up. He was very penitent this morning and when the court had fined him |1 and costs, he said, “Thank you Judge” just like a polite Judge would do when his tailor had made him an especially well fitting suit. Briggs went back to Chicago on the 10:05 train this morning.

Almost Had a Bad Fire Last Saturday Night.

The prompt discovery of a small fire Saturday evening is all that averted a serious conflagration. It occurred at the Wright furniture store at about 8:30 o'clock. Mr. Wright was sitting in the store, and happened to glance up at the side wall.and see one of his large rugs which hung there, partly enveloped in' smoke. He lost no time in investigating the matter, while some one turned in a fire alarm. A dash from a chemical engine put the fire out and then the cause was plainly discernable. When the room was papered, the paper was hung over a flpe hole without a thimble being placed tn the hole. Louis Gen ires, the fruit man, who occupies the room to the east, built a Are In his stove during the cool days last week and It finally burned the paper and Ignited the rug. Had it happened at night, there Is no telling how disastrous the fire would have been. As It was there was no.loss aside from a hole burned through the rug, and some stain of the wallpaper.
