A well-posted railroad official expreses the opinion that within five years every important road in this country will have its freight trains equipped with air brakes. The numerous strikes of the brakemen will tend to hasten this matter, as when air brakes are in general use, the brakemen on freight trains will become a less important character. Rev. E. R. Dille, of Oakland, California, preached two excellent sermons from the pulpit of the M. E. church here last Sunday. Rev. Dille is a speak" er of rare ability, and his sermon in the evening from the text, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me,” was very impressive, while the one which he delivered in the morning was equally as interesting. We notice by our exchanges that a Chicago tub factory is “doing” the Duber watch advertising scheme all over the north part of the state. The plan taken is to write to the postmaster or to a newspaper publisher in a town asking what inducements would be offered for the locating of a branch factory. The dupes of course become interested, talk the matter up, and inquire into the standing of the firm, and in many ways aid in advertising the establishment all oviJr the country.—Mentone Gazette.

What came very near being a fire last Saturday, was owing to Fred Ross leaving his soldering stove on the roof of Ed. Grider’s kitchen which he was tinning. While all were at dinner, the heat from the stove ignited the roof and burnt a hole, but as it commenced to . blaze up, it was fortunately ^een in time to prevent anything more serious than a little excitement. An exchange says, there are events occurring in every community, which, if reported in a local paper would create a eoixaMrtion little dreamed of. Wliat to report and what not to report is what often perplexes the local editor. He is often most unjustly accused of coward- ’ •e and favoritism, when all the time he is looking toward the good reputation of the town where his lot is cast. The local editor from necessity almost constantly stands between two fires and which ever way he turns he is -sure to be unjustly accused. This is one of । the pleasures of the newspaper £bm>iI nes& OOILDEAi WEDDINC. The fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Reece was celebrated on Thursday at their residence, one mile south of North Liberty, in which event their children, besides a large number of friends and neighbors, }>artieipated. About sixty ; persons ia all were present. Their I children in fiftesaianee were, Mrs. , Mary Hi'aton aud William W. Reece, of Hoopeston, 111., T. J. Reece and family, of Walkerton, and Mrs. Louis Deeouders, Mrs. John Whitenger and Dr. J. N. Reece, with their families, of North Liberty. Mr. and Mrs. Johu Creitz., of Wabash, Ind., and Mrs. Mary Thomas, of North Manchester, Ind., were also present, the above named ladies being neices of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Reece. Fifteen grandchildren were there. A pair of spectacles, willow easy chairs, five dollar gold piece, etc., were presented by the children and friends of the family. Rev. Clark Skinner, of the Methodist church, made the presentation speech in a few well chosen remarks, to which father Reece responded feelingly. Two china dishes that Mr. and Mrs. Reece had when they began Keeping house were decorated with flowers and placed upon the table, which was laden with the good things of life. Os the number who saw Mr. and Mrs. Reece united in wedlock half a century ago only three are living to-day. A coincidence of the occasion was the fact that their wedding, well as their golden wedding, came on the same day of the week—Thursday. The guests departed about five o’clock p. m., after extending to the venerable couple their best wishes for the future. Fence! Fence! Something New.
