WEATHER FORECAST. Unsettled weather with snow tonight or Sunday.

Hear! Hear! Here.

Is where I make another fool of myself again. I have been in the Big Fat Dinner business in Rensselaer one year the 25th day of January this year, and after invoicing and figuring over last year’s business I find that after all the economy and close attention to business of myself and wife we have come out on top to the tune of $25.00 and 75 or 16 cents. Therefore, we have concluded that that is too much money for two old people to make in one year. Now then we will give next Sunday, January 30th, one of those famous turkey dinners for the yee sipall sum of 25c. This will be done for the sole purpose to bust the meat trust. D em we will show these monopolists a thing or two. Come and eat turkey with us and keep us from making too much money. Hoping to hear from you Sunday, we remain, your most expectionate Fat Dinner Man and Wife, Geo. and L. B. Fate.

Special Commercial Club Meeting.
