Paul Wood, of south of town, killed two chicken hawks yesterday and his brother Chauncy killed one Monday. Chicken hawks are very hard to shoot and it takes a shrewd hunter to bring, one down. The .Wood boys when on a hawk hunting trip, spend several Ilnurs and adopt all klpd of ruses to fool these destructive birds. They have located two of their nests and expect to finally shoot the old ones by watching the trees which contain the nests. We have unloaded 5 car loads, over 1,000 barrels of flour since Jan. Ist, 1910. More flour than all the other merchants of Rensselaer have handled. We are not giving ourselves credit for salesmanship, but give the credit to the high quality of the flour. Remember every sack guaranteed to be the best flour made or money refunded. Aristoß, Gem of the Valley, of Lord’s Best, only $1.60 a sack. JOHN EGER. Tom Parker writes to have his Republican sent to Arvilla, N. Dak., to which place he removed from Larimore.

He said that from where he was sitting as he wrote he could look out on a snow bank ten feet high, in which his children were playing.

Patrick Halligan and daughter Maggie arrived in Rensselaer this ing from Ocala, Fla., where they had' spent the winter. The morning train due here at 5:30 accommodatingly Btopped here for them, as it should do all tpp time fop passengers south of Monon, and especially for passengers from a long distance who are exhausted with long travel. Mr. Halligan is, about 90 years of age and has been in very poor health all winter. At first it was thought he would never reach Rensselaer alive, but careful nursing has greatly his condition and he stood the trip quite well, except for a general ethaustlon.
