E. church, Thursday evening, Jan. 19th. The Remington Encampment of Odd Fellows has invited the Rensselaer Encampment to attend their installation next Friday evening and District Deputy Chas. E. Simpson and a number of Other members will probably attend. A dispatch from Wilmingtpn, Del., says that Charles B. Landis, formerly congressman from the 9th Indiana district, and for many years the editor of the Delphi Journal, has been made an official of the Dupont Powder Co., of Wilmington, and will spend much of his time in that state, although maintaining his regal residence in Carroll county. Bob Michael will hold a public sale Tuesday, Jan. 24th at his lots south of the county jail. It is an off year when Boh don’t hold a sale, and he always has a good one, and the sale this year will be no exception. Bob believes that one week’s advertising is sufficient -sos a sale and consequently he don’t - advertise far in advance, but his bills will be up a week before the sale, and by using a liberal amount of printer’s ink, he lets every one in the locality know about his sale. W. M. Hurley and Miss Nellie Coughlin, of LaGro, Ind., returned to their home today after a visit of several days at the home of John Ryan in Gillam township. Mr. Hurley went to a Catholic schuul Just south of Rensselaer in 1876 and this was his. first visit here since that time. He could find but few things to remind him of that period, but Sunday spent the day with Henry Luers and had a fine visit. He has spent much of the recent years in southwestern South Dakota. Booth Lowrey has- been on our course three times and has pleased as well or better than any other number we have ever had, end you know we have had a long list of the leading attractions in the past eight, years. As you know, I seldom write any kind of endorsement, for Our lecturers, but when one so completely captivates our audience as Lowrey did three times in succession, It is a pleasure for me to heartily endorse him.—W. W. Martin, manager Doniphan, Mo., lyceum course. At M. E. church, Thursday evening, January 19th.
