George has a brother-in-law there who has been on the look out for a land bargain and if they decide to purchase, George expects to move there in the spring.In the opinion of the lecture going public, your “Simon Says Wig-Wag” was the hit of the course so far. You were greeted with the largest audience of the season.—Dr. C. H. Brough, University of Arkansas, in personal letter. At M. E. church Thursday evening, January 19th, 8:15 o’clock. John O’Connor, of Kniman, has succeeded in making arrangements for better train connections at Fair Oaks, which should prove very advantageous to people from the north part of the county. The C. & E. I. has received orders to hold its north bound train at Fair Oaks to connect with No. 6, the north bound passenger due in Rensselaer at 3:15, when that train is * not more than 30 minutes late. Persons who are going north sh >ul<t inform Agent Beam, who will telegraph the agent at Fair Oaks to hold the north bound train. Failure to make this connection has caused great inconvenience in the past. The temperature took a big and unexpected drop last night and, according to the government thermometer kept at St. Joseph's college, reached a point 11 degrees below zero. Many thermometers about town registered from 5 to 9 below at 7 o’clock this morning. The drop came quietly, without any disagreeable winds, and few realized that it was very cold until they got out doors this morning. Today the temperature is much warmer and a bright sun has been shining almost all day, but the snow has thawed but a trifle, even in the center of the streets. Although there was 4 or 5 inches of snow very few sleds have appeared on the streets. Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Mr. Jerry Healy and Miss Mary Meyer, both of whom have been life long residents of Rensselaer. The announcement was first made by Father Daniels at St, Augustine’s church last Sunday morning. The ceremony will be performed at the home of her sister, Mrs. Will Donnelly, in Texas, and Mies Meyer and her mother left for that state last week. The groom, who has been a clerk in Rensselaer stores for several years and who has recently clerked In the Rowles & Parker grocery department, left for Texas Sunday. Miss Meyer has been successfully engaged in the millinery business in Rensselaer for a number of years. Both of the principals of the forthcoming wedding are among our most popular people. Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Meader came to town today to see their daughter Helen, who is a senior in the Rensselaer high school s and who has been sick for several days at the residence of Cal Cain, where she and her sister Lois, a junior, have a room. Lolb went home sick several days ago and Helen is threatened with pneumonia. Mr. Meader has himself been proving his adaptability to other work besides farming by installing at his home a hot water heating plant. He erected a fine new residence during the fall, and although it is not quite completed, he put in the heating plant anyway, and has it in operation. It was just as cold in Union 'township last night as any other place in Jasper county, but In the Meader home a thermometer registered 58 above zero when Ira got up this morning, and he thought hie out-door thermometer had gone “bugs” when it showed 9 below.
