A. J. Harmon to Engage in Business in Mitchell, S. Dak.

A. J. Harmon, the auctioneer, and real estate dealer and insurance agent, has decided to .remove to Mitchell, S. Dak., with a view to locating there permanently. He will leave Rensselaer in about two weeks. Last summer he worked at the real estate business there, but did not remove his family from Rensselaer. Now he will take them with him. His present plans are to open an office of his own there and to engage actively in the real estate and insurance business. He will also manage the 320 acre farm belonging to his father. Thursday evening “Rus” gave a stag party to a number of his friends and it was one of the jolliest “all male” events of the season. Fourhanded seven-up was played progressively and E. P. Honan won 15 out of 19 games played and was awarded a box of cigars. A. Harmon, of Pontiac, lir.. father of the host, won on 7 and was given the “booby” prize. S. R. Niehols was a close second for low honors with 8 games, but he and Mr. Harmon took on all comers in a euchre contest and gave several a drubbing before they fell before the science of Walter Porter and Ben Harris. A splendid lunch that was almc-st of banquet proportions, added to the* pleasure of the evening. Mr. Harmon’s decision to leave Rensselaer will be regretted by his many friends who will join The Republican in wishing him fine success and his family a pleasant life at Mitchell.
