Hoosier Friend of The Republican Writes Newsy Notes From Jamestown

Crops are now all in and are up and looking fine. Miss Bertha Holmes is working at Floyd, N. D., for Mrs. D. V. Savage, formerly Miss Stella Brown, of Rensselaer, Ind. Several Hoosiers joined the “measlle” band. Geo. Heuoon even had his share of them. - Mr. James Stanley is thinking of going to California. Are you going for your health or on *» wedding trip, James? Listen for the wedding bells. Several social events are accruing in which the Hoosiers are welcome and are certainly enjoying themselves. The most popular one and longest to be remembered was an eating contest in which Roy Scott, of Rensselaer, Ind., and also a Hoosier cook were the leading parties. Roy ate a pie and three quarters, 1 cake, 1 dish of salad and four boiled eggs. The cook won the prize by eating two pies, 1 cake, dish of t»alad and one half dozen boiled eggs. Neither Roy nor the cook either have had much wishes for food since. Warner Hough seems to be enjoying himself now days by riding around in an auto. But Cue auto doesn’t belong to him, but to “papa Roberts.’’ Mr. Spencer Holmes is visiting his uncle, S. B. Holmes and family for a few days. Sidney B. Holmes has the auto fever and is very bad off, but we think a good gentle horse is safer for Sidney in his old days. Fishing is fine now and trips to the lake are a very common thing. Editor, wish you were here to go to the lake with us. Weather is fine.
