Robinson and wife came from Connersville Saturday and will be in Rensselaer for an indefinite period, living with bis mother, Mrs. G. M. Robinson, on River street. George has improved slightly in health since his last visit here but still has to use a cane to support himself while walking and his recovery is very slow. The weatherman has forcasted rain for several days and clouds and "thunder each evening have indicated showers, but Rensselaer and vicinity has had none for a week and then a very inadequate one. Other nearby towns report beneficial showers. We need a good all-day soaker for best results to corn and pastures. Dan Lesh writes fros Menominee, Wis., that they have had a good year there, with sufficient rain. Their grain was of a good quality and lots of it They are well satisfied with their home there and will continue to keep acquainted with things in old Jasper county through the Semi-Weekly Republican, to which he renewed his subscription. John WMJllery, formerly of Brook, but for several years employed in the pension building in Washington, D. C. has been sick at his farm near Brook for almost two months, and for some time his case was regarded quite serious. He is now improved, however, and will probably recover, but he will not return to his work- in Washington for a month or more. Rev. J. Ford Rainier and wife and three children, of Indianapolis, arrived last evening in their ChalmersDetroit auto for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. K. Rainier. They picked up G. A Rainier at Brookston and brought him as far as Remington for a Short visit with his son, Dr. A P. Rainier, who brought him here this morning to take the train for his home. Mrs. J. A Snyder and Mrs. Cfarrie D. Short attended a reunion of the Baughman family last Sunday at the home of their sister, Mrs. Frank Gardner, near Francesville. Sixty-three ffiembers of the family were present including U. M. Baughman, from Oklahoma City, and other relatives from Illinois and nearby Indiana towns. A pleasant day was spent. U. M. Baughman left today for his home in Oklahoma, and his wife and daughter, who have been in Colorado, left yesterday for their home. The man in Rensselaer who is not now employed has no one to blame but himself, provided he is physically able to work. About twenty hands are at work at the new depot, including the sand and gravel haulers, and a similar number are working at the match factory. A half dozen are working at the M. E. church and a dozen or more on the alley paving jobs. With threshing taking up most of the time in the country, there is an era of hustle in Jasper county that should make a lazy man either'go to work or move away. Treasurer-elect A A Fell was over from Carpenter township Monday, looking over the treasurer’s office a little to see what he could learn about It It Is understood that he has made a proposition to Treasurer Allman to remain as his deputy and it will be good news to Rensselaer people to have Mr. Allman give an affirmative reply. His ability as an officer and his high qualities of citisensehip have propularized him not only in Rensselaer but throughout the county, and it is hoped that he will continue to make thia city his home after his term of office expires, which will be December Slat of this year.
