ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS.

X W. Sawin shipped two car loads of watermelons to Indianapolis yesterday and went down to see them sell. His crop at Fair Oaks is turning out splendidly and a car or two is shipped out every day. Will Gratner, Alf Randle, Ancil Potts and Milt Michael, of Barkley township, accompanied by four boys, took a little rest from active farm work today and are spending it on tbe Kankakee river fishing “for" salmon and pickerel. Leslie Clark, one of the publishers of The Republican, left yesterday on a summer vacation trip. He went first to Chicago and will go from there by. boat to Milwaukee and thence to Mackinaw, and probably take a trip from there to Detroit or Cleveland, or both cities. He will be gone about ten days. J. M. Murray and George Annin, of Stroud, Okla., arrived in Rensselaer yesterday and will probably be here for several days. They brought samples of some Oklaboma peaches with them that are about as fine as are grown. They have a fine cotton crop and very good corn in Lincoln county this year, they report. Mr. Annin is a relative of Martin L. Ford, of Hanging Grove township. A report was circulated in Rensselaer Tuesday that Miss Ruth Gilmore, who works in the home of Attorney and Mrs. E. P. Honan, had been married Monday at St Joe, Mich., to a Chicago Heights bachelor about three times her age. The report was gaining credence when she did not return from Chicago Heights as soon as some of her friends had expected her, but she came home today and did not bring a husband with her, and firmly denied that she had been married or even given it a thought. This was joyous news to her steady, Gossie Brown, who had passed a sleepless night or two worrying about the rumor.
