ABBTHOMAL TODAY’S LOCALS. William Warren returned to Tefft this morning, after having been here for several days. He is a brother of Harrison Warren and was called here after the death. Differences between the bus drivers resulted in Agent Beam issuing an order yesterday that they no longer back up at the depot platform but at the street crossing at the end of the platform. Born, Monday, Oct 2, to Mr. and Mrs. Addle Warren, of Newton township, a daughter. Oct 4th, to Mr. and Mrs. Andy Myres, of near Kniman, a ddn.*'Oct 4, to the widow of James Cdmpbell, of Laura, a daughter. J. D. Allman returned yesterday from Huntington, where he attended the funeral Monday of his uncle, Doctor F. Allman, who died at the age of 82 years. He was a plasterer by trade, “Doctor” being his given name and not a professional title. He had lived in Huntington for 62 years. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Wishard came down from Chicago this morning for a visit with his mother, Mrs. Jennie Wishard and other relatives. They will go from here to Noblesville to visit his brother and then go to New York for a study period of three weeks before starting for Calcutta, India, where they willjae stationed in Y. M. C. A. work for the next six years. Mrs. C. O. Sands and four children came from Tefft this morning for a short visit with C. M. Sands and family. Her husband is a Methodist minister who has just been sent by the conference—from Patricksburg to Oolitic. While he is moving Mrs. Sands has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Rockwell, at Wheatfield. Ladies desiring millinery and dressmaking, also ladies* tailoring, call on Mrs. H. A. Cripps, over Trust and Savings Bank. Jeff Smith had expected to go west to visit his sons this fall, but he has given that up on account of so much work at home. He reports that Everell had a very good crop near Burk, S. Dak., this year. He rented his own farm near that town and lived this /ear on a rented farm. Frost seriously damaged the corn on his farm and on that of his uncle, but on the farm he rented his crop escaped the frost. Col. A. Solliday and wife, of Watertown, Wis., were guests over night at the Makeever House. They are en route by auto to Florida to spend the winter. This is not their first trip through Rensselaer, as they went through here last fall when on their way south. Colonel Solliday is a veteran of the Civil and SpanishAmerican wars and for some twenty years was a colonel in the Wisconsin national guard. * <T ,- t 'Music lovers: Don’t fail to attend the Salisbury family concert at the Presbyterian church next Thursday evening, Oct. 5. Tickets now on sale at Jessen’s. Thd tile roofing for the ndw depot arrived this morning and the workmen were telegraphed for. The brick platform is about half completed and the heating plant is installed. The laying of the tile flooring was suspended until some other finishing work was completed. The water is yet to be connected up and the toilets and wash basins installed. The progress is rapid now and the depot may be ready to occupy within two weeks. • - - , .- ■ Frank King has his Elm street property almost completed and expects to move into it about the first of November. For several months himself and family have been living in the former August Rosenbaum property on Cullen street, which he had contracted to buy from the present owners, some brewers who secured it from Mr. Rosenbaum. They were slow about closing up the deal and Frank went ahead and enlarged the Rosenbaum property. Several weeks ago. Joe Larsh began negotiations for it and has a deal about closed up. He will occupy it as soon as Mr.. King moves out Theodore Haas does not look much like an invalid and he is not much of one now, although a few years ago he though he was going to shoot the chutes by that route. This morning he ate a three pound catfish for breakfast and felt as happy as a school boy after he did it. But anything that looks like fish suits Thee Haus and there have been few more consistent fishermen in Rensselaer than he. Photographer Joe Sharp was one of the regulars for a number of years and “Baldy” Powers still puts In considerable time en the banks of the river. Jack Warner does pot fish as much as he formerly did and Thee has to keep up the record for the old times. And he is just as good an eater as he is a fisher, and this morning he rubbed his vest with pride and smacked his lips in a fashion that made a little coterie of listeners long for a mess of catfish. ~ A Classified Adv. will rant It
