W. R. Lee recently made a trade with J. H. Holden, by which Mr. Lee becomes the owner of the Holden property of almost five acres in the northeast part of the city. Mr. Holden secured in the trade a cash consideration and the following property* a vacant lot on Weston street between the residence of Dr. L M. Washburn and the residence of T. H. Stephens; the former M. J. Thornton property in the east part of town; the former Alf Jacks property in the north west part of town, and, the property formerly owned by Rev. F. A. Morrow in Morocco. Editor- John Bowie, of the Kankakee Valley Review, failed to come to Rensselaer today as is his weekly custom. His paper states that he is laid up with a “kink in his back,” the kind that makes a fellow have all the agonies of toothache, headache, rheumatism, stomache ache and all the other aches a fellow ever heard of, all combined and settled in the small ofthe back. Brother ’ Bowie writes like a man in the last throw of iplsery and says that every that has come in has advised him that he would be better in a different position. Some tell him to stand up, others to lay down, some say for him to sit uplift the big arm chairs and others to lay on his stomach. Some say to lay on the left side and some on the right side and John is so bewildered with the multiplicity of directions that he is apt to sta»Hß a sentry at the dopr to guard against invasion from people with a home -made remedy John don't think it a bit fqnny tq have some one come in and relate how their uncle died the third day after taking down withthe same kind of a pain. The fell >w that wants to pay a year’s subscription, however, will be welcomed env time of the day or night at the Bowie home. ■
