He has been about under the weather for the past week. Mrs. A. R. Hopkins entertained a number of ladies at her home on Front street Friday afternoon in honor of, her guest, Mrs. A. W. Hopkins, of Chicago. The regular 10-cent social of the M E. church will be held at Mrs. Dr. Brown’s Tuesday afternoon, February 13. A general invitation is extended to all.

Rhoades, widow of William Rhoades, is quite ill at tier home on Milroy avenue, with Mrß. Emma J. York. She has been an invalid for several years and two weeks ago was taken considerably worse. It is eight days now since a number of people turned up their noses and said it didn’t make a tarnal bit of difference whether the groundhog saw his shadow or not But Mr. Groundhog has been living right up to the traditions that are associated with his claim to prognostication prominence and day after day the mercury bits the zero mark, sometimes so hard that it almost knocks the bottom out of the tbermometor. Last night, for instance, it sank to a point 17 below. Waterpipes froze up again and about half of the population ordered another ton of coal to tell us that the groundhog is not much of a forecaster at that and yet that he weatherman In Chicago rwbo pays that sundogs don’t forecast cold weather in winter time and storms in the Bummer. He has observed that •cold weather invariably follows sundogs and the brighter the “dogs” the •colder the weather that ensues. He thinks that the weatherman that advises the public contrarily ought to take some primary studies in weather observation. While he was telling us about this a young lady who bad called in to pay her father’s subscription expressed her scepticism about the groundhog, saying that it was cloudy in South Dakota on Feb. 2nd and the groundhog failed to see his shadow and that they had had cold weather there just the same. But it isn’t treating the groundhog fair to bring up these matters against him and it don’t do any particular good either, for the little rascal is this myiute sitting back in his subterranean home smiling in fiendish glee and the coal dealer -has a smile almost as broad. We don’t know much about the sundogs but we're strong for the groundhog, especially this year. “The Best Ever” home made bread, cinnamon loaves, cakes, doughnuts, tye mpd graham bread and Bopton baked beans at Mrs. Green's bakery, order the day before.

Claims Remington Second Largest Corn Shipping Point.

Remington Press. We are compelled to mention a few facts concerning the amount of grain handled by our elevators, to uphold our reputation with our haughty neighboring towns. A careful investigation of the grain statistics of Indiana leads us to believe Remington the second best grain point in the state,, in the number of bushels of oats and corn hapdlcd each year. Several years the two elevators have shipped a million bushels of corn and oats and the average each year is not - far from below these figures. There is, of course, more corn handled than oats as this is a corn country. The indications are that fully 700,000 bushels of corn will be hauled to Remington this year. It Is no uncommoh thing these days to see all the side-tracks in town blocked with fears loaded with corn. We have observed wagons strung out for several blocks, waiting their turns to unload. One of our grain men told the writer that he had bought over 200,000 bushels of corn from January 16th up to Monday night, and over one-half of this amount had been bought the first five days of February. Thousands of bushels were sold the few days that 60 cents per bushel was being paid. A scarcity of cars has caused some delay in the moving of grain. One day last week six shellers were sending corn to one elevator. When it comes to a question of the number of bushels of oats and corn handled, we refuse to our hats off to any town in this part of the state.

Lightning Change Matrimonial Artist in Limelight at Delphi.

Carroll County Citizen. •As a lightning change matrimonial artist, James Coplen, of Flora, and Arkansas, is certainly entitled to the bun. Legal difficulties also slip from his shoulders like water from a duck’s back. Mr. Coplen’s first wife died, pe married again and was divorced, and then he employed Miss Sinks as housekeeper and daring' her-' employment, married a third wife. Miss Sinks brought a breach of promise suit suit against him which was compromised, and later on the suit was reopened and a second compromise was brought about. His third wife brought suit for a divqrce and alimony in the last term of’court, which resulted In a legal separation and $2,000 alimony. On the 'day of the divorce, he married Miss Sinks and started for Arkansas. In regard to the suits by claimants, the SIOO,OOO land suit was continued and the suit brought by the Atkins Saw Co., of Indianapolis, was paid off. James is surely some* prunes as a matrimonial artist and legal aprobat.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1912.

Monticello Beat Rensselaer and Were Crushed by St. Joseph’s.

The liveliest and roughest basketball game ever played in Rensselaer took place Friday afternoon between the Mohticello and Rensselaer high school teams and the visitors were victorious by a score of 20 to 24. Several of the players received rather severe bumps and Schlademan, of the visitors, suffered a bad wrench of one knee, sufficient to put him out of the game. The visitors were further weakened by the absence of their team captain who has a felon on one thumb. To offset his absence from the game, Rensselaer was short both Porter and Robinsqa. The former severely sprained one foot in practice the first of the week and Robinson has been confined at home for several days with a light attack of pneumonia. Both were able to get out to see the game by using a hack, but they looked like the advance guard of a hospital. Their places were taken by Hamilton at center and Padgitt at forward. The first ten minutes of play the teams seemed to be quite evenly matched, although the visitors towered above the local lads in size. The better team work of Monticello soon showed up and they succeeded in scoring four baskets from the field before the home quintette had made any. Ap element of luck figured In the coptest end some of the baskets made by the visitors were rather freakish, while the Rensselaer boys were making sopfe long shots that al-. most counted but caromed outside the basket. The Rensselaer players were making a game fight and as ±be contest proceeded they were wearing their larger adversaries down, but the whistle of the timekeeper blew, before Rensselaer had overcome the lead made by the visitors in the early part of the contest * * The Monticello team was accompanied here by about a half hundred enthusiastic rooters, who established themselves in the north end of the armory aid gave a good exhibition of high school rooting. The Rensselaer lads whose throats have rusted a little sines the football season closed, revived some of the inspiring yells of last fall and got into the game and there was uproarious applause every time some play of special merit was pulled off. It was a good game from the spectator’s standpoint and will doubtless aid materially In getting crowds pt future contests. In the evening the Monticello team went to St. Joseph’s college and played the swift quintette there, but did not make much of a showing, being liberally smothered by the score of 27 to 4, Monticello did not score until near the end of the game when seps&tiopai throws by -Jacks brought two baskets. 7 The line-up of the Rensselaer game follows: ~ Montieello ,Pos.
