Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 February 1912 — NEWLAND. [ARTICLE]

NEWLAND.

T. M. Callahan Is in Newland today. Charles and George Martin hauled hay Tuesday. * Bert Williams was a Rensselaer visitor Monday. - Luther and Lizzie Tow spent Sunday with Ernest and Mary Rees. Mrs. Ed Oliver and her hired hand were in Newland Tuesday on business. Grace Daugherty, the Newland school teacher, spent Sunday with home folks. Miss Lottie Stevens, who is working for Newt Kupke, spent Tuesday with her mother, Mrs. Geo. Butch, of Newland. Ernest and Mary Rees returned home Saturday from Lebanon, where they spent about two weeks visiting friends and relatives. Lebanon has a new court house but it isn't any nicer than Rensselaer’s court house, if they did take pattern from it, although Lebanon is quite a good deal larger than Rensselaer in size and population. The friends and neighbors of J. C. Tow gathered at his home Friday evening to remind him of his 50th birthday. They all brought well-filled baskets of supper, of which they heartily partook. The evening was spent in music and games. They departed at a late hour after spending a very enjoyable evening wishing Mr. Tow many more such happy ■ birthdays. There were about 40 present.
