Mrs. W. S. Coen is in receipt of a letter from her 'sbii, Emerson, stating that he is now on the U. S. S. Hancock, which is stationed at Brooklyn. Emerson had his neck badly injured last fall wh|ie in a football game and for the past two months has been in the hospital, but is able to be out now and was able to go on duty last week. Emerson’s term expires in August, during the latter part of which he will return to his home here. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Fate returned Thursday from their auto trip to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Newport, Ky., and various other cites. They had a delightful trip of more than 900 miles and did not have an accident. They report the roads almost any place as fine, there being smooth roads for auto travel the entire distance. Possibly they are poorer In Jasper county, Clarence said, than in any county passed through on the entire trip. Dave Overly put in an appearance here Monday direct from Saskatchewan, Canada, where he and Carl Gus’tavel have been “roughing it” for the past year. On their last expedition northward they bagged 700 muskrats, many mink and other furry game, to say nothing of four bears —a she bear and three cubs. Carl had the honor of bringing down the she bear, and that when she was making a rush at them on account of the loss of her cubs. He expects to remain in the wilds another winter.-—Monticello Herald. Earle Reynolds returned last evening from Chicago. During the day he saw William B. Austin, who told him that Matle Hopkins, who suffered a fractured leg in the automobile accident of last Sunday, Is getting along rather slowly. She is at the Hahneman hospital. Owing to the fact that she has been a sufferer from rheumatism for a number of years the outcome of the accident is somewhat in doubt Mrs. /Austin is also at Hie Hahneman hospital, suffering from the shock of the accident and possibly her spine was injured. Mr. Austin, himself was but slightly injured and is able to be up and to attend to his manifold business'duties.

Rensseler Is not ‘the only town where people scrap. Over at Morocco Wednesday morning hr. C. E. Triplett, Jr., and J. M. Padgltt, two powerful men, had an altercation over the employment of a farm hand. The Courier says that "neckties, buttons, broken eyeglasses, watch chains, fountain pens, pieces of torn shirts, etc., strewed the scene of the conflict and that lacerated faces and flowing gore showed that something had occurred to mar the peace and tranquility of the place." Evidently Dr. Triplett whs the aggressor, for he was fined, but the fine and costs amounted to only v |s, which the Courier considers quite insignificant

William Lee, the school teacher, has decided to give up pedagogy for farming and will occupy the farm owned by his mother near Markle, Ind., and is now packing his household furniture for removal to that place. Mr. Lee made many friends during his residence here and all wish him abundant success in his 1 new occupation, which is not new either, by any means, as he was raised on a farm, but had given it up to engage in school teaching. He will be able to carry into his farm work a great amount of intelligence and experience that should make him h better fanner than he would ever have been without the Induing in the school room both as pupil and teacher. His Rensselaer friends and all who knew his family win wish him abundant success in his new occupation.
