Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1913 — WALKER TOWNSHIP. [ARTICLE]

WALKER TOWNSHIP.

John Karch has begun his summer’s work for Wes Myze. Mrs. Clarence Hurley is slowly improving, but is yet unable to walk. Miss Grace Hoefgan and Paul Dye spent Sunday with the Karch family. There has been perfect attendance for the past three weeks and so far this week. Township institute will be held at Walker Center Saturday, March 8. Everybody invited. All the teachers from our township attended Teachers’ Association in Rensselaer Friday and Saturday. The box social given by the Oak Grove Sunday school Saturday evening was well attended considering the weather. The program was excellent. The most “taking” part of the program was a play given by Miss Daisy Pettet, Clarence Craig and Elmer Kerns. The amount taken in was $19.36. Miss. Mabel Karch received a two-pound box of chocolates for the most popular young lady in the room, and Guy Meyers departed smoking the pipe which had been given to the largest man.
