JUNIOR RECEPTION A BRILLIANT SUCCESS

Beautiful Decorations, Fine Music, and Nice Refreshments Make Pleasureable Event The Junior reception to the Senior class was held Wednesday evening and proved one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given in Rensselaer. The class of 1914 had devoted much time to planning the event and the various committees had performed their tasks in an able manner. The decorations were especially attractive. Pennants and banners having the figures of 1913 and 1914, covered the walls, tissue strips festooned the lights that were covered (with Japanese lanterns and transparencies showing the years that the two classes graduate being suspended in the doors. Cozy corners, with pillowed benches, half shielded by curtains and drapery, were in three corners of the large room. Bteween strips of tissue paper extending from the entrance to pedestals on which were blooming flowers. The reception committee lined up up to greet all of the guests, about one .hundred and fifty in number. Refreshments consisting of heartshaped ice cream bricks, cake and mints were served by several of the pretty Junior girls. A grand march followed and then the evening was devoted to dancing. The music was furnished by the Barley orchestra, of Logansport, and was delightfully pleasing. In every respect the reception was a huge success and the Junior class of 1913 has established a record for hospitality that will be difficult to equal in succeeding years.

Letter From an Old-Time Subscriber.

Dixon, S. Dak., May 24, 1913. Editor Republican, Dear Friend: As an old-timer of Jasper county, my mind and heart seems inclined to pen a few lines for the paper that has come to my home ever since I have had a home of my own, which is now 47 years. I presume most of the people in Rensselaer at this time are strangers to me, but the old paths are still familiar tp-me. It is about 65 years since my father, Henry Sayler, loaded his family and what few earthly possessions that belonged to him into a wagon at Marion, Ohio, and started for Indiana, and settled upon a homestead three miles west of Rensselaer. There he built for himself a home, rearing a large family, and remained on the old place Until God called him from labor to reward. Upon the dear old place we boys and girls grew to manhood and womanhood, honorable, of course. No boy or girl could do otherwise raised to reverence God, and respect father and mother, where the subject of this sketch was reared to young manhood, and at the age of 18 enlisted as a soldier in the 48th Indiana Infantry, and served three years and two months in the war of the Rebellion. At the close of the war returned home, and soon thereafter was married to Miss Cornelia Frazee, daughter of John and Marah Frazee, and for the first part of our married life lived on a farm, and continued in that pursuit until Mareh 14, 1886, when God called, and I said, “Here am I, Lord, send me.” Since that time I have been a soldier for Christ, and have been battling sin. I have been pastor of twenty churches and am at present pastor of the Baptist church at Dixon, S. Dak. Since coming to Dakota I have organized six new Baptist churches and was instrumental In erecting three new church buildings. But I begin to feel like the Apostle Paul, I have fought a good fight, first for my country, and second to save men from sin. I am now 69 years old, active and full of energy for my work. Just a word of our beautiful sunny South Dakota. We have a fine, rich country here. Everything looks very promising, and grain is fine this spring.. I iiaveva great desire to visit Rensselaer once more lad think now that my wife and I will be there this fall.

Governor McGovern Tuesday vetoed the bill ordering a referendum in 1914 on the question of extending the ballot to Wisconsin women.

He also argues that affirmative action on suffrage, if a mistake, can never be corrected, while unfavorable action may be corrected at any time,
