The newspapers of the district are very kindly publishing notices advertising the Golden Jubilee district meeting of the Knights of Pythias lodge to be held at Rensselaer on Feb. 10th, and it is probable that a large numberof Knights will be here for that occasion and Rensselaer lodge will do all in its power to make the reception a pleasant one. Young men will make no mistake in becoming members of this popular order and it is probable that the largest class of pages ever initiated at one time in the county, will take the first degree that evening. The program for the meeting has been completed and a Fpage program is being printed at The Republican office. For 15c we will sell you a package of self-raising pancake or buckwheat flour and a bottle of maple and cane syrup. JOHN EGER. CASTOR IA Fdr Infanta and Children. Ik KM Yh Han Atanp Bngit
