Secretary of I. O. O. F. Lodge at Age of Ninety.

O. R. Parker left yesterday -with several Lafayette men on a trip to Texas, not with the intention of making an investment, but just taking advantage of the opportunity for a pleasant winter trip while temporarily out of business. C. W. Spencer, who lived for about three years on the former Eisele -farm, south of town, which he recently sold, has rented Miss Mary Goetz’s 10-acre tract near the ball park. Mrs. A. C. Scott and daughters, who now live there, will come “th Rensselaer, having bought the property formerly owned by Mrs. Florence Peacock, on River street.

The Republican today contains the announcements of several who will seek the republican nomination tor county office. The list shows worthy, well qualified men of the highest integrity, and it is safe to say that the plan of former years will be followed, by the convention that meets here on March 30th, namely, the nomination of the best possible men for office. Voters should attend tb© primary on March 28th and send delegates who will support their choices at the convention to be held in Rensselaer on Monday, March 30th. Any others who may think of asking nominations should send in their announcements without delay.
