Redmen Had a Fine Banquet Monday Night—140 Present.

The Red (Men and Pocahontas banquet Monday evening proved a very enjoyable affair. The bad night probably kept several from attending, especially the members from the country, but there were 140 at the banquet board and of these about fifteen, were invited guests. The evening was enjoyabiy spent in music and speeches. Mrs. J. A. Grant left Saturday for New Orleans, where she will visit for the ensuing month with her sister, Mrs. Caddie Tourne. She got away just a day ahead of the storm and probably suffered no delay on account of snows. Miss Ethel Dyer, domestic science teacher in the Rensselaer schools, spent Saturday and Sunday in Lafayette. Nice Michigan, sand grown potatoes, 90c a bushel in bushel lots. JOHN EGER. H. C. Montay, of Newland, arrived home Sunday from a visit of three weeks in Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. At Fargo there was some 38 below zero weather, while in St. Paul and Wisconsin it was only about 24 below. Rural routes were not carried Monday, that being a legal holiday and it was a fortunate thing for the carriers, who would have found it almost If not entirely impossible to make the rounds. A drift almost three feet in depth across the road this side of the college made ft impossible to get through with an automobile, although some horse rigs are reported to have gone through. In the bright sun there is a little melting today but R is very light. The minimum last night was 5 below and the highest point reached yesterday was 23 above.
