ROSSVILLE TO PLAY OUR H. S. SATURDAY

Team With a “Rep” Coming to Town—Last Home Game—Team Goes to Bloomington Next. Rossville is coming. Rensselaer is making preparations for the big boys with a “rep” for basketball and every lover of that sport will want to witness the contest at the high school gumnasium Saturday evening. The price has been advanced to 25 cents for every one. The net proceeds will be .used in helping to send the Rensselaer team to the state tourney at Bloomington next week Rossville has lost only two games this year and the following record includes most of ther games. Delphi, however, lost two games to Rossville, the score being 53 £o 0 at Rossville and about 27 to 16 at Delphi. Coach Kirk realizes that his guards are'to have a hard task and he is giving them hard work in the* art of defense, also training them for endurance and for aggressive play. It will be a game that will be filled with thrills and as it is to be the last of the season and comes only a few days before the state meet an idea can be formed of Rensselaer’s chance in the big tourney by the result of this game. The following is,Rossville’s record: Rossville 13, Michigantown 5; Rossville 42, Burlington 37; Rossville 104, Michigantown 9; Rossville 46, Colfax 43; Rossville 53, Monitor 10: Rossville 50, Frankfort 9; Rossville 45, Frankfort 17; Rossville 99, Weidner Inst. 6; Rossville 65, Sheridan 6; Rossville 38, Colfax 19; Rossville 53, Delphi 0; Rossville 51, Monitor 7; Rossville 25, Monticello 10. The game Saturday night will be played in the high school gumnasium at 8 p. m. The famous “Midget team” will play a preliminary. Tickets are now on sale for what will probably be the biggest event in the basketball history of Rensselaer. Previous to this time the local high school has never qualified to play a team with the record that the Rossville team has back of them.

Old Father Time Hit—upon a rare I page of his calendar last Friday, Feb. 27th. It was the sixtieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Roy. To commemorate the event in a befitting manner the aged couple had a solemn mass of thanksgiving offered, at which they assisted and at the end of which a special belssing was invoked upon them. Fathet Dire ’honored them with an excellent sermon In Trenefir reminding them of the exceptional privilege which is theirs, in having attained by the grace of God, unto ths wealth of years, and congratu lating them in behalf of all present. Father Henneberger, of Goodland, also assisted in the services. Father Time also exhibited one of his pathetic contrasts, when at the end of the mass the feeble, tottering, aged couple was escorted to the altar by two bloomnig children as attendants, Francis Mathew and Cecilia Lord. And to emphasize his suzeranity from age to age, from genbration to generation he (Father Time) placed five grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Roy as assistants at the altar. After the services in the church an elegant “wedding dinner” was served at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Chas. Sigo, north of town. Many invited friends were present, who all contributed in making the day a happy one; likewise in making Mr. and Mrs. Roy feel quite young again. Ad multos amos.-—Contributed.

Fell conducted the service there Wednesday evening. There were four confessions and a dozen others requested prayer. The meeting is proving one of the boat ever held at Fair Oaks. A meeting at the M.

REMINGTON.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1914.

MONON OFFICIALS GO OVER THE ROAD

A. S. Kent, Chief Engineer, and Others Viewing the Gifford Road and Route. Agent W. H. Beam, on instructions from Monon headquarters, had an automobile at MeCoySburg at 11:15 this Thursday morning to meet passenger train No. 15, which had Chief Engineer A. S. Kent and other officials of the Monon railroad on board. The automobile was to be used in transporting some of the officials over the proposed southern extension of the Gifford road as tar as Wolcott. A train on the Gifford road, in charge of General Manager Frank E. Lewis and Chief Engineer C. J. Hobbs, met the Monon officials at McCoysburg and took them on a tour of inspection of the road from that town to Kersey. Simultaneously George H. Gifford, executor of the estate of the late B. J. Gifibid, and officials of the Monon, are today appearing before the Public Service Commission in Indianapolis to secure the approval of that commission to the sale. There was a previous meeting and there can be no doubt that the commission will approve the transaction. It is now practically assured that the Monon railroad will take over the Gifford road, extend it to the southward, probably starting the construction and improvement work early in the spring. It is not improbable that the southern terminal of this branch will be the coal fields at Brazil. It is also probable that the northern extension will lead west of the present main line of the Monon, connecting with it at or near St. John. The road will be improved and many trains will run over it, especially hrough freight trains. This will make possible even better passenger service than is now furnished by the, Monon road and will be a great factor in the development of the Gifford country and all the land adjacent to'the road. A gentleman conversant with the deal said to a Republican reporter today: ‘The suggestion that the Monon would “junk” the road is preposterous, there was any intention the road owners would have had it purchased quietly by private individuals. The road, as a matter of fact, is just what the Monon needs to handle its growing business and the purchase is in the best of faith and there is no doubt the extensions and improvements will be entered into vigorously just as soon as the deal is consummated.” Born, March 4th, to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith, on the S. B. Holmes farm in Newton township, a daughter. Mrs. Smith is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holmes.

ExMayor Geo. F. Meyers, who has been quite poorly for several weeks, had a severe backset this week and Wednesday it was feared he was in danger of pneumonia, but this seems to have been overcome and today he is somewhat improved. His daughter, Miss Nell Meyers, was called home from Wisconsin University, at Madison, arriving ths morning. Today is considerably wanner than it has been for quite awhile and the sun has shown brightly part of the time, melting the snow rapidly and there is not much of it left. The roads are muddy but have not yet broken through. Things are beginning to look a little springlike and evidently the groundhog has wearied of his labors in carrying out his proclamation of Feb. 2nd. A little warmer weather will now be generally welcomed.
