Judge C. W. Hanley and Attorney A. Halleck and their families returned home Saturday evening from a two weeks’ auto trip which took them through three states. Their first point was the Shades, at Crawford'sville, where they pitched camp the first night out. From there many points of interest were visited, Wyandotte Cave, Mammoth Cave, Lincoln’s birthplace, Boone’s grave, Clay’s home, and many other points rich in historic lore. Not much trouble, which some times proves the bane of the autoist’s existence, was encountered and the entire party returned in the best of health and spirits. This is an annual event with the two families, the trip last year being up through the northwest. They were glad-to return to good old Rensselaer, however, and traveled over 200 miles Saturday in order to be home Sunday.

<s ole Peterson”, the great comedy drama, will be at Ellis’ opera house on Thursday and Saturday evenings of this week. This great comedy is proclaimed by press to be the greatest laughing success on the road today. The story tells of a young man fresh from the old country, becoming Americanized. He goes down in Kentucky and there falls in love with a little unsophisticated mountain lass. His obstacles to win her affection are numerous and his efforts to overcome them and court her in the conventional way is the opening for one long continuous laugh. Roy Lewis as the inimitable Ole creates one effacious, jocular character one will never forget. He will live forever in the memory of those who enjoy a good laugh. Days of melodrama and the “weeping drama” are over. There are enough tears and sorrows in life without going to the theatre to see more. Come and see Ole and laugh. He comes guaranteed to give you the heartiest laughs you have had. in years. Coming to opera house with his big -band and orchestra on Thursday and Saturday, August 27th and 29th.
