About thirty-five members of the order were present and the evening was pleasantly spent, refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake, nuts and coffee being served.

MERCHANTS ALL SAY: “IT WAS A GREAT DAY”

Large Crowd Accepted Invitation of Rensselaer and Spent Thursday In Oar Stores. The first “Market Day” was a great success. It surpassed the most sanguine expectations of its > promoters and all Rensselaer was a real hum of trading industry. So popular were the bargains that were made as leaders that all seemed to strike with about equal popularity and none of the twenty-nine merchants who went into the scheme has a kick coming. On the other hand they are quite enthusiastic and are ready to acknowledge that in union there is strength and are wondering why they have not undertaken a united plan of action long ago. Not only the twentynine who went together to start the ball rolling were pleased but all others enjoyed a big day, the garages, hitchbarns, restaurants and other lines of business had regular Fourth of July business. Some merchants had the largest day they have had in a year and all did a good business, the buying being general and not confined to the specials that were .offered.

Among the people who came here were a number from other towns and from long distances away and there were strange faces among the buyers, people who are not frequently visitors here but who would just as soon come here as any place and who probably will come back after seeing how attractive our stores are at trading places. The free auction sale proved a good drawing card and a number of horses, cows, calves and a lot of machinery and household goods were sold. The auction sales totaled about $3,000. Col. Fred Phillips and Clerk C. G. Spitler donated their services. In addition to the auction sales buyers bought at least 12 head of good horses at the Padgitt livery barn and dealers were well pleased and expressed their willingness to come here each month to attend the sales and thus to couple with the other features of the day a good horse market. - - To make the auction sale a better success a lot should be secured for the sale and this plan may be considered by the Retail Merchants’ Association. So far as we could learn the visitors were as well pleased as -the merchants. The bargains were readily sought after and the stores were besieged with buyers. The crowds were good natured and seemed to have the spirit of the occasion for there was not a discord to mar the pleasures of the day.

Just what the next stunt of the merchants will be is undecided, but there will be something else undertaken right away and it is probable that April will again witness another big market event.

EVANSVILLE YOUNG MEN ON LONG WALK

Reached Renssealer Thursday Enroute to Attend Panama-Pacific International Fair. •—•—<-■ , ' Two young men from Evansville, Wendell R. Phillips and Walter C. Gleason by name, arrived in Rensselaer Thursday enroute to the PanamaPacific International Expoistion at San Francisco. They expect to walk the entire distance. They left Evansville on March Ist, clad in khaki uniforms of the Boy Scout pattern. They were traveling light and about all they had with them was a lot of photo cards of themselves which they are to sell along the way as a means of supporting-themselves. The young men are bright looking chaps and were confident when here that they would be able to cover the entire distance to the Golden Gate on foot. Phillips has worked as a reporter on an Evansville newspaper. They carried letters from Governor . Ralston and Lieutenant-Governor O’Neill, to show that they were genuine and also had several newspaper clippings from along the route of their travels. Wednesday they made 35 miles, which they expect to be about the average when they get well seasoned. Thursday they had made only about 18 miles, having come here from Monon. They have it figured out that it will take about three months to complete the journey. ; v Doubtless the young men will es-> counter s number of pleasing experiences enroute and should be able to make them the basis for an interesting write-up after their return.

Postal Card Shower Kept Norman Warner Very Busy.

Norman Warner almost needed a private secretary to help him with his mail last Monday, March 15th. It was his 82nd birthday and he found out that he was by no means forgotten for the mails brought him 157 postal cards from relatives and friends. Each carried a message of cheer and Mr. Warner and his good wife had a pleasant time as they read the many congratulations that the messages brought to them. Only a short time before they had celebrated their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary and if the cheerful spirit and not the gray hairs is an indication of age, neither can yet. be called “old”. The Republican joins the many who sent them postal cards in cishing that they may enjoy many years of good health and happiness.
