Charley Grant brought a small sample of wheat from a field of 20 acres to The Republican last week. The heads are so heavy with the ripe grain that in lifting the small handful one almost thinks there is a rock concealed some place in the heads. Charley’s wheat suffered some from the fly but it is still mighty fine wheat and looks like it might be near the 35-bushel sort. The Indiana Courier of last Friday has the following to say about the Rensselaer band, of which we are all proud: “The Rensselaer band will give a concert in Lowell tomorrow evening. The band is under the management of Prof. Braun, a fine band director, and under his guidance the Rensselaer band is classed as one of the finest musical organizations in northern Indiana. J. H. Hoover has returned from Logansport, where he had the pleasure of meeting his brother-in-law, E. F. Carney, on the occasion of a banquet given by the citizens of Logansport. Mr. Carney is president of the Wabash railroad, his residence being in New Orleans. He was formerly a railroad employe located in Logansport and was on a tour of inspection of the Wabash road when the banquet was given him by his former friends there. The price of wheat has declined and we are giving you the benefit of same. Monogram Flour $1.75; White Star Flour $1.65. Your money back if you want it.—Rowles & Parker. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bellows are entertaining their daughter and son, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Murphy and daughter, Jeanette, of Berwyn; Everett Rockwood, a cousin of Mrs. Bellows, of Indianapolis; Arthus Dunaway, of Chicago, and Miss Etta Dunaway, of Ottawa, 111., cousins of Mrs. Bellows. And for dinner today there came over from Remington Dexter Jones and daughters, Alice and Mrs. ; Pearl Green, of New York City, and Mr. and Mrs. John R.

J. P. Simons has returned home from a visit of six weeks in Kansas, where he visited his nephews, C. H. Wickham and A. B. Simons, formerly of White county. He visited in several counties while there, namely Anthony, Harper, Butler and Cowley and the towns of Winfield, Eldorado, Wellington and Anthony. There was a great wheat crop there but the heavy rains had prevented its harvest and great damage was resulting. He said he believed that near two feet of water fell while he was there. Jhe wheat crop was immense, and it was dead ripe and should have been in the shock. The rain excess extended from Oklahoma to the Mississippi river. Remington Press: Mrs. Geo. Hargreaves and son, Hairy, left Saturday morning for Clifton, 111., where they will visit a few days with her father, Milton Balthis, and other relatives, before going on to Chicago, where they will make their future home. Mrs. Hargreaves has secured a nice cozy five-room flat and will make a home for the boys, Bernard and Max, who are both employed by a rubber company. The former received a good promotion lately, and the latter is taking the same work that Bernard started in with a year ago. The best wishes of all Remington people go with Mrs. Hargreaves and family to their future home. This is quite a queer world and one’s disposition is largely a matter of his feelings. We have often wondered what enjoyment a person got out of life when he wore a grouch from morning till night and just hated every person who had a different view on any proposition from the one he held. We look with pity on the poor soul who imagines he is dealing a death Mow when he orders his paper discontinued. . He must be surprised to see Jt come out regularly thereafter. We would just give a dollar to see a smile come over the face of one of these self-despising citizens. It would fairly rock the world with pleasure if they would get next to themselves, forget the grouch somei day and say something that did not] smack of persimmons and vinegar.
