Reception to Church Members Soon to Leave Rensselaer.

The Trinity Methodist Episcopal church gave a reception Monday evening to Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Fell and Mrs. Florence Lee, sister of Mrs. Fell, .who are si on to leave Rensselaer and remove to Mr. Fell’s home near Remington. Several hundred were present, representing all the organizations of the church. A short program was given in the church auditorium, after which Dr. Paul C. Cumick spoke in the highest terms of the splendid services they had rendered to the church. ’ Dr.Cumick said that Mrs. Fell had been like an assistant pastor in her work* ft>r the church. He spoke of her wonderful ability and consecration as an evangelist and church worker. Mr. J. J. Hunt read a series of resolutions for the official board and all the societies of the church, which expressed the deep appreciation in which Mr. and Mrs. Fell were held iMr. Fell has been a member of the official board, Sunday school teacher, officer in the Brotherhood and member of the church choir. Mrs. Fell has been president of the Epworth League, superintendent of the Junior League, president of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society, teacher in the Sunday school, beisdes being prominent in all the other organizations of the church. Mrs. Fell was called upon for remarks and made a most appropriate and beautiful response. The last hour was spent in a social way, while the Ladies Industrial Society served light refreshments. The going away of Mr. and Mrs. Fell and Miss, Lee will be a distinct loss, not only to the Methodist church but -to--all~the-moral - and —religious work of the community, and they will take with them the love and confidence of a large host of personal friends.

The grip situation has cleared up wonderfully during the past few days and the doctors, who had been worked about to the limit for some time, are now getting a little breathing spell. To be sure, thefe’T? still some grip and many cases of bad colds but the worst of the epidemic seems to be over. The funeral of Jerry Karsner is being held this afternoon. Following the request in The Republican of last evening that those who were willing to act as pallbearers offer their services, W. J. Wright, the undertaker, was fairly besieged with offers. He accepted the first six who were Chas. W, Platt, John O’Connor, Roy Blue, W. R. Brown, B. J. Moore and Walter V. Porter. Otis Crandall and wife, who came over from Wadena last week to visit his cousin, Dell Gilson and mother, are still here and Otis is helping overhaul the engine of his Ford auto at the Central Garage. He believes that the St. Louis Browns will have a very strong team the coming year. There will be seven members of the Federate on the team and the best of last year’s Browns. Mr. Crandall appears to be in the very pink of health and his success of last year with the Feds m'ay be duplicated or exceeded this year. He was always one of the best batting pitchers in baseball and while a member of the Giants team was used extensively as a pinch hitter when not pitching. Now is the time to advertise your pure bred poultry and eggs, your seed oats and seed corn and to put on the market those things which are not earning you anything but which may be turned into cash. The Republican furnishes a medium of sale that seldom fails.

for thb Lafayette Wagon Works, is here this week looking after the loading of several cars of wagon material contracted from Louis Whicker.

This course is only given when a sufficient number desiring it form a class.

The month for the building and loan closed yesterday and there were a number who wanted initial membership who came in the last day. There are now about 125 shareholders and the total number of shares exceed 400. It is probable that a number more will come in this month, but they will start a month behind the others and consequently mature a month later. The association has certainly started under the most favorable conditions. - i
