Mr. and Mrs. Tom Crockett were Visited Sunday by their daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Perrigo and father and brother, who drove over from Morocco. Mrs. J. J. Montgomery has returned from a visit with her mother and sister at Rockfield, 111., her brother at Jamesville, Wis.,/tnd another brother in Englewood. She was away about two weeks. Col. Andy Nagle and Merl fiurgett, of Chalmers, came here this morning to attend the Roy Johnson sale, north of town. There is a shortage of good dairy cows near Chalmers and they thought they might buy a few head. Ernest Speaks is planning to go to Idaho soon with his brother, Carl, who returned here recently after an absence of almost seven years. Carl has been located at St. Anthony, Idaho, for some time and Ernest will probably go there and may engage ni the cement business, at which he has been working here.

M. W. Coppess and son, of Gillam township, were in Rensselaer yesterday showing pictures of the 2-headed calf recently born on his farm. The calf is getting along very well, though possibly not growing quite so fast as a normal calf. It nurses a bottle, and eats as well with one mouth as with the other. Mr. Coppess has decided to exhibit the calf in Rensselaer next Saturday. ' The moral tone of a community is lowered and any respectable neighborhood incensed when a man and woman, unmarried, live under the same roof and brazenly ignore the sentiment of the people of a city. Jf there is any pase of this kind in Rensselaer, and rumor says there is, the spare themselves later disgrace by quietly bringing to a close theii* clandestine relations. / Of course, there is always a Tot of talk, sometimes all talk, and perhaps this is a case of t™ kind. Let us hope so.
