Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 235, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 October 1917 — Now Ho’s the Laughing Stock of Rensselaer. [ARTICLE]

Now Ho’s the Laughing Stock of Rensselaer.

One of Rensselaer’s most prominent citizens, a man who has spent the greater part of his lifetime here, was a caller at The Republican office recently. The talk as usual drifted to the war, from war to the crop conditions of the county and finally to the happenings about Rensselaer.

Montgomery had a new popcorn and peanut machine and was selling the best popcorn and peanuts in the city. Now he’s the laughing stock of the city^—Adv.
