Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 58, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 March 1918 — ONION KING LOSES CROWN. [ARTICLE]

ONION KING LOSES CROWN.

Alfred Donnelly, reported to be Jasper county’s onion king, was in Indianapolis last week selling onions. He called upon a big wholesale firm and sold them a large shipment of his onions at $3.50 per 100 lbs. He came home and to his close friends confided that he had topped the market, and suggested that all who have onions had better let him sei them as he could make the best deals. The second paragraph of this onion story reads as follows: “Harry Moore, a young high school lad about eighteen years of age, raised onions last year and had the best yield and the finest onions raised in the county. Last week he went to Indianapolis and sold his onions thus beat the famous Onion King 25c on the 100 lbs. It beats all how some of these hustling young fellows can make the old guys look so cheap.

The following who were here to attend the funeral of Mrs. James Donnelly have returned to their homes: Mrs. Lucy Bishop and daughter, to Anderson; Mr. and Mrs. L. Rushton to McCordsville; Harland Marlatt, son and daughter and Mrs. Mary Dechantel to Hammond.
