Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 January 1919 — NAMES HIS PLACE AFTER HOME STATE [ARTICLE]

NAMES HIS PLACE AFTER HOME STATE

Mr. Leslie, Clark, of Rensselaer, Ind., who is here looking after improvements on ’his plantation, . the dormer Jeff Lea place, four mites from Liberty, has named the place in honor of his home state, and calls it “Indiana Live Oak Farm.’’ There is a beautiful large live oak in the yard, planted by Mr. Lea about twenty-five years ago, and this part of the name was suggested by a sight of the tree. The place is managed by Mr. William Porter, who is assisted by Mr. H. J. Robinson, both of these gentlemen being natives of. the Hoosier state. Mr. Clark, by the way, is a newspaper man, having devoted all of his life to that profession, and farming is only a side issue with him. He is one of the publishers of the Daily and Semi-Weekly Republican at Rensselaer, Ind., and this paper is a welcome visitor at the Tribune office.—Amite County Tribune, Liberty, Miss.
