Many of the neighboring towns are planning Fourth of July celebrations, at which time the returned soldiers of the world war will be honored, but it seems as if Rensselaer and Jasper county are to do nothing in the way of a celebration. If no celebration is held in this county on the 4th something should begone in the way of preparing for a celebration later in the summer. Such inactivity on the part of our community will soon give it a stagnant atmosphere. John I. Gwin has just consumated a deal whereby he again becomes the owner of the property on Cullen street in which he now resides, purchasing the same of the Rio Grande Valley Land company, of Texas. Some time ago Mr. Gwin gave the property as part payment on Texas land which'he bought. When given the opportunity to re-purchase the property at a figure less than what he disposed of it for, Mr. Gwin readily accepted and is the gainer to the value of the lots on which the house stands. The house is the one he built about three years ago and is one of the finest in Rensselaer. Mr. Gwin retains the Texas land and is well pleased with it. *“’Republican classified column gets results.
