Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 296, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 December 1919 — TEFFT. [ARTICLE]

TEFFT.

Those attending the live stock show were: Mr. and Mrs. Duggleby, Charles Howard Duggleby, William Jasperson and Ed Albin. They all report having had a good time and seeing one of the best shows that was ever held in Chicago, the corn show alone being well worth one’s time. One ear of corn on exhibition was thirty-seven inches long. Some ear, I think! It was grown in Indiana, which speaks will for the state. Miss Lottie Porter and Miss Delehanty took the train for South Bend to do some shopping. Paul W. Ashby lit out for Rensselaer and returned Saturday night. These flying trips don’t agree with some people, as he was not feeling well all day Sunday. You 'can get your wife, your sweetheart, just the kind of a Christmas present she should have at Fendig’s drug store. Jerry Maloney and Art Anderson have got two new girls. . Saturday night they were seen going east and we can guess who they were for the telephone central was hard to get. How about it, boys? George Goard is home again and for the good of the community and to save coal has offered to buzz all the wood free of charge. All you have to pay for is gab and oil. Boys, don’t give him any rest, for he doesn’t get these working notions very often. How about it, Goar? Henry Tressmer is going to get married soon, as he is wearing an engagement ring. He thinks we did not notice it, but someone spilled the beans. How soon, Henry? Duggleby received a letter from Sam Togie, the lad who lost a leg a few weeks ago at Tefft. He wishes to thank all the kind people who helped the three of them. Many rumors have been afloat that the township would have to pay the bills, but they arte not so as the father of the lad paid every bill, thereby relieving the trustee from using any of the township’s money- Too bad for the boys, but they are all feeling fine now and will stay at home after this, no doubt. The people who lost their bonds are cheering up now, but the fellow who has lots of hogs is in the same fix as the people who lost their bonds—pulling a long face! Feeding >1.30 corn to 12c hogs, how much will he lose? Someone guess. You can’t do it! Guess.
