Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 September 1901 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

John Kimble was down from Gifford yesterday. Geo. Besse of Remington, was in the city yesterday. Miss Telie Lynn, of Attica, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. H. Parkinson. Mrs. Sarah Platt and children are visiting relatives and friends near Goodland. We understand the Lafayette' carnival “boom” train will be here next Thursday. If you need Life Insurance, call on Bruner & Randle. Forsythe Block, Room 7. By the way, we haven’t seen anything of that Gifford railroad coming into Rensselaer yet. Mrs. John Lawn of lowa, who has been visiting relatives here returned to Chicago to day. Charles F. Fisher of Carpenter tp., has been spending the week with his son, A. B. Fisher, near Aix.

Powell, the Brook terror, is again in jail here for loading up on booze and running his family out of the house. If you want elegantly printed calling cards, almost equal to engraved, at the price others charge for poorly printed ones, come to The Democrat office. Jesse Nichols, who is suffering with lung trouble, loft yesterday for Cripple Creek, Colo., where his sister. Mrs. Coons, resides, hoping the climate will prove beneficial to his health. A class of men I can’t understand, says an exchange, is the fellow who is “justas good as gold”but who manages to carry the “gold” around in his pocket when he owes it to you. He is good for it but what good does the money do you? You may have to pay your bills every month; he gets mad if you try to collect from him once a year because he's “good for it,” don't vou know.

The Shrimplin vsJndy A-Wood case for $25,000 damages, will be tried next week at Williamsport. Shrimplin resides in Walker tp., this county, and the trouble originated over the taking of some property from him forcibly on chattel mortgage, in which Mrs. Shrimplin was severely injured from being kicked, as alleged, by the defendants or their agent. Other damage cases will also be brought, we understand, as soon as this one is disposed of.

The executive committee of the Jasper County Teacher’s Association met Thursday afternoon to arrange a program for the next annual session. The committee discussed the advisability of joining with White county and if possible Newton, in an association instead of holding one for Jasper county teachers only. The committee thought such a step without the consent of the teaching body not advisable, so instructed the president to correspond with instructors and conduct the association similiar to that held last year.

It is rumored that the city council is thinking seriously of passing an anti-bicycle-sidewalk ordinance. It is certainly about time something was done in this line. We never see a bicycle upon the streets of Rensselaer any more, all the riding being done upon the sidewalks. At least ninety per cent, of the people of this city do not ride wheels at all and it would seem that the rights of these people should be recognized by the city officials. If nothing else is done, we would suggest that the expensive cement walks which the property owners have paid for be dedicated to the few who ride wheels, and a couple of feet of space in the gutter be kept sacred to the vast number of those who walk.
