Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 December 1901 — ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE. [ARTICLE]

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

Marriage licenses: Nov. 30, Isa Whitaker to Maude Brick. Dec. 4, Thomas B. Seelye to Martha M. Zimmerman. —o — We still fail to see any record of “Honest Abe’s” telephone lines having been placed on the “omitted tax duplicate” for 1900 and 1901 in the City of Rensselaer, or for 1901 in Remington and Wheatfield. We trust the tax-ferrets—-who propose to treat everybody alike—will give this matter their early attention, as the case is so clear an “omission” that no longwinded confabs over the matter are necessary. —o — Owing to a large amount of other work and the fact that the commissioners’ docket was in use until yesterday, so that we could not copy the proceedings, we are compelled to postpone a full report of the commissioners’ proceedings until next week. The more important business transacted was the letting of contracts for 8 iron bridges—2 in Newton, lin Milroy, 1 in Jordan, 2 in Walker, 2 in Barkley. A special session will be held Dec. 30 to let contract for 1 in Carpenter also.
