Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 May 1903 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 5 [ADVERTISEMENT]

The famous Moses Fowler Chase case has been sent to Benton county on change of venue. Young Chase is now at the home of Lee Dinwiddie, a Fowler attorney, Judge Hammond,formerly of this city, is a prominent attorney for young Chase. A search warrant was issued by Squire Irwin yesterday on complaint of Conrad Schaffer. It seems Schaffer had reserved a room in the house on the farm in Jordan tp., which he formerly worked, or owned, and had some household goods stored therein. He now finds the room has been entered and several dollars worth of the goods taken. The Fourth Quarterly Meeting of the Parr, Mission will be held at Dewdrop church, 3£ miles north of Gifford, beginning June 6th, 2p. m. Services that evening at 7:30; Sabbath morning, 10:30, and also at 2 p. m., June 7th; and at Gifford at 4 p. m., on the same day. O. P. Cooper, Presiding Elder. L. Byrd, Pastor.

The Democrat was in error last week in saving that H. M. Shipman would have home-grown strawberries on the market Monday. R. P. Benjamin had the first strawberries on the market. Mr. Shipman’s crop is practically a total failure this season, and he will have none to bring to town at all, we are informed. All our growers will have short crops this season.

?CThe Democrat presents its readers this week with a humorous cartoon on the late small-pox scare in Rensselaer, depicting some of the actual as well as some of the imaginary scenes and occurrences of those “trying times.” The cartoon is the work of Fred Irwin of this city, a son of exCounty Clerk James F. Irwin, and exhibits an nnusal degree of skill for an amateur. 4Jn fact, so much that we think the young man should cultivate . his talents in this line and give his whole attention to cartoon work. Should he do so there is little question but he would make a name for himself in the ranks of newspaper artists. Ms. J. C. Harris, cashier of the Rensselaer Bank, has broke ground for a handsome new eight room residence on South Division street, just south of and on the grounds of the Harris homestead at the east end of Washington The structure will he full two stories and basement, with all the modern improvements, includingfuruace heat, etc. It will be brick veneer and handsomely finished throughout. The old bam in the rear will be torn away and a new one erected further south and on the east side of the lots. Work on the new house will be pushed right along to completion when, it is confidently expected, Joe will follow the . example set by some other of Rensselaer’s old bachelors, and become a benedict.
