Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 October 1903 — INDEPENDENCE. [ARTICLE]

INDEPENDENCE.

Some rain at this writing. Horace Daniels went to Rensselaer Saturday. Miss Flov Williams spent Sunday at Mr. Torbit’s. Bruce Caster of near Gifford station, was seen in these parts Tuesday. We understand F. M. Hayes will close his sorghum business soon. There is a shortage of cane this season. Dredge No. I vs coming down the oid channel again. We understand Gifford has changed bosses on it. The onion season is here. The melodorious odor comes drifting over the country and has the effect of sixty per cent dynamite on some of the people. It seems as though Will Nuss would get tired of working the roads. By the looks of his driving horse he will have to quit by the time fall rains begin or get another. Say, Will, the mud will get pretty deep this winter.
