Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1905 — NOT VERY COMPLIMENTARY. [ARTICLE]

NOT VERY COMPLIMENTARY.

There is one Brook in this vicinity that has gone dry in spite of the wet weather. It is the town of Brook in Newton county. That bis heretofore been one of the wettest and widest open towns of its size in this region, having four saloons, and they run with but little regard to law and order.—Rensselaer Republican.

Right you are, brother. Now you keep your “Boiler Avenue” females home and we will have a real peaceful town, and some of our married men can get home quite a bit earlier in the evening. —Brook Reporter.
