A heavy rain fell west of town, in Newton and Jordan townships Thursday evening, but only a few drops fell in Rensselaer Yesterterday morning enough rain fell here, however, to lay the duet but not enough to cool the atmosphere any. James H. Keister of Jordan tp., has just completed a fine new barn, and Saturday night it was formally dedicated by one of the biggest dances held in the township for a long time. Over sixty young people were in attendance and enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Harrold of Hammond, visited relatives here a few days this week. Mr. Harrold has bought a small farm in Michigan and expects to engage in poultry and fruit growing, giving up bis position in the Oonkey printing plant because of poor health. Mr. and Mrs. James Walter, north of town, and Miss Anna Conners left yesterday morning for Colorado Springs, Colo., for a few weeks visit with the former’s sisters. They go principally to see if a change of climate benefits their little babe, who is severely afflicted with the asthma.
