Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 July 1906 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

In spite of the big sale of suits we baa, we still have the choicest and newest styles left. The Ideal. Among the former Rensselaer residents visiting here this week, many of whom were drawn here at this time by ths celebration, are: Mrs. 0. A. Radcliff of Cincinnati; Monroe Banes and son Cecil, and Mr* and Mrs. J. W. Paxton, of South Bend; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Robinson of Benton county; Jas. Spencer of Monticello; Mrs. T. J. Sayler and daughter Florence of Lamar, Colo.; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sbane, Miss Mary Washburn, Miss Nellie Smith, J. E. Kohler and several others from Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Downs of Wichita, Kan; J. D. Babcock of Bluffton; B. F. Coen of Oconto, Wis.; Mrs. Geo. Kimberlin of Siddell, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. George Robinson of Connersville; Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Mauckof Anderson. Commencing July 9th, the rural mail carriers out of Rensselaer, under orders received a few days ago from the postoffice department, will not leave Rensselaer until 8 a. m , instead of 7 as formerly. This, we believe, is a good change, for it will thus give them the milk train mail for distribution over their routes the same day. But another order that is not so good is that requiring them to be back at the postoffice here at 3 p. m., making their trips seven hours long. Unless good roads are provided for the carriers it will be impossible forthem to make their drives within the prescribed time, and some of the carriers will no doubt throw up their jobs when the bad road season begins. It behooves the road supervisors and patrons of the routes to see to it that the roads in their locality are placed in the best possible trim, or they may lose rural delivery altogether.
