If you want the best flour-made, get a sack of Acme, only >1.50, and guaranteed to be the best or your money refunded.—Rowles & Parker. Whenever you see a man who looks as if he knew how to dress well, the chances are he’s wearing Hart Shaffner & Marx clothes, bought of G. E. Murray Co. Mrs. J. W. Williams and Mrs. Henry Wood accompanied as far as Hammond by the latter’s -son Carl, left yesterday for Bay City, Mich., to attend a branch meeting of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society. T. A. Crockett fell across a ladder which he was carrying at his home in the east part of town Monday, and bruised himself up somewhat, although nothing more serious than severe soreness in the short-ribs where he struck the ladder. Miss Elizabeth Lane returned Thursday from Sioux Falls, So. Dak., where she has been visiting for the past month. She was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. E. E. Pierson of that place, who will visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lane, of Newton tp. C. J. Dean, who returned Monday night from Coats, Kan., says it rained there about all the time he was gone, and that the draught is broken all through that section. It has been very dry through there, yet there is lots of corn that will make 25 bushels to the acre. It would easily have made 50 bushels had a rrfln came early enough. Barney Meinbrook claims to be the champion fisherman among the lot who visited the Kankakee in search of sea-serpents last week. He brought home a pickerel which is reported to have weigned 16 pounds, although a few affidavits would not be out of order as to whether Barney really caught it or bought it; also regarding its actual weight.

Geo- Pumphrey left an ear of corn at The Democrat office Monday that is the largest and finest we have seen for a long time. It is of the white variety; 11 inches long, 10% inches in circumference at ( the largst point, and contains 24 rows of kernels. The cob is reasonably small and is finely filled at the tip. It was grown by Newt. Pumphrey, north of town. ''LThe weather yesterday was not very propituous for the Horse Show. A cold, drizzling rain started in Sunday afternoon and continued all day Monday. Yesterday morning thes air was full of snowflakes—the first of the season—and the mercury was down near the freezing point- It is hoped that warmer weather will come by Thursday, when the Big Show opens. Mr. and Mre. Slyvsiter Gray returned* home a few days ago from an extended visit in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Gray has been absent for the past three months and Mr. Gray joined her about six weeks ago. She visited with her aunt, Miss Mary Friant, of Carmachael, Pa., for some time. When Mr. Gray joined her they visited the following places: New Salem, Belle Vernon, Pittsburg and Union Town, and also spent a day sightseeing in and around the Laurel mountains. Both report having had a very nice trip. The road fund of the city is overdrawn considerably, and up to Monday—when a few loads of crushed stone were placed on the main street—not a dollar of this fund has been expended the last year except for salaries. Our rock streets are in a lamentable condition, full of pitch-holes and mud-holes, yet our city administration 'goes right ahead in spending money prodically for unnecessary purposes. Does Rensselaer need a business administration? Ask yourself the question In all fairness, Mr. Taxpayer, and the answer can only be In the affirmative. , Quite a number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Chas. Patrick Sunday, with well filled baskets, to remind him of his birthday anniversary. Mr. Patrick was herding cattle, and on his return home found the house full of people and a well filled table was spread before him. Those present were; Mr. and Mrs. Will Patrick, Mrs. Chas. Medworth, Mrs. Parish, Misses Anna and Bess Bullis, Edna and John Standish, Mrs. Arthur Putt and baby, Charles Spain, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Standish and baby, and Alric Grey of Goodland, A GUEST.
