Unfortunately most of them are fall apples and thousands of bushels are being made into cider, fed to the hogs or lie rotting on the ground. Everybody has apples this year, and there is absolutely no sale at all for them. E. J. Duvall and Lew Mustard went to Crown Point Thursday to witness the stake race in which John Duvall had entered Hattie Vest, the former Judge Hanley mare. It was not known Thursday whether the race would be held that day or not, because of the rain and the wet condition of the track, but it was announced that the race would go off Friday, if not on Thursday. A great many automobile tourists have passed through Rensselaer this season, and scarcely a night goes by that there is not from two to half a dozen tourist autos in the garage here, and as there are from two to seven people to the car, they leave quite a little money with the hotel-keeper. The latter, however, is about the only business to benefit, while the damage they do to our stone roads is considerable. . Miss Margaret Pritchett, daughter of Thomas Pritchett, a former resident of this county, was'married at Franklin the first of; the week to Professor Paul Van Riper, Supt. of the Franklin schools at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Oren Parker and Mrs. Frank Parker and granddaughter Marian from here attended the wedding.
