Rensselaer’s growing store. The first load of hay ever hauled in Jasper county via motor car was brought in by John Walter from southeast Marion the first of the week to W. E. Leek, of the Leek hitch barn. It was hauled in on the Mansfield motor farm truck and there was three-fourths of a ton in the load. With the proper rack for hauling hay the truck would easily handle two to three tons to a load. t' <- , Isaac Saidla brought us in a dozen fine tomatoes Tuesday of a new variety or at least a variety seldom, if ever, seen in'our local markets. They are. a large, smooth, tomato, but are different from those usually seen in that they are a golden yellow in color. Mr, Saidla had three plants of tliis variety in a lot of plants bought in Rensselaer last-spring. In flavor they are rather Superior to the red tomatoes, he thinks. Mrs. H. L. Brown and daughter are spending a few weeks at Palatca, Fla., for the benefit of the latter, who is troubled with hay fever. The doctor received a letter from them yesterday stating that they were well pleased with the country, and that the daughter’s health had improved greatly under the magic effect of the balmy southern atmosphere. Dr. Brown owns a stripe of land, about ten acres, near there, and it is probable that he and Mrs. Brown will have a cottage' erected on it and the latter and little Mary Jane will spend a large part of the winters there in the future.
