Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1915 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 6 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Meek of Indianapolis, came Saturday to visit their son, H. C. Meek and family, of north of town. The latter expects to move to Montana next month where he traded for a farm some time ago. The Democrat is requested by the city peace officers to say that unmuzzled dogs found roaming about the city, will be killed, and it behooves dog owners to see that their dogs are properly muzzled, thus complying with the order of the health officers. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Steward returned Saturday from a week’s pleasant outing at AVaukazoo, Mich., at the Waukazoo Inn, three miles west of Holland. They had a nice trip there, via rail, passing up through the fruit belt, and say that the prospects are fine for a bountiful fruit crop this year. DeVere Zea, 17-year-old sou of Chester Zea, and Mary A. Cooper, 18-year-old daughter of Marion Cooper, both of Rensselaer, were married at 4:20 Monday afternoon at the home of the officiating minister, Rev. Titus. They will begin housekeeping at once in Wo ms over Warner Bros, hardware store. ’ I ncle” Charley Pullins left a stalk of alfalfa at The Democrat office yesterday of the second growth from his field at the west side of town. The first cutting was on June Ist, and this stalk measured 2 7 inches in length, therefore it has grown about 1 % inches per day Since the first cutting. He will cut it for the second time within the next ten days. If there Is plenty o*. rain he will likely get about four cuttings this season, averaging perhaps better than 1 tons to the cutting or six tons to the acre. At S2O per ton, the price alfalfa hay usually sells for here, this is not doing so badly for these “democratic times.”
