Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 November 1915 — A Warm Thanksgiving. [ARTICLE]

A Warm Thanksgiving.

Although the weather bureau had prophecies rain for Thanksgiving, none fell in this immediate vicinity and the day was quite warm, the mercury registering between 60 and 70 degrees all day long. The weather, in fact, was almost a repetition of that of last Thanksgiving and the mercury registered about the same as then. Although last Thanksgiving was less cloudy in the forenoon, quite a high wind prevailed during the afternoon, same as this year. Most of the business houses closed up for the afternoon and except for the football game there was little doing in the city. The football game between the Rensselaer and Kirklin high school teams, was largely attended, and is said to have been one of the best games ever played here. It resulted in a tie, 7 to 7.
