ANNIVERSARY LAST FRIDAY

Of Great Fake News of the Armistice Signing. Last Friday, Nov. 7, was the anniversary of the celebration of the fake news dispatches that Germany had signed the peace armistice. In Rensselaer and, in fact, almost kll over this country, the celebration of Nov. 7 was more wildly observed than the real armistice day, Nov. 11. Pandemonium reigned everywhere, and at Rensselaer several trips were made by the more enthusiastic ones over to Beaverville, 111., which was then the only oasis within 50 miles of us, and some of the celebrators got gloriously hilarious.
