The supreme court in the case of the state vs. Atkinson, on page 27, decisions of 1894, decides that Memorial Day is only a legal holiday as relates to commercial paper, and that saloons are not required to close on that day. The opinion was delivered by Judge Coffey. The Sunday school ot the Christian church celebrated Children's Day, Sunday evening, June 2, with an excellent program entitled, “The Light of the World.” Each class rendered something appropriate for the occasion. A missionary collection was taken amounting to Rensslaer is approachable at this time on the subject of encouragement for some reliable manufacturing plant.

The G. A. R. members are not feeling good because three of the four saloons did not observe Decoration day as a holiday.

Celebrate the Fourth!

The plans and energy being put forth to celebrate the Fourth will make it the greatest event of the kind ever given in Rensselaer. More money is being raised than at any previous occasion, and the committee have the hearty support of the business men and all other citizens. It will be a hummer. Valparaiso has shown its aristocratic nature in passing an ordinance forbidding the passing of hand bills or other advertising matter on the street, or distributing the same at residences, ft is a species of narrow minded intolerance the popular verdict of every freedom loving community should repudiate. The passing of bills is as legitimate as any other part of a man's business.

What Our Neighbor Has Done.

The following frotn the Winamac Republican is a gentle reminder of what might just as easily be done here; “Late Saturday afternoon the last lots were sold which were needed to guarantee the erection of a wagon factory at this place. So far, Winamac has done her share towards the enterprise. Mr. Roberts was notified at once and in reply says that he will commence work on the buildings in June. People would have laughed at the person who would have propnesied a year ago the march of improvements and 'developments that the town has made since. Winamac started to grow in the midst of hard times when other towns were losing trade and prestige and now that bettertimes have come for the country at large it only needs a continued effort to keep the town growing.” In order to order a machine that is always in order, it is always in order to order a McCormick. sold by C. A. Roberts.
