Everybody, ladies ana gentlemen, are invited to meet at the court room in the Odd Fellows block, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 2, to organize a “Congress” for Rensselaer.

The model constitution and by-laws of the State League were adopted and the league here becomes a part of the state organization. The large number of members with which the organization starts is' very gratifying and insures its success. It is hoped that all our citizens, who favor purity in politics and the enforcement of all our laws, will become members of this organization, which is destined to do so much for our town and community. The permanent officers are: Pres., J. F. Warren, V. P., I. B. Washburn, s Sec’y., J. L. Brady, Treas., H. P. Overton. Death of Sirs. E. 1. Wilcoac. Thanksgiving day witnessed the funeral of Mrs. E. I. Wilcox, wife of George M. Wilcox, who died at her home at Surrey on the morning of Nov. 25th. She leaves a baby one week old, which has been adopted by a relative. The funeral occurred from the F.
