Rensselaer Journal, Volume 11, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 May 1902 — Sharon. [ARTICLE]

Sharon.

Crops look better than for several years past and everything indicates a bountiful harvest. But wait. Matt Heuson and family, of near Rensselaer, visited his brother Wm. at this place. Children’s day exercises will be held at the school house, June Bth. Walter Desbrow was visiting “away down south” last week. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Blake spent Saturday night and Sunday with the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. W. Farmer, Warren Sage, of Newton country, was looking after business interests here last week. Ahem! Well! didn’t that new rubber tire shine Sunday. Dance at Frank Nissius’ Saturday evening. Some report a good time; some don’t. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Pollard spent Sunday in Sharon, the guests of Chas. Daley. From present indications this will be the last communication from Sharon. The mail carrier had orders from the government to cease from his labors May 31st. We trust some one will start here again, for the patrons of the office will miss it greatly it allowed to lapse for good. Mr. Daley has been a faithful and efficient post master and we wish him every success in his new location.
