Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 July 1881 — From Carpenter Township. [ARTICLE]

From Carpenter Township.

As all other parts of the county are reported in our excellent paper I think it high time Carpenter was represented by some one. Farmers happy over as good prospects for crops as we ever nad. What little wheat was left us last spring is well filled, and is gettiUg put up in good shape. I do not propose to tell all about who Mr. took buggy riding, or who is waiting on Miss .. It would seem that a visit or a buggy ride in the north part of the county was second only to a circus. Such things are too common here to make a note of them. If any of our young friends will get married we would be glad to give them a little puff. Mr. J. W. Skover was thrown from his buggy by his horse running away, and was pretty badly hurt, but is getting better. Buggy badly demoralized. Mr. Eckles ft. lying very low with consumption, and certainly cannot live but a few Jojlger. Spencer Hamilton , and Lewis Alter have been on the sick list, but are now better. .. John S. Turner, toir enterprising bachelor friend, is patting up a new barn on his form, four miles north of Remington. John has a good farm in Jordan township* also one in Newton county. . We had a Fourth of July, at Remington, and a real pleasant time, notwithstanding the strong effort made at Rensselaer to take the crowd. Quite a good number were in Remington. Houses were decorated, and, take it all in all, we enjoyed ourselves as well, and were not half as tired, as those who went away. J.

KoncE.— A meeting of the executive committee on Fourth of July arrangements will be held in Capt. Babcock’s office, Friday evening; to transact important business.

F. J. SEARS,

Chairman.

A Great Enterprise.— The Hop Bitters Manufacturing Company is one of Rochester’s greatest business enterprises. Their Hop Bitters have reached a sale beyond all precedent, having from their intrinsic value found their way into almost every household in the land. —[Graphic.
