Ernest Wishard is clerking in J. C. Porter & Son’s grocery store. Mis Christine Lundberg, of Chesterton, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. H- V. Weaver. Mr. and Mrs, James T. Randle went to lowa yesterday, for a visit with relatives. A very agreeable drop in the temperature occured Tuesday afternoon. The thermometer fell 20 degrees within an hour. On account of attending Conference Rev. L. E. Conner will not hot preach here next Sunday. Local showers were numerous Monday and Tuesday, and many parts of this county were well rained on. Rensselaer was not one of the favored localities.

J. C. Porter, who has been in poor health for some time past, left for Cameron Springs, yesterday, to try the mad bath treatment. Mrs. Porter left at the same time for Indianapolis, to visit friends. Our townsmah, Ersstus Peacock was again honored by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at Indianapolis Tuesday, being elected to the office of Grand Prelate. He is now well in the line of promotion, and may confidently expect to reach the highest honors in the grand lodge. L. A., Bostwick has just had an engraving made of his excellent map of Rensselaer, of a reduced size of course, and has printed off a large number of copies. It makes a very convenient little map of the town, and yet large enough for all ordinary purposes? Sold for 25 cents. Mesdames C. D. Martin, Ida Randle, and Katie Yeoman, and Misg Eliza Tuteur, attended the grand lodge Rathbone Sisters, at Indianapolis, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Randle who already held a grand lodge office, was honored by a promotion, being elected Grand Protectress. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hinkle, of Knox, were in town yesterday, on the sad errand of the burial of their infant daughter, Ruth, aged about 2 b mouths, whose death occured Tuesday. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon, at the F. W. Baptist church, by Rev. B. F. Ferguson. 5

The June fcstival at the M. E. church, every night this week, except Saturday presents a most excellent program, nnd though so far its patronage has not been quite what its merits entitled it to, yet its popularity is evidently increasing, and, the attendance growing better. Monday night Profs. Wolf and Rumely and Miss Utter furnished delightfulentertainment, with violins piano and zither. Tuesday night the famous Worlds Fair Quartette, of Lafayette, allj lady singers,Jwere the attraction. They had a good audience, and they furnished an evening’s entertainment that its lucky auditors will long remember as one of the best of its kind The Rensselaer Creamery is considerably increasing its out-put of cheese. An excellent quality of Cheese is made, and sold at a rate of 8£ cents a pound, at retail. For the quality of the cheese this is a very low price, and ought to bring the cheese into general consumption in this vicinity. At present prices of butter it will pay the milk producers better to make eheese-thas butter. The town grocers are all expecting to handle this cheese, and our readers are advised to give it a trial. Many will find the Rensselaer cheese as satisfactory as the imported article at twice the price. Grocers in neighboring towns are invited to try handling this cheese. It is all warranted and any not found satisfactory may be returned to the factory.
