Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 November 1901 — Neverfail Still Never Fails. [ARTICLE]

Neverfail Still Never Fails.

Neverfail school house in Jordan tp., again justified its'name at a social held there Thursday evening, for the benefit of the school library. It was a “peanut” social, but it did’nt do any peanut size of business. The girls brought little sacks of peanuts, with their names in them and .the lads would buy the sacks, with the evening’s partnership with the girl thrown in for good measure. The sacks were sold at auction and some nervy lads would sometimes compete in bidding until the price of a sack would reach a dollar or more. The total net receipts for the evening were $19.60.
