Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1907 — Cheer Up. [ARTICLE]

Cheer Up.

This is quire cheering weather, and with the fine appearance of oats and the prospects of a large hay crop, and the fact that much corn has matured in Jasper county in past years that was not planted until after the Ist of June, it looks like everyone ought to be qui e happy. Over at Monticello, the June marrying microbe is working over time and has stung with con nubial desire many a couple since the first of the month. Over here there has been very • little doing, only a license and a half having been issued since ’June Ist. The half was issued to a yuung njan from Wheatfield who came down for a license the first of the week without bringing the bride-to-be along for Clerk Warner to pass judgment upon; so he took the papers back to Wheatfield with him, with instructions to have them filled ont before a notary there and to mail them in. Since then nothing has been heard of the proposition and it commences to look like the prospective groom had been handed a lemon or something of to at sort by the young lady who was to share his name. The optimistic clerk, notwithstanding the dullness thus far, thinks business will pick up with the brightening of the weather and holds to an original estimate that there will be at least four licenses issued this month.
