Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 79, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 June 1908 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 5 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Rensselaer quite awhile Sunday evening, the ‘parties all taking supper at the Makeever hour. Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Myer returned this morning from Frankfort, where she had visited her parents while he attended the meetings at Indianapolis of the Indiana Dental Association. Mrs. Korah Daniels and little daughter left this afternoon for Chicago Heights to visit her two sisters and to enjoy a longer visit with her brother, Rev. James Abbott, who !• there. 1 J. L. Babcock is reported to be quite broken down physically at hie home near Parr, and it is probable that he will have to have quite a little rest in order to put him back on his feet again. Attorney Frank Foltz is in Remington today looking after some matters in relation to the settlement of the business affairs of G. G. Garrison, whs has practically failed with his big business in that place, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Perry, of Valparaiso, came here this morning for a short visit with her brother, Louie Mustard, and family. From here they will go to Portland, Oreg., where they expect to make their future home.

Harry Kurrle was visited the latter part of last week by his brother, D. Walter Kurrle, of Philadelphia, and Sunday they started in company with Emery Sellers and one or two other Monticello men for Dorset, Minn., for a two weeks’ outing and fishing trip. The Spitler, Ham, Thompson and Jack Montgomery families made another pleasant automobile trip Sunday, going to Fowler and returning by the way of Goodland and Brook, and spending a pleasant hour at the George Ade farm, where the hospitable author showed them about his grounds and made the visit a most enjoyable one.

R. 8. Dwigglns and wife, of Ontario, Calif., arrived here yesterday for a short visit with Mrs. M. E. Thompson and family and his many old friends and acquaintances in Rensselaer. They will remain here but a few days and will go from here to eastern Ohio to visit relatives of Mrs. Dwigglns’. They will return here probably for a longer visit Rue’Parcells, soon got lonesome after his pals, Leland Jessen and Gaylord McFarland came away, and so he procured a three weeks’ layoff from Lis work at Lemay, Utah, and the company gave him a railroad pass to Chicago and return and be arrived here Sunday evening. At Chicago he met an old friend and was offered a position there which be left on the early train to take. It is probable that he will retauro* to Lemay when his three weeks are up. The Bloomington Pickle Co. has done a great thing for tne farmers in the northern part of Jasper county, and has distributed a large amount of money there each year to pickle raisers. The company is a large concern and is thoroughly reliable and the fact that they promptly disposed of the services of their Newland kraut factory superintendent, Ruble, is proof that they are reliable people and are in the business to stay. A contract to raise pickles for them will be fulfilled to the letter, and farmers will make no mistake to raise pickleg for the Bloomington company, «• Stephen Marlin, the man who was arrested for Cruelty to animals, it being alleged that he beat and abused a balky horse he had until he caused its death, was in town Saturday night and had intended to plead guilty but Squire Irwin had gone to his home before Marlin came in. Marlin told the prosecutor that he was a poor man and that he had a very sick baby at his home, and he admitted that he bad killed the horse because it balked, but It is thought that he was sufficiently penitent for the deed and the fact that he is very poor it would work a great hardship on him to have to pay a fine. And then he is out the horse, which was a six year old animal and not a bad horse except for its balking habit. Considerable mystery still surrounds the identity of “Pplly,” the mother of a recently born Infant Barkley township, and whose advent caused suspension of all telephone business in the northeast section last week, except.to convey the information tkat ‘Polly bad a baby.” Charley Moody is supposed to have bad a hand or a mouth in reporting the birth and the party that wrote to the Republican about it promied to call into the office and explain all about It, but so far no explanations have been made. A young Barkley farmer, whose reputation for truthfulness has never been in doubt, says that he heard that Polly was a jlnney and the property of Charley Moody, but the facts of the case are hard to procure. .An explanation is due from some one. D. M. Worland is justly proud of the fine line of baby carriages and go-carts be is displaying. Look them over before you-buy. Try Hack’s ice cream.
