Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 December 1908 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

John Nichols and John Marlatt went to Chicago this morning to attend the stock show and the dairy show, expecting to divide their time between the two. John is one of our leading dairy farmers, and probably the only one in this section of the state that markets his cream in an automobile. The dairy show, by the way, is one of the most interesting and instructive events pulled off In Chicago each year and deserves the attendance of all who visit the stock show. ’

The first snow of any consequence o/ the season fell early this mqrning, and from 6 o’clock to 7:30 the snow fell thick and fast and it continued to fall after that time, although with less vigor. “Happy” Fletcher cast the first real pleasant smile he has cut loose since the snows of a vear ago, and was out betimes with his snow plow and black nag cleaning off the side walks. The temperature moderated very perceptibly but is stilt cold enough to keep the snow from melting. The road beds are almost perfect and if cold weather follows aS is predicted for Saturday we should have some good sleighing.

Dr. I. M. Washburn and Druggist B. F. Fendig returned on the 11:04 train last night from Longmont, Colo., where they had been since last Saturday, visiting John Paxton and family and looking at the city of Longmont and the surrounding country. "Longmont is a city of about 7,500 people and is a hustling place, although not the county seat They struck there along with a big snow storm that was general throughout the west. The people in Colorado always welcome an early snow storm, considering it an assurance of a fine crop the next year. One of the daily newspapers at Longmont is published by George Johnson, who a great many years ago published the Rensselaer Union. He was also engaged in the newspaper business at Remington at one time. The Rensselaer parties were very favorably impressed with the Colorado city and with as much of the country as they were able to see with the ground covered with snow.
