go to Huntington to engage in the grocery business. Mr. Sands is well known in Rensselaer and is a young man of excellent qualifications and pleasing personality and well able to discharge the duties of his new position. He came to Rensselaer first as a school teacher and later, after taking a course in the state university, engaged in the practice of law here. He would have been able in time, no doubt, to have established a good practice, but the opening in the bank has caused him to .give up his practice for the present at least. He is county truant officer, and will now resign from that position, and it is probable that the trustees at the January meeting will elect a successor to him. Uncle John Makeever has just had completed at his farm northwest of town a good new house consisting of eight rooms and conveniently supplied with wardrobes, closets, etc. He also had a new barn erected and all the other buildings needed around a well improved farm.

He will not molest his quarters at the Makeever hotel, but expects hereafter to live there only during the winter months. •‘Uncle John” did not inform his wife that he was building the house, and she learned of it for the first time yesterday when he took her there and showed it to her. It is located near the center of his large farm, and his two daughters, Mrs. Stockton and Mrs. Williams each have a section of land adjoining, the former’s lying to the west and the latter’s to the east. He gave them this land last year. As he came to that farm 64 years ago, and has spent so many years there and made much of the opportunities that seemed so limited when he first set foot on Jasper county soil, he naturally wants to spend as much of the evening of life as he can oh the bld farm, and he has built this house solely for the occupation of himself and wife.
