Sheriff O’Connor Is sending one wagon load of household goods to Knimgn today, one of the Middlecamp boys having come down for it with big hay ladders. The remainder of the household goods will be moved next week. Mr. O’Connor wishes to move during the good weather, remembering the disagreeable conditions that surrounded his coming to Rensselaer from Kniman when he took office four years ago. He had his household goods all loaded then preparatory to starting to Rensselaer when a big snow storm and blizzard came up and delayed him from starting for two days.

In remitting for his Republican C. O. Robinson, of Mitchell, 8. Dak., says: "Enclosed find $3, which will pay me up for another year, so continue the good work, by sending the paper right along. The -Hoosier colony is all enjoying good health and fine weather. Last week we had a few days of cold weather, it run down to as low as 12 below, but the sun shone and there was scarcely any wind, therefore one could hardly realize it was so cold. We have about two Inches of snow but as warm as it is today I think it will all be gone by night. I wish old Rensselaer another happy Christmas and New Year."
