Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 May 1909 — Page 3 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

C. R. Keeran, of Bloomington, 111., was here yesterday in the in&rest of the Illinois Pickle Co., and states that it is the intention of the company to treat Rensselaer mighty good if enough acres can be procured to warrant the erection of a salting station here. Twelve acres were contracted yesterday and the small farmers are taking hold of the proposition very nicely. If there are any who want tp raise pickles they may give their names to either Warren Robinson, Chas. Bowers or John Resh. ’ Lesley .Miller, the young man who has conducted the Mt. Ayr Pilot .with such marked success for the past eighteen months, has decided to leave Mt. .Ayr and engage in the same line of work in a larger place, and temporarily the Pilot is being run by D. E. Noland, pastor of the Mt. Ayr M. E. church, who published the paper this week and issued a very creditable paper. Few towns the size of Mt. Ayr ever had as good a paper as the Pilot has been under Lesley Miller’s management, and no small town is able to keep a young man of his ambition and talent. Wherever he may locate the best wishes of the Republican go with him, and.we feel certain that he is doing the right thing to get into a larger field. Rev. Noland has no thought of giving up the ministry for newspaper work, and is simply running the Pilot for Mr. Miller until the latter can arrange Borne means of disposing of it.
