■■■■■ * Children Cry Bpenry ic ffolCt wife drove' down from DeMotte yesterday afternoon and Mrs. Sparling went to Monon on the milk train to visit their daughter, Mrs. D. E. Fairchild, jr. This is the first time “Uncle” Henry has been here since the 4th of July, 1007, and during the Interval he has suffered a great deal from sciatica rheumatism. He passed his 75th birthday on January 12th in bed, but now he is much improved and is, aside from his rheumatism, a very hearty man.

The Republican has always believed that when a school teacher had an opportunity to better his or her condition they owed it to themselves to do so, even if it did result in some'confusion in selecting his successor during a school term. Thus, during the past three months, Prof. Tillman, thp biology teacher in the Rensselaer schools, had an opportunity to go to a much larger city at a material advance in Baiary. He wanted to go, but feared that it would cause too much trouble here, and decided to remain, thinking he could get the plac? after the school year was out. Now, however, some other teacher has been found and the opportunity is lost The teacher must put so much money and time into the preparation for hi? school work that he can not afford to pass by a chance of improvement even though it mw cause a school board some trouble to find a successor. <3ms£L* Tli KIM Yoi 8m Always Bought , ®» w The sid? stWtts and parkings ini Rensselaer lmve never been kept as clean and free from tall grass and weeds as they should be and as they are in many cities.
