Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1909 — Chickens and Jokes and Other Things Tuesday Night. [ARTICLE]

Chickens and Jokes and Other Things Tuesday Night.

John Zehr, of Carpenter township, was the host Tuesday night to as merry a crowd of stags as ever congregated beneath a hospitable roof in Jasper county. Some ten light hearts of Wolcott met a similar number of good feelers from Remington and a half dozen live ones from Rensselaer and made great inroads into John’s ripe spring chickens and other good things. The Rensselaer crowd consised of Chas. Warner, Dan Waymire, Walter Porter, Mose Leopold, Sam Sparling and Dr. Hansen. All are loud in their praise of the Zehr brand of — hospitality.
