BURNS TOWN.

Add Shook and family were in Rensselaer Tuesday on business. C. Morgenegg and John Schroer called on Alex Hurley Sunday. Jim Stanley commenced work for Charley Pullins Wednesday. Miss Rubie Gratner is spending a few days with friends in Chicago. Miss Katie Morgenegg called on Bertha and Ethel Holmes Wednesday. Samuel Holmes called on his brother, Wm. Holmes, south of town, Tuesday. The farmers are very busy plowing for wheat at present. The ground is getting very dry. Miss Alma Hellengreen has gone to Michigan to spend a few weeks with her sister, Mrs. Bert Lee. Mrs. Samuel Holmes and Spencer, Esta and Wade called on Mr. and Mrs. Chris Morgenegg Sunday afternoon. T. G. Brown and son, Walter, and Frank Helengreen started for Larimore, N. Dak., Tuesday for a two weeks’ stay. Miss Stella Brown returned home Tuesday from her uncle’s, C. M. Greenlee, where she has been staying for several weeks. We wonder if J. F. Scott, of Ringgold, Texas, still thinks the good old Rensselaer Republican is the only friend he has. It’s a Reformer. Quite a crowd from this locality went to Chicago Sunday, namely; Mr. T. G. Brown and Elmer, Frank, Grover and Stella and Lillie; S. H. Holmes and Bertha and Ethel; Misses Lucy and Katie Morgenegg, Dan Hopkins and J. Stanley.
