Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 110, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1909 — Page 6 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

N. Littlefield and family moved yesterday into their fine new home on Cullen street. Yesterday Barney Minebrook, Henry Haag, John w Holder and Ab. Dewey went to the Kankakee to spend the week fishing and they were joined this morning by Will Morris, Harry Gallaher and wife, James Fleming and John Kohlhoff. They have a big new tent, lots of covers and expect to have a fine time. C. J. Dean received word yesterday that his father, Eli Dean, was very low at his home in Coats, Kans., and he left for that place on the 3:17 train. From t£e tone of the telegram calling him there it is thought that death is certain to ensue. Mr. Dean is past 80 years of age and lived in this county for a number of years. H. W. O’Neal returned to his home in Jennings county this morning, after having completed the sale of his 200 acre farm 2 miles northwest of Parr to A. Sawn, of Hope, Ind. The deal was engineered k by W.L. Wood, who found a buyer soon after advertising it in the Republican. The price paid was SBO per acre. Mr. Sawn will probably occupy it. J. A. Teter was in town from Carpenter yesterday. He reports that he purchased 160 acres of land near Gilby, in Grand Forks county, N. Dak., while out there recently and that he will move there some- time this winter. Gilby is in the wheat growing district, about 18 miles from Larimore, where so many other Jasper county people have located.

Mr. and Mrs. S.. M. Laßue and son, Ray, decided yesterday to accompany Emmet on his trip to Colorado and to change their original plan and go first to Moline, Kans., to visit Mrs. Laßue’s brother, Charley Morris. From there they will go to Boulder, Colo., and see Emmet installed in good quarters before starting back home. They went to Chicago this morning and all will start on the western trip from that city tonight. Mel had not yet opened up his Roselawn store and will not have it opened until after his return. The county Stone crusher, which has been stationed back of the mill for a long time, was incapacitated by a break in the main rock cylinder yesterday and a delay for repairs occasioned. The rock in that section is about all used up and as many property owners are using the rock along their river line, the crusher is not apt to find any more near there. When leveled off the property owners get from 12 to 25 feet additional property and if covered with a light surface of soil and seeded it can be made into a nice lawn within a short time. Several land prospectors left this morning for North Dakota. Among them were Edvyard and John Tanner, the latter having already bought a half section nine miles south of Sheldon, in Ransom county. He will move there this winter or in the spring. He has been living on the William Washburn farm in Jordan township. W. M. Gaffield, the land agent, also made a trip to the northwest again, and J. A. May and F. W. Miles, of near Wolcott, took the train here for Devils Lake, N. Dak. A number of others, largely from near Remington and Wolcott, are said to have gone to Chicago via the Pennsylvania and to havqjgjt forjtje nprjhwe?t frqm there, in company with land agente. ~
