Brook Reporter Comment On Subjects of Interest Here.

Rensselaer is the latest town in the country to talk of an overall factory. Five or six of their representative men were over last Thursday and looked over the Brook plant and watched its operation. It is said that the chances for building a factory in that city are good. A factory of thin kind is good for any town and they will make no mistake by installing one. t -■ George Ade closed down his summer home at this place, Monday, and left for Chicago. Mr. Ade is not certain where he will spend the winter months, and is rather inclined to the opinion that he will stay around the city for some time, but later he may join a cruising party who will take in South America from stem to stern. He would like to make the trip but the eighty day cruise appeals to him as being a little too much of the good thing in one dose. Mick Staton left town Tuesday evening, so he said, to take up his old job of threshing canucks bristles in Alberta. Mick’s move to other climes, and preferably a cold to a hot one, savors on some deep mystery, but according to a tale whispered,Tn our ear by one of the boys with bated breath, Mick had good reason to move his neither appendages faster than on any ball field if he cared to keep a whole hide. When an irate female gets after a male with a six foot shoot xStlpk, then it is time to move pretty durned lively, and that is what Mick done, scat, vampoose. The Knight’s of Pythias are preparing for a big blow-out at Kentland on November 12th when the K. of P. hall will be dedicated.
