REMINGTON.

(From the Press) - Dr. Rainier and wife were in Chicago a few days the first of the week. Harley Miller has been visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ritenour. Warner Elmore went to Huntington and Andrews, Ind., Thursday to look after business interests. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Elmore motored over from Monticello Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Geier spent Sunday in Reynolds, the guests of his brother and family. Graham Thompson, of Wabash, was shaking hands with Remington friends last Saturday. Douglas Merritt, of Lexington, Ky., is the guest of his brother, Turner Merritt, since Thursday. At one time he lived on the Lamborn farm northwest of town, and also at Goodland. This is his first visit here in 22 years. The Editor is once more at home, having returned last Saturday. He is still very weak, but is getting along nicely.* He is not yet able to be up all of the time, but sits up a little each day. Samuel Bowman, who has been spending the past several months visiting his old home and relatives in Pennsylvania, and friends in New York and Virginia, returned home Tuesday morning. Lloyd, the little twelve year old son of Mrs. Cora Gardner, of southeast of town, was taken ill Saturday night and died Tuesday evening. As the child died of scarlet fever, the funeral was necessarily private, and there was only a short service in the cemetery where interment took place. One of the most laughable Hallowe’en pranks was put up by some Rensselaer girls visiting at one of our Remington homes. The girls rubbed an itch powder on their gloves and coming up town, met and shook hands with some of their boy friends, and—the result may be better imagined than described.
