REMINGTON.

Remington Press. Mts. Ad Jones, of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is visiting her sister, Mrs. E. N. Rawlings, this week. Miss Chrystine Foster returned Saturday from several weeks’ stay in Chicago. About fifty members of the Shonkwiler family, of Raub, came over Sunday, and enjoyed a picnic with the Washiburn family, of this place, at the Park. A jolly good time is reported. Mir. and Mrs. LeVi Whitmoyer and 90ns, of Noblesville, spent from Saturday until Tuesday with her father, Mr. Robert Irwin. Mr. Jay May came down town Tuesday morning with his arm in a sling. We accused him of just getting back from the front, but he insists that heetangled his feet up in a wire Monday, and when he fell, dislocated his shoulder. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Dick and little daughter, Ellen Louise, of Watseka, 111., accompanied )by Mrs. V. M. Beal and daughter, Ida, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G. Beal and little daughter, Marceline Parks, were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ira J. Grant, three • miles south of Winamac. Several of the fellows about town have been going to the country every night and shocking oats that were cut that day. About two hours work by these volunteer gangs would shock up all the-oats that were cut that day, and the flUows say they felt as good doing that as if they had staied at home trying to sleep with the mercury at high tide. The farmers are undoubtedly grateful for this “lift” and that is what makes the fellows work all the harder, knowing that the ones they are thus helping appreciate their kindness. It is the proper spirit, boys, during these perilous times, and is certainly to be commended. The boys in the trenches, facing Hun gas and bullets, would ibe with you to the last shock —go to it. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schafer, of south of town, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. J. Mercle, of southeast of town, are rejoicing oyer the arrival of a daughter at their home Tuesday. It is a good thing that we can’t read each other’s minds. If we could the county clerk wouldn’t sell one marriage license a month.

Miss Hazel Gray, who has been visiting relatives at Round forest and Sunneman, 111. for the past ten day, returned home Wednesday. Mr. John Stokes has returned from the Marion Soldiers Home, and will spend the summer here. He has not been well for some time now. Misses Frances Field, of Goodland, and Helen O’Riley and Dorothy Spencer, of Remington, returned home this Thursday morning, after a week spent at Broad Ripple, Ind. The condition of Mrs. Will Ott, who has been in the Jasper, county hospital for over a week, remains much, the same. She is in quite a serious condition from nervous

trouble. Nicholas Stowe, after a visit with John Zimmerm'an and family, returned to his home in Kentlpnd Wednesday night going via John’s tin Lizzie. * The Kentland band in their concert Wednesday night, rendered some exceedingly pretty and well received selections. The streets were packed on both sides with automobiles and some places were three deep. It was a good turn-out. Miss Irene Mann, who was taken sick Thursday last with appendicitis, is in the city hospital at Indianapolis. An examination with X-rays will be made to determine if an operation will be necessary today.

H. H. Walker and wife accompanied their daughter, Mrs. James Bell, to Goodland Wednesday evening, leaving there Thursday morning for Winnipeg, Canada, to spend the summer with their daughter, Mrs. Dudley Dingle and family. A big bunch of local singers gave us a mighty fine concert on the band wagon Wednesday night. This kind of entertainment is taking the place of band concerts in many localities and to our way of thinking beats the rand a city block.
