SEVEN ARE CALLED.

The local selective board received notice this date, August 9, to have seven men ready for general military duty to leave here semetime within five days after August 26. They are to be sent to Chillicothe, Ohio.

An aeroplane hovered over Remington Monday forenoon and caused intense excitment. It circled the town several times and finally landed in a field just east of Joe Graham’s farm residence, a mile west of town, on the Goodland road. It hadn’t hit the ground yet before dozens of loaded automobiles were on their way west, but the most part of them reached the scene just in time to see the flying machine disappear in the west. It only hesitated long enough to find out where it was before it took wing for familiar ground. It seems that the town of Remington is not located on their maps, and when they get this far they are lost. It’s a new thing just now which everyone wants to see, but a few years hence they will be as thick as automobiles, or nearly so. —Remington Press.
