REMINGTON

(From The Press) GET MORE ATTRACTIONS So Jar we have not heard a word about*Marion township reaching its quota Tn the last Loan, and a Rensselaer attorney told us that he did not think they were very near to it, the first part of this week. They should engage a few more “Blue Jacket bands,” a few more “tanks” . and a few more ‘ war trains,”-and a few more other attractions, and perhaps they will be able to get enough people into town from out side to help them over the line. We have never seen any outside attractions sent to Carpenter township to help get the goods, and yet, Carpenter is generally the first township in the county to get over the line.- We wonder why? is >n<loubte[Uy due to the heavenly dispoeAMOn and progressive sentiments of £he editor of the Press. He always boosts and never knocks. ' For his relief from the above spasm we might inform him that Marlon township went over so quickly and easily that it was not thought to be of enough importance to mention the fact. The good people ‘of Remington apd Carpenter township must not be judged by their narrow gauged editor whoLwould have everybody in those corporations despise, everybody and everything in Rensselaer and Marion township. Better consult your doctor, brother Bert, there’s something wrong-with your disposition regulator.—Hd.l
