Mrs. James, whose illness has been mentioned a number of times, has so far recovered that she is able to walk a short distance again. Mrs. George Fa. as and daughters were the guests of Mrs. S. O.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Blake spent part of last week with relatives at El Paso, Illinois. . Mr. and Mrs. Easterday returned home Saturday from a visit with relatives at Templeton, Ind. We understand that Maurice Peck, who recently sold his handsome residence in the north part of town, has purchased a lot near his present residence, the old Terpining property, and will begin the erection of a modern residence at once. Mr. and Mrs. Elza Adison and baby, Mirs. Will Rawlngs and Misses Feme and Cecile Rawlings were in Lafayette on Thursday last.

Miss Edith Little, who has been teaching Colorado the past year, has finished her school work and returned home. Miss Ethel Smalley started Saturday morning for Washington, D.

Among those here for Decoration day, we note Horace Hoover and family, of Lafayette; Bert Brooks and family, of Fowler; John Treanor and family, of Monon, and Hugh Treanor and family, of Wolcott. Charles Roush, of Onward, Ind., ■drove through Monday and took back with him, Tuesday, Mrs. Roush, who had been spending the past week with relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Shairtach visited Mrs. Andrew Neusbaum, who is in a hospital at .Lafayette, Tuesday. Mrs. Neusbaum has been there for the past six weeks, but expects to be removed to her home soon. The Remington school board has made a very acceptable increase in the salaries of the teachers whom it will retain the coming year. The board has added Miss Martha Parker to the list, who will teach the seventh grade next year. James H. Lucas and Ed Burchett bought a farm of 160 acres over north of Seafield a couple of weeks ago of Philip Schott, giving $l5O per acre. They have just disposed of it at $175 an acre, a clear profit of $4,000. This is a neat bunch of money to pick up in a few days, and only shows that there is still money to be made in real estate, even in this section. Dave Bickel, who has been talcing a medical course at Indiana university and at Indianapolis; the past few years, is listed among the university graduates this year, when he will receive the degree of Bachelor of Science on June 11th. He will go to Indianapolis college one more year, after which he hopes to receive his M. D. This is made possible by the great amount of extra work he has been making up during the summer term, over that usually taken by the average student. Mrs. Lee Rush and children, of Windfall, Ind., came Thursday evening for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Luckey, and other relatives here. She reports that her sister, Mrs. Graham, is in very poor health at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Engle were over in Knox county, 111., this week visiting relatives. Mr. Engle hajs- arranged to move onto a farm in that county next spring, which his father recently purchased. Knox county is west of Peoria, 111. Uncle Jacob Thomas is spending a week with Remington people again. He is now employed in a woolen mill a<t Mishawaka, Ind. He says the Maxwells are all at that place, except Gotten* who is out of service now but is employed on some government job up in Maine. F. W. Baer, principal of the 'high school, and Professor Baker, the superintendent, returned to their respective homes Saturday, their duties for the school year having ended. The former goes to Dayton, Ind., and the latter to Kendallville, Ind., where he asserts there are a lot of fish that just need catching the worst way and he has got to get busy at once. He has arranged to take a few of the Remington small boys for an outing at one of the numerous lakes that abound in the neighborhood of his home. No doubt they will have a good, wholesome, jolly time.
