WELL KNOWN REMINGTON YOUNG MAN IS DEAD.

In the race for life, death won out again Wednesday, when Ernest Rawlings passed away at 'his home near the Christian church at 11 a. m. “Dick,” as he was familiarly known to his associates and the public in general, had been in a gradual decline for the past six months, and of late the failure has been very rapid. Physicians and specialists alike have been unable to cape with the disease, which was in the nature of a kidney trouble, together with enlargement of the heart. (For several years the deceased has conducted the news and cigar store near the postoffice, coming here from Wolcott. Having been a resident here most all of his life, he was known to nearly everyone in this vicinity, who counted him as their friend, and whose sympathy goes out to the sorrowing widow and the two orphaned children. ‘ The funeral will be held this Pndaiy afternoon at 2:30 o clock at the Presbyterian church and burial will be made in the Remington cemetery.
