REMINGTON.

Mr. and Mrs. Jmi HamUton have ! recently bought a loit on North Ohio street and intend to build a house as soon as possible. .. ; .—— Caul Griffith’s cottage is nearly completed, so far as the frame work is concerned. , Mrs. Lou Brown, Mrs. Perman Mattox and little son, Frank, and Mrs. Fred Johnson, of Wolcott, were in our town Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. H. Schuyler and the Misses Lydia and Lena Blume, of Wolcott, motored over to enjoy the big time on Wednesday. Dr. was a business Caller in Lafayette Wednesday. Miss Agnes Bickel returned from Logansport; where she had gone to have her tonsils removed and visit with her sister, Mrs. O’Connor, and family. Mrs. Ed Sutherland and son, Marion, who just recently returned frofn France, were Lafayette business callers on Monday. The third big stunt day occurred on Wednesday and although it came, this time at one of the very busiest seasons, the - streets were lined thickly by out of town visitors. The Wolcott band furnished music for the day and the one big feature proved to be the aero'olane, which held everyone’s attention, as well as •it emptied many pocketbooks. Stands were erected ait which the crowd procured refreshments, and boo'.hs which furnished amusements and a merry-go-round for the little ones proved quite entertaining. Pb fact, it was a very enthusiastic crowd which lined our streets. On Wednesday morning the aeroplane arrived and to judge by the trips made in the air you would think the crowd appreciated its coming, Of course. Pete Jordan made the first trip, bu t was compelled to return after a very few minutes, Walter Johnston following on the second trip and going as far as Kenltland to drop some bills. Frances Johnston, Helen O’Riley, Clyde Shand, Dorothy Spencer, Edward Bellows, Dr. Robinson and a good many others enjoyed airy flights. No fancy feats were performed as the pilot was not tax-ing-any chances while carrying passengers. The price for the flights •\vas- fifteen- del lars, —but- everyone seemed to think it was more than worth the price. These planes are worth one thousand dollars, but the government is now selling them at five hundred cash and two young men from Wolcott are reported to have closed a deal for one this morning. Fountain Park booklets are out and the list shows a very fine class of’ entertainments for this season, which ruris from August 16th tc 31st. One of the treats in store for (the music loving public will be the Vitaliis Station Service band, which gives 'only high-class pieces, and they come highly recommended. Another company no one who admires good music should miss is the Philippino orchestra, being the best of its kind in this country. Tor those who desire an intellectual treat there will be an address by Brig. Gen. W. K. Naylor, who was with the American Expeditionary forces abroad. The entire program is made up of splendid talent such as Fountain Park has always been noted for.
