Draper, former well known residents of Remington who have be-n living at Hartford City for the past six or eight years, will go to Oklahoma, where they will make their homewith their daughter, Mrs. Jessie Yeoman. As usual there is a scarcity of dwelling houses in Remington, and a number of desirable families who wished to come to Remington have had to locate in other towns because they could not find an empty house in the town. This speaks well for the prosperity of our town, and we haven’t the Gifford railroad, either. In the removal of J. S. Barnes to Frankfort, which took place last week, Remington loses one of her most hustling business men and one who has done as much to bring business to this town as any one who ever lived here, Mr. Barnes had resided in Remington lor 16 years, and for 15 years of this time was engaged in the hay business. He handled large quantities of this product and enjoyed a patronage in the southern states where he was well acquainted, which enabled him to pay prices that competition could not meet. A few years ago he took up grain >n connection with the hay .business and the 52-cent corn speculation caught Jake and his partners as it did thousands of older dealers, and in a fewweeks his little savings were wiped out. This was a severe blow, and the low- price of hay during the past few years having caused many of our former heavy growers to put their lands to other uses, and thus practically ruining the hay business her-, Jake decided to enter something else. He is now ; engaged with the Indiana State Sentinel las traveling solicitor, and is making a first-class agent, we understand. Later on he may take up something in the grain or hay line in some new location. Our best wishes go with him and his excellent family.
