Hurrah for the Remington K. of P’s. Quite a number of farmers in this v icin* ity are done husking corn. Dennis O’Reilly was called to Chicago last Friday by the serious illness of a brother. John G. and John W. Harris and Lex Fisher were in Chicago last week on a horse buying expedition. James B. Irwin has bought the Dobbins property on South Ohio street and will fpove to town next spring. Several of our citizens were called to Rensselaer Monday and Tuesday as witnesses in the various Guy cases. The widow of the late John W, Swan was here recently looking at property and is thinking of locating in Remington. F. S. Willard, for several years clerk in Peck’s drug store, has moved to Sheldon, 111., where he has taken a similar position. John Kettering has sold his fine little ten acre farm just west of town to Reuben Crane, and is thinking of taking a prospecting trip West. The condition of uncle Henry Welsh remains about the same at this writing, and we understand no hopes are entertained for bis recovery. The Democrat’s subscription list is just a-bouming here, and we haven't so bitter a partisan but admits it is by far the best county paper published in northwestern Indiana. The marriage of Mr. Clark Bartee and Miss Verne Broadie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Broadie, is announced to take place Wednesday evening, Nov. 2g. They are both popular young people, and we extend advance congratulations. Robert Parker and Levi Hawkins were were in Logansport last week to confer with some electric railroad promotors who are figuring on a line from Lafayette to Hammond touching Wolcott, Remington and Rensselaer. We believe a line running from Lafayette and touching these towns would be practical and a money maker. Among the Remingtonians who visited the hub Tuesday were: J. D. Alimin, C. H. Peck, Geo. Chappell, W. L. Rich, Robert Parker, Ira W. Yeoman, Albert Taber, J. M. Ott, Royalty, Will Zea, Wm. Townsend, J. W. Phelps, Warner Elmore. James Washburn, Waiter Rich, James Clowry, I. D. Luckey, M.

We wish to congratulate our newly married couple upon their embarkment upon the Sea of Matrimony. May the dove of peace and the eagle of prosperity attend their way. The spirit of matrimony is rampant in these parts and the young marriagabies are scampering to places of safety. If the spirit can’t be tamed we are afraid the young people will all be gobbled up. A large number of the people from this township attended the funeral of Mr. E. T. Biggs at Wheatfield. Mr. Biggs was well known in these parts, having been a former trustee of Kankakee township and until a few years ago, was a resident of this township. In behalf of the people ot Kankakee we extend to the bereaved our heartfelt sympathy. When they tell you that our town is Tefft, you tell them that they are laboring under the canopy of a dark green delusion. Common sense teaches emphatically that in order to change the name of a town they must appeal io the people of the place. Say, if they have the right to thus change D. V. to Tefft, autocratically, they have the right to change our name to King Darius. Thus you see it is a dangerous precedent.
