Jasper County Gleanings NEWS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.

Attorneys Guy and Yeoman and C. T. Denham were Rensselaer goers Tuesday. Miss Lilly Pfrimmer of Kentland, was the guest of Miss Myrtle Hand a few days last week. Mr. and Mrs. John Kettering went to Pullman, Wash., last week on a prospecting expedition. Mrs. Geo. Stoudt returned a few dats ago from a ten days visit at Logansport, Flora an 1 Camden, F. L. Peck is the owner of a fine Shetland ponv brood mare, recently purchased of an Illinois breeder. At this writing uncle Henry Welsh is still alive, although his condition is not improved any, we are informed. George Stoudt has been in Logansport the past week papering a large new house for his sister-in-law, Mrs. Legg. J. H. Whitehead and Bert Cowgill represented the local I. 0. O. F., lodge at the state meeting at Indianapolis last week. A. P. Fisher has rented his house here to Ed Sutherland for the winter, and with his wife will visit with their children. There was a slight change in time of trains on this division of the Panhandle Sunday. See corrected time card at the head of this column. A. J. Bellows and J. W. Phelps were Rensselaer goers Monday. Mr. Bellows will move to Rensselaer if he can rent or buy a suitable residence property. Fred Love was seriously injured last Wednesday by his horse running away, while coming to town, and striking a tree near John Porter's, throwing Fred out against a tree and breaking his shoulder. The hearing in the injunction case of Remington against the Panhandle railroad company came up before Judge Hanley at Rensselaer Tuesday. The court reserved bis decision but will render same during the present term, he stated. “The Union Depot" given here last Thursday night by the O. E. S., under the management of Miss Margaret McCullough, was a great success and the gross receipts were $104.30. The lodge netted about SSO, Miss McCullough went from here to Winamac, where she put on the same play this week. Remington makes a very good showing tor a "dry town” in Abe amount of business done in its postoffice for the last fiscal year, as shown in the government statement iuit made nublir Th*

gross receipts of the postoffice here was $3,179.18, against §2,442.16 for "wet” Wolcott; $2,203.37 for "wet" Morocco; >3- , 73 12 i J or "wet'’ Kentland; $2,33378 tor “wet'' Monon; and 53,171.05 for "wet’’ Brookston. Some of the above towns are considerably larger than Remington too. Looks as if the reports that have been given out that everybody had quit coming to Remington to trade because they couldn't fill up with booze, and that scores ot farmers bad changed their postoffice business for the same reason, was slightly inaccurate, doesn't it? Remington is all right, and is better off to-day, in many ways, because she is "dry ’ and is likely to remain so because the people want it.

The football game that was talked of to take place here Friday between Parr and Fair Oaks, turned out to be a general jubilee for the schools. Jumping and running races and a great deal of howling was indulged in. We are in favor of sports but when it comes to such as was carried on Friday, we draw a line. There was quite a bit of bitter feeling between the two places tor some time, and this little exercise will have a tendency to make it worse instead of better. Parr run in a2O year old man to run against our 15 year old boy, hence his defeat. It is very evident that if they will put up a boy of equal age with ours they will be scooped. They tried to run in a 22 year old man but was ruled out. While they were giving the war whoop, one of Parr’s hair-lipped youths let his proboscis come in contact with the back of the hand of one of the Fair Oaks' fair sex, which made the blood fly, but luckily there were no arrests made.
