Friday’s Oxford Tribune: Mrs. Belle Chancellor, of Remington, and her cousin Mrs. Watson, of near that place, came yesterday to visit the former’s parents, Robert Wood and wife. Mrs. Sarah Bond, an old and well known resident of Remington, died suddenly Tuesday evening from heart disease while sitting in a chair. Mrs. A. Beasley is a daughter of deceased, and she has one son at Oxford, one gt Goodland and one in Chicago. Under the “reduced" rates now in effect on the Pennsylvania lines it costs more to travel than formerly in many instances. For example, no reduction is made for round trip tickets, and the old rate of 20 cents between Remington and Goodland is still in force. The round trip rate to Goodland used to be 35 cents, but now it is 40 cents! The Pennsylvania reduced rates scheme reminds one of Teddy’s trust-busting results.
