Mrs. Fannie Sehring has returned from Oklahoma City, Okla,, where she has been spending the winter. The timbers under the watertank need repairing and the work will be done as soon as help can be secured. Mrs. Clyde Reeves and children are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Leave), in Wabash county, at present writing. The Rhoades vs. Geier verdict must be unsatisfactory to both parties, who are each out considerable good money on the case. John Sullivan, who got his arm cut off a few years ago while attempting to jump a train near Hammond, now has a new artificial arm. The Remington Commercial Club at its meeting last Thursday evening elected the following officers: Pres., C. H. Peck; Vice Pres., Jas. A. Washburn; Sec.. F. L, Griffin; Treas. H. R. Church, Ex. Cbm. Robt. Parker, T. J. Harnngton, F. A. Hicks, Samuel Bowman and Ellis Jon ey, ' _ Wolcott Enterprise: It is learned here that W. L. Gumm of Remington, has purchased the old Dr. Maxwell property in the south part of that town and will make some very important improvements. The place is ripe for one artistically inclined to transform into a most beautiful home and Mr. Gumm will do this. Toaidhim.be will employ a landscape gardner from Chicago. S The marriage of Mr. Napoleon Sigo, ton of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Sigo, and . Miss Lillian Lattimore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Lattimore, took place last week, Wednesday, at the Catholic church in Goodland, Rev. Father Zircher performing the ceremony The newly wedded pair are well and favorably known to Democrat readers in this vicinity who will unite with your correspondent in extending congratulations. They begin housekeeping at once on the John Hoops farm, southeast of town. Benton Review: Theodore Hoss brought to town Monday and sold what he thinks is about the best team ever sold in this market. Hershberger, the Remington horse buyer, got the team and gave Mr. Hoss a check good for ssoo, at least. The team weighed 3400 pounds and there were no marks or olemisbes on either horse. That is realizing that there is no cause for alarm that the automobile will supersede the horse, either for driving or draft. It costs no more to raise two good horses than it does two poor ones.

Four Corners Veterniary Rawlston of Owen county, a relative of the Neiers, is in this locality now on business. Mr, and Mrs. Perry Hodge of Walker tp.,bave a little daughter that is dangerously sick with pneumonia. Win. Fitzgerald's little daughter is quite sick with pneumonia and is in the care of Dr. Sol t of San Pierre. Winter has disappeared and spring is here. The farmers may now sow their oats and prepare their land for corn. No one has had the nerve to say they ever saw such a spring. No, not even in the sixties, but we have not yet heard from Kankakee tp. The sign of the horseshoe, as a token of peace, ’Or the shoeing of a horse the indication of a truce, is as great a fake as the groundhog saying. C. B, Roach passed through Tefft Sunday with a team he purchased near Francesville for some Porter Co. men. The price paid was S4&O- It pays to raise good horses. A. C. Asher came from Owen county the last of the week in company with a jack. Well, bow politics do change one's associates. Wonder if Love will let us have the jack to do the braying in the next campaign. \ We are pleased to know that Kankakee tp„ has the honor of being represented on correspondent staff of an Indianapolis paper, but from some cause the name ;of the paper was not mentioned. The communication carried the ear-marks of a local correspondent of long standing. The Wheatfield schools closed Tuesday with a grand feast. > Prof. Owens has been instrumental in making the ist years work of the High School a success. The knowledge be now has of the students and the people here place him as first choice for next year, and we trust he will again be placed in charge.

The good ladies of Wheatfield do not need to ask anyone should they desire to organize, but they have concluded that it is impossible to cheat the Lord out of aiack-pot or the devil out of bis just dues. The gambling will go with its twin brother, the saloon, and the ladies will look to something that will elevate rather than degrade. We understand Judge Palmer came up to look over the Kankakee and Wheatfield gravel road proceedings in behalf of the contractors, who did not care to commence work if there was anything wrong with granting and letting of the road, and that the Judge said everything was regular and that he never had the pleasure ofiooking over a more perfect proceedings. Work will commence on said road next week. The drainage meeting Tuesday was well attended, land owners from all over the state that are interestested in the drainage of the Kankakee valley were here, There was as great a desire for drainage as ever, but a difference of opinion as to the manner of proceedure, H. Marble has a petition now on file at Rensselaer for the drainage under the new ditch law that has just become effective, and a committe was appointed, one from each county affected, to examine the petition now on file and report. This may be all right but it looks as though H. Marble is very desirous of prolonging this drainage question so he can cut a few more crops of rope hay. He may favor drainage but you must show us.

Surrey • Will Zacber is having a well put down at bis residence. If this cold, backward weather continues much longer there will be a feed famine upon us. Early fruit and berries are badly damaged by the cold spell. The general supposition is that many ot the oats may have to be sowed over again. There was preaching at the school house last Sunday and will continue probably all summer, on the second Sun* day of each month. These meetings will be undenominational, and all are invited to attend them. The pickle business at Parr is being talked up now and we think it is an industry that should be encouraged, for it has proven very profitable in many parts of the state, and has paid better than many other crops in this locality. The? Fair Oaks cor. to the Democrat gives Mt. Ayr some good advice on the dram shop business last week. We would certainly bd glad to see all the «a|oons and all places that manufacture of incourage such debauchery closed. While there is so much being said in some papers about the mail order business they seem to only increase theibusiness, tor there have several buggies already been receiyed and more sent for, and large amounts of other goods, too. People have come to the conclusion that they can not stand high profits, high taxes and increased salaries ail at the same time.
