I. H. Allman was in Rensselaer Mond*y* “ c t J' Ellis Jones “atftoed” to the hub Monday. Fountain Park Assembly closes tomorrow. A son was born last week to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Melrose. A large number of Remington people will go to Rensselaer Friday to the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. On "Bryan Day” there were 45 automobiles at Fountain Park, we understand, and about 40 again last Sunday. Misses May and Daisy Barnrs of Frankfort, are visiting the family of Turner Merritt and attending assembly this week.

Monticello stood second in number of points won. J. D. Allman's are all packed up ready to move to Rensselaer as soon as they can get possession of the house they recently purchased there, which will probably be the latter part of this week.

Miss Lucy Wagner accompanied them home for a short visit. Monday's Monticello Journal: Frank Harlacher and Fred Bowman went to Pulaski this morning, where they will launch their boat and start on a four days' voyage and fishing trip. It is an outing which they have been planning to take each season for almost ten years past, but something always happened to disappoint them. Judging from what talk we have had with the farmers of Carpenter tp., and the voters of Remington the proposition to vote a subsidy to give to the proposed electric railroad promoters will be given the cold shoulder here. The farmers are against the proposition almost to a man and there are a great many town people who will vote against a subsidy.

There was the biggest crowd ot this season's assembly at Fountain Sunday. Rensselaer, Goodland, Wolcott and Monticello furnished the greater number of town people, while practically all the surrounding country people were there. Had W. J. Bryan been billed for Sunday instead of a week day the grounds would scarcely have held the crowd that would have been here. However, the management is always sure ota crowd on Sunday, and of oourse the best drawing cards must be put on during week days to help out the attendance during the week. It would take a column of space to give the names of all the visitors and former citizens who are here or have been here to visit friends and to attend the assembly at Fountain Park. We cannot give all the names and won't attempt it, but here are a few of them: H. H. Balthis of Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. |ohn Brown of Martinsville.
