Remington, Ind. Goodland Herald: Dr. and Mrs. B. W. Pratt, who have been visiting the important cities in Texas and Oklahoma for the past two weeks, returned home Wednesday evening. • • ♦ Monday morning it was found that the large school house bell was cracked on the west side and by Tuesday evening two more cracks were discovered, one on the east and one on the south. As the bell Is guaranteed it will be replaced by the bell factory. The Kentland Democrat has the following mention of J. C. Dickerson, at one time superintendent of the Remington schools: Superintendent J. C. Dickerson, of the public schools, loaded his household effects on cars yesterday for shipment to his farm in northern Jasper county where he intends to reside after the close of his school work here next month. His family left for their new home this morning. Supt. Dickerson will board, and remain in charge of the school until the close of the term. The rude jeers, mockery and insults given to the Dickerson family as they boarded the train this morning, by a crowd, of pupils from the public school who went there for the express purpose of wounding their feelings to the utmost, were, to say the least, simply shameful. They were such as to call for the organization of the parents of every -pupil in the school for thp purpose of ascertaining who the offending ones were and that the parents then themselves give their offspring such punishment as they would think would be the most beneficial to them for all future time. If the parents will not see to it that their children grow up mannerly and well behaved they may live to see that the law and its officers will take hold of them. Then, too, railroad companies should see that patrons at their stations and on their trains are given all due protection from the hoodlum class, be they young or old.

We often wonder how any person can be persuaded Into taking anything but Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble. Do not be fooled into 'accepting “own make’’ or other substitutes. The genuine contains no harmful drugs and is In a yellow package. A. F. Long.
