Mrs. Henry Beeks and Mrs. Hubert Cornwell were called to Chenoa, 111., last Wednesday by the- death ot a cousin.

Emmet O’Connor now has a job as fireman on the Indiana Harbor as fireman on the Indiana Harbor railroad, beginning his duties last week. Bear in mind that the Remington { Poultry show will be held Jan. 9th to 14th; inclusive. The catalogues are now out, having been printed by the Jasper County Democrat at Rensselaer. The deer seen north of town by Turner Merritt recently it transpires, was one that used to be in the park at the Assembly grounds here, and had escaped from a deer park near Lafayette. While working about a corn sheller last Wednesday Firman Pample got his glove caught in the gearing and three of the fingers on his right hand were badly mashed, but no bones Were broken, Mrs. Charles Cox returned to her home in Kansas City, Mo., last Tuesday after a few weeks visit with . relatives here and in FoStorio, Ohio. She was accompanied home by her sister, Mrs. Ada Dobbins, who will spend the winter there. A defective flue caused a fire to start in Fred Foreman’s farmhouse seven miles southeast of Remington last Thursday morning and it was burned to the ground together with contents.

McCullough, Clerk; Wm. Hotalling, Escort; Thomas' Beasey, Watchman; George Stoudt, Sentry. Uncle James Pefley, an old resident of Remington, went to the county houke near Rensselaer recently to spend his declining years, rather than be a burden on his friends and relatives. He is old and feeble and will not'live very many more years. We copy from the Reunion Edition of the Benton Review the following letter from Mrs. Arthur Vincent, formerly of near Remington, who with her husband and family is now located at El Dorado, Kan.; . “In responce to your kind invitation to let the old friends in Benton county know of our welfare through the pages of the Benton Review. I will say that we are very pleasantly , located in El Doradb, Kansas, a city of 3,500 inhabitants and the countyseat of Butler county. El Dorado has many fine churches, residences and business houses and one of the best schools in the state. Manual training ’ gnd domestic science are taught from the seventh grade thro the high school. A commercial college preparatory’ and normal course combine to mgke the high school practical in value. Butler county or “the state of butter,”, as it is called by the old settlers, is about as large as the state of Rhode Island. It is especially adapted to stock raising. Besides the native’ , cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, thousands of cattle from the southwest are shipped in, pastured for a few months on the wild grass of the upland prairies and then forwarded to Kansas City for beef. Corn, alfalfa, wheat and oats are raised in large quantities on the bottom land and kaffir corn and sorghum cane on the upland. At Thanksgiving we enjoyed a visit from two former Gilboa neighbors, J. G. Myers of Anthony, Kan., and Roy Jones and family of Manchester, Okla., both we 1 known and prosperous. M. A. Gray and wUe-•of: Remington, who own a farm in Gilboa, were also here at the same time and were well pleased with “sunny Kansas.” The first of next March we move to a 240-acre farm one-half mile from Newton, Kan., about 25 miles from r Wichita, where we will raise alfalfa, wheat, corn and stock. The country around Newton resembles Benton county very much. We are glad to see any of oM neighbors in our western home.”

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD FOR MOTHERS.

y Mrs. D. Gilkeson, 326 Ingles Ave. Youngstown, Ohio, gained wisdom by experience. "My little girl had a severe cold and coughed almost continuously. f My Bister recommended Foley’s Honey and Tar. The first dose I gave her relieved the inflammation in her throat and after using one bottle her throat and lungs were entirely free from inflammation. Since then I always keep a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar in the house.” Accept no substitutes. , ■ F•■ Lo & • __ _ .

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this. tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, the hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by. Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

MODERN METHODS OF BUYING ON THE FARM.

Average Farmer Prefers to Buy His Goods Direct and Have Them Delivered at His Door. The average farmer of todaj- feels that he has as much right to have his goods delivered at his door as the party who lives in town, and as time goes on the tendency in the farming communities is more towards buying their supplies direct and having them , delivered right, at their doors. As a result of these conditions in all the enterprising farming communities you will' find the grocery wagdn, tea and coffee Wagons, meat wagons, modern medicine wagons, etc. There is no getting around the fact that these institutions for the convenience of the farmers are here to stay. One thing that is particularly noticeable is, that the sale of domestic medicines, stock remedies, flavoring extracts, spices, toilet articles, etc.,’ ■ through the medium of the modern medicine wagons driven by up-to-date salesmen of today has grown to an enormous proportion in the last 10 or 15 years. Of course, all manufacturers are right after the farmers trade and as a result- of this competition there has been a great improvement in the quality of the goods handled by these wagons, and our farmer friends tell us that it is a

C. Earl Duvall Rensselaer, Indiana

■ recognized fact in the farming communities that a superior line of goods is handled by these wagons, compared with .similar goods usually sold over the counter in town. The idea is right here, that these j medicine companies do not go to the i expense of much newspaper adver- ! tising, and as a result they are enI abled to give a large package of su- ( perior goods at a less price than the ; manufacturers who market their ' goods through ether channels. To illustrate the high quality of these i preparations it is only necessary to I mention the fact that the most of these medicine salesmen practically I leave their goods on trial with their '• customers and ask no money unless the goods are satisfactory. This I plan of selling naturally appeals to the farmer and as a result most every farmer buys at least a part of his supplies from the medicine wagons;. There was a time.before the enactment of the pure food laws over the country that there were a lot of old peddlers of fake nostrums traveling about the country marketing an entirely different line of stuff, but the enactment of the pure food laws ! seems to have driven this undesirable class of venders out of the field and it is very doubtful if one of these ! old time fakirs could go into the average farming community and do j enough business to keep goinsr. The farmer of today demands the best goods because he has the money to pay for them. Times are not what they were 25 years ago when grain and stock were selling at a low price and every larm had a mortgage upon it. The farmer of today is the most independent person on earth. They are- independent and they know it, and woe to the pprson who tries to dictate as to how and where they shall spend their money.—Duluth Telegraph-Herald, May The W atkins man gives this kind of service described and has the largest and finest line on the road and offers the fairest and squarest terms, a fair trial first and a guarantee of satisfaction or no pay. —V. M. Peer, “the Watkins Man.”
