HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

REMINGTON (From the Press) • REMINGTON R. R. TIME TABLE Mo. 318 East bound 7:38 a.m. No. 331 West bound 9:01 a.m. No. 340 East bound 5:09 p.m. No. 319 West bound 5:33 p.m.

Supt. Wildrick is attending the school convention at Indianapolis this week. Miss Merlie Lamborn went to Chicago Wednesday for a visit of several weeks. Miss Ivadene Swan of LaGro is the guest of Miss Martha Kyle and visiting friends. Peter Geib returned Tuesday evening from a two weeks’ trip to points in Kansas. Mrs. William Telto of Shelbyville came Monday to visit her sister, Mrs. Ed Walton and assist her in the restaurant. C. H. and Frank Peck left Saturday evening for a several days’ visit with their brother Ike and the Ed Peck family at Ashville, New York. The Remington high school football team played the Gilboa boys at the hitch barn Wednesday evening and warped it to the Gilboa boys to the tune of 21 to 14. Russell Fisher and bride returned to Remington Friday evening and for the present will make the telephone office their place of residence, where Mrs. Fisher still retains her job as night girl. Mrs. Charles Michael and baby of Logansport, who had been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Robert Hackley. the past week, went to Lafayette Sunday to visit her parents before returning home. Eber Spence of Bloomington, Illinois, who had been keeping the books at the lumber yard this su rammer, returned home Sunday to complete his stenographic course. Robert Stoudt will assist them in this work during Mr. Spence’s absence. Mrs. J. Francis Ashley attended the mortgage burning at the Christian church in Jasenville last Sunday and delivered the address at the morning meeting.. Mr. Ashley was pastor there five years and was there when the church was built in 1908.

During the high wind Wednesday morning the dwelling on the farm of Jacob Valinski southwest of town was burned to the ground, although all contents were saved. The fire which had caught just under the eaves of the main part of the house from the kitchen chimney was discovered by Valinski about 8 o’clock. Tony Valinski, who lives with his father, was in the field, and on account of Mr. Valinski’s age the fire soon gained headway. The neighbors being attracted by the fire came in great numbers in autos and although their efforts did not save the house the contents were saved through efficient work. There was some insurance carried on the dwelling. Mr. and Mrs. William Shepherd of Redlands, California, arrived in Remington Friday evening after a visit to their son Ernest at Washing'on, D. C., and a side trip to New York city and Niagara Falls, and stops at various points where they had friends. While here their time was very much in demand, as all old friends were greatlj* desirous of entertaining them during their stay, but with one or two exceptions they did not go out much, but kept open house at Mother Bartoo’s, where they stayed, and there was hardly a minute, night or day,! when there were not from six to a dozen there to renew old friendships and hear and see how the far West was using the Sheps. Mrs. Shepherd is stout and healthy and tips the scales at more pounds than when here. Shep himself seems not a whit changed and is the same jovial, kindly spirit as of yore. He wants us to say that he certainly appreciates the reception given himself and good wife by Remington people after an absence of fourteen years and that had he realized that they would be so much in demand would have arranged to have stayed here a longer time. As it was their ticket was expiring and as they had several other stops enroute, including the Yosemite valley, they were compelled to hurry on. They were conveyed to Morocco Monday morning by A. B. Coleman, where they spent the night and then resumed their Westward journey.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP Dr. Leedom of Morocco, who has been taking treatment in a hospital, has so far recovered as to be able to resume his practice. Corn husking ig not being rushed very rapidly. That corn is a little too damp to be stored in any considerable bulk appears to be the general verdict in this community.

The women of the North Star church served dinner at the Tolin sale and, as a result, the church treasury wag enriched to the amount of about SBO, we are told. Old timers were reminded of the ‘‘good old days” last Monday when numerous flocks of wild geese, brants and ducks were seen in this community, winging their way Southward. Hon. Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, discussed the issues of the present campaign from a Democratic standpoint in Morocco last Monday night. The meeting wag well attended.

We note that a Democratic speaker in New York referred to our noble Teddy not long ago as ‘‘the Gyp the Blood” of the Republican party. Will T. R. kindly “shet’’ up now and stay “shet.” Yes, yes, yes, the Mt. Ayr Tribune is strictly neutral. Those little squibs that appear in that paper now and then, and tending to boost the g. o. p. cause, are due simply to mistakes on the part of the “make-up” man. See? The big barn on the Ross Lucas farm in Beaver township was destroyed by fire recently, together with 800 bushels of seed oats, 19 tons of hay, three head of colts, ten tons of straw and a number of farm implements. The barn was insured for SI,OOO. With the American hens generally on a strike and with the dear public demanding eggs at almost any price, iK is good to hear that a certain Jackson township woman, according to her own testimony, is gathering fifty to sixty eggs a day. She feeds her hens wheat. Jay Makeever showed us an ear of corn the other day which he brought back with him from Marion, Ohio, and which indicated a much better corn crop than we have here. The ear was large, well filled and perfectly dry and was gathered from a field which, * the owner estimated, would yield eighty bushels an acre.

Mrs. Jennie Conrad, who owns and manages a 6,000-acre farm in Lake township, was booked for a speech at the big Tolin sale north of here recently, and the Republicans, it is said, fairly hugged themselves in anticipation of the lambasting which the Democrats were sure to get from the good lady aforesaid. However, when Mrs. Conrad’s speech showed a decided leaning to the cause of Democracy the Republicans were much peeved and spoke harshly one to another. Whisper it not in Gath and breathe it not in Askelon, but there is something w’rong in the camp of the g. o. p. in Newton county—something radically wrong. Firstly, the McCray rally, which was to bring together 30,000 of the faithful, brought about 800, and not a few who were present were quite outspoken in denominating this meeting the heaviest and most killing frost of the season. Subsequent efforts on the part of Republican leaders to instill some enthusiasm into the campaign have failed miserably, and. as a certain Republican in the northern part of the county stated recently, the party at the present time is milling in a circle and getting nowhere. It reminds one of the effort of the school boy, who, when requested by his teacher to write a verse of poetry ending with the words “round and round,” startled the school with the following: I “A black cat sat on the court house steps And a blue cat sat on the ground: The black cat made a dive for the blue cat’s tail, And they went round and round.”

Used It Eleven Years There is one remedy that for many years has given relief from coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough. Mrs. Chas. Rietz, Allen Mills. Pa., writes: “I have used Foley’s Honey and Tar for the past eleven years and I would not be without it.” It promptly relieves hoarseness, tickling throat and wheezv breathing. Sold everywhere. —Advt.

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of catarrh deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. At all druggists, 75c.—F. J. CHENEY & CO. Toledo, Ohio.
