We are sorry to have Jim leave Remington, but we all wish him success wherever he goes. Remington held a ding-ringer of a celebration Monday afternoon and evening, after the authentic news of the armistice signing had been received. Business places were closed, the band turned out, Liberty Guards marched, and various organizations were also in line. In the evening a big bonfire in the street was lighted and a great quantity of light trash burned. Old buggies and carti and a vast quantity of headgear found its way into the flames from the hands of enthusiastic celebrators. There is little doubt but that November 11th will be declared an International holiday throughout the entire world, and it would be quite fitting that it should be done.
