Will Tharp and Louie Wilcox rode over to Remington and return, last Sunday, on bicycles.

The Populists of this Senatorial district will meet at Goodland on next Friday, for the purpose of placing a ticket in the field. John D’Armand, of Tefft, was a caller at this office last Tuesday morning and while here subscribed for the best paper in the county. This county was well represented at the Populist convention of this congressional district, which was held at Logansport yesterday. The warm weather of the latter part of last week made the crops grow in nice style, but another slight cold snap on Tuesday did not help the case any. First communion services will be held at St. Augustine’s church next Sunday. This is quite an important event and a large attendance is expected from other towns.

Erastus Peacock, a well known citizen of this place, was elected to the honorable position of Grand Master-at-Arms at the grand lodge of K. of P. at Indianapolis this week. John Healy has opened a shoe shop in Uncle Charley Rhoades’ harness shop, and is now prepared to do all kinds of custom work. His terms are cash to all. If you need repairing done in first class style, give him a call and he will give you satisfaction.

The music furnished by the Rensselaer band last Wednesday, on the occasion of Memorial services, surely deserves special mention. If the citizens would only take a little more interest in this organization, we could have a band that we would all be proud of. As it is, it bids fair to rival any of the bands in surrounding towns.
