First Trip of the Season.

Last Sunday Albert Overton and Vernon Nowels of this place took a ride of about 35 miles on their bicycles. They rode from here to Remington, from Remington to Wolcott, from Wolcott to Reynolds, ar.d from Reynolds to Monon, and then came home on the nine o'clock . freight train. They made a very good trip of it as they left here at 1 o’clock and arrived at Remington 10 minutes before 4. They left there shortly after 4 o’clock and got in Monon about half past seven. This was a very fast trip considering the bad roads and the few accidents encountered. Joe Hammond was down from DeMotte last Saturday. Russell Parker was home the latter part of last week.
