in your city. Our people are loth to lose such a good citizen as Mr. Leopold and they all hope that he will be prosperous in his venture in Rensselaer. Mr. Chas. H. Peck, one of Remington's best business young men. is now putting in a large stock of clothing, boots and shoes, and furnishing goods in the Jaber store roOm just vacated by Mr. Simon Leopold. We all wish Charley abundant success in his new venture and we believe that he will make asuccess of it as he is built on the successful plan.

Thomas Grant formerly of Rensselaer now’ of Remington and in the employment of the Jasper County Lumber Company has bought lots in the north part of towm in Bruell's addition and has built therein a neat little barn and other outbuildings, and will at once build himself a good residence on the same. Tommy has prospered nicely since he came to Remington as he deserved to do and as all persons are almost sure to do who attend strictly to the business which concerns themselves only and leave the business of other people strictly alone. He is a faithful employe and merits the praise of the community and the money he has earned.

The ordinance of baptism was conferred on three recent converts to the Christian faith on the evening of the Ist inst. at the Christian church in Remington.

The public schools of the town of Remington and also all the public schools of Carpenter Township were opened on Mon day morning the 9th inst. under favorable auspices. The enrollments bid fair to outnumber the enrollments of all former years. The schools all start out with bright prospects for the future. Howard Jones left last Tuesday for an extended trip through the West. He will visit Wyoming. Montana. Idaho. Oregon and Washington, and all the principal cities in those states. His object is to see the countries and if anything favorable strikes his fancy he will probably invest somewhere while there. He will be accompanied as far on his journey as Helena. Montana, by Mr. William McKee where Mr. McKee goes to take charge of a professorship in a college at that place. We wish both gentlemen a prosperous journey and a safe return to Hoosierdom.
