THERE Is but one valid reason for expecting liberal patronage from the public, which is that we give as great, or greater, value for the money as can be had elsowbere. either in Rensselaer, competing towns or in Chicago. Failing to do this we do not deserve the trade. Robinsun Bro’s. Lumber Co. RENSSELAER, IND.

REMINGTON.

REMINGTON, in which place The People s Pilot has an extensive circulation, Is a very P’-etty village of over 1.000 population, situated in the extreme southern part of Jasper county on the St. L. & P. railway 125 miles from Chicago. Largest hay shipping point in Indiana; fine horses, cattle and hogs; rich agricultural lands worth up to $75 per acre and higher; four warehouses; county fair; excellent high schools; fine churches; wellgraded gravel roads in all directions: two banks. To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. The Press office is again rushed with work. Mr. Babcock is moving his family from Goodland to Remington, and Spencer Peck of Goodland is again assisting in the printing office. Elder Carson has now fully recovered from his late sickness with typhoid fever and he attends all his appointments regularly. The Young People's Christian Endeavor Society held a very enjoyable social in the Christian church last Friday evening. They report a great many present.

George Royalty lost his pocket book, containing about *ls last week. It was found by a small Remington boy, who proceeded to utilize the find for his own special benefit, and that of his family. Mr. Royalty recovered about half of the swag, and is trying to get the balance with chancesnot very favorable for success. While handling a vicious horse last week, Ed Stokes was bitten ’in the face by the animal, losing a part of his nose. The wound is very painful, and will undoubtedly disfigure him for life. Under the orders of the Board of Town Trustees last week, ordering the construction and repairing of about one hundred different side walks in Remington, the good work is progressing nicely. Many have built new walks, and others have repaired the old ones, and still others are preparing to do the w T ork as directed. This is as it should be. Nothing helps out a town more than good walks, and it now appears that the orders will probably be all complied with, without any special kicking. The teachers institute for Jordan township was held last Saturday and every teacher in the township was in attendance, as was also John F. Warren, the county supertendent of schools. Many of the Remington Sunday school pupils and teachers, of the several Sunday schools of town were in attendance at the County Sunday School Convention at Rensselaer, last Saturday and Sunday. They all report a good attendance and much good accomplished. Fred Love & Co., furniture dealers and undertakers, have sold out their business and building to Hal E. Sheetz, who will

now have the entire control of the business. Love & Co., carried a fine large stock of goods, which added to that which Mr. Sheetz already carried, also very large, will make an immense stock, and is of as fine a quality of goods as may be found any where in the state of Indiana. Miss Derschull is still confined to her bed owing to an attack of typhoid fever. Miss Julia McKee, is teaching her school during her sickness. E. S. Stokes and Miss Harris were married at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Harris, in the town of Remington, the latter part of last week. Rev. J. D. Carson officiating. The newly wedded couple have the best wishes of this community.

George D. Meyer has made an application for a license to retail spirituous and other liquors in his place of business in Remington, Ind. The application to be heard by the Board of Commissioners at their December, 1895, session. He has for some time been running a quart saloon, but we believe it is better that license be granted in all such cases, for the reason that the saloon keeper is under bonds to keep an orderly house, and that if he is so licensed the county and town will receive *250 fees, which they otherwise would not have, if they were not so licensed. A so called United States detective, or marshal spent a portion of last week, together with his (ostensible) wife in Remington. He claimed to be in search of counterfeiters, and freely exhibited, all the paraphanalia necessary to the faithful performance of his high office; such as a star, manacles, revolver, etc. The only thing we have heard of his successfully accomplishing was to beat his landlady out of a*s board bill.

A. D. Babcock of Goodland was in Remington one day last week. He still weighs a little more than 275 pounds. Court convenes in White county rext Monday, the 25th inst., Judge Palmer on the bench. Remington was visited by a good rain-and snow storm last Saturday forenoon.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND.. THURSDAY. NOV. 21.1895.

Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Miss Sadie Heilman of Kentland visited friends in the city last week. Mrs. Pumphrey and Mrs. Bates of Rensselaer spent the day recently with Mrs. Caldwell. Harry Haskell spent Sunday with his father. Will Miller was recently the loser of a fine cow; the south bound train struck it and threw it into the field near by, crippling it so badly that it had to be killed. The box social was not very well attended at No. 7 last Friday night. The proceeds being only $8.25. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell spent Sunday with their daughter, Mrs. Washburn. The newly organized bund has secured the able instructor, Art Lyons. We hope they will succeed in their undertaking. The regular township institute met Saturday, Nov. 16, all teachers being present. A good institute was enjoyed. All subjects were dismissed thoroughly. Two visitors were present during the day, viz., Messrs. Bringle and Hopkins. The young people of Mt. Ayr met at Dr. Caldwell’s last Wednesday night for the purpose of organizing a society for the winter. Luther Lyons was chosen president, Miss Sarah Chilcote secretary and Frank Coovert treasurer. Their intention is to purchase games and meet at private houses every two weeks, and enjoy themselves. The society will meet at Dr. Merry’s Tuesday evening, Nov. 26. Protracted meeting is being held at North Star by Rev. Clark. Friday is the regular day for the Mt. Ayr schools to give their literary programme. Claud Seward pres.. Miss Alma Hess secretary.

Some of the people, who attended the services at North Star Sundav after-noon, were not very graceful drivers, and they showed how happy they were in the free country air when they mounted the top rail of a fence, and how soon they dropped. _ Handy Andy.

Correspondence of the People’s Pilot. Otis Jacks went to Rensselaer last week. A. B. Lewis visited La Fayette a few days since. Hugh Lowe w’as in this vicinity Wednesday. C. C. Robinson of La Fayette visited his farm last week. Chas. Van Arsdal’s little boy is much better. Dr. Loughridge of Rensselaer has the case in hand. Charley Baughman, who is teaching the Johnson school, visited the institute in Hanging Grove Saturday and reports an interesting time.

Harry Chester the boy pedestrian mentioned in the Chicago Telegram last Saturday spent Sunday night in town; he is on his way around the U. S. The distance he expects to cover this trip is about 15,000 miles and he expects to accomplish the feat in 18 months. This sort of an occupation seems almost as useless as the prize fight near Rensselaer last Saturday night. What is the matter? Has the Pilot a new typo, or are we a little too careless about forming our letters? We noticed last week that in two places where we had intended the initial “C,” that “A” was substituted, and in one instance, instead of the abreviation “Mrs. ’’ the name “Mose” was used. We know that correspondents often make mistakes, and we presume editors do too, but in case we are both innocent we kindly request the editor of the Pilot to join us in giving the “devil” his due. B. Y. Guess.

A little extra care, friend, in the clear lettering of names, we can supply the balance of the items, though it is pleasant to have it all legible.—[Ed. F. R. Meyer, druggist, has prepared a large quanity of the hog cholera preventative, recommended by the state lecturer, who spoke at the farmers meeting in the court house last Saturday, the formula of which is given elsewhere in this paper. Call and get a package before your hogs become sick.

C. W. Coen wants 25,000 bushels of corn within the next 30 days and will pay the highest market price for the same. We are the only steam laundry in town. Spitler & Kight.

There will be a box social at Egypt Friday evening, money to be used for library. Come every one with plenty of bait, and spend your evening fishing in the pond. Scholars-of the Hedge Grove school ran on to a lizard. They ran and told their teacher and after getting all the small children in the house, took some of the larger children and a ten foot pole and proceeded to kill the maruding animal. Miss Lillie Peacock, Elmer Phegley, Addie Haas and George Robinson spent last Friday evening at Wm. Kenton’s. Chas. Morris, wife and children visited his father, Walter Morris, Saturday and Sunday. Why don’t we hear some more from pumpkin roller. Another box social an Neverfail Thursday night Nov. 20, as the other one was not a success on account of the rain. Country Bess.

Soddy Tenn., Nov. 12, 1895. —On Sep. 9, self and family, accompanied by James Richmond, left Lee, Indiana, bound for East Tennessee. At Crawfordville, we were joined by our well known friend, James P. Overton. Our aim was to avoid the hills, therefore we bore west, via of Terre Haute, thence south and east crossing the Ohio river at Grandville. This route gave us but one day in the hills these with the hills in Knox county, Ind., constituted our worst roads, except the ascending and decending of the mountains, and those were not half so bad as we anticipated. We crossed the Kentucky and Tennessee line at Adairville, Ky., and had good pike roads to the Cumberland mountains. Nashville is the most beautiful city we passed through and is under the best city government. But among the beautiful sights was the government cemetery at Stony River, near Muffreesboro. We stopped our teamsand went all through it, but to give a detailed account of it at this writing w r ould be impossible, it was simply grand. From there we went to Woodbury and ascended the first bench of the Cumberland. We were about tw’o hours its making this ascent. From this point to the main mountains is 29 miles, but only 21 miles to McMinville. The surface of this mountain is slightly broken, and most of the land seems poor, although we saw as good corn on this mountain as we saw at any place along our route. Taken into consideration the way land is farmed on the mountains, a man cannot at once determine just how well the land will produce. The improvments are scattering and for the most part in colonies. Some Ohio colonies are undoubtedly doing well. There is an immense amount of improved land on the mountains. After we ascend the highest part of the Cumberland mountains, 8 miles east of McMinville, it is 19 miles to where we begin the descent. From this point the valley below constitutes a beautiful sight. The farms look like gardens in size and the roads like narrow paths. All the mountains have deep hollows, called coves, thaWextend from the valleys. It is in these coves you find mountain streams, along which bear and deer are more or less plentiful.

We descended Waldron’s ridge at a mining town, called Snoddy, an incorporated town of about 1,500 inhabitants, in the Tennessee river valley. This valley is very broken, except a very narrow strip along the river, and often the level land is on one side of the river and not more than one half mile wide. At Igoe’s ferry, five miles from where we came down Waldron’s ridge, we crossed the Tennessee river, and four miles from this point east is Long’s Savannah in Janies county, there we decided to stop and look around, and made some arrangements to locate, and go into business, but had word sent me that if I expected to succeed I must be a republican. James county is re publican. It is enough to say I did not locate there. Their school terms are short in James county, but in Hamilton county, in the country we have eight months school and ten in the towns; excellent teachers and schools under the best control. Of the people all through this country, their hospitality was never too highly spoken of. I

think that there is a great many openings here for people of our country, but will not say until I have seen further as regards the land. There is some that is excellent—the bottom lands are unexcelled. The ridge land, though excellent for all kinds of fruit and vegetables, is not so good for grain, but are about equal to the Jasper and White counties sand ridge. It is healthy on the hills and mountains, but along the streams it is malarious. We have a perfect system of gravel roads. L. E. Noland.

With True Western Enterprise.

The Telephone company now has toll line connections with the following points: Remington, Wolcott, Reynolds Brookston, Chalmers, La Fayette, Attica. O’dells, West Point, Shadeland, Crawfordsville, New Richmond, Wingate, Linden, Ronney and South Raub, and will have in short time connection with all towns in Jasper county, including the large farms along the Kankakee, and with Monticello in the course of three weeks. , This company has been in existence less than six months, and the rapidity with which the work has been pushed to completion is creditable to all members of the company. Tne stockholders are all citizens of Rensselaer, seven in number as follows: Delos Thompson, C. C. Sigler, E. L. Hollingsworth, T. J. McCoy, C. E. Mills, J. F. Wasson and Thompson & Bros.

The Eastern Star Chapter entertained their sister lodges of Remington, Wolcott and Monticello at their hall last night. Refreshments were served after the work of the evening. The Chapter here instituted all three ofthe visiting chapters last winter, and this reception was given in commemoration of the fact, and to instruct them in floor work. It was a most enjoyable entertainment and the following is a list of the guests who honored the occasion with their presence:

Gentlemen Wm. Marquess, Harry Hartly, Wm. Zea. Wm. Shepherd, Charley Dye, Benhart Leopold; Mesdames Isadora Morris, Wm. Marquess, Harry Hartly, Frank Wolfe, John Majors. Wm. Zea, Wm. Shepherd, Benhart Leopold, John Blake, Alice Rothrock, Hamilton, W. S. Bushnell, Hattie Paul; Misses Abbie Rollins, Mac Hemphi'l, Flora Hodshire, Alice Johnson, Lida Wigmore. Emma Lear. Ida Murray, MaudMoorehoyse Della Hess. There were close to 103 persons who took part at the banquet. A candidate was initiated. Fifteen thousand trades unionists of Birmingham, Ala., will celebrate the release of Debs tomorrow. Kentucky populists feel more victorious in the election of their legislators, who are the balance of power on joint ballot for United States senator, than do either the humiliated democrats or the suddenly successful republicans, who find the prize so near and yet so far.

A protracted meeting, commencing Sunday, November 24, (next Sunday,) will be held at the Church of God in the western part of the town of Rensselaer. Preaching by Rev. F. L. Austin, pastor. Sunday school every Sunday at 9:30 a. m.; Prayer meeting every Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. Everybody is cordially invited to attend all the above services.
