To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. < Mr. William A. Amos, of Sheldon, Illinois, was in Remington last Saturday on legal business. He returned home on the afternoon train. L. Diamondstone, of Watseka, Illinois, wag in Remington the latter part of last week, having come over with his wife to look at the farm recently purchased of Mr. Amos, just across the line in White County. They are well pleased with their purchase. A man was arrested here last week on the charge of burglary committed in the State of Missouri some time last spring or winter. His name is Snell. He was held here about twenty hours, when the sheriff from Missouri arrived with the necessary requisition papers, with whom he returned to Missouri Another party hailing from Lafayette, Jnd., was arrested here last week, charged with embezzlement. The Lafayette officer was aided by George W. Hascall in making the arrest. The prisoner returned to Lafayette with the officer.

William E. Seymour is again at home from Elwood, Ind., and will remain probably one week. His presence here at this time is caused by the breaking of some of the machinery in the tin-plate mill in which he has employment. This caused him to be laid off for about a week, so he spends the time at his home in Remington. A case, entitled Arthur H. Woodin vs. Crawley, was tried before his Honor, G. B. Chappell, J. P., last Wednesday It was on an account, and resulted in a judgment for plaintiff Woodin in the sum of S7B. The defendant, we are informed, tiled an appeal bond, and the case wi.l now be settled in the Jasper circuit court at the January term, 1896.

Mr. John Eugene Spitler, of Rensselaer, Ind., was in Remington on Monday, representing the interests of the Spitler & Kite steam laundry located in Rensselaer. “Gene” is a hustler, and will make a go of the laundry business, if any body will Mr. Spitler appointed Mr. Kirk, the barber, his agent to represent the laundry here. This laundry is now doing as fine work as can be had anywhere, in fact, their work is unexcelled; and all they ask is a trial.

There was a rush of Rensselaer people in Remington on last Saturday in attendance on the football game played on that occasion. We understand that the Bensselaer team was the victor, the score being something like 25 to 5. In conversation with Charley • Warner, he informed your correspondent that the Rensselaer boys came over on purpose to do the Remington chaps up, and had the Remington club known this beforehand they would have declared the game off. But they were not informed in time. Hence their defeat.

We had a splendid rainfall Monday and Monday night following a heavy sleet. The rainstorm terminated in a snow storm, and the ground was covered to the depth of about an inch on Tuesday morning. The rain and snow will certainly do much toward providing water for the winter. Union services will be held in the M. E. Church of Remington to-day (Thanksgiving Day). The sermon will be delivered by Rev. James D. Carson. Mr. Charles E. Harlachers’ friends will ask the Board of County Commissioners to appoint him to the office of Justice of the Peace, at their December session. This (Carpenter) township is, *under the law, entitled to three justices, % but only has one, owing to the fact that two men who were elected to that office at the last election, failed and refused to qualify. We need another, hence the application for the appointment of Mr. Harlacher. Mr. H. has had experience in that office heretofore, and we are informed gave general satisfaction, and he will no doubt receive the appointment at the hands of the County Board of Commissioners.

Nathan J. Reed (our Nathan), set up the oysters to a half dozen of his select friends, as the result of a bet on a point of law concerning the general postoffice department of the general government. The bet having settled a few days ago.
