REMINGTON.

REMINGTON, in which place The People s Pilot has an extensive circulation, is a very pretty village of over 1.000 population, situated in the extreme southern part of Jasper county on the C., St. L.& P. railway 125 miles frohi 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, About two inches of the “beautiful” snow fell here Sunday night and Monday morning. The average small boy is consequently in the height of his glory. William E. Uhl, attorney of Montieello, Ind., was in Remington last Saturday on legal business. Oliver B. Mclntire has been in Remington for the past two weeks visiting friends and looking after his business interests. Mr. Dye of Wolcott, who was looking after the lumber business here last week in the absence of his son Charles, met with the loss of his eye-brows one evening. He was preparing to close the office, and in blowing out the liglitthe lamp exploded, causing the disaster. He may consider himself in great luck to

know that the damage was no j greater. A person who goes about much at this season of the year,* can certainly appreciate the value of good roads. We had occasion to pay a visit to near Fowler recently, and going over took advantage of the gravel roads, which were in a fair condition, but on our return, business took us over the black dirt and clay roads, which were bad in the extreme. The team was compelled to walk most of the way back, and we were several hours in making the return trip. We need many more gravel roads, and that in the near future. All of the Public sbbools in Remington, and Carpenter and Jordan townships adjourned last Wednesday evening in order to allow the teachers to attend Thanksgiving dinners, and other exercises, and also to attend the County Teachers A ssociation Friday aad Saturday held at Rensselaer, which they probably all did. They report a. very pleasant and profitable time for both occasions, and all returned to their several charges on Monday morning. Geo. F. Bloom, one of our grocers, has sold out. his stock of goods to Messrs. Hanly Bros, and will retire from the business. He claims that owing to poor health, and slow business he was compelled to abandon the business.

.The foot ball game on Thanksgiving day between Goodland and Remington teams Resulted in the defeat again of the Remington boys, the score standing 4 to 6 in favor of Goodland,

W. N. Chappell, a carpenter who recently located in Remington, went over to Rensselaer one day last ,week accompanied by Miss Sadie Anderson. They procured a marriage license of County Clerk Coover, and were at once married by Capt. Burnham, J. P.; returned to Remington and at once commenced housekeeping in the Kirk property on North Ohio street. We wish them a prosperous and happy voyage on life’s tempestuous sea. Charles Chamberlain, an attorney of Hoopeston, 111., form erly of Remington, accompanied by his wife and Dr. C. C. Landon also of Hoopeston and formerly of this place; spent the latter part of last week including Thanksgiving day with Dr. Landon. brother-in-law and father, and other Remington relatives and friends.

The Thanksgiving sermon preached by Rev. J. I). Carson in theM. E. church last Thursday was greatly appreciated by all who heard it. H. H. Walker has gone to Chicago to visit his sons there, and will probably remain all winter if he succeeds in finding good employment there. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Richcreek spent Thanksgiving in Indianapolis with a brother of Mr. R. S. W. Thompson sr. of Monticello was in Remington two or three days last week, endeavoring to consummate a trade for Mr. Seymours property here. We understand they failed to agree.

Rev. Gilbert Small occupied the Presbyteriau pulpit last Sabbath. Rev. Small is at present located at Idaville, Ind. Mr. E. F. Emery went to Chicago last week for a short visit with friends. He will only be gone a few days. We are sorry to note the death of a brother of our fellow townsman, Mr. James Zea, which occured in Colorado a few days ago being the result of a kick from a broncho. Mr. George Griffin went to Chicago last Wednesday to visit his son Fred. Mr. Griffin returned home on last Saturday. TheGoodland team I. O. (J.
