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. & 1\ railway 125 miles from Chicago. Largest hay shipping point in Indiana; line 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. Charles Warner was in Remington last week, in the interest of the special edition of the Pilot, to be published during the holidays. The weather last week was what most of our people pronounced a very fair winter. The mercury on Tuesday morning indicated four degrees below zero. This does pretty well for a starter.

H. C. Forbes residing four miles north-west of Remington, is on the sick list. We have not learned the natui*e of his indisposition. George D. Meyer was granted a license to retail spirituous and malt liquors, by the Board of County Commissioners last week. He had previously been selling by the quart. It will be much better for the community under the present arrangement in-as-much as he is now under S2OOO bond, and the county and town has the benefit of $250 license fee. John I. Nutt is seriously sick with typhoid fever, at the residence of Mrs. George Shipman where he has been boarding for some time past. Dr. J. P. Ramsay is attending him. He is a member of Schuyler Lodge No. 284 I. O. O. F. and the Brotherhood is attentively looking after his welfare.

A tramp about 35 years old was killed by the west bound train on the P. C. C. & St. L. railroad, about one mile east of Reynolds, one day last week. He had been in Remington the day previous. When the engineer whistled for him he stepped off the track, and remained off until the train got within a short distance of him, when he sud-

denly stepped on to the track again deliberately, and was instantly killed. It was certainly a premeditated case of suicide. There is still some activity in the real estate market in this locality, there being an occasional sale of a farm at good figures. Joseph Turner has sold some valuable lots in the city of Frankfort, Ind., to Theopoles Lambert. Mr. Lambert who resides at Chalmers, Ind., visited relatives and friends in Reming l ton the greater part of last week. He returned to his home last Friday, going east on the 12:24 train.

A goodly number of the friends visited the family of Mr. A. J. Brooks five miles south of Remington in Gilbon township, Benton county, last Saturday, the occasion being the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. The company reports a great time,, in the way, of amusements and enjoyment. Music was the principle feature of the event. The guests bade the host and hostess adieu, and expressed the hope that they might meet on the occasion, of their golden wedding. The wife of John Harris jr. died last Tuesday evening at 6 o’clock. She had been sick only a few days, the cause of her death, being child birth. She leaves surviving her. her husband and young child about one week old. Messrs. Foster and Marquess have recently bought out the business of M. B. Graham, dealer in wood, coal and feed. The new firm will endeavor to keep a fu'l supply of goods, in their line, and will sell the same just as cheaply as the market will allow. We wish the new firm the greatest success. Mr. McFarland of Jordan township, was in Remington, last Saturday in the interest, of the special edition, of the holiday number, of the People’s Pilot. We are pleased to note

that Brother McFarland had a fair degree of success. A niece of F.E. Babcock, publisher of the Remington Press, is learning the art of type setting in the Press office. A great many people here are suffering with severe colds just now among is our correspondent.
