REMINGTON.

Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Frank Rich and his estimable wife, formerly of Remington now residing in Brook, paid their many friends in Remington a visit recently. Frank is one of the staunchest of the people’s party adherents and an excellent citizen. We wish him prosperity in his business enterprises in his new location as he merits it. # Mr. and Mrs. John Farrell living northwest of Remington a few miles have had their family increased one, by the recent addition of a daughter. Mr. Matt Ream living two miles west of Remington has sold his farm, also his personal property at a public sale. We are informed that Mr. Ream will remove from here and relocate somewhere in the eastern part of this state. Mr. Ream is a good citizen and we are very sorry to lose him from this community. We commend him to the people with whom he may locate. Rev, J. D. Carson will commence a series of revival meetings at the Green school house, north-west of Remington, next Sunday evening. He had intended to commence the meetings two weeks preceding the time above indicated, and would have done so but the state of the weather was so very inclement as to absolutely prevent the holding of the meetings. At the meeting of our board ol town trustees held last Friday evening a petition was presented praying the board to ascertain the probable cost of a good waterworks system for the town of Remington. and also ascertain the merits of the various kinds in use. The petition was signed by about eighty of the citizens of the town, and Messrs. W. E. Peck, Jasper Guy and Ira W. Yeoman were appointed a committee to investigate the matters and to report its findings at the next regular meeting. Henry Welsh is improving his property in the south part of town by building a good substantial new barn on the same. Brother Welsh has a splendid property already, and this qew acquisition will greatly enhance the convenience and value of the same. John M. Ott will build a good SI2OO residence on his lots in the north part of town the coming season. He has a splendid location, having built a good barn thereon last season. He will move into the property when he has completed his new house. He is a good citizen and will be welcomed here. Quite a goodly number of the Remington K. of P. attended a district meeting of that order at Logansport last Wednesday, returning home on the 4:30 a. m. train Thursday morning. They report a good time. A little girl of Samuel Burlings died last Thursday evening with malignant scarlet fever, and was buried in the Remington cemetery Friday afternoon. Ira W. Yeoman made a business trip to Wolcott, Ind., on last Friday. At this writing the weather is a little more like winter, yet it is not cold by any means. Would like to see it cold enough to make ice.
