Correspondence es People’s Pilot. A very quiet wedding took place at the residence of Rev. S. V. McKee on Saturday evening, the 21st inst, the contracting parties being Mr. William Kenyon and Miss Grace Emery, both of Remington. None of the relatives of either party were present except Miss Mabel Kenyon, a sister of the groom. We congratulate the young couple and wish them prosperity and happiness all through the journey of life. Lewis Erb our grocery man is engaged in building a good cellar and ;is tiling the same on the property he recently bought of R. R. Petit, on the corner of New - -York and New Jersey streets. He contemplates building a good house, and we are satisfied he will accomplish this, judging from the amount of stone and other materials already on the ground. It is a credit to our town to have good improvements made. Alf Snyder, who has been in a telegraph office in Union City, Indiana, for some time past is now installed in the office in Remington, having recently taken the- place of Mr. Blessingham who has returned to Logansport, Ind.
