Remington Notes.

Farmers are all done sowing oats in this locality, and it now looks like we might be blessed with an abundant crop of cerial this year. Corn planting is just now engaging the attention of our farmer friends. With a plentiful supply of early rains we will have a good hay crop this season. The hay crop was a complete fail are here last year, and our people never knew the value of the hay crop until they experienced this failure. Uncle John Harmon, who resided on south ohi° street, died last Friday about 4:30 p m. He was stricken with paralysis nearly three years ago, since which time he had been completely helpless as an infant, and was a great care for his family and friends. He received another attack of this dreadful malady Wednesday night preceding and he remained uncon scious until this messenger called him hence. He left many friends who had noihing but words of praise to express for him as a friend and neighbor. He had lived more than the allotted time of man, being more than eighty years old at the time of his death. As was laid to rest in the Remington cemetery after funeral services by Rev. Mikels at the residence Saturday afternoon. C. E. Harlacher, and his son Frank have returned from an extensive visit through the south ern states, having been gone for about one month. We are informed by Frank that they are not “badly struck” on the future outlook for the portions of the south which they have visited, owning to the conditions of society, the soil, markets, and many other advantages which we enjoy.

Dr. Marion G. Traugh, the dentist, has relocated in Goodland, Ind., for the practice of his profession. He has leased the residence of the late prosecuting attorney, T. C. Anabel, who died a little over one year ago. He has also secured commodious dental rooms. Dr. Traugh was for many vear9 a successful dentist of this place, but he gave up the practice about one year ago to engage in the Dr. Nott Rupture cure business, which we infer did not prove to be the “bonanza” that he and associates had anticipated. There will be a meeting held in the Christian Church next Saturday evening, the 18th inst, at 7:30 p. m., for the purpose of organizing a township Sunday School Association, without regard to chnrch organization. Everybody interested in the Sunday sehQol work is earnestly requested to be present, and assist in perfecting an ore aoization that will be a credit to Carpenter township. We were not aware until quite recently that our fellow townsman Bro. P. R. Curtis, was a nimrod yet such seems to be the case, for it is reported that one day last week he shouldered his his trustv fowling piece and proceded into the country about two miles, when he came upon a

flock of ducks iu a pond on the farm of George F Schaull; Bro. Curtis opened fire on them at one e, and continued hi» onslaught until his ammunition was all spent, when he cluboed his gun, and preceded to make war on the flock in that manner. At this juncture he discovered that he had all the time been firing at a lot of decoys. The matter in some way leaked out and now the boys about town are having lots of fun with F R. The “Silver Craze,” does not seem to be abating in and about Remington to any verv great extent. Occasionally we hear of new’ recruits to the 16 to 1 silver ranks. We noticed T. P. Wright of Rensselaer on our streets one day last week. Park looks fat. strong ane healthy and talks like he is enjoying' life. The seventy-seventh anniversary of Odd Fellowship, and the forty-fifth anniversary of the De gree of Rebekab. in the United States will he celebrated this year. April 27th. by the Schuyler Lodge No. 284 I. O. O. F., ancUßemington Lodge No. D. of R. An interesting programme has been arranged, for this entertainment, and a supper for invited guests will also be provided. Oscar Bunnel removed from Remington with his family last week, and has relocated in Wolcott. White county, where he formerly resided. He has somewhat improved from his late rheumatic troubles. Mrs. Grahm, who lives on North Indiana Street, has been very sick with a complication of diseases for four or five weeks, and she does not seem to improve. It seems doubtfuUthat she will recover.
