Remington Notes.

Miss Belle Lally of Michigan City has been visiting her sister, Miss Maude, fora few days past. She will probably return in a few days. Jacob S. Barnes, our hay and grain man, has been in lowa and Wisconsin for a few days past looking after hay and oats. There was a social dance at Durand Hall Thursday evening. A fair attendance, enjoyable time, and excellent music were reported. Marion C. Coover’s second term as Auditor of Newton county expired a few days ago. He will now devote his entire time and attention to the grain business here, where he will soon move his family from Kentland. He is one of the partners in the firm of Messrs. Putney, Tabor & Co.

Rev, S. V. McKee of the Presbyterian church delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduates of the Remington high schools last Sunday evening at the Methodist Episcopal church. The discourse was an able one, and was attentively listened to by a large audience, the church proper and galleries being packed like sardines in a box. Reuben Yeoman of Rensselaer and Ernest Coen of Oklahoma were the guests of the family of their uncle, Ira W. Yeoman, Saturday and Sunday last. They returned to Rensselaer Sunday evening.

E. G. Warren of DeMotte, brother-in-law of Ira W. Yeoman, was in Remington last week on business. He stopped with his relatives while here.

Miss Edith Bull, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James N. Bull, residing about three miles southeast of town, was taken sick on Tuesday of last week, and about noon Sunday she died. She was about nineteen years of age and a most estimable young lady. She was a member of the degree of Rebecca, I. O. O. F., of Remington lodge No. 384, and was buried by the order Tuesday forenoon at the Gilboa cemetery in Benton county. Schuyler lodge No. 284, I. O. O. F., and the D. of R. lodge No. 384 I. O. O. F., of Remington, celebrated the seventy-sev-enth anniversary of Odd Fellowship in the United States, last Monday evening, by giving a supper in the commodious building of John F. Major on south Ohio street. They also rendered a splendid literary program, which had been properly prepared, at their lodge hall and the G. A. R. hall. There was a great number of the brothers and sisters present, together with many families of Odd Fellows, and all had an enjoyable time. There were many present from a distance.

Our Methodist brethren will give a May school again this year from May 4 to May 8, inclusive. Thomas Harris, our real estate man, was in the north part Jasper county last week looking after his real estate interests. Mrs. Meighan, a widow, has just received a pension from the government, allowed on account of the death of her late husband Jno. Meighan. Her first voucher called for $298. This will prove a great blessing to her, as she has a large family of very small children. The pension was secured through the agency of Ira W. Yeoman. Commencement exercises will be held in the M. E. church next Saturday evening, May 2. An excellent program has been arranged. The address by Mrs. Emma Mont Mcßae; valedictory by M. Charles Morguers; solo by Mr. Frank Hardy; presentation of diplomas by Prof. Wm. R. Murphy; benediction by Elder Carson.

in practicing for their field day sports. Our fellow-townsman, Henry Welsh, Esq., is devoting* much of his time to the improvement of his farm in Jordan township. He is putting in a great deal of tile this spring and otherwise improving his excellent farm. Mr. Brand, one of our blacksmiths, and Mr. Samuel Bow tman, one our tile men, spent Sunday last in Jordan township at the home of Mr. Brand’s father. The schools of carpenter township were all closed for the present term last week. The term was a little more than eight months.

Lewis Griffith and Miss Agness Lintner spent Sunday in Porter county visiting relatives. Henry M. Stanley and family have moved on the Wake wood farm north of here. Elam Stimson says that a small brown bug is eating the leaves and blossoms all off of his strawberry vines. Hay promises to be a good crop in this locality this season. Oats looking fine. Wheat and rye seem to have been winter killed, and not looking well. Hundreds of acres of corn will be planted on sod in this locality this spring. The Comer Bros., who have been sawing lumber for M. Gifford, have closed their mill till after harvest. Judge Lintner attended the Crown Point horse sale last week, and returned with a fine draft horse.

Mr. Hollister is now located here with a nice, stock of flour, groceries and notions. Give him a call, for you cannot do better than to patronize your home merchant. r

Everybody that likes target practice should use the English sparrow for his target. They are becoming more numerous each year apd our song-birds becoming correspondently scarce.

FORESMAN.

Some of the farmers are planting corn. D. J. Rich, one of Brook’s hustling business men, was in town last week. Come again J. D. The grade at the new bridge is done. Uncle Wm.

Taxation in Tennesse

Editor People’s Pilot:— There seems to be a great rush from this county to Tennesse, quite a number of our people have moved there the past year, several have made large investments who have not yet located, while every week we hear of a new crowd of prospectors off for a look at the country. A majority of those who have returned’ seem well pleased with the state, the climate, the people, and above all with the low rate of taxation. Scarcely has is a man returned from there but what has something to say about the low tax. If any people on earth can appreciate the blessings of low taxes it is surely we poor tax ridden souls of Jasper county. But we do not have to run off to distant Tennesse to find lower taxes than we pay for there are many counties right here in our own state that pay scarcely half the tax we do. If Tennessee would still have low taxation, as an inducement to immigration some steps should betaken by her people to discourage Jasper county republicans from coming into the

state.

Government Land.

Probably the last great chance to secure a quarter section of good farming land under the homestead laws will be at the opening of the Chippewa Indian reservations this spring, which comprises the majority of the land in about fifty townships, and will furnish excellent homes for thousands of people. But little is known concerning this opening by the general public for the reason that Congress wisely provides in the Act opening the reservation to settlement for the publication of the notice of open? ing but two papers in the United States, both of which are near the lands in question. This will effectually shut out speculators and land sharks and gives the bona-fide settler who is informed a much better chance to secure a good homestead An effort is being made to furnish all necessary information to all honest intended settlers, which can be obtained by addressing at once.
