Remington Kole».

Frank Wolfe, formerly of Remington, now located in Michigan City, visited with Remington friends last week. His wife preceded him, having come on Monday in order to be in attendance on the Odd Fell’s celebration which occurred Monday evening, the 27th ult. S. H. Kuster, lumber dealer, was in Rensselaer last week looking after contract for furnishing the lumber for Sheriff Hanley’s new house. He hed previously sold the bill of lumber being used in building Matt Ward’s house. Mr. Samuel Solomon, a former merchant of Remington, now of Dubuque, lowa, visited ohd day last week with his friends here.

Messrs. Linton & Grof, contractors for the well for Remington’s water works system, commenced ttfeir drilling operations the latter part of last week, and by Sunday they had penetrated mother earth to the depth of 130 feet. They have an excellent outfit for this business and they seem to understand how to use it. The contractors are gentlemen, and attend strictly to business. The crop prospects in this vicinity were never before better than they are, at this season of the year. The oats are simply sip not look any better than they do, and the farmers inform us that there is now more grass in their meadows than there was at any time last year. Many farmers are planting corn and in a very few days all will nave completed their corn planting for this year. Altogether. everything looks to be in splendid shape, and our farmers are correspondingly happy. Miss Alma Babb has'returned home from Chicano where she has been attending a school of pharmacy. Mrs. Graham who has been £o long dangerously sick/ appears at this time to be improving to some extent.

Michael Moriarty, formerly of Jordan township, died at New Haven, Ind., where he had recently moved from Goodland, on Sunday, April 19, 1896. He was formerly well known in Rensselaer, and throughout the south part'of Jasper county. „ George J, Shew, of Kniman, who, previous to last March l lived a short distance south of Remington, was in this vicinity last week. He came attend the celqbratidn of the Odd Fellows, and also to try to purchase a good team of horses. He informs us that he is farming 240 acres of land, and most of this is,-or will be, planted in corn. We wish him success. The Remington Press informs iis that Hon. Robert Parker is a recent convert to the 16 to 1 silver cause. Thus the good work goes on. There has been a slight change in time on the dle railroad of this division The mail and passenger train going east through Remington now passes at 11:58 instead of 11:24 a. m. as formerly. The family of N. Paxton will probably move to Bloomington, 111., in a few days as it appears that Mr. Paxton has located there since he left Remington, and Bloomington will now probably be his home for the future.

Several good houses are being built in Remington. The 77th anniversary of Odd Fellowship in this country was celebrated by the I. O. O. F. and D; of R. of Remington and the surrounding country, on Monday evening, April 27th. The exercises at the lodge hall were highly interesting, and consisted of instrumental and vocal music. Invocation by Rev. E. A. Goodman of Otterbein lodge, recitations, solos, a talk on Odd Fellowship by Rev. Goodman, select reading, and a comedy farce which was quite amusing. All having work assigned them acted well their parts. The room was too small to accommodate more tnan onehalf of those who desired admittance. The exercises were conducted under the able management of Sister Stiller. After the conclusion of the program

at the lodge hall thd brothers and sisters repaired, with their relatives and friends, to the commodio’’ , .s room owned by brother John F. Major on south Ohio street, where an excellent supper had been spread on twq long tables at which 120 persons could be seated. The tables were twice fully filled, and the assemblage did ample justice to the great variety of splendid dishes prepared by the good sisters. The estimated number present was something more than two hundred persons, and all expressed themselves highly gratified with the social eater, tainment, etc, The crowd dispersed at about the hour of midnight. The people of Remington voted for town officers for the ensuing year last Monday. The tickets were republican and citizen’s respectively, a portion of the republican ticket being placed on the citizen’s ticket. The only contest was for the offices of clerk and treasurer, both offices being held by one man. The candidates were William R. Love on the republican ticket and Ira W. Yeoman on the citizen’s ticket. The result was 124 votes for Yeoman and 86 votes for Love, Yeoman’s majority being 38. The election was very quiet, and the full vote of the town was short perhaps forty.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS The questions on the Science of Education and Literature for the six months beginning with thd May examination, will be based on “McMurray’s* General Method” and “The Tempest.” respectively. The books will not be divided into sections as during the past six months but the examinations will be based on the work as a whole.

They will be required to pass examination on the branches they rre expected to teach. • On account of Saturday, May 30th being Memorial Day, the May examination will be held Friday, May 29th, instead., John F. Warren. County Siipt.

FORESMAN. We had a fine rain Tuesday Oata and glass look fine. Some of the farmers are about through planting corn. The'prospect for ,a large fruit crop is flattering if we have no frost. There is to be a social given at Mr. M. E; Timmons Saturday evening. All are invited. Alva Clark and J. W. S. Ulrey drove over to Brook Tuesday evening. L. A. Sunderland and men have begun a barn foi\ John Larence north west of Brook. Lyons & McCabe shipped a car load of hogs from here to Chicago last Tuesday. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can hot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting di.ectiy on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what producet such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Ptoprs , Toledo. O. Sold by druggists, price 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Don't fail to inquire for prices and terms for lots in Leopold's addition; best situated, wider and larger than the lots in any other addition to Rensselaer.

Plowing for corn continues; some corn has been planted in localities. Plowing has been retarded in some localities in the southern por tion because the ground is getting hard and dry, and in Whitley county, in the northern portion, because the ground is too wet.
