Reming, Notes.

The Remington Fair closed last Friday. The weather during the entire time of the Fair was exception ally-fine, and the Exhibits were up to the usual standard, The racing of the variocs horses was said to be good, but from the financial point of view, as we predicted in a former communication, the fair was not a success for two reasons, first: because the farmers were behind with their threshing and other fall work, and second: because of the very low prices oats, corn and other money produce, the people had no money to spend this year in amusements. The money is not to be had owing to its extreme scarcity, and it will never be better so long as this country remains under the English single Gold Standard system. Oliver B. McGutire, formerly of this place but now living in Indianapolis, is in Remington this week visiting his many friends here, and looking after some of his business interests. Mr. McGutire says that Mr. Bryan will easily carry Indiana for the presidency at the November election. Grandfather John F. Green died at the age of 84 years, at the residence of Mr. J. H. Alman in Remington, last Sunday morning. He was the father of Mrs. Allman, and has several Grandchildren living in Remington. Mrs. William Coover of Rensselaer, is also a granddaughter. His remains were taken to Ligonier last Tuesday morning for interment by the side of his wife, who preceded him to

the other shore several years ago. He has a son living in Ligonier. Dr. M. W. Reyle, who has been very sick for three or four weeks, is still lingering along in a critical condition. He is 85 years old and the chances for his recovery seems very doubtful owing to his extreme age and his enfeebled condition. His wife was buried here about three years ago. Clevie Yeoman, whose sickness was mentioned last week, is still quite sick, but his condition at tnis time is somewhat improved. His disability is pronounced to be a species of Ma larial fever by" his physician, Dr. Pothnisje. The weather is gradually growing colder, so that we may now soon expect frosts. The nights are getting uncomfortably cool. Frost now would not do any material damage to vegetation. Corn being nearly out of the way of it.

Grandma Bedford passed her eightieth birthday anniversary last Sunday, and was honored by the assembling of her descendants, who were waiting for her when she returned from worship. She presided at a grand banquet and the day was most pleasantly passed., In another place in this paper the advertisment of a firm announces that their eastern principals refuse to place any further loans on farms until the financial policy of the government has been settled. This should be enough to open the eyes of every thinking man to the fact

that the capitalists of the east are in a conspiracy to intensify the existing depressing conditions, and that even the treasonable act of cornering the money of the country and obstructing business will be resorted to in order to defeat the will of the people.
