Williams, who resides at Bellefontain, 0., is vkiting with family of his brother, J. W. William. Dr. English responded to an urgent call from Wheatfleld on Monday to consult in a professional way. * A list of well people would be easier to compile than of sick ones, so general is the grip and other disorders. It is surprising what a “wee bit of a thing” can accomplish. Sick headache, constipation, dyspepsia, sour stomach, dizziness, are quickly banished by DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. Small pill. Safe pill. Best pill. A. F. Long. Lex Fisher, of Remington, Wm. Penwright and John Mitchell of this city are off this week on a prospecting tour to Tennessee.

Fire Sale of Millinery.

Mrs. L. M. lines will close out all of her millinery saved from the late fire at the lowest prices ever offered in Rensselaer. All of her summer goods were burned but a portion of her new and seasonable goods were saved. The goods are not damaged other than what would naturally result in the confusion of so hurried a moving. Bargains on every article. Everything must go before the arrival of her new stock. In the Nowels house block.

Duvall-Braginton.

We clip the following from the South Bend Daily Times, the groom being an old Rensselaer boy; Mr. Samuel H. Duvall and Miss Mary J. Braginton were happily married Monday evening at 8 o’clock, Justice Whitcomb tying the knot in the presence of a few friends of the contracting parties. Mr. Duvall is a well known contractor of the city, and both he and his bride have many friends who will join in wishing them much joy in their new relation. They will commence housekeeping at once in their pleasantly furnished home at 528 Michigan avenue. It is of course a great evidence of prosperity in a country like ours to record each week extensive real estate transfers. But if attached to each of these transfers were the records of mortgages due which forced the same, it would relate a different tale. Yet it is supposed that readers in other localities will not know the meaning of such experiences, but in that you are mistaken, for the entire country is making transfers on exactly the same basis, forced tranters, for the reason that the lands cannot produce sufficient to pay interest and a decent living for a landlord and tenants. We read of a sale of an 880 acre ranch for the sum of 835,000. Big transfer, but go back a few months that same

tract had been bought by some one who thought he could use it profitably, gives it up, and the papers are made out to another but it scores a ‘Teal estate transfer” and the mystifying process goes merrily on. Why does ligitimate business consist of eternally fooling the other fellow?

Births.

Feb. 26, to Mr. and Mrs. Dike Nichols, a son. Feb. 28, to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Trodd, a son. Feb. 27, to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stone, a daughter. Feb. 25, to Mrs. Sarah Platt, (widow of late Robert Platt) a son. Feb 26, to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hurley (sex not given.)

Jersey Bull For Sale. Twenty Dollars buys my thoroughbred yearling. Marion Adams.

Torturing, itching, scaly skin eruptions, burns and scalds are soothed at once and promptly healed by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, the best known cure for piles. A. F. Long. While returning from a chariviri one night last week Charles Prill near Reynolds accidentally shot William Krintz. It was the same old story—thought the gun was not loaded. The ball struck just above the temple and striking the skull glanced upwards; had the bullet struck an inch lower, it would have caused instant death.—Monticello Democrat.

Jerry Mattix tracked a fox last week until he found that it had taken refuge in the ground, ho set a trap for it and every other way for it to escape; on Wednesday morning he found the fox in the trap, set another trap in the same place, and the next day the trap held a skunk, the fox and skunk having been inmates of the same nest. —Headlie Cor, Monticello Democrat. Sort of a republican and gold democrat combination as it were.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction Oity 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption. tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wohderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at F. B. Meyer’s drug store. Regular size 50c, and SI.OO.

The legislature has passed a bill extending the term of the pi-esent township trustees to 1900. Just what reason there w T as for it is not disclosed except that the majority of the trustees of the state are now republican,and they were afraid they would not be able to re-elect them in 1898. White county has three demo crats who will profit by the extension.—White Co. Dem. Try once more, and teli us if the biennial settlements, in your opinion, were not of more consequence than fears of re-election? This thing of requiring banks to produce funds on deposit by trustees, and on which interest is paid, tends to, er, kind ’o disturb confidence, as you might term it. State of Nebraska with its out-going treasurer, by way of comparison.

In Memoriam

Died, at his home in Kankakee Township, King De Armond. The circle is broken—one seat Is forsaken.— One bud from the tree of our friendship is shaken — One heart from among us no longer shall thrill With the spirit of gladness, or darken with ill. Weepl—Lonely and lowly, are slumbering now The light of his glances, the pride of his brow. Weepl—Sadly and long shall we listen in vain To hearthesoft tones of his welcome again. Give our tears to the dead: For humanity’s claim From its silence and darkness is ever the same; The hope of that World whose existence is bliss May not stifle the tears of the mourners of this. For, Oh: if oue glance the freed spirit can throw On the scene of its troubled probation below Than the pride of the marble—the pomp of the dead— To that glance will be dearer the tears that we shed. t As a cloud of the sunset, slow melting in heaven, As a star that is lost when the daylight is given. As a glad dream of slumber, which wakens in bliss, He has passed to the world of the Ifoly from this. He has passed:—but oh sweet as the flowers that bloom * From lowly dwelling—the dust of his tomb — The charm of his virtues, as heaven’s own breath, Shall rise like an incense from darkness

and death.

Curfetc Ordinance Asked Eor.—Ball Team Organized.—Arrivals and Departures.—Other Items of Interest

Charles Dluzak residing four miles north-west of Remington buried a little two year old child in the Catholic cemetery near here last week. The funeral was held from the Catholic church of this place. The death was caused by fever.

Rev. W. S. Peter of the Presbyterian faith moved with his family last week to his farm near Monticello. Rev. Peter had lived for many years on his farm in Gilboa township, Benton county, which he sold some time ago, and bought his present home. He had administered to charges in Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Montgomery and White counties for many years past. Himself and excellent family will be greatly missed from Remington and vicinity. There are petitions being circulated here, asking the board of town trustees of Remington to adopt a curfew ordinance. We are of the opinion that this should be done without delay, as this town has many young people who should be kept off the streets at unreasonable hours of the night. As it appears that parents are lax in their control, of their children some other authority should be called to enfoi’ce the objects of this law. We understand that Mr. A. M. Coen of Illinois will soon occupy the Lally property on South Ohio street. Mr. Coen owns a good farm near Remington, and near the county line between Benton and White counties. We are glad to welcome Mr. Coen as one of Remington’s citizens.
