George Moorhead’s s'x eeks old child died last bunday morning. The luneral was preached

Monday morning at the Christian church by Rev. Carson. The interment was made in the cemetery at Remington. Rev. Grilles read an editorial on vjie Cretan-Turkish war last Sunday evening at the Presbyterian Church. It was said by those who heard ic to be very good. \ Mrs. J. U;- Moorehead has been quite sick sikee last. Friday, at her home on North Ohio Street. She is subject to fainting spells, one of which she had at that time and from which she recovers very slowly. There is a petition being circulated here asking tha P. C. C. &St L. Railway Co., to put on their State Line division two Sunday trains. One to leave State Line early in the morning for Logansport and the other to leave Logansport in the evening for the State Line. If the company should do this it would enable our people to get Sunday recreation, and we could also then have Sunday papers like the balance of the civilized world. There is an effort being made along the line in this direction, and we trust the efforts will prove to be successful. The public highways in this locality have apparently been worse here this spring, than at anytime, in the recollection of the writer. It has simply been impossible to haul any loads of any kind, except on the gravel roads, and not much is permitted to be hauled on them during such times, for the reason that it ruins the roads, and is prohibited by “the statutes in such cases made and provided,” which we think is highly necessary and proper. Hon. D. U. Patton of Woodward, Oklahoma returned to

Remington last week for a short stay. He is baying a car load of cattle which he will take with him on his return in a few days. The cattle ai’e for breeding purposes. The Doctor is looking exceedingly well. -SThis is the first spring, we have had for several years, in which there has not been some oats sowed in the month of March. There was none sowed in that month here this year. The farmers are generally late in getting into their fields this spring. The spring it appears has been extremely backward when it‘does come we hope it will be here to stay for all are heartily tired of so much cold weather.
