PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION

Mrs. Schench, widow of Wood Schenck, of Dayton, Ohio, is visiting at the home of her relations, the Misses Smith.

Mr. William Abbett, the “Jovial Bill” of days far off, who now lives in Chicago, is passing the Fourth with his cousin, the recorder. Mrs. Dr. ’Hamer attended, and took a prominent part in, the State Musical Convention at Terre Haute, last week. Mrs. Madge Honan is visited by her cousin, Miss Ella Thompson, of Higginsville, Mo., and by Miss Clara Heidelberger, of Chicago. Mrs. G. P. Daugherty has gone to Parke county to visit a brother who is sick. She will visit friends in Crawfordsville during her absence. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Cleveland are making quite an extensive tour in the Western country. When last heard from they ware in Minnesota.

Isaac V. Alter has got his sawmill set up and in operation at the old place in Union township. He also grinds corn and chop feed every Friday. Judge Hammond is in Monticello this week, attending to some court business for Judge ’ GouldHe will not go to Indianapolis but once or twice more until after the hot weather. Miss Ella Green, a native of Jasper county, but now a resident of St. Louis, Mo., and traveling agent for a paint and color company of that city, is in this place visiting old friends. Hardman, the jeweler, has just had the ceiling of his store decorated for the summer, in a beautiful manner. Jake Eiglesbach’s butcher shop has also been flowered out in the same manner. A special meeting of the Ladies Literary Society is by order of the president, for Thursday, July, 12th, at 2 o’clock p. m., at the residence of x the Misses Smith, on thqNorth Side. The Bev. Gilbert Small, of the Presbyterian church, is a hard and zealous worker. On Sunday morning he preached in Rensselaer, in the afternoon at Bowling Green school house, and in town agaid in the evening.

Dr. H. Z. Leonard, chairman of the State committee of the Nation* al Greenback party of Indiana, in a letter to Dr. Samuel Ritchey, requests all Greenbackers, and especially the county National committee to meet him in Remington, on Thursday, July 12th, for a conference.

Mr. W. I. Florence, formerly of Barkley township, but now associ-ated-with his brother, A. F. Florence, in the practice of law, at Delphi, called upon us Monday morning. The Florence brothers are certainly prosperous, and as they are readers of The Republican, it is safe to assume that they are also wise and bappy.

The Students: Miss Ora Thompson came home from Ann Arbor last Friday evening, and Elmer Dwiggins a dayi or two earlier. Jay Dwiggins also got home from Orchard Lake, .last week. Belos Thompson is taking quite an extended trip in the Eastern States. He will visit points in New York and Massachusetts, and will probably go to Old Orchard Beach, in* Maine, before his return.

County Superintendent Nelson attended the State Association of County Superintendents at Indianapolis, last week, returning to Rensselaer Friday morning. He reports that it was a very interesting and impoitant meeting, and attended by nearly every superintendent in the state. He was impressed by the large proportion of young men among the superintendents. A majority of them being, considerably under thirty. Mr.. Nelson himself, who is but 23 years of age, was the youngest member,, with but one exception.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

The excursion rates offered by the R. R. companies are taking many of our citizens away to spend the “Glorious Fourth” elsewhere. There is nothing of special interest here on that day unless it may be the entertainment given at Yeakel's hay barn, by some ameteur acrobats of the village. Last Sunday, July Ist, was a beautiful day, and our churches were well filled, the Methodist church especially. The exercises were very interesting, both morning and evening. At the conclusion pf the morning service, eighteen persons were taken into the church, three by letter, two on probation and thirteen by expiration of probation. Jimmy Peck, who was seriously hurt by falling froin the hay loft, to the floor of the barn, is much better.

Two new arrivals in town since our last letter, both daughters. One at the hbme of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Yeakel and the other may be found domiciled with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Tribby. Miss Charlotte Gilman, of Homer Hl., is the guest of Mrs. Wm. Shaw. Miss Alma Babb and Mr. John A. Clark, left on Monday to spend a few days with friends In Indianapolis. James B. ShaW, es Lafayette, is the guest of his aunt, Mrs. M. Solomon. Nettie Chamberlain, of Normal Hl., is visiting Miss Flora Hart. Mrs. lona Willetts, of Columbia City, Indiana, is spending part of the summer with her mother, Mrs M. Poole and other friends in this place. Remingtonian.

Important to Teachers.

The County Superintendent’s Association, at Indianapolis, last week, under the provisions of the new school law, adopted the following rules in regard to the graduation of teachers licenses: “A license for six months shall be granted on a general average of 70 per cent, not falling below 60 per cent, in any of the eight statutory branches, or in theory of teaching. (This is the same standard as heretofore fixed by the association.)” “A license tor twelve months on a general average of 80 per cent, not falling below 65 per cent. In any one of the eight branches, or in theory of teaching or Success.” •‘A license for twenty-four months on a general average ot 90 per cent., not falling jelow 75 per cent in any of the eight bi anches, or in theory of teaching or in success.” “A license tor thirty-six months on a general average of 95 per cent, not fking below 80 per cent, in any Jof the eight branches, nor below 90 per cent in theory of teaching or in success.” Special scale for teachers iu graded schools of cities anc( towns: “The same general averages shall be required as set forth in the general scheme. The minimum for any study shall be 20 per cent, lower than for other licenses. Theory of teaching, and success shall bo marked on a scale of 200. No person shall be admitted to the benefits of this scale, except on presentation of a written request from a town or city school board, with a statement that said board desires to employ said applicant for a certain grade, named or described. Upon the license issued to such applicant, the county superintendshall state the grade or kind of work for which such applicant is licensed.”

It is in the power of the intelligent people to moke every home paper, when wisely established, good by proper patronage and encouragement. No man who owns a house or a farm, or who claims a residence in any locality, but is pecuniarily benefltted by having a well conducted homo paper, giving all the local news. It is entirely safe to say no man gets as much of real value for the same amount of money as he gets in his* paper, costing less than the price of a single cigar or a-mug of beer.— “Inter Ocean”.
