Coover and Mr. Balthis the Merchants Carnival bids fair to be one of the best entertainments ever given in Remington. As the pro= ceeds are to be devoted to the public good, it is to be hoped that there will be a full house. Remember the time and place. Durand Hall, Thursday evening, May 1. Your young people would do well to come over and see how an enter-

tainmentis managed in Remington. It is said that the lately patented cai’ starter or pinch bar, invented by Mr. Ezra Bowman, of this place, will bring the lucky and .worthy inventor both fame and fortune. Those who have examined the invention, who are competent to judge, are unqualified as to their opinion of its merits. It will, undoubtedly, meet a long felt want among men or corporations that have heavy weights to move or handle. Allen Mason, w r ho has been in Kankakee during the winter, is home on a visit. Dr. Hatch of Goodland, was in town last Wednesday, called here to consult with Dr. Landon in the case of Mrs., J. E. Stiller whose condition is such .as '"to give her many friends much uneasiness.

Dr. Ramsey of Wolcott spent Sunday with friends in this place.
