Haying is still in full blast. Wheat and’ Rye sowing about done. Halleck. Bros. are cutting and pressing the hay on the Selleck ranch. Isaac Sell is going to finish that part of the work left by Joseph Tanner, in the Tanner ditch. We would like to know what brings George Hinkle to Moonshine whenever John Knight’s folks have a lady visitor? Mr. Sayer & Son have had a large force of menworking in the hay-field through July and August, and are not near done yet. Quite a number of our people have been sick lately. Mr. and Mrs. Hanley and Mrs. Geo. Meyers being among the number. Some of our people made a visit to Halleck Bros, haying camp, located near the Kankakee river, in Newton county, and went fishing on Sunday.

OLD IRONSIDES.

From Remington. Mrs. Kenyon, of Fowler, is visiting many friends in this place and vicinity. Miss Agnes Nelson and her neice, Isabel .White, will leave this week for their future home, in Chicago. Miss Fannie Hawkins, one of our most estimable young ladies, will leave on Thursday to attend school at DePauw University. Miss Hattie Chappell returned last Friday from a pleasant visit with Friends in Bloomington, Crawfordsville, and other parts of the state. The public schools will open next Monday and teacheis and scholars will probably do good work during the coming winter. All the schools in this township are now in working order, some of them beginning two weeks ago, some one week ago, and some this week. Cumberland Gap is the name of the paper lately started at the town of the same name in Tenn. The veteran editor, C. P. Hopkins, was until recently the editor and publisher of the Remington News. We wish the new venture, its editor and his family abundant success and prosperity. Miss Flora Hollett left on Monday morning for that grand seat of learning, DePauw University, where she will take a thorough course of instruction in art, music and English literature. Miss Flora is a young lady of well known talent and will doubtless make a splendid record. The young ladies society of the M. E. church, known as the W. W. or Willing Workers, will give an entertainment on Thursday evening, in the old school house on Ohio street. It is novel in character and will probably be amusing; and as the proceeds are for the benefit of the church, it is to be hoped that it will also be profitable. It is called an Egg Shell Carnival. The many friends of Mr. Robt Parker over this way, fully indorse all the kind things said of him in last week’s issue of The Republican. You may search the length and breadth of the land, but a better man than Mi. Parker cannot be found in. her borders. If he becomes our representative, as he surely will, we may rest assured that our interests are in safe and competent hands. Messrs. Smith and Keitcher the well known contractors were m town the early part of the week looking after their interests here. The machinery at the sand pit not working to their entire satisfaction will be taken out and replaced with new. It is their intention, if the indications are at all favorable to bore for gas in the near future, and if they succeed in finding it Remington will have a boom. Through the efforts of Messrs. Smith & Keicher and others like them Indiana is fast becoming a great manufacturing state. They have recently purchased 1300 acres of land at Jonesborough and leased 1000 more, and will at once erect a factory for the manufacture of rubber goods where two hundred men will find employment. Harry Calvert Hollingsworth, a lad twelve years old, was instantly killed last Friday morning, by falling under a passing train, upon which he was attempting to climb.. Two cars and the coach passed across his abdomen, almost severing his body in two. He was tenderly carried to the home that he had left but a few minutes previous, full of life and vigor, and the grief of the parents when the sad burden was brought in may be better imagined than described. . The funeral took place from the M. E. church on Sunday morning, Rev. J. L. Greenway officiating, and was attended by a very large congregation. The following young gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: Bert Stiller, Fred BuigeV, Harry Walker, Frf d Bowman, Frank Peck and Bert Tedford. Twelve little boys, members of the 8. 8. class, to <which Harry also belonged, walked in front of the casket as ateo did the I. O. O. F. of which his father is a member. A long line of carriages and friends on foot followed the remains of little Harry to their last resting place ip the cemetery near town. Reminotontan.
