Remington Items

The exercises were ve; y interesting and probably were enjoyed better than the lengthy ones in Chicago. The town schools assembled Tin the school house yard where an interesting program was carried out, and the township schools under the supervision of Trustee W O. Roadifer, all gathered in the Fair Grounds where the same program was given with & few extra speeches and recitations. It was a beautiful and touching sight to see so many children saluting the flag of opr country and,one they will always rcuu.iihti. They fra« photo, raphtd while their hands were uplifted in salutation.

He awoke just after it left town, and running to the rear end of the car he jamped off, and as a result one leg was broken between the knee and the thigh and his face and hands badly scratched and cut by the coal cinders that are strewn along the track.
