From private letters received from some of our Bloomington students, we find that they are not only doing good work, but are a credit to Remington. Mrs. Ralph Bruster’s aged father is lying hopelessly ill at her residence north of town. Martin Gibson, who was here to attend his mother’s funeral, returned home Sunday noon. The juvenile choir, lately organized at the Christian church, for the evening services is an immense success. These young people sing with a precision and spirit that would make many an older ehoir proud to attain.

Mrs. Vickery and son returned home last week. She has been in Chicago since the opening of the World’s Fair. She and her daughter, Miss Theo, will soon make an extended visit with relatives at a distance. Mt. L. Black, of Denver, Colo., died very suddenly at Sheldon, Thursday, of hemorrhage. Mr. Black was well known in this vicinity, having formerly resided here. He came here a few weeks ago for a visit with his sisters, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Burger, and while his death was very sudden, it was not entirely unexpected, ns he has been in poor health for some time. His wife and one child survive him. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. McKee from the residehce of Mrs. Parker, Monday, at 2p. m.- His father, S. M Black, of Denver, attended the funeral.
