Biddle and Levi Hawkins, two of Remington’s most prominent citizens, were over today conferring with our people in regard to the electric railroad. They are strong workers in favor of'this route and moreover have a good deal of faith that the road is sure to be built. Moreover they know that if built at all it will be on this line,, if Rensselaer people do their share. Mr. Biddle really lives in Benton county, though near Remington and has taken great part in working up the interest in the road in that county, and matters there are in most excellent shape. A route has been seclected and agreed upon clear through the county, survey money raised and right of way secured. As an instance of the intelligent appreciation the large landed men of Benton county have for the benefits of such a road, we mention the case of Lee Templeton, who offers the right of way for a mile and a half, and will give SI,OOO in money, besides. “The Railway Mail” of Chicago now appears with the name of our townsman, A.

His first run was from Rensselaer to Delphi, succeeding Henry Purcupile. Later his run was on the Michigan City Division, but for about 15 years he * 0k has been on the Chicago-Louisville route. • After so long a time in that arduous and dangerous service, it is no wonder that he has sought a change of Vocation.

The sub-contractors on the waterworks building have sent a man back to patch up the broken places in the roof. Whether it will now pass inspection is a question, however. It is mmorecj that John W. Swan and Leroy Templeton will blow the breath of their isms into the Toiler, and reVive that paper

which contained more idiosyncrasies and theories contradictory to the practices of the editors than the hair on a dpg’s back. —Oxford Tribune.

A prominent society woman in Atlanta has started a crusade against so much kissing back and forth and around and amongst the young rntfn and maidens of the South. It has got to be a very common practice, according to her, and the “abuse is on the increase.” If we “were as young as we used to be,” we wouldn’t go to Klondike, but we might dig out for Dixie. Wm. P. Hopkins, our respected deaf-mute townsman whose terrible accident by being run over by his wagon, on Tuesday Feb. Ist, is familiar to our readers, lingered until today, when at 11:30 a. m. he passed away, at his residence on Weston street. He was thought to have suffered greatly since his injury, although when asked if he was in pain, he always said, no. His final end was entirely painless.
