W. S. Grant is not in as serious a condition of health as was upd*rstood and reported to the Republican last week. He is able to get up and dress himself every morning and also to be about the house and yard almost every day. He was 83 years of age, the 25th of last October, and while he has been in a failing condition of health for several months hi is not especially in danger at this time. Ernest Maxwell, wife and baby were here over Sunday from Dunkirit, visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. tL C. Maxwell. Ernest lives on a farm just a mile from Dunkirk and reports that his spring work is well advanced. Himself and wife and baby left hdine Friday and spent that day visiting titM sister, Mrs. Jesse Pfirdtitir, and husband, who just moved this spring from this county to near Forest, Clinton county.

Wolcott, Remington and Goodlanff have all been saloonless for the most of the time for the past two years. The postofflee business of each town has been sufficient to cause the salaries of all the postmasters to be increased. It would seem that general business has not been injured by the absence of saloons, thus refuting the argument that some people have put up that saloons are necessary to the commercial prosperity of a community. Rev. Q. H. Clarke has been called, to Williamsport to deliver the funeral* discourse over the body of Dr. W. R. McCullough, of that city. Rev. Clarke Was pastor for four years of the Christian church at Williamsport and Dr. McCullough was a member of his congregation. Dr. McCullough was about 4$ years of age and the cause of hja death is not known here. He was a brother of the McCullough who has purchased the Remington Press. The funeral will be held at Williamsport Tuesday.

Wednesday morning at nine o’clock at the home of the bride in Remington occurred the marriage of MfsA Mabel Lambert to Nelson Boieourt, formerly of Wolcott, but who for some years past has been engaged in the lumber business at Beech Grove, Ind. The wedding guests were confined to the members of the two families and a few of their moet Intimate friends. Rev. Lookablll, pastor of the Christian church officiated. After the ceremony a dainty four course wedding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Boieourt left for Beech Grove Wednesday on the noon train where they will make their future home. The parties to this union deservedly possess a wide circle of friends who predict for them a wedded life filled with happiness, contentment and prosperity.—Wolcott Enterprise. f » " - * <*■ j 1 The present supply of gold io the government mint at "Denver Is $370,000,000, the greatest amount on. record.
