REMINGTON.

Ernest Fisher, of New Mexico, is visiting his brother, Lex, and other friends. Mrs. Mose Sigo went to Lafayette Thursday for a few days’ visit with her daughter. Miss Hazel Reeve returned home after several days’ visit with her uncle’s family. Opal Thomas and Pearl Lilves returned Friday from attending normal at Terre Haute. Mrs, Warnock and daughter returned Wednesday from a several weeks’ stay in South Dakota. Mrs. John Douglas is now slowly improving, and hopes of her entire recovery are entertained by her family. Mr. and Mrs. George Griffin went Tuesday for a weeks’ stay in Michigan, where they will visit among former friends. Claire Broadie went to Lafayette last week where she has accepted a position in one of the department stores. Miss Nola Grubb spent Sunday with her mother. She is employed by F. L. Griffin at Monticello in his restaurant. Work toward straightening the grounds at Fountain Park has been under way for some time, and they are looking very nice now. Mrs. George Hopkins and friend came from Rensselaer Monday and took the train here for Goodland for a short visit with friends. Miss Minnie Weppler left for her home in Gilman, 111., Saturday evening, after a couple months’ stay with her sister, Mrs. Guy Julian. AH three churches closed for the assembly. A special effort is being made to make the union Sunday school there a grand success. People have already commenced to move out to the Park and it has the looks already of a little village. Not a single cottage remains for rent, we understand. O. P. Taber spent Sunday at his home, but left Monday again. His wife will remain some time in their home here, possibly spending the remainder of the summer in town. Rev. Lookabill’s mother and brother spent Sunday and the first of the week with him. He returned to his old home with them Wednesday for a few days’ visit. W. W. Reeve and family came Sunday to stay until the Park Assembly is over. Robert Reeve came with them for a few days’ visit with his cousin, Ernest. Miss Anna Cheadle returned Friday from Valparaiso, where she has been attending school. She was accompanied home by her school chum, Miss

Faun Sharp, who will spent the summer vacation here. Ezra Whitehead and family took Walter Johnston to Oxford Sunday, where he took the train to Decatur, 111., on a busines trip. They made the trip in the latter’s automobile, Mr. Whitehead driving it back Sunday evening. Mrs. Tom Johnson still continues very low at the time of this writing, and small hopes are entertained of her recovery. Her son reports that it has been over thirty days since she has taken any nourishment. She says she will eat when she gets hungry. Rev. J. R. Servies, who has been the United Brethren minister at Gilboa for the past two years, went Wednesday to the conference of that church at Veedersburg. He does not expect to be returned here as he wishes to go to school this year, and he cannot do so and preach here. The Rich and Harrington elevator was sold last week to A. E. Malshury, who is now conducting the same line of business at New Richmond. Mr. Malsbury will move here as soon as possible, and give his entire time to this place, having purchased the former residence of Walter Rich in the deal. Mr. Malsbury and wife are fine people, and we welcome them to our midst. William Ullery, who was sent up to Prison North at Michigan City from Flora about a year ago because he had been stealing chickens, walked away from that institution Saturday without permission. All police officers have been notified of his escape. He had been made a trusty and broke his parole. Oxford is billing Rensselaer and surrounding country for the ball game between their team and the Wrens next Sunday. The bills say: “The Wrens believed they were invincible until our mighty hitters got at them. This will undoubtedly be ffhe greatest game ever played on the Oxford grounds. A thousand people will see it in addition to the unusual spectacle of a special excursion train to accommodate fans from Rensselaer and the north country. Come and see the national game by these teams." The Republican la headquarters for fine Job printing.
