Fremont, March 6.-Moving seems
to be the most active industry in Ere
mGnt this week. Several families
are moving in from outside: E. e.
Larimore and J. II. Larimore from
Green Valley, Illinois, and E. West
from Larimors, Iowa. are moving in
and Richard Nash is moving to Os.
ka,oosa. Rev. NJ RS-Regan and fam
lily of the Baptist church are also
moving their goods to Washington
this week, where he has accepted a
call. His work in Fremont has been
decidedly successful and he is leav-
ing the church here in a healthy con.
dition. The family will be remem-
bered as most effective workers and
they carry with them the best wishes
of the entire congregation.
Buys Hardware.
Kamerick Brothers last week
bought out the j. G. Citizens hard
ware store and they are now renovat-
ing the place and adding new equip
ment, fixtures and repainting the in
terror of the store. The stock will
be re-arranged and placed advantage
ously so as to make an attractive and
pleasing display.
Car Shipments.
A. G. Philippe this week shipped
a car of cattle; j. H. Fuller shipped
two cars of cattle and William OAR
ner sent out three cars of hogs and
one car of cattle. Seven cars of
corn also went from the Fremont ele-
vators to Peoria and st. Louis mar
kets.
Only One Pastor.
Rev ]. NJ. Elan has been selected
as the pastor of the Christian church.
Although living in Oskaloosa, he will
maintain services here each Sunday.
AS the matter stands, Rev. ]. W.
Carson of the NJ e. church is the
only resident pastor in Fremont, but
the Baptist people will no doubt have
a new pastor before long.
Change Locations.
Edgar Heath and daughters this
week moved to Oskaloosa and DIR. M.
FOrsythe has moved from the Aker-
man building to his recently pur-
chased property, formerly occupied
by the Cosby barber shop. 1t is re-
modelled and is now quite comfort
able. The Cosby shop was moved to
the beavers Cafe location which was
also fixed up and improved.
Big Stock Purchase.
Thirty-two thousand dollars is quite
a snug sum to pay out in the buying
of livestock, and yet this is what
William Darner paid out in the last
week or so, in this vicinity, among
those who had cattle for sale. Part
of this stock was shipped from Ere
mont, but the most of it was taken
to Ottumwa and shipped from there
TO market. This was done because
of the uncertainty of securing stock
cars at the Fremont stations. Prac-
tically all of the stock was hogs. One
party sold 60 head IN a bunch, an
other Al head, and still another 35
head. The balance was in smaller
lots.
School Election.
Annual school election will occur
March IL to name one director for
three years in place of Guy Roof, a
director for three years in place of ].
W. Dinsmore, and treasurer to sue
coed B. Aldridge.
Church Meetings.
At the business meeting of the
Christian church, aside from calling
a new pastor, Rev J. NJ. Elan of Os.
kaloosa, Frank Davis and George
Roquet were elected Elders, and Guy
Roof, Cleve Clark, William Lynch
and Robert McKibben were elected
deacons; c. Z. Cosby, clerk, and Guy
Roof, treasurer Robert McKibben
was also made q trustee.
From Days of Old.
A so-called Spmster Convention
was held at the NJ. Z. church and a
large array of local talent proved
that they had not forgotten their
school days when they appeared in
plays of various kinds. 1t was a
unique entertainment and the long
