Remington Items Gleaned From The Press.

The editor is still on the mend, but as yet is only able to be up a part of the time. Miss Nettie Price, of Rensselaer, was a guest of Miss Callie Bonner Tuesday afternoon and night. Ed Sutherland shipped two car loads of mules Wednesday to Danville,- 81. We congratulate our ex-Reming-tonians on winning out in the election game at Monticello this week. S. W. Thompson was elected mayor, Fred L. Griffin, city clerk, and Mike Remck, councilman of the second ward. There are a number of cases of scarlet fever reported in the’ county but no new cases in town except the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Walton. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co. has issued instructions to all «employes to see that all inflammable materials are kept away from the elevators and places where food is stored, and ask the co-operation of the public to see that adjacent premises are kept as clean as possible.

Remington surely appreciates the gift. Howard Jones had quite a peculiar happening on Sunday night, which resulted in a serious loss. A straw stack fell over on five hogs and a eow. When discovered on Monday morning, the straw was removed and it was found that the cow and three ofthe hogs were dead. Remington has not had so many empty houses before as there are right now. What’s the matter with Remington, anyway. High rent?
