There is some talk of Remington’s celebrating the 4th this year, but at this writing nothing definite has been done in the matter. It would seem that we ought to have a good rousing celebration here this year and let our neighboring towns know that Remington is still on the map and that “Bob” Parker didn’t get quite all of our money, start the ball to rolling, boys, andshow ’em what we can do when we set about it.
