Remington Items.

GLEANED FROM THE RECORD. O. B. Mclntire has bought Robert Parker’s brick residence on Ohio street. The Remington young ’a lies have got “shingle-my-hair’’ on the brain, and now il the young men would part their hair in the middle what a contrast it would be. Mr. A. L. Morris received a dispatch yesterday, from Chili, Miami county, stating that his mother was dead. Mr. Morris prepared to leave on the 9 o’clock freight, and waited at the depot, but tbe train did not stop at the platform, and he was obliged to wait until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. We learn that Robert Parker intends to move to Indianapolis in a few weeks. He is one of our best business men, and s man of sterling qualities. We hope the time will not be long ere Mr. Parker will return to Remington again. The railroad company loses the most efficient agent it ever had, and Remington a citizen whose loss will be deeply felt. We wish him success. GLEANED FROM THE GUARD. Mr, R. Ralph met with a painful accident on last Tuesday night, which came near proving fatal. While attempting to cross tbe track while a train was standing on it, be fell from a flat car, injuring himself badly. We are glad to learn that his injuries are not fatal and that he is improving finely. One hundred thousand bushels of corn were shipped from this place during last month. This is four thousand bushels per day for every working day in November; or ten car loads per day of four hundred bushels each. It is estimated by Charley Hartley, our live grain dealer, that five hundred thousand bushels of corn will be shipped from Remington during the winter. “How is that for high!’’ These are facts, and we invite enterprising capitalists and purchasers of property to think on these figures,— Put them in your pipe and smoke them, And then in your night cap and sleep on them They will comfort you if you own a dollar's worth of pioperty in this county. One million bushels of com will be exported from this point this year, at the least calculation. This is no blow, but an absolute fleet. Hon. Anson Wolcott is putting np the largest grain bouse between Logansport and Peoria, and no doubt will be the means of building up his town faster than any enterprise ever started. We.have » “fellow feeling” f>r our sister town, and trust it will soon share some of the rich profits of our grain producing country.
