Remington Record Items.

Mr. Will Cotton is in Ohio visiting friends. Walter Railsback is able to be on the streets aga’n. Mr. J. Misner is making preparations to move to Illinois. Jim. Goldsmith returued from a visit to Kentucky, Monday night. You can’t find but two or three constitutional loafers in this place. Mr. John K. Stout returned from a visit to Pennsylvania last Saturday We have already done several dollars worth of work fur the Agricultural Society. Mr. Will Coover is teaching the department vacated by Miss Mary Jones, in the graded school. Mr. P. R. Hooker intends moving to Page county, lowa, this week. His farm has been purchased by Mr. Wm. Virgil. “Gracie,” is the name chosen by Mr. Jouvenat for his daughter. A pretty name attached to one of the finest little girls in Remington. Mr. C. R. Donnelly and wife, of Wolcott, and Charles Teagarden, of this place, left hero last Wednesday bound for Teres. We are sorry to lose Charley, as he is one of our best young men. Almost every team that comes in town departs with a load of lumber, which testifies that O. B. Mcl»tire-& Co. have been selling large quantities of land, whereon the purchasers intend erecting houses this summer.

J. S. Irwin, Tres-surer of the Union Agricultural Association, is desirous that every man who is delinquent on installments, will come forward and pay up, as the Association have a payment to make on their land, the Bth of this month. Finley Andrews intends to leave Remington next week, and take up his abode in Chicago. He has made many friends in this place by his close attention to business and sociability. In whatever business he may engage, may luck be with him. A little brother of Wiley Pierce, aged fif* teen years, walked from near LaFayette. about 38 miles, last Monday, to this place. Considering the icy condition of tbe ground, we think the young man aocomplished a very difficult feat of pedestrianism. Two weeks ago yesterday, Mrs. Clark, wife of G. B. Clark, received a dispatch that her father was dead, at Mystic Rivers, Connecticut. She started for that place Friday evening, and arrived at her destination Sunday morning. The same week Mr. W. Tallman received a dispatch to attend the funeral of bis mother, who resided in tbe East. During the month of January the shipment of grain, hay and stock from this place, was as follows: Grain—276 car-loads; hay —l6 cars, nnd 15 car-loads of Stock. For February, 100 car-loads of. grain, 16 of hay, and 28 of stock. This would make an average daily shipment of 2,000 bushels of grain, or very nearly that, which we think cannot be eclipsed by any town, the size of Remington, on the P., C, & St. Louis Railroad. The Good Templars Lodge of this place never was in -n more flourishing condition than at present. With a very little more exertion and energy on the part of the leading members, we can have one of the best Lodges west of Logansport. There is one thing in this connection we notice in this place which we do not like f the Good Templars receive very little encouragement or aid ■from outsiders who pretend to be models of morality and goodness. But Remington Lodge I. O. G. T., is smoothly traveling through all difficulties and opposition, and is rapidly gaining a strength and influence that will secure for it a foothold which cannot be easily broken.
