Remington Ifotea.

Married, at the residence of Robert W. Irwin, south-east of Remington on Thursday, May 27th, Mr. Levi Whitmoyer of Noblesville, Ind., and Miss Celia Irwin, daughter of Mr. Robert W. Irwin, Rev. W. R. Mikels officiating. Mr. Whitmoyer is a well-to-do farmer living near Noblesville. The bride has been teaching school in Carpenter township for several years past, and is one of our most excellent young ladies. The best wishes of this entire community are extended to the happy couple; may prosperity always attend them. In our last we mentioned that in our opioion a wedding was on the tapis, and we are now at liberty to chronicle the event which occurred at the residence in Remington of Mrs. Emery. The high contracting parties being Mrs. Emery and Mr. Jasper Guy both of Remington. The wedding occurred at 10 o’clock a. m., Thursday May 27, and the ceremony was solemnized by Rev. S. V. McKee of the Presbyterian church. The happy couple set out on their wedding tour, and will visit friends and relatives while they are away. May peace, joy and happiness forever be their lot. Remington will give an illuminated bicycle parade and entertainment on the evening of Saturday, June 6th. Everybody with his or her bicycle is cordially invited to be present and participate in this entertainment, which, at present, promises to be a grand affair. Goodland, Wolcott and Fowler will be well represented here on that occasion, and Rensselaer with her many wheels and splendid riders should certainly avail herself of this opportunity to exhibit what she can do in this line. There will be several prizes given to winners in this parade, and the immense crowd which it is anticipated will be present will be entertained besides the parade with an excellent dispfey of fire works, which will be exhibited from the roof of D. W.. Green’s stone and brick building, corner of Ohio and Railroad streets. It is said there will be about 8100 in tire works exploded on this occasion. Let everybody come and partake of this amusement. Decoration day was properly observed here last Saturday. It was said that there was a greater concourse of people here and participating than on airy former like occasion. There was probably three thousand people in town that day and most went with the procession to the cemetery, which was led by our band immediately followed by the old soldiers and they by the Sunday school children of this town and township, all of whom carried a small Hag, and large flags and appropriate banners were interspersed all along the line. The weather was quite threatning and after the decorating services at the cemetery the audience was dismissed to meet at Exchange Hall where many of them did, and listened attentively for about three quarters of an hour to an able address delivered by Capt. Ralph W. Marshall of Rensselaer, Ind. After this address the large crowd dispersed to their various homes “knowing that it was good that they had been there.” We see it reported in several different papers that Horace E. James formerly of the Rensselaer Republican now of HainI mond, Ind., is a candidate for the nomij nation by the democrats of the 10th disi trict for representative in congress. Oh no, Horace we hardly think the dem- , ocratic party will so far forget itself, as to do a thing so foolish as that. We rather guess not, especially the democrats of Jasper county. And say, would it not be an exhibition of “immense gall” to ask the support of democrats of Jasper county. It is now said that the well drillers have succeeded in obtaining a sufficient 1 amount of good pure water for our contemplated water works system, and that they will at once put in a pump in order to test the quality and supply. It is to be hoped that there is a sufficient supply, as drilling is a rather expensive luxury at 81.75 per foot. Ed Maxwell's dray team ran away last Friday morning but they did no damage aside from breaking the coupling pole, and spoiling the horses.
