Remington Notes.

A. D. Babcock of Goodland was in Remington last Monday looking after some business in? which he had an interest. John Ade of the Discount and Deposit bank of Kentland was in attendance at the assembly meetings at Fountain Park a portion of the time during the assembly, as were also a goodly number of other worthy citizens of Kentland and vicinity, among whom we mention Bro. Kenoyer and family .from North of the river, who camped on the Park grounds." The recent action of the peoples party at St. Louis convention in nominating Wm. J. Bryan and Thomas E. Watson as its candidates for president and vice president, meets with the general approval of our peoples party friends in this locality as well as does the action at the same time and place of the silver party. Our democratic friends are also well pleased at the outlooks for the - election of Mr. Bryau, and a lower house of congress to back him up. Our esteemed friend Mr. Dominic V. M. McGlynn, has purchased the block of ground owned formerly by Wm. E. Seymour in the south pa£fc of town. This is a beautiful tract of Real Estate and will make Bro. McGlynn a first class surburban home, as he intends to build thereon in a short time. Mr. McGlynn secures the entire bl<*;k of twelve lots which is included for the consideration of *BOO. We have quite a number of former republicans in this place and vicinity who will this year vote the silver or bitmatallic ticket. We are pleased therefor at the political outlook. It seems that the time has now arrived when the American laboring man and father can assert his rights and when the same will avail him much. If they do not do so they are certainly great chumps. We have however great contidance in their good judgement and believe they will do the right thing. The recent rains have made the dirt roads quite muddy, and in many places they are almost impassible. The worst trouble about these rains is the damage it has done and will continue to do to our oats crop where it has been cut and much is either in shock, or lying scattered about in the fields, and already and should the wet weather continue the crop will be entirely lost. The hay crop has also been greatly injured by this extreme wet weather, even where it has been stacked in the fields. The prices at which our farmers will be obliged to sell their damaged oats, certainly makes most of them f«‘Pi very blue. The Christi'in meetings held at • Fountain Park" for the ten days succeeding Tuiy 17th closed last Sunday evening with an excellent discourse by Bro. B. B. Tyler of N«w York. Bro Tyler preached tvv’ce each day during the entire time of the assembly, aud every discourse that he delivered was replete with sound logic. Those who failed to hear him missed a great treat in the way of useful, practical religious information. The other ministers in attendence, were all men of practical experience and it is believed that much good will result from these meetings. The rains interfered very much with the success of these meetings yet taken as a whole while some jdavs the attendance was not ;so large as could have been wished, -the assembtey may be considered a success, and its future is now established beyond a doubt.
