Remington Items.

Rev. Austin of Rensselaer, delivered an able discourse at the Christian church last Sunday afternoon, to a full house. James Welsh, a former teacher of this town, was seen on our streetsJMpnday. The war spirit of town of Remington, will compare favorably with any town of its size. Many of our young men have decided to go to the front in behalf of Cuba Libre, and to avenge the destruction of our battleship Maine and her excellent seamen upon the next call of the President sot more troops. George Winters, who has been dangerously ill for the past four or five weeks is not improving as his friends would desire to see. Our merchants complain of business being very dull about town which doubtless is occasioned by the farmers being busily engaged with their spring work. The boys of the Remington High school are making thorough preparations for the coming Field Day sports at the close of the term. Edward Warren and family of Rensselaer, were the guests of Ira W. Yeoman last Saturday and Sunday. Claude Townsend and ’ Steve Yeoman are the proud possessors of new 1898 bicycles. Els worth Shroer, Chas. Elmore, Chas. Murphy, Simon Marquess, Joseph Keeley, Harvey Stoudt and Chas. Pefley, and others of Remington’s young men have gone to Monticello to enlist under the President’s first call for troops and if they are accepted will proceed at once to the front. There is no division in the mind of the people of the United States on the great question of war, which now confronts them. They are all patriots. This is as it should be. In union there is strength. ! Truth and Justice-
