Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1881 — From Remington. [ARTICLE]

From Remington.

Dear Republican: —After an interval of two or three weeks we Bgain resume our pen (leadpencil) to try and give you some news from this part of the “moral heritage ” We feel strongly tempted to draw upon the imagination to invent some startling story and send it over to you as news, but early training and a decent regard for the safety of our own soul will prevent us. It may interest the friends of Remington whom Thb Republican reaches, to know that “all is well” with us. Crops are planted; weather is favorable; business brisk; health good; houses are being rennovated and beautified and everything seems to indicate that this will be a year of general prosperity and happiness. v Since we last wrote our town has been favored with visits from several denizens of Rensselaer whom we will always be glad to see over this way. We cannot recall all the names bat prominent among them are those of Misses Della and Rilla Cotton, Lola Moss, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Powell, Mr. Warren, Mr. C. H. Price, Dr. Owens, Mr. Marshall, of the Republican, and many others. The popular young druggist, Billy Butler, has brought his bride to this burg. We hope their stay in Remington may be happy and long continued. Mrs. Harvey Hartman, of Fowler, spent Sunday with her mother Mrs. Church. D. M. Nelson, of this place, has been appointed or elected principal of the school at North Salem. We congratulate the good people of that place on their good luck in securing such a worthy and able principal. I Little Blanche Burger was taken suddenly and dangerously ill last Thursday, during her mother’s absence in Chicago. A telegram brought her to the bedside of her sick child who is now much better. As the mail trains nre something like time and tide, waiting for no man, this letter must be brought to a close. Three-Twenty-Nine
