From Remington.

Dkab Republican : We will have time to write but a very short letter owing to press of business—in fact we have no news with which to fill- a longer letter. The many friends of C. P. Mitchell will extend their hearty congratulations to him and his bride. We hope they may be happy and prosperous, ahd finally be “gathered to their fathers full of years and of wisdom.”

Miss Lizzie Phelps returned from Terre Haute Normal School last Saturday evening. D. M. Nelson also arrived by the saine train from the same seat of learning. We understand that it is Mr. Nelson’s intention to remain in Remington until September when he will go to North Salem to take charge of the schools of that, place. Band boys’ festival thia (Tuesday ) evening. Hope everybody will have a good time. We are making preparations for a good time over here on the fourth —the glorious fourth. The eagle w’U scream, that grand document, the Declaration of Independence, will be read, a feast will be spread in the grove, “men with banners and music” will march, fire crackers will snap, the small boy will be in his and everything will be lovely—if it don’t rain. Next week perhaps we can send a programme of the expected “doings,” the names of’ the orators, etc. 3-2-9..
