Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 September 1881 — Remington Items. [ARTICLE]

Remington Items.

Dear Republican:—ln spite of the oppressive heat we will try and send a litile letter. The fair, with all its dust and discomfort, is over and done with. We had a pretty good fair, notwithstanding the extreme heat and drought. The display of fruit and vegetables was really creditable, “considering,” as Mrs. Pipchin would say to little Paul Dombey. The ladies, too, were on hand with quite a showing of fancy needle work, jellies, cakes, bread, canned fruit, etc. But we had almost forgotten the horses, the main feature of the fair. We cannot write enthusiastically of the races because we are foolish enough and unsophisticated enough to feel a pang of pity for the poor dumb creatures as they are driven and goaded to unnatural around the hot, dusty track. Tne premium stock was really beautiful and made quite a good display as it'was led around the ring. Several of the Rensselaer friends graced the grounds with their presence, but it would take too much-time and too much space in your vaiuable paper to try to mention all of them, and it would look unfair to the many to mention a few.

In our letter of last week (which reached you too late for publication) we gave you the names of many Remingtonians who had returned from tours of health, business and pleasure, but as it would now be news uto longer, we will not repeat it here. Tom Donnelly and John Major got “tickets of leave” from; the Northern Prison and took in the fair. Mrs. Howard, of Monticello, visited friends and relatives in this place last week. Miss Alma Kings-’ bury, of the same place, is also visiting here. .. Mr. David Kaufman, of Kokomo, an old time friend and highly respected resident of this place, made a short visit here the early part of this week. Mrs. Rawles and family have returned to their homo in Bloomington, after a pleasant visit of four

weeks.

We wish every person to try a Big Fifty-Cent bottle of Dr. Marshall’s Bromoline for liver complaints and general debility. It is good. Druggists all sell it.
