Dear Bbkbucam.—Although the weather to gloomy, Roomier, gloomiest and enough to obscure even a lively imagination; we will toy and aend a little account of the doings over this way. First of all and last of all, w$ are glad to chronicle the return of many Bemingtonians, who have been seeking health, wealth or ’ pleasure in other places, but have shown by their return that Remington to the best after all. J. H. Tribby, comes back to us I from Covington; Ky., with his family and household goods, also a ' stock of dry goods. He expects to go into partnership with hto | brothers already established in business heW. The M. E. Church of which Mr. T. to an active mem 7 ber and the citizens generally will be glad to have him back. E. G. Cross who has been me- ! andering through Illinois for the p ist year or two, has also returned and pitched hto tent among us ajain. Harvey Hart man has sold his drug store in Fowler and will make his home in Remington for the present at least They, will spend the winter with Mrs. Hartman's mother, Mrs. Church. We hope they will conclude to stay in Remington. Robert Parker expects to move into town this week, occupying the Guy house. We are sorry to say that we are about to lose Mr. and Mrs. Sam. Solomon. They are going to Denver, Col., soon. Mr. Solomon expects to go into business with hto brother-in-law, a wholesale dealer in general merchandise. The popular young clerk, Will Middlesworth, expects to go with them. We wish them all happiness and prosperity. Indications are favorable for a prosperous winter. Business to looking up, every one has employment and all seems happy. The Original Tennesseeans sing here Thursday night.- Our citizens expect a musical treat The schools all opened t<Htoy under the management of Miss Bolles, which is sufflcient to guarantee that the schools will be well conducted. Isn’t it time for the temperance people to be up and doing? The saloons are in full blast and money that should go to feed the hungry and clothe the shivering little ones, is daily squandered for “that which to not bread.” Scenes are drily enacted which are a crying shame to humanity and an offence before God. Let our citizens do something. Mrs. H. T. Howard to visiting friends in Remington.
