From the appearance of things in town last Saturday evening a disinterested person would say that some kind of a temperance work or reform was needed badly in Remington. It is said that a little boy still in the second primary room of the public school, was intoxioated last Sunday. Remingtonian. The team of fIcT Hall while hitched in front of Dern Bros, grocery on Tuesday last were scared by another wagon in catching on while passing, They up set the wagon and spilled the contents but the danger was very slight.
