REMINGTON ITEMS.

[Omitted Inst week.] Dear Republican.— Winter is upon us since we wrote with all its beauty of snow and sunshine and music of jingling sleigh-bells and also with all its bitterness for those before whose doors the wolves are howling. Qualify it as we may, sing as we will of the beauty of frost and snow, an/ijdazzling winter sunshine, we teel that one line of the old poem is right. “Tis a most bitter lot to be poor when it snows” We do not think that these words will apply to many in Remington, as business seems fairly brisk, and work abundant, bnt there are those in our laud to whom our Thanksgiving and Ohrstmas merry makings and feestings are but idle words. May the Lord remember such with compassion. Late Dakota papers give the particulars of a terrible murder and suicide at Miller Hand Co. A man norned Wolfe was shot in Prdetor’s gulch near Wessinglon by a young man named Macomber. When the sheriff (W. B. Price,) went to arrest him he put the pistol to his own temple and fired before he could be prevented. He oiedin thirteen minutes. He was but 22 years old, the son of wealthy parents in Otawa 111. The W. C. T. U. is pushing on the good work in this place, in every possible way. They get discouraged sometimes when they see the magnitude of the work and the feebleness of the workers but soon tally and “take heartof grace” when they remember that “the race is not always swift nor the the battle to the strong.” Miss Clara Y. Wells is spending a few days with friends in Mouticello. The engagement and notice of the approaching marriage of Mr. E. H, Briggs and Miss Rene Branham is announced in the Indianapolis Journal. Mr. Briggs is the well know and popular young druggist of the firm of Briggs and Butler and Miss Branham will be remembered by many of our citizens as she visited her friend Miss Clara Weils last summer, spending some weeks in this place. »She is one of tne loveliest young ladies in Indianapolis. Mr. O. VY. Knight, we are happy to state, has come back to Remington to stay. Miss Marne Hollett left for her home iu Kokomo last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Campbell celebrated their crystal wedding Monday ni lit.
