PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTIN.

Miss Ella Amos, of Wabasli is visiting her sister, Mrs. M. L. Campbell in this town. Mr. James H. Honan, of Lafayette, has been visiting his brother, E. P. Honan, for some days, S. P. Leatherman, of Cass Co., Missouri, is visiting his brother-in law, W.H. Legg. The Ladies Literary Society will meet at Mrs. F. J. Sears Saturday afternoon January 13th. O. K. Ritchey has the eleventh responsiblity;. but responsibilities rest lightly on a good humored manlike Os. There are about fifty men at work in Keener township on the ‘Three I” rail road. That company means business. Miss May Miller passed the holidays with her friends here, but returned to Terre Haute last week to resume her studies at the State Normal. Miss Hattie Coen is attending a course of music lessons, at Logan sport under Prof. Giffe, both voice culture and instrumental. The Presbyterian Social Will be held this week at the l esidence of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Nowels, on Friday evening. Mr. Zimri Parris is now visiting friends at Union City, and other points in Eastern Indiana, and in Ohio. He will return to his Dakota home in a short time.

Major Bitters, of Rochester, Ind., who was editor of The Republican, for some months previous to July 1880, lias just started a new paper, “The Tribune” in Rochester. Dr. H. E. Pattison and Mr. Holsinger, of Winamac, were the guests of Dr. Washburn, Saturday and Sunday. They were heie in attendance upon the organization of the new rail-way compauy. Elder D. T. Halstead, who had been absent for some weeks, conducting a series of meetings in Blackford County, returned home sick, the first of the month, and for some days was seriously so, but is now able to be about. We regret to learn that Mr. J. G. Kerr, son-in-law of the Hon. G. 11. Brown, of this place, is lying dangerously sick from hemorrhage of the lungs, at Orovide, Calfornia, to which place he went with his bride, last fall. Dr. Horton, the dentist, was explaining to a young lady, the other day, the benefit to be derived from having'certain teeth removed as her jaw was not fully developed. A friend standing by, said: “Doctor, you never heard her jaw, or you would not say that.” Edward Wodiska, who lately performed in Rensselaer in “The Spy of Atlanta” a|d Enoch Arden, was in town Sunday night and took the ‘early train for New York, where he expects to obtain an engagement in some theater company. He has wearied of the “starring” business. Wm. A. Phillips of Rensselaer, is now engaged with Col. Field in the Spy.

A Steam Flouping MIH.

There is some prospect that Rensselaer will soon have a large steam Homing mill. D. J. Girton, an energetic young man from Shelby viile, has visited this place several times for the purpose of looking up the prospects of the enterprise. Hrs last visit was made the ixrst of this week, and befere leaving lie made a definite proposition to erect a mill, to cost riot less than $i 0,000, provided the citizens of the town will donate the site and SI,OOO in money. The mill is to be completed by October next, or the SI,OOO will not be asked for. An earnest effort will be made to comply with the tertpa of Mr. Girton’s proposition, and, inasmuch as a large steam Homing mill is a much needed institution in Rensselaer. we greatly hope that it may succeed.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dear Republican. —Affairs in our village are moving along as quietly as usual. The holiday festivities and merry makings are over and done with and peace and good will are supposed to prevail. The old Hathaway building was destroyed by fire early last Saturday morning. Origin of fir§ unknown, but supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Mr. C. C. French, Editor of the Brookston paper, gives his uncle M. F. French of this place and the other singers for the Union Christmas tree, also Mr. Coover general manager, quite a well merited puff in his paper. Rev. W. H. Vance, of the M. E. Church, read one portion of the laws of our commonwealth to the young hoodlums who make the service of God a mockery. We are glad to know that Mr. Vance has the nerve to talk to them as he does and lay down the law before them. We are sure that, in the years to come, they will thank him tor teaching them at least the ordinary rules of courtesy. Cora Eckles, a beautiful and interesting little girl, about eight years old, died in this place last Friday of membranous croup. “Of such is the kingdom. Will Morris, one of the scholars in the public school, was seriously hurt on Wednesday of last week. While playing with some boys in the hay barn hoisting themselves with the ropes and pulleys, he, by some means, lost his hold of the rope and fell a distance of fifteen feet breaking one of his legs above the knee in two places. We are sure, from our personal knowledge of the teachers, that they give all possible attention to the moral and physical well being of the pupils under their care, but pupils will sometimes go astray in spite of warning and admonition.

The week of prayer is being observed by the M. E. and Presbyterian societies, the latter meeting at the houses of the members. There have been several accessions' to the M. .E. Church with a prospect of increased interest. Mrs. W. Draper was called to Fort Wayne on Monday by sickness in the family of her sister, Mrs. Enoch Cox.

The friends of Elder Huston, pastor of the Baptist Church in Goodland, will be pleased to hear that he was kindly surprised by a call made by his congregation, who presented him with a lot of silver ware, and many other good things. Many of our citizens received cards of invitations to attend the golden wedding of Mr. and Mr 3. H. M. Babb, of Dechert, Tcnn.. on Jan. 15tb. The aged and highly esteemed couple are well known in Remington and Jasper county, having been residents of the county for many years, andjunte hosts of friends, all of in congratulations and beaC Wishes for continued happiness and prosperity,, that the sixady side may be as bright as the sunny side of life, and that the declining years may be as full of joy as were their early years of hope.—“ Remington News.”
