REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dear Republican.—lt is a bard matter .to collect ones thoughts with the. thermometer way down out of sight but .we will do the best we can. If this Arctic wave is good for nothing else it is good for the ice men. Our enterprising fellow citizen O. B. Mclntire is filling two large buildings with ice as clear and sparkling as crystal. It will look much better to us next July, and we will more fully appreciate it, than we do now with the thermometer 21 degrees below zero. Mrs. W. B. Price is visiting friends in Fort Wayne. Mrs. J. S. Sheffler is visiting friends in Kankakee and Manteno Hl. Mrs. E. H. Briggs is visiting her parents and friends in Indianapolis. She is expected home this week. Harvey Hartman steps lightly now for fear he may arouse his little daughter. She arrived last Friday night. 1 Miss Lottie Church, who has been attending the college for young ladies iu Oxford, Ohio, is at home for vacation. Mr. and Mrs. N. S. Bates, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wishard, of Rensselaer made a short visit to friends over here. As they came in a sleigh across the country we understand they suffered seriously with the cold. Mrs. Frank Shaw and her son, Robbie, are visiting friends in Remington.. John El-win and Fred Hoffman left this place Monday morning to seek for wealth and pleasure on the plains of Nebraska. We hate to see so many good young men leaving us, but all the same, we hope their quest may be successful. Mr. A. M. Traugh and Mr. Nelson started for the “Everglades of Florida” on Monday morning, Air. Traugh went in persuit of health, not having fully recovered since his serious sickness* last fall. Mr. Nelson goes with the view of purchasing z land if he likes the looks of the country. The very interesting series of meetings at the M. E. Church conducted by the pastor Rev. W. H. Vance closed on Sunday evening. Ii is the intention however to have meeting twice a week hereafter, on Wednesday and Friday evenings, Baptismal and sacramental services were conducted in a solemp and impressive manner by Elder Cissellast Sundaty who preached two beautiful and powerful sermons. Many codveite have been added to the church but as 8 majority of them had already been christened only eight received the rite of baptism. Remingtonian.

Passing Away.

To The Republican. Passing away is written upon everything here in this world of ours. Even the snow “the beautiful snow,” that so recently changed the external appearance of Mother Earth, has shown itself to be rio exception to this rule. Man, himself, who grows up to manhood in about 21 years, becomes a tower of strength, intellectually, or a monument of ignorance, to be shunned by the good, cavoriA around this mundane sphere, about three score years and ten, and then he passes in his checks, or in other words, he, too, is passing away. So, too, is the splendid pile of wood that I secured, last fall, at ar cost of $3.50 per cord. Snow may, and will melt and pass away whenever the mercury gets above 32 degrees FMierenheit — Man dies a natural or is hung by order of Court and is then buried out of sight by his fnends; but it is different with a pile of wood; it will claiftleetinely march off in the night time. In other words, it moves like great armies, in the night, under the cover of thick darkness—when good’ men sleep, and when the law abiding are wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Thus passeth away my wood pile. Oh! wood pile stay a little longer, tarry with me a few months, and then I do not care a nickle. < .. • * *
