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.
