PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION.

Mrs. O. C. Dickey is still very dangerously sick. Mrs. Jane Thompson of Monticello, is visiting friends in Rensselaer. Mr. John Parris now counts out the cash in the Citizen’s Bank at Attica. Mr. 8. P. Thompson returned from a business visit to Indianapolis the first of the week. Prof. Palmer, principal of the Monticello High school, visited hie college friend, Mr. W. B. Austin. this week. Fifty-six applicants for teacher’s license were examined at the school house last Saturday by County Superintendent Nowels. The Ladies Literary Society will meet at the residence of Mrs. F. J. Sears, Saturday afternoon, March 10th, 1883. Mr. John Abbett, of Indianapolis, formerly of Rensselaer, is visiting his nephew Mr. Jas. T. Abbett. Dr. W. Stockwell has lately removed from Jordan tp., and [located in Walker tp., where he will still continue the practice of medicine. Mr. De La Matyr is an old acquaintance of the Rev. Peter Hinds of this place, and spent a large part of Monday in visiting the latter gentleman at his. home, north of town. Miss Ella Amos, who had been visiting sister, Mrs. M. L. Campbell, for several weeks past, started for her home at Wabash Monday morning. She will visit relatives at Logansport on the way. Marshal Dickey is doing good work on the street crossings, wid* ening, repairing, and making new ones. He is delayed ip his work considerably, however, by sickness in his family. Mrs. E. P. Honan has gone to Chicago for a couple of weeks. She will visit friends and combine business with pleasure by taking some lessons on the art of millinery from one of the best instructors in the city, and will keep a sharp look out for new points on the Spring styles. We noticed sometime ago that Mr. Thomas Robinson had gone to Indianapolis for the purpose of receiving treatment fora cancer, or some other bad sore, upon his hand. We regret to learn that Mr. Robinson has been obliged to submit to the amputation of his hand. Prosecuting Attorney Walker, who was prevented by ill health from attending to his official duties at the last term of the Jasper Circuit Court, has been doing excellently since, as prosecutor in Benton and Newton counties. His indictments are well drawn, and before a jury he is one of the most successful prosecutors this circuit ever had. > « Mr. Geo. Grauel returned to town |ast week from Kewanna, thoroughly married but not unqualfiedly happy inasmuch rs Mrs. Grauel did not come with him at this time, being detained at Kewanna for a few week 8 attending to business matters of her own. Mr. and Mrs. Grauel will begin housekeeping shortly having rented Mrs. -Crockett’s house near Judge Hammond’s place. Mr. Jay Williams and family have finally come to Rensselaer to stay. Mr. Williams has formed a partnership with his father-in-law Mr. John Makeever, and with him will engage in a general banking business in the room heretofore obcuf ied as an office by Mr. Makeever. t is Mr. Williams intention to erect a dwelling house near M. F. Chilcote’s residence Mi, Williams is an excellent man, and a decided acquisition to the town. We are glad to have him among us.

Mr. F. W. Babcock is again holding court at Kentland, Judge Hammond being still detained by the dangerous illness of Mrs. Malinda Spitler. Mrs. 0. C. Link intends starting for Dakota within a few days, intending to remain there through the summer, to look after the Doctors landed interests. The Doctor will stay and attend to his medical practice in Rensselaer. Whether the white cats will remain with the Dr. or go with Mrs. Link’deponent aaithnot, but we presume that they will understand' their own interests and go with Mrs. Link.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dear Republican.—We thought last week that Spring had surely come ■again. The sun was bright and warm, and a few venturesome blue-birds were hopping and twittering and chirping about as though they knew what they were doing. But alas! and alack! They were only trying to take time by that well pulled forelock. They also were a little too previous, as they had to give up and go back into winter quarters. The teachers and pupils of the Remington High school are anxious not to be misunderstood. The little exercises given in Garfield Hall, each Friday evening are in no sense to be regarded as public enteitainments. It is simply the regular Wednesday afternoon literary work taken to the Hall to give the pupils more time for other studies: the only difference being that a limited number of friends and patrons are invited to be present, for the purpose of encouraging our young friends and to accustom them, in a measure, to speaking in public. No extra preparations are made and no time taken out of their school hours. For our own part, we enjoy these’evenings very much and reel proud of our schools and teachers, severally and especially. We were much pleased with Mr. Hascall’s letter in the last weeks News, particularly with the part which treats of saloons and drunkenness. It has the ring of the true metal and will be heartily endorsed by every good citizen, no 1 matter what his political views may be. The great want of Remington at this time is a good, competent Marshal, one who knows his duty and is not afraid to do what the law requires. There was one needed badly last Friday evening on the stairway leading to Garfield Hall where the yoking hoodlums of our village “most do congregate.” Mr. William Mowrer has been mentioned as a mau having all the qualification s necessary to make a good Marshal and if he will accept the office or nomination we know he will be elected, and the Remington roughs will have' to “look a little out.” The Dakota exodusters are getting ready to move on as soon as cars can be procured. Mr. James Patton and his sister are off this time without any mistake. We gracefully acknowledge the truth of the criticism in last week’s News but reiterate the good wishes made on the “too previous” occasion. Mr. Charles Balcona of Newton Co., (the young gentleman so delicately referred to in “Foxys” letter in the News of last week) was in town again last Sabbath. He and his sister were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Parks. Mi. and Mrs. Ed. Briggs are domiciled at pi esent in the pleasant home of Mr. Durand on N. Ohio street. They 'will move April first into the house now occupied by J. 0. B. McDougle Mr. B. having purchased the property. It is one of the prettiest places m Remington and we hope our young friends may find in it a “nappy home.”

Miss Fannie Branham of Indianapolis is in town the guest of her sister, Mrs. E. Briggs and of her friend Miss Clara V/ Wells. There is some sickness in town but none of serious character. Mr. Charles Shefflerof Hitchcock, Dakota, was inftown the early part of this week, visiting his brother Mr. J. 8. Sheffler. Like all the rest from the “land of tli> Dakotas” he is enthusiastic in his praises of his new home. Our letter ir already too long but we must refer briefly to the obituary of Mrs. M. J. Kirk in the Republican of last week. She was indeed a devoted mother to her children and we do hope that they will make every effort to meet her in that laud where for the sufferings and mistakes and losses of this life we will receive full compensation. Remingtonian. Fine Napkin Soap atLaßue’s. Henrietta cloth. J. V. W. Kirk. Mince meat at Laßue’s, 10c pet pound.

Call and see us, Hemphill & Honan.
