REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dear Republican.-- ReAingtoh is just saw suffering from an epidedtia of meafrles. Scarcely a family hat. been exempt from sickness ia some form. The Public Schools reopened this Monday morning, after a week's vao&tion but the attendance is so meagre that there is some talk of postponing until the sickness abates. Th#fativjly of Hr. J. G. Morris, living near town, aro perhaps the worst sufferer*, Of the six members composing it, not one •sable to wait upon another.' Mrs. Morris has quinsy, Mr. Morris, his son, and three daughters all have measles. Mr. Merris is in a critical condition, and Willie in addition to the measles is suffering from a broken limb, A number of persons have left this burgh lately for tho “land oftUe Dakotas.” Mrs. W. B, Price and Miss Myra 11. Price left last Saturday, and Mr. A. M. Traugh and his daughter-in-law Mrs. M. G. Taugh left on Monday afternoon, Quite a company expect to start on Thursday of this week. Mies Price expects to enter Und have her house built, and some plowing done, and return home in little more than a week, from the time she started. She is taking advantage of the short vacation in the Goodland schools. She will return to Dakota after ljer rchooi- closes for the luor mer.

Business is fairly good especially among physicians and druggists. Real estate i« changing hands, the unoboupied dwellings are fi ndlng tenants and everything points to renewed activity and industry this coming spring and summer. The young ladies of Remington or a part of them, are engaged in relieving the wants of the destitute. It will be remembered that they gave an oyster supper some time ago and with the proceeds eked out by private charity they hare brought comfort and brightness to many dreary firesides. John Phelps of Lincon Neb., formerly of this place, will be borne this week or next accompanied by Mrs.'John Phelps, formerly Miss Anna Dickman of Lincoln. The young couple have our very best wishes. John is one of the very best young men we know of. We did nqt attend the concert given on Sunday night by the R. U. L. S., at the Christian Church, but have heard from some who were present, that it was reasonably good.
