REMINGTON ITEMS.

The excursion rates offered by the R. R. companies are taking many of our citizens away to spend the “Glorious Fourth” elsewhere. There is nothing of special interest here on that day unless it may be the entertainment given at Yeakel's hay barn, by some ameteur acrobats of the village. Last Sunday, July Ist, was a beautiful day, and our churches were well filled, the Methodist church especially. The exercises were very interesting, both morning and evening. At the conclusion pf the morning service, eighteen persons were taken into the church, three by letter, two on probation and thirteen by expiration of probation. Jimmy Peck, who was seriously hurt by falling froin the hay loft, to the floor of the barn, is much better.

Two new arrivals in town since our last letter, both daughters. One at the hbme of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Yeakel and the other may be found domiciled with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Tribby. Miss Charlotte Gilman, of Homer Hl., is the guest of Mrs. Wm. Shaw. Miss Alma Babb and Mr. John A. Clark, left on Monday to spend a few days with friends In Indianapolis. James B. ShaW, es Lafayette, is the guest of his aunt, Mrs. M. Solomon. Nettie Chamberlain, of Normal Hl., is visiting Miss Flora Hart. Mrs. lona Willetts, of Columbia City, Indiana, is spending part of the summer with her mother, Mrs M. Poole and other friends in this place. Remingtonian.
