REMINGTON ITEMS.

There is not much of public or gen* eral interest to chronicle, but we will try and get up some kind of a letter, hoping that you will pardon us if it is composed principally of personals. The services at the M. E. Church last Sunday were very interesting. The pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Mr. Bruner of Fowler who preached two able sermons. The music was delightful, especially so for the Sunday school service when Mr. Will Shepherd accompanied the organist, on the oornet. The Sunday school is steadily increasing in numbers and interest, as also is the church. Three persons reo’d the rite of baptism, one by immersion and two by sprinkling. Two were reo’d into full connection and one united on probation. Next Sunday Dr. Cissel and Dr. Gobin will both be present. Dr. Gobin was pastor of the church iu this place for three years and the members are looking forward to a grand v and happy reunion next Saturday and Sunday^ The wet weather interferes somewhat with the harvest work of the farmers, but tho corn and growing grain gives promise of an abundant crop. There will be a vast amount of hay cured in this region if tho weather will only bo propitious, as it is, we are a little dubious. C. P.
