PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION

Mrs. S. A. Hemphill is visiting friends in Illinois. Remington Fair, the three last days in August. Mr. J. N. Hemphill, the engineer, has returned to El Paso, Texas. The Hon. R. S. Dwiggins returned from his eastern trip, last Saturday night. • Miss’ Eva Fawcett, of Delphi, has been visiting with Mrs. 001. Healey for some time past. Olliver Daugherty went to Valparaiso last Monday, with the intention of taking a course in the Normal school. Miss Angie Doolittle, of Wanatah, who has lately been visiting her friend, Miss Beth Richardson, returned home last Saturday. Miss Madge Osborne came home from Whitehall, Mich., last evening.' Miss Dell Carpenter, of Whitehall, returned in her company. The Misses Gibson, Emma, of Lafayette, and Hattie, of Brooklin N. Y., are visiting their sisters, Mis. F, W. Cole and Miss Ida Gibson. The School .house is novr finished and has been formally turned over to the Town Board. Hr. Fatout, the contractor, made his farewell visit here this week. The report that a prominent but greatly disproportioned couple from Remington came to Rensselaer and were married Sunday, seems to have lacked foundation in fact. Deputy Circuit Clerk Burnham reports that tjie docket of the approaching term of the Circuit Court will be the heaviest for several years. The Valparaiso Vidette reports that Mr. Alva Leonard, who lately visited his friends, Mr. L. L. Daugherty’s people, here, is very sick, b\it does not specify the nature of the disease. A New Store. —-Messrs Ellis and Murray, two young'men from Kokomo, have rented the store room in Leopold’s stone building, and propose putting in a large stock of notions exclusively.

Mr. Ludd Hopkins, the merchant, has greatly improved the appearance of his corner by a tasteful coating of paint upon his store and dwelling, and an elegant iron fence in front of the latter. Miss Myra Price, the teacher, left Rensselaer, for the home of her parents, near Remington, last Monday. She expects to go to the scene of her labors for the next year, at Marion, Alabama, in a short time. Born.— Sunday morning Aug., 12,1883, to Mrs. Ed. Parcells, of Rensselaer, a sou. Monday morning, Aug., 13, to Mrs. A. L. Willis, of Rensselaer, a son. .Tom Coghill, one of the cranky inmates of the County Asylum, became very “ornery” last week, and made such ferocious threats and dangerous demonstrations that. Mr. Phillips, tbe keeper, brought him to Rensselaer, and caused him to be locked up in the county jail. The Misses Bartoo, Lille and Jessie, were in town Monday, making preparations for their residence here for the coming school year. They will occupy the same rooms in Miss Reece’s house on Division street as last year, and will take possession next week, in order to attend the Institute. The Rev. A. W. Wood, the former pastor of the M. E. church, was in town over Sunday, and remained until Tuesday. He preached to a very large congregation in the M. E. church Sunday evening. Mr. Wood has been stationed at Clinton, Vermillion county, during the conference year just closing, and has, we are reliably informed, met with tho most gratifying success.

Another Case oe Insanity.— The mental condition of Miss Mary Gorman was inquired intb by Justice A. H. Woed on Tuesday last, and she was pronounced insane and application made for her admission to the state Insane Asylum. Miss Gorman will be remembered as the young lady who lately left her residence and went to Chicago, during a period of temporary insanity. ,

NEWS FROM WALKER.

Oats and bay harvesting is the order of the day among farmers. Prospect for com is somewhat flattering. J. F. Spriggs enjoys living in a new house. Miss Mary Salrin is the late possessor of a bran new organ. Rev. T. R. Faulkner will deliver his last sermon, at this place, Sunday Aug. 19th. The “smooth dancing floors” in this part of the county, seem to have an attraction the Mr. Francis Marion of Barkley tp. Mrs. S. J. Pulver and daughter, Mrs. Mary Hoag, of Kansas, visited relatives and old neighbors among us last week. The Misses Emma Dumond and Sophronia Dumond of Lowell, Ind., formerly of this place, are visiting their many friends here and in Gillam tp. The girls are welcomed by all who know then.

REMINGTON ITEMS .

**. If we had written last week, we might have written a “chapter of accidents.” There were three runaways, Mrs. Parkers, Mr. Major’s and Mr. Dur and and the accident to Frank Baker at the flax mill, none of them, we aro happy to say attended with any very serious results. There was a quiet wedding in town one evening last week, but a yery “unquiet” time afterward, as nearly all the small boys of the village armed with horns, tin-pans and everything else that would*make a noise, gathered in front of the house and proceeded to “make night hideous” until they were very properly dispersed by the Marshal. It we had been contemplating marriage we would have been so frightened by the din made on that and other 00 casions that we certainly would have backed out and laid ourself liable to a “breach of promise” suit. It would certainly take more nerve than we can boast to stand tnat racket.

SpeakiDg of weddings, there is a rumor to the effect .that a prominent young couple of this place wended their way to the capital of the county last Lord’s Day, and were united in the, supposed to be indissoluble, bonds of wedlock, but as we have not received official notification we forbear to mention names. Dr. Landon and family take their departure for Wabash this week followed by the the good wishes of a host of friends. A rumor, which we hope has its foundation in truth, has reached us, that N.' S. Bates and family will return and take up their abode in Remington, at an early day. Mr. Fagan, the principal of our school, for the coming session, comes highly recommended »s a young man of more than ordinary ability and intelligence. In fact the Remington schools have been very wisoly and successfully conducted during the past years, and we are sure that under Mr. Fagan, tbe school will maintain its well deserved reputation. Everybody is getting ready for the fair. The big potatoes, we suppose are being put aside with great care, tho golden pumpkins and squashes are ripening in the sunshine, (lie kine, swine, sheep, horses and poultry intended to bear away the red ribbon over all competitors are receiving an extra allowance of grain and care, tbe good housewife is looking over her favorite recipes for cakes, jellies, preserves and pickles, altogether, it is a busy time. We liope the Rensselaer people will come over and help us enjoy our good times,
