COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.

t.EMING TON ITEMS. Election to-day, (Monday), but as the fate of the nation is not trembling in the balance; not much feeling is manifested. . Miss M. P. Bolles, who has been spending the past few months with friends in lowa, will return on Wednesday; in time to be present at the graduating exercises of her old pupils. The ladies and gentleman from this place who attended the Sunday School Convention last week, wax enthusiastic when describing their enjoyment of the exercises and of their visit generally. We received irq.iTuo season, a programme of a celebration at Miller, Dakota, in which C. H. Price, of Renssmer„lndiana, is mentioned as Orator of the day. We know the oration was a good one. . Mis. E. H. Graham left for Crescent City, 111., last Monday. She expects to return on Wednesday accompanied by her father and mother, the latter of whom is an invalid. ;.Tbey will spend the summer with Mr. and Mrs. Graham. During the incipient cyclone of.last Thursday night a number of our timid fellow citizens lied for safety to that “haven of refuge”, O. B. Mclntyre's cellar, which is as nearly Cyclone proof as it is possible for a building or excavation to be made. S. P. Bolles, formerly a well known and prominent citizen and business man of this place, died very suddenly at his home in Delphi last Tuesday, of paralysis in the heart. He was still young and many friends here will be sorry to hear of his early death. It is thought that the burnt district will be rebuilt, or partially so, this spring and summer. We understand that Mr. Burger and Mr. Clark both intend building business houses soon;: Mr. Burger on the Hathaway corner and Mr. Clark on the site of his old building. ? Tasteful programmes are out for the commencement exercises of the Rem. ington public schools. A class of ten will graduate, seven of whom have finished the entire course of study. The programmes premise an intellectual treat and are fine specimens of E. 11. Graham’s skill as a typographical artist. tBF.MINSTONIANt -fr— *H —I* -Xr.r/S.+- -M- —+•
