REMINGTON ITEMS.

Go. Superintendent Warren and wife spent Sunday last in Remington the, guests of Ira Yeoman and family, and ex Supt. Nelson and sister. Fourth , passed off quietly. lor some cause or combination of causes, unknown to your the. S. S. celebration failed to materialize and as a consequence many of our country friends were somewhat disappointed. In the evening the fire works and balloon ascension joined to the excellent music furnished by the Remington band, made it seem a little more like a holiday. The Odd Fellows Festival in tho evening was not quite so well attended as it would have been under other circumstances; so many of our citizens having gone to Monticello, Goodland and other towns where there were greater attractions. Never-the-less it was a pleasant affair and reasonably successful pecuniarily.

Rev. E. B. Woodson returned from a visit to his parents in 111. last Saturday. John Burger left for Denver Col. expecting to return with his wife who has been visiting her father, our formei fellbvF'tuwiisman, Mr. Samuel Black. By the way, Mr. Black is making a wonderful record as a market gardener, having sold this season over 2,000 bushels of strawberries and more than S3OO worth of horse-radish roots, to say nothing of other fruits and vegetables. P. H. Lally has secured a pleasant and lucrative position as traveling agent for the Champion Machine Co. He will probably be absent the rest of the summer. C. Long, a shoemaker for many years in tne employ of ,J. K. Bingman is said to be in a dying condition . Hon. Anson Wolcott entertained a number of friends at his handsome home in Wolcott last Monday, among the number were Dr. S. C. Maxwell and family, and Robert Parker and family. At the risk of giving an item that is a little stale your correspondent wishes to speak of the dedicatory services of the Presbyterian church. The sermon was preached by Dr. Allen, of Philadelphia, from the -words; “I will be as the dew imto thee -O Israel.” It was full of beautiful thoughts. It may interest many of your readers tligit the Mary'Alien Seminary in Texas, where Miss M P. Bolles is teaching, was named for Dr. Allen’s wife. To her earnest and intelligent efforts the colored people of the south owe many of their r advantages -and- they j ustly huld ; her memory in veneration, in comi mon with all that knew her or felt ! the effects of words and teachings. JU the evening Rev J. M. Belding, of Pullman, concluded the services assisted by Rev. AYilliam Patton, of Indianapolis, and ll;;v. Pcteis, of Meadow Lake. All the services were good and ~etich one' paid a well deserved respeef rand affection to the pastor, Rev-J. B.'Crowe.
