By the upsetting of her carriage on Sunday last Mrs. Dr. Maxwell was painfully bruised and wounded her hands especially being badly lacerated. The Camp fire on Wednesday evening last, the first anniversary of the organization of .Remington Post, 74 —was one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given in this place. Many com- J rads from Rensselaer came over and after partaking of the good cheer provided for them helped to make the evening gay with songs and speeches. Our own boys did their part toward making the occasion ohe of perfect social enjoyment ppe Post at this place accepted an .-invitation from the Rensselaer Post to attend a camp fire at the Co., seat one year from that night. Rev. E. B. Woodson preached a sermon on temperance last Sunday night which ought to printed and carefully read by everyboy, ,thos,e who feel an interest in temperance work, and. those who do not. B. F. Butler of Chicago, a former resident is in town. Arthur Sheetz of Omaha is visiting parents and friends in this j plade this week. Another young map from the vicinity of Rensselaer came to Remington for a bride. We refer to Edward E. Yeoman v. : ho was married to Miss Jessie IJ. Draper .at the home of, lipr parents Sept. ■ ; l3 at sp. in., by the Rev. E. B. Woodson. An .acquaintance of several years standing with the bride, leads us to believe that she will make a good wife, and our skill as a .physiognomist- leads us to form a favorble opinion of Mr. Yeoman. • Mrs. Beasley is still seriously sick. Mr. Morey was taken last Tuesday to Mr. James B. Irwin,s five miles south of town where he is . slowly convalescing. M. J. Phelps is at last able to leave his bed for a short time.
