REMINGTON ITEMS.

was quite a reunion at the Lally mansion on Saturday and Sunday last. The veritable P. H. himself, Mr. Catt of Fort Scott Kansas andjMrs. Geo. Robinson of Rensselaer, father and sister of Mrs. Lally, all arrived on Saturday last. By some 'oversight we omitted to mention at the proper time, that Jasper Guy had been admitted to die bar, but such is the case. He was admitted severalr weeks agq. Our schools will close May 4th with rather a large Inumber of Graduates. We had excellent schools here this winter, in fact we neyer have had any other kind. Mrs. John Randall and Miss Alice o,L Greensburg, Kansas, arrived last Friday, for a six weeks visit with parents and friends. They report the season as much more advanced in Kansas, than with us. The receipts at the Easter’entertainment given by the Presbyterian ladies were something over 877, Truly the ladies of that church know how to manage entertainments and make them successful in every way. f Mrs. J. D. Mason has been dangerously sick during the past week, but was getting better at last acpoUnts. During a recent visit to Chicago Mr. .P. Hopkins purchased as a birthday present for his daughter Mabel, a handsome piano, of excellent make and tone. J. E. Stiller of Fnglewood, HL spent several days in Remington last week and the early part of this week. Mr. Stiller is a wide awake business man, a staunch republican and as a matter of course being a republican it follows without saying; that he is a good man generally. An educated Indian lectured in Exchange Hall two evenings of last week to large audiences, and better lectures haye seldom been heard here. He placed the Indian question in a new and entirely different light and ’’gave our apathetic people something to ponder over. There is no use- in trying to dodge or evade the question, the government has {not dealt fairly with the aborigines.

The quarterly meeting services and the Easter service called together large epngregations at the M. E. chui'ch last Siuulay morning and evening. The 8 school was also well attended, 13ff being present. Dr. J. L. Smith, the venerable P. E. of this district preached in his own inimitable way, in the morning, and in the evening the service was conducted by the S. school assisted by Dr. Smith and Mr. Millicent of Indianapolis. Mr. Millicent has a voice of wonderful power and compass which he is always ready to lift up to aid any good cause. The pastor of the church, Rev. E. B. Woodson is always an able general in all departments of church work, and never more so than on this occasion. Sickness is decreasing somewhat, that is those who have been sick {are getting better. Among those who are convalescing, more or less slowly, may be mentioned Mrs. G. B< ClarK MrSv Q, B- McIntire, Mrs. J. D. Mason, Mies Mamie Turpin and M aster Henry Wells. The election passed off quietly, but there was more or less wire pulling among the friends of the different parties. The result is is not yet known, at least to your correspondent.
