From Remington.

Miss Florence Chamberlain, who is learning stenography and typewriting, reports a splendid time in her pleasant location, which is in Pontiac. 111. Her brother, with whom she is malting her home, is superintendent of the public schools of That city. Mr. Macy, of Kokomp, came to investigate the trouble with the school house furnaces. Alter some changes they were found to work satisfactorily. Rev. W. H. Kearns and Rev. Mr. Scott, both of McCormick Theological Institute, Chicago, will fill the pulpit of the Presbyterian church each alternate Sabbath during the winter. Mr. Kearns is well and favorably known here and Mr. Scott comes well recommended. Rev, J. T. Greenway, of the M. E. church, and Mr. Spangler, principal of the public schools, are established in pleasant rooms in Mrs. Durand’s house on X. Ohio street. The ladies of the M. E. church will give a dinner and supper in Durand Hall on Thanksgiving day. The modest sum of 25 cents will include the admission and pay for a first class dinner and that is cheaper than to eat dinner at home. The principle topic of conversation at present in Remington is the new source of revenue which is being developed herp. A bed of sandstone of fine quality has been discovered on the farm of Mr. M. F. French, suitable for making glass. A sample was submitted to the glass manufacturers of Kokomo, who pronounced it of excellent quality. Negotiations were then entered into which resulted in the sale of part of the land to the glass company at S9O per acre. The right-of-way has been secured and surveyors are arranging for the construction ot a switch out to the quarry. The work of grading and preparing the track, we underaftsad will be commenced at once. The entertainment to be given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church has been postponed to a later day, owing to a more elaborate p ogram than was at first contemplated. Thanksgiving services will be conducted by Elder Le Miller, of the Christian church. Mr. Robert Shearer will start at an early date for another voyage across the “briny deep.” He goes j to Belgium and lovers of fine horses j may expect to see some handsome ] animals when he returns, which ! will be in about three months,‘ wind and tide being favorable. * !
