CORRESPONDENCE.

From Remington. Bev. LeMiller occupied the pulpit of the Christian church last Sunday and Rev. Stephenson, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, that of the Presbyterian church. Both preached acceptably and eloquently to good congregations. We regret exceedingly to state the fact that O. B. Mclntire and family are about to leave Remington and take up their abode in Indianapolis. Mr. Mclntire has so long been identified with the interests of the town that it hardly seems natural or right for him to leave us. Wherever he may go we hope he and his excellent family may find health, wealth and happiness. A photographer from our neighboring town of Monticello, will take some views of our new school house and surroundings this week. Bertrand B. Bellows and family expect to emigrate to texas in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Bellows leave many friends in this vicinity to regret their departure and to hope for them unbounded success. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bowman, of Monticello, well and favorably known to some of our citizens, recently received a telegram from Texas giving them the sad intelligence that their only son had been drowned in the Gulf of Mexico. Luther Patton and Merle Fisher, of Purdue University, are at home for the holidays. Bev. H. A. Gobin, D. D., for three years the pastor of the M. E. church in this place, has been appointed Dean of DePauw Tneological University. A good man and an able one in a good position. Elmer Sheetz, of Marshalltown, lowa, is visiting his parents and many friends in this place. The first quarterly meeting of this conference year, took place last Sunday and Monday, the venerable and able J. L. Smith, D. D. presiding. The next meeting of the kind in this place will be held March 14 and 15. The fair and festival given by the ladies of the M. E. church last Saturday, was well attended and well patronized. The exact amount derived from the sale of the different articles is not known to your correspondent, but it was nearly, if not quite SIOO. There are a few handsome and useful articles yer unsold which can be had on reduced terms. Those wishing to purchase will find the goods at the residence of Mrs. J. E. Stiller, president of the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. church. Miss Florence Chamberlain, now of Pontiac, 111.; is spending a short vacation with friends in this place. Mrs. C. P. Hopkins and Miss Grace Hopkins spent a few days with friends in Chicago, returning on Monday. An account of the new industry which will soon be opened up in Remington appeared in the News of last week. We refer to the projected R. R. switch and sandstone quarry recently purchased by Messrs. Smith and Kircher, of Kokomo. Work on the switch, which will leave the main track of the P. C. & St. L, near the property of Mrs. Peter Carmody, will probably begin this week. Lovers of good music and fine acting should attend the cantata of “Jephtha’s Daughter/’ oh Friday evening, of this week, given by home talent, tor the benefit of the Presbyterian church. Miss Maude Lally will personate the character of Iphigenia, the victim of a fath-

er’s rash vow.
