From Remington.

The series of meetings in the M. E. church are still in progress, with an increased attendance and interest. Six persons united with the church last’ Sunday, making about fifteen accessions during the past three or four weeks. The pastor Rev. J. H. Worrall is a man of great earnestness and force of manner and will no doubt lead many into the “better way.” Messrs. Rich and Hawkins, .two of our best men, will go into business in Hammond in the near future. We hope that they may be abundantly successful, yet we hate to give them up. They will not probably 1 move their families up there at present. Hon. Robert Parker came home Friday evening to spend Sunday with his family, returning to Indianapolis on the early train Monday morning. - ■ -J Mr. Hawkins and his family, Mrs. W. H. Coover, Miss Nichols and Miss Mary Johnson, partook of turkey and other delicacies with Mr. Jerome Biddle and family last Saturday. Txaughand Sons are putting up 1 ice of a fair quality this week. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rich, visited friends m Remington recently. Mrs. Rich remained a week after her husband went back to his business. . The memory of man goes not back to the time when there was a more beautiful winter. The weather at this writing is warm and bright and the roads are in splendid condition. , We understand that Mr. Simmons , has been offered a handsome price for his land near town by some parties interested in the sand and gravel '• contained therein. A number of charitably disposed persons visited Mrs. Naomi Hunkins last Saturday night, taking with them many useful and acceptable presents. Mrs. Hunkins has long been in ill health and for the past two months has been confined to her bed. Her condition is almost hopeless, but the kindness extended to her last Saturday night has done much to cheer her up. The creamery is now almost an assured fact. About $3,800 of the required sum has been promised and the remainder can doubtless be secured. Mr. Lockwood, of Tippecanoe county, is working the matter up with much energy and zeal. Samuel Cambe is still very low.in fact his condition is such that his death may occur at any time. Remingtonian.-
