From Remington.

Miss Flora Hollett will return to DePaiiw University this week. Misses Myra and Nettie Price 15BT on Friday last for Montgomery, Ala. Messrs Alford and William Hoover were in town last Sunday evening. Mrs. John Bmgman has been seriously and dangerously sick for the past few days with heart disease. Mr. William Rich and family have taken possession of the Durand property on North Ohio Street. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Peffley of Mrs. R. Hawn’s house; and Mr. Myers .and his mother and sister of the place vacated by Mr. Rich. It is currently reported that the Nowels House in Rensselaer will soon be under the management of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Lally of this place. We can assure the travelling public that they will find in Mr. and Mrs. Lally an ideal host and hostess, with whom it will be a pleasure to board. A. J. Bellows attended a soldiers reunion at Kankakee last Thursday, meeting there some forty of the members of his old regiment. They had a good time around the camp-fire recalling The old experiences. There was a picnic held in the handsome grounds surrounding Mr. G. B. Chappell’s residence last Friday afternoon, the occasion being the seventieth birthdays of two excellent ladies, Mrs. W. H. Shaw and Mrs. W. Myers. An elegant supper was served, and when the shades of evening gathered, the company repaired to the house where some beautiful music was rendered: Auld Lang Syne being one of the selections. The company separated feeling that it had been good to be there.

The Presiding Elder, J. L. Smith held quarterly meeting services here last. The cises were both solemn and interesting. The venerable Elder who has passed the eightieth mile-stone on the journey of life, preaches with all the fervor and eloquence of a much younger man. The gravel road is fast nearing completion, about two thirds or possibly three fourths of the work being satisfactorily completed. School opened on Monday morning last with a full attendance. Teachers and pupils all seemed ready for a good winter’s work and doubtless under the able supervision of Prof- Dickerson and his competent corps of teachers, good work will be accomplished. Mrs. Robert May entertained a pleasant company of friends last Wednesday. It is perhaps superfluous to say that one of the features of the occasion was a grand dinner.

Postmaster IT. H. Walker returned last Saturday, from a two’ weeks absence, during which he visited that historic and memorable place, the battle field at Gettysburg, meeting there most of his old regiment who have accidents of war and the ravages of time. HoVr solemn and yet how joyful these veterans must have felt, when they trod the ground where so many of their comrades fell, and then looked out over a prosperous and united country, made so, by the bravery and self denial of these dead and living heroes. George Htaly and Bert Bartoo spent last Sunday in Remington, renewing old friendships and visiting with relatives. G. F. Bloom took in the fair at Kankakee last week, where he met many old friends whom he had not seen for years. The fair was a grand success, according to Mr. Bloom, in every particular.

At this writing, (Monday evening), she is a little better. „ Miss Nettie Powell is seriously ill with nervous prostration at the house of her mother, ‘ and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Philippi.
