They were married in Dec. 1888 and separated in the spring of 1891. The grounds were cruel and inhuman treatment, in using vile and abusive language, and threatening her life. It was in evidence that Emmons would “rare right up out of his sleep at night and begin cussing and damning” the plaintiff because she would not sell her home. And when her final refusal so to do was given, he asserted that he had two other wives he could Jive with, and went thence. The plaintiff is a daughter of Lewis Davisson, a most estimable cicTzet of Union tp. '■ — r Mary Tyler was given a divorce * fl *

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Mrs. Grant Warner and son Rex, of Rensselaer, are the guests of Mrs. P, H. Lally. Mrs. E. E. Yeoman and daughter Bessie left for their home in Missouri, on Wednesday of this week. By the upsetting of a load of hay last Saturday, Everett Parks was badly bruised and shaken up. His injuries though painful were not at all serious. While bringing a load of beef to town, Mr. Cheek was badly bruised and one of his ankles- sprained by the overturning of his meat wagon. The horse became frightened by the close proximity of a R. R. train, with the result above stated. Mr. Cheek was disabled for a few days, but is now able to attend to business. The Autumnal Festival given by the Remington Schools was very pleasant and instructive, the decorations and the music being especially adapted to the occasion. All the rooms took part in the exercises and all acquitted themselves wiih credit, as reported by numerous visitors. Messrs Edward and George Cumin ons received a telegram on Monday morning announcing the serious sickness of their mother, at her home near the city of Philadelphia. In about another hour another telegram brought the intelligence of her death. The brothers left on the noon train to attend the funeral.

Mr. Samuel Huggins met with a painful accident last Saturday, while on the way to his farm, with a load of tile. He had placed the spring seat on top of the load and a little obstruction caused the seat to slip throwing Mr. Huggins violently to the ground. He suffered two or three severe cuts on the left cheek, which were sewed up by Dr. Patton and the sufferer is now doing well, The accident occurred near the residence of Mr. Charles Austin, who acted the part of the good Samaritan by Mr. Huggins, dressing his wounds and bringing him to town. The excellent parents of that worthy young man, Daniel Biddle, planned and carried out a pleasant surprise for him last Saturday, the oocasion being his twenty-first birthday. The members of the graduating class of last year, of which Mr. Biddle was also a member, with a few other friends from town, and all the young people of the neighborhood were invited to be present. The young man was completely and entirely taken by surprise, and it is needless to say the occasion was a pleasant one. Music, conversation and a most bountiful supper wete the features of the evening. At a late hour the guests departed with many good wishes for the young man who had attained his majority under such happy auspices.

A Card From C. W. Bussell.

Editor Republican: I noticed in your columns [Dunnville correspondence] this week where Chas. W. Bussell had left for parts unknown. I wish you would please notify the comtempible fools that I had only gone away on business and returned all O. K. and as to my debts I expect to pay every dollar I owe and could pay much sooner if some of the people that had so much to say about me would pay me what they owe me and sweep their own door yards first.

Chas. W. Bussell.

A Pastoral Announcement.

Men May Come and Men May Go, But I Go on Forever. , For four years I have associated with the people of Rensselaer, and of Jasper county, laboring in the ministry of the gospel. During that time half of my work has been done in Newton county. I have now completed arrangements to spend all my time with Rensselaer and adjacent points. The three objects to which I have given my effort hitherto, will be still kept in view: to proclaim salvation through Christ; to assist every good endeavor and hinder none; to maintain the visible forms of Christianity as the Bible describes them. I start anew, with the kindest good will for all, and with no stored up jealousy nor enmity. Friends, brethern, give us your hands for a pure and noble endeavor.

Another Card From Mel Makeever.

Denver, Col. Oct 19; 1391. In behalf of Mr. AL C. Robinson, I wish to state that the statements made by me while in Rensselaer to the effect that Mr. Robinson did not realize that he was sick until my challenge was out and money up, etc, were very unjust, and nd one regrets it more than I do, for any one who saw him about 4 P. M. Thursday, could plainly see that he was a very sick man and not able to run anyone. I am very sorry that I was so unjust, but he can now realize how humiliating it was for me two years ago when I was lame and Jiis friends said it was my heart that was lame, etc. Yours truly,

But how to determine which make is best is what puzzles you, isn’t it? And when the puzzle is solved for you, by authority which cannot be questioned, you are pleased, aren’t you? And you would like to hear of one puzzle that has been solved for the people of the whole world, wouldn’t you? Well, we will tell you about that very puzzle, and its solution. A£ the Universal Exposition of 1880 at Pans, France, the best sewing machines of the worlds including those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechan■cal experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination ind tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of ail, and awarded that company the highest pare of twed, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other companies only gold, silver and b.onze medals. The French Government, as a further recognition of superiority, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the comK, with the Cross of the Legion of . >r, the most prized honor of France. That is how the puzzle of the best sewing machine in the world was fully solved by the most competent authority in the world in favor of the No. 9 and No. 13 Wheeler & Wilson machines. The No. 9, for family use, and the Na 12, for manufacturing uses, are the best in the world to-day. And now, when yon want a sewing machine, if you do not get the best, it will be your own fault Ask your sewing machine dealer fw the No. 9 Wheeler & Wilson machine, und if he does not keep them, write to us for descriptive catalogue, prices and terms.
