REMINGTON ITEMS.

Misa Callie Bonner went to Chicago last Thursday, called there by the Alson Fell. Miss Fannie Jones came home from Bloomington, last Thursday, to spend the spring vacation. Dr. Patton’s term in Congress having expired he has returned to his home in Remington. He arrived last Friday evening. The Holiness people have had to hire a larger hall owing to the crowds who nightly congregated to hear them. They now use Durand Hall as a place of meeting, with no abatement of interest or attendance,

Rev. S- V. McKee is holding a series of meetings which are well attended. He was ably assisted last week by Rev. J. H. Sherrard of Rockville, Ind., a friend of long standing and a college classmate. The many friends of Rev. J. B. Crowe and wile will be glad to know that all danger to life and property from the lawless element where their work is situated, is- over for the present. They contemplate moving to Wichita in the near future. Whereever they may go, or whatever may be the outcome of this trouble, the sympathy and best wishes of this entire community are with Mr. and Mis. Crowe with earnest prayers for their safety and happiness. Last Saturday, March 18th, was the twentieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Vickery, and about twenty-five of their numerous friends gathered at the residence of Dr. Patton, and proceeded en-masse to the home of Mr. and Mrs. where they spent a most delightful evening. Although the host was so disabled by a recent injury as to be unable to leave his chair he still made his unbidden and unexpected guests feel that they were heartily welcome. Mrs. Vickery was equal to the occasion greeting each one with graceful cordiality. There was no programme, no formality, but each was made to feel at home. At the solicitation of nearly every one present, Mrs. Sheppard and her gifted son rendered some fine instrumental music, and Frank Hardy sang “In the Morning” as only he could sing it. The Misses Mary and Ella Longwell each gave a recitation most beautifully rendered' showing careful training in the art of elocution. Some elegant presents were left with Mr. and Mrs. Vickery as souvenirs of the occasion, accompanied by many heartfelt wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. Remingtonian .
