REMINGTON ITEMS.

The Odd. Fellows gave a supper ana entertainment at their hall Thursday evening. ‘-Under the Mistletoe bough” was given with Mrs. Wolf as Genevra and was well represented. " It was a very select affair, only Odd Fellows and their ladies being permitted to attend. About thirty of the Odd Fellows went to Rensselaer Sunday to attend the funeral of Mr. McColly. Miss Anna Dersehell and her mother have returned to their home in Mich. The entertainment given Friday evening by the Remington Primaries was a- decided success both socially •iiid financially. Tire motion sung by first primary was very much enjoyed by the audience. The Operetta was short but well presented. The f airies were enchant- ( mg in their dainty costumes, while the gt psit-s were ideal gypsies and ; sang their.gay rollicking songs with ■ spirit ami life. The king and his court made an imposing pageant. The solos given by the king and Gypsy Queen were especially pretty as «as the duet by the two little babes. The entire receipts of the evening amounted to over sixty dollars leaving a neat little, balance, of forty four dollars to the credit of the Primaries.
