REMINGTON ITEMS.

The address by Mr. Benton, President of Butler University, Sunday morning was most interesting and profitable. His subject, “Citizenship” was one which should have been heard by many more than could get into the church. A number of people sat in buggies outside the church windows, and numbers were obliged to go home as they were unable to get in the church. The subject was handled in a very able manner.
