In addition to the foregoing we may say that Remington is in Jasper county, situated in the midst of a large scope of magnificent farming and stock-raising country; it has two large steam grain elevators, with extensive warehouses, a hay press, a passenger and freight depot, a telegraph office and a post office where three daily mails are received and distributed, It is a thriving, prosperous town, has doubled its population and quadrupled its business since June 1870, and promises soon to be one of the best towns for the investment of capital on the railroad between Logansport and the Illinois State line.
