A young man from Remington who lias frequently made personal" allusions to us through the columns of the Remington Journal, was .in town this week. If he wasn’t a temperance man one would hardly believe that he had colored his nasal protruberancc with pickles. The season for painting is rapidly drawing near and people who intend to renovate and improve the appearance Of property should get the best materials. Emmet Kannal keeps the celebrated Averill Chemical Paint in all colors, tints and shades; also white lead and oil in large supply. - A few of our German citizens are fearfully exercised over the attack the temperance people are making on the unlicensed saloons of this county, and some of them even talk of going back to the domains of Kaiser Wilhelm.

The temperance organizations of this place have at last awakened from the lethargy that seemed for a time to hold them, and are now after Tuteur, the man who deals out liquid damnation without license. Last Saturday a . Geo. Morgan, the Worthy Patriarch of the Sons„p? Temperance in this place, filed an information against Tuteur for selling and allowing liquor to bejlrank on the premises, and-that action was followed on Wednesday of this week by two more informations, against the skmc party.

Daniel Miller has been appointed Notary Public by Gov. Hendricks and as soon as he receives his seal will be ready to acknowledge anything. . i i f in w. i The longest faces we have seen for some time are those of the Remington and Rensselaer whiskey sellers, who were this week brought before the circuit court for gelling their beverages contrary to law. Miss Estella Purcupile, daughter of A. Purcupile, of this place, inadvertently stepped out of a door in the second floor of their house on Monday of this week, and fell a distance of some ten feet, bruising her severely. The several Granges under the jurisdiction of the J. C. C. A. are hereby notified that the next meeting will be held in the Court House in Rensselaer, Ind., on Saturday, May 31st, 1873. Matters of universal importance will be presented for the consideration of the delegates, and the several Masters will see that their Granges are fully represented. By order J. C. C. A; P. of H. C. W. Clifton. Cor. Sec’y. If Bill Draper keeps on filing affidavits against the Remington men who let him have whiskey he will soon reduce the capital of the whiskey men of his town to such an extent that they will probably have to go into involuntary bankruptcy. There is one good thing about it, Draper is compelling them to increase the school fund to a considerable extent. Deputy CL W, Clifton reports the organization of the following Granges during last week: Wheatfield Grange, Jasper county. Membership 28. E. R. Farmer, Master; John M. Helmic, Secretary. Postoffice, San Pierre, Ind. Jay Grange, Carrol county, Ind. Membership 22; J. A. Williamson; Master; John Humrickhouse, Secretary. Postoffice, Burrows, Ind. Boswell Grange, Benton county, Ind. Membership 16. Jas. Harris, Master; M. A. Barber, Secretary. Postoflice, Boswell, Ind. Warren Grange, Warren county. Membership 15. S. G. Knaur, Master; John Knaur, Secretary.— Postoflice, Boswell, Ind. Pine Grange, Warren county, Ind. Membership 14. W. M. Deer, Master; S. Roberts, Secretary. Postoffice, Rainsville, Tud. The fiendish the liquor traffic U makes of the men who for hire it is illustrated by the action of those men at Remington who deal out the poison (they are no worse than others), who, although notified by the wife of one of the citizens not to sell to her husband, still in defiance of the protest of the wife, sold the villainous stuff to him and kept him drunk for days, until last Sunday in a fit of drunken frenzy he struck and maltreated her until she had to be protected by her friends. The retribution that follows wrong acts conies swiftly, and the men who would not be restrained by the appeals of the wife are likely to be fined to such an extent by the circuit court-that "they will be cautious how they sell in the future, and it may be that before the cases are all disposed of that their dives will be closed as nuisances and the proprietors be compelled to engage in some business that will support their families in as good style as they do now, and will not be any injury to the families of others.

Remington Items.

Compiled from the Journal. T. E. Donnelly, who has been out in Illinois fbr s<>mc‘time past, is back at Remington, wielding a q>aint brush. Foster, the marble man, is still running his shop. Capt. , Fountain, a Remington whiskey saloonist, is circulating a petition to allow horses and asses to run at large on the streets. “Average Remingtonian” still insults the people of Remington with his wretched drivel in the Journal. The fact is the people who know him say that he would be below the average in a Hottentot village, He closes his article by asking us to sing. No, we never.
