Compiled from this Journal, Robert Darker is going to build a brick residence on Ohio street. Justice Spencer fined Geo. Jordan $5 and costs, last week, Tuesday, lor drinking to intoxication. J. O. I>. McDougle gets the thanks of the Remington cornet band for a treat of crackers and candies. It was pretty thin but then the boys couldn’t complain. Rev. 11. A. Gobin, Pastor of the M. E. church at Remington, has been chosen by the faculty of the Indiana Asbury University to deliver the oration before the graduating class on commencement day, June 19, 1873. Mr. Gobin deservedly stands high as a minister, orator and Christian, and the honor is justly conferred. There has been nine convictions in Remington for drunkenness under~thc new temperance law that has turned $45 into the schooL fund. The Journal man asks why »vrc are so “torn up” about the temperance organizations and whether they interfere with our “quiet nips”? We arc not torn up, and we do not take quiet nips. We believe in temperance organizations and honor them for the good they have done and arc still doing, but then we thought that they had “resoluted” about enhugh and if they meant business they should show their hand. ‘ »
