Remington Items.

Compiled from the Journal. Lbts in Carpenter Grove cemetery are to be appraised. Capt. J. 11. Fountain was fined mice last week by Justice Jeffries aud once by Justice Lewis. Tim O’Connor last Tuesday was fined ten dollars each on nine complaints for selling liquor unlawfully. • {«« Constable Pierce last-week made thirty-three arrests and served sixty subpoenas, all on aecount of whiskey. Capt. Fountain has taken change of venue in four whiskey cases from Remington to Esquire Lewis, of Jordan township. B. M. Butler, druggist, was arrested last Thursday on charge of selling liquor illegally, tried before another druggist and acquitted. Tim O’Connor has taken change of venue in fifteen whiskey cases from Justice Spencer at Remington, to Justice Lewis, of Jordan township. D. 11. Kaufman was arrested last charge of giving liquor to a person in the habit of becoming intoxicated, but on trial was acquitted. The literary entertainment given by the ladies to raise funds to prosecute liquor dealers, held in the M. E. church on Tuesday evening of last week, netted $22 to the entertainers. Charley Ilarlegar has determined to taste no more intoxicating liquor, but will hereafter attend strictly to his business of harness making, and become an industrious, peaceable and respected citizen.— God speed the man on his new career and let every good neighbor lend him a helping hand. Remington may be emphatically designated a festive place. Not long since the ladies of the Methodist Episcopal society lead off in a festival the profits of which netted $80; they were followed on the 4th by the Brass Band which realized $62.25; and on Tuesday night of week before last the female members of the Christian church cleared SSO by a similar process. Week ago last Thursday, Mr. Solomon Uendrix, a farmer living a few miles southwest of Remington, while seated on a sack of corn in the drive-way of Hathaway’s warehouse, permitted a wagon containing nearly fifty bushels of corn to run over one of his great toes, badly crushing that useful and ornamental member, but breaking no bones.
