AViU the Republican party in Jasper county wake up, organize, and nominate a ticket this campaign? is tiie conundrum that exercises a number who want to be candidates thereon. The Boss says yea; but the Ring, nay. The Boss has the ievolest .head and tiie Ring are very selfish. It Is said there are ten gentlemen in ißemington aspiring to legislative and •Congressional honors, but most of .them are too modest to announce .their desires publicly; each is now 'busy waiting for an office to come hunting the man. Several would be contented with a township office if .nothing better presented. 32mmet Kannal has 800 pounds of potato bug poison for sale. This is a reliable article, and will do the business every time without injury to the Vines. Call for Kannal’a Potato Bug Mixture.

Handsome Dr. Traugh will be Marshal of the Day at Remington on the 4th of July, 1874. The citizens of Remington have determined to celebrate the Fourth of July appropriately with music, speech and song. Two youthful ltemingtonians recently presented a young mother with a baby cab for the inestimable privilege oi naming her infant. At a recent strawberry festival given by_ the ladies of the M. E. Church in Downing’s hay—barn, they scooped in $l3O of “irredeemable currency.” The ladies of the Christian Church will furnish strawberries, ice cream and all the luxunea of the season to those who dc6irc to participate on the 24th instant, in Downing’s barn. Three more numbers will complete the present volume of the Remington Journal, when it will enter upon its third year with renewed promises of its proprietor to increase its value to patrons and editor. Long may it float and prosper. A new game called “drink or smell” is becoming popular in Remington, and its devotees chase dull oare away through the weary watches of the night until the weo, Bmall hours appear, and Phoebus hangs her gaudy trappings on the eastern sky.
