L ‘ —Alexander McConnell has been . appointed deputy county assessor for -the Ligonier corporation.and is now making official calls among our prop- . erty-holders. g —From all reports, our neighboring . city, Goshen, is having a lively time. * The crusaders have commenced operations in good earnest and are making things lively. —Just before going to press we learn that the surveyors of the Canada Southern railway are operating on the Ligonier and Rome City line. There is considerable rejoicing over this cheering intelligence. “—L. J.

E. Church at this place, last Sunday, is spoken of as a very creditable effort . and is said to have made a good impression upon the audience. We greaﬂ'y regret that the -continued pre- . carious condition of our health rendered it impossible for us to be one of _ his hearers. - : ‘ - —The building to be occupied by the "~ Reynolds’ Furniture and Toy Manu- . factory is nearly fitted up for occue - pancy.

LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS . ROME CITY NEWS. . J. B. Wade, Esq., of Lagrange, was in town on Tuesday of last week.— Mr. W. owns considerable real estate in our city, and calls here frequently to look after it. Mr. Wade is one of the best lawyers in Lagrange county, and perhapsin this Congressional District, and oncc upon a time had some political ‘aspirations, but of late has

almost entirely retired from the political field. He, like many others, has cut loose from all political parties and supports only whom he sees fit. :We take it that he would not spend much time nor money, neither would he burn his shirt to'make a light to see how to eleet John H. Baker to Congress. « o A

No soldiers went from here to the great re-union at Fort Wayne, onTuesday of last week. They generally looked upon the matter as a hum bug, got up for the benefit of Fort Wayne alone. So long as President Grant keeps his government officers at Fort Wayne and elsewhere filled with old party-hacks and political dead-beats 1t is useless' for him or his Supporters to pretend to have any preference or any particular regard for the brave and disabled soldiers. Action speaks louder than words, and are less liable to deceive.

On Wednesday of last week, Mr. Harker, of Troy, Ohio, and Mr. Billings, of Ligonier, delivered some of the nicest fruit and ornamental trees to their subscribers here that we have seen delivered in this county for several years. The Troy nurseries have made themselves very popular in this county by furnishing nice trees and dealing fairly with subscribers. Farmers in this vicinity cannot do better than to deal with this nursery. Spring amusements, such as quoit pitching, boat riding, pike fishing, duck hunting and store box whittling has fairly commenced in Rome. ! But few cases of spring-fever reported, and no fatal results. : Ex-Recorder James Greenman, of Albion, was in town on Wednesday of last.week. He reports that the (horse) cars run regularly on the B. & O. railroad at the capital, and he thinks the iron horse will pass that way by the middle of dog-days. : Joe Ashworth and Harry Buffun caught two pike last week of about five pounds each. From this time forward large fish can be caught, but it must be done with a hook. Remember, no spearing, trapping nor seining, under penalty. , - “Lake Side” has been smoking the ‘Leather Stocking Cigars.” These cigars may have a fine flavor, but they evidently have a tough name. ‘

We are sorry to learn shat Uncle Isaac Tibbot, of Wa\ifaka, has got to laughing out in meeting. But then we don’t believe Bro. Kresler will care much, howsoever we think Doctor Nimmons had. better look after the matter a little. o

Rev. E. Hall has been appointed by the M. E. Conference to preach to the Romanites the coming year. We will therefore be favored by afternoon discourses from this eminent gentleman every two weeks (no preventing Providence.) : The Baptist social at Bro. Newton Berry’s, on Wednesday evening of last week was well attended, old and young enjoyed themselves hugely, passed in their mites and departed, feeling that it was good “fun” for them to be there. Jake Kraner, of Kendallville, made his appearance in our town on Friday last, with a nice peddling wagon well supplied with bread, cakes and pies of his own make, and for thé purpose of feeding the hungry Romanites. It is his intention to be here every Tuesday and Friday hereafter, a matter of which every citizen will feel very glad to know that they can get fresh bread, cakes and pies of the very best quality delivered right at their door. Three cheers for Jake Kraner! “Bully boy withi a glass eye!” The anti-secret society agitationists hold their - convention in Albion, on the 23d inst, to nominate a county ticket. They are temperance men and discard good templars. They elegantly leave out in the cold all Masons, Odd Fellows, Good Templars and Grangers. They are a very consistent, intellectual and exemplary Zittle band. They need not be tedious about their business, nor be particular whom they nominate, as thereis not the least danger of electing any of them, “Avery’s Minstrels” are advertised to be here on next Monday evening, the 20th inst. Not knowing anything about the merits or demerits of this troupe, we cannot of coursefspeak understandingly. After they have pexrformed here we shall be able to judge of their merits, and will give it to our readers truthfully, without fear, favor, or affection. :

~J. R. Rheubottom, Esq., editor of the Wolcottville Register, made our town a pleasant visit last Friday., It ig his avowed intention t 6 remove the Register to this place as soon as we succeed in getting the Canada Southern Railroad, and Jake Vincent thinks we have it now within our grasp. We hope our neighbors over the way wont feel bad or envious about a small matter like this! :

We are pleased to see that the Agricultural Society has heeded our suggestion and elected W. T. Holsinger one of its directors. No better selection could have been made. In looking over the list of directors and officers we pronounce them a lot.of good men. The next Fair ought to be a success, and no doubt will be., -

Dr. Owen Rice, formerly of this place, but now located at Wabash, paid his friends here a flying visit ‘over Sunday last. The Doctor i§ now general ticket and freight agent of the C., W. & M. Railroad, as well as a sort of auditor-general for the entire line. This road is now in a very prosperous condition and is managed by an efficient and genteel set of officers and employes. v

The United Brethren quarterly meet~ ing was held here on Saturday and Sunday last. Able discourses were

others, one united with the church, two were baptized—one- by pouring, and one by the ancient mode, immersion. The meetings were well attended and considerable interest was manifested. This society is very zealous, and were it not for their fanaticism and continual abuse of secret societies they would be the means of accomplishing a much greater amount of good than they are at present.

Ove Dixon and Walter Gaunt have leased the saw-mill of J.C. Geisendorff & Co. and are starting up-a clothes-rack and shingle manufactory. The machinery is now being put in order and the concern will be in operation in a few days. Dixon and Gaunt are both good mechanics and will make this new enterprise a success. We wish the boys good luck. - The “hop” at the Lake Side House, on Friday evening, was moderately well attended. Neighbor Hobson, of Lagrange, one of the principal musicians, was late putting in his appearance, but then he made up for lost time when he did come. Everything would have passed off pleasantly had it not been for a few from a distance who had,’ previous to their arrival, taken on a little too much ‘tangle-leg,’ which, of course, caused them to be a little boisterous and forgetful. Griffith and Parks caught twentythree pounds of bass last Monday afternoon on the West Lake.

. “Pedro” was in town again last Friday. o John Comer has returned to. Rome City to stay. . B A littly family flurry In the south part of town last week. Dora M. Lane is a success in selling dorgs and fﬁnding wood-cocks. Ask him,: o, ALEXIS. - KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. The prospects for an abundant wheat crop are not as flattering as might be desired. el

Commissioner Jmes ~has been appointed deputy assﬁms'of"aidt ,(#‘aﬁge township, and has already entered upon the discharge of his duties. He will do the business correctly.” By the ‘way, there are many unfavorable comments by those who voted for Mr. Bruce on his course in exacting fifty cents per day of the wages which the law gives deputy gssessopsis: That is not the kind g “1'@?1” t@?{pﬁ’cﬁ& when they béstowed theirsuffrages upon Mr. Bruce. T Toeww o It is reported that Mr. Isbell, of Avilla, is still in a very critical condition. i e e

By virtue of general ordinance Nox 47, cattle will not be permitted to run atlarge in this éity after 9 o’elock p. M. The soldiers and others are expected to meet at Firemen’s Hall next Saturday evening to consider the question of decorgting soldier’s graves. | Another old citizen of Noble county has gone to the spirit world.. I have reference to Samuel Conmlogue, who died Wednesday of last week near Lisbon, of consumption. ~Hisage was g 4 ; \

It only required a few buckets of water to extinguish “that fire” in Willett’s Marble Shop the other day. _ The wedding at Hi. Iddings’ on Monday evening was a grand affair. Many valuable presents were made. Isaae E. Knisely, Esq., and Rev. G. W. Chapman, of Ligonier, spent a few hours in this city the other evening. Mrs. Emma Molloy delivered her temperance -lecture in the Baptist church last Monday evening to a fair audience. She succeeded in indncing some of our ladies to embark in the crusade business, and visit_red one or two saloons on Tuesday. Thereis a good deal of talk over this movement, but T have some doubts as to its amounting to much in the end. ‘ If Ligonier means business, let her leading citizens come here with petitions for the removal of the county seat. Any number of signatures can be obtained here. ;

Local items are unusually scarce this week, at least such'is the experience of yournew . .. "' REPORTER. HAWPATCH JOTTINGS. EpiTOR BANNER: — Noticing that our old friends in Stark county are solicitous of having some one write up the local news of the Hawpatch, I have concluded to volunteer my services in that direction. = We have: had two deaths in this locality during the past week. ' Yesterday the wife of Jacob Miller was conveyed to her final resting place, and to-day the same sad ceremony occurs over the remains of his child., The funeral of Mrs. Miller was very largely attended, and appropriate services were conducted by the Reys. Isaac Schmucker and David ‘Hospetter: of Elkhart @uqty—-ém ;gmqg preaching in Genman ang ,ﬁ'l ttei‘é:jinggHsh. 1B B SF o & HG | In reply to friend Yoder's inquiry I would 'say that the people of the “Patch” have not all joined the Grange. There are still a few who decline ta. “go in.”

The health is generally good in this neightborhood. i L

The place on the “Patch” called Slabtown is still improving. Another house is going up, Joe Keim being both builder and owner thereof. I notice in the BANNER that our former neighbor, Mr., A. E. Troyer, writes good news from Colorado. He says the land there produces from 30 to 60 bushels of wheat per acre. If this be true, they must assuredly have some long-legged Indian to step off their acres, for even the excellent and unsurpassed soil of the Hawpatch is incapable of producing such; resuits. -The weather continuing cold and dry, wheat is beginning to turn pale, and fears are entertained thatthe'crop will be exceedingly light. It presented a very promising appearance some time ago. R btk

A number of new buildings are to be erected in this locality during sum-~ mer. Emanuel Stutzman ‘is fifst in thefield ; he has removed his old house to make room for a new and substantial mansion. R Mr. Gale, of Kalamazoo, has not yet

-put in-an appearance, in consequence of which some of the men who owned } those nige farms are becoming somewhat uneasy. o ' ~ Making a brief visit th Lagrange Center yesterday, I was much pleased with the lively business aspects of that town. Everybody seemed to be stirring. The Sheriff told me he had two young men in jail—one for stealing his father’s timber, and the other for steali.r;g a watch and jewelry in Wolcottville. I trust this may serve as a warning to other young men who may be tempted to depart from the path of honesty and right. It is ¢ertainly a lasting disgrace to be incarcerated in a county jail for such violations of the law. - The blacksmith-on the “Pateh” has his hands chuck full of business. He is the occupant of two offices, and feels 8o good over it that his neighbors generally anticipate an early abandonment of the blacksmith shop. In order to relieve public anxiety as to the character of these offices, I would say that the one is the office of school director and the other that of supérvisor. : JOoHN KEIM. April 12. . !

. COUNTY CONVENTIQON. Reform ! Reform!! Reform!!!

The friends- of Reform will please remember that the County Convention at Albion comes off on next Thursday (23d inst), for the purpose of putting in nomination candidates for the various county offices who are known to be opposed to the liquor traffié, and who are also equally opposed to the various secret rings and cliques, of whatever name or order. We urge the friends of Reform to come out, and to come early, and let us have a word of experience from all who have witnessed anything special from the hidden things of dishonesty. .. Our State Agent will give us one or two speeches on.the occasion. C. G. FAIr, Sec. f-~———-—‘o’~—-—?-— .| Trees and Plants. Will the people of Ligonier and vicinity remember that I have a few Apple and Pear trees, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries and Grapes, to sell this Spring to those who want them. I have no faculty to sell to those who do not wish it. L am getting a few tru¢’ Upland Cranberries, and when I have planted and grown them, proved that they are not currants, I shall have them also for sale to those who want them. I shall be thankful also for orders for such trees and plants as I have not yet in growth. : . D.H. REYNOLDS.

AN impression seems to be out among many tax payers that five per cent. is added in cases where but half of the taxes are paid on or before the third Monday in April. It arose perhaps from the fact that the law requres the Treasurér to collect all road taxés at the April payment, and ag the road tax this year is just five cents.the impression has thus probably been formed. It costs the tax payer mo more to pay semi annually than it did under the old law when he paid annually. In regard todeliquent taxes the law requires that one half shall be paid on or before the third Monday in April, otherwise the whole amount is returned delinquent.—CrauwJordsville Journal. {

-A WESTERN GRANGER has written for some Mardi-Gras seed. Bill Groh, the King of Grocers, don’t keep that kind of seed, but he certainly does keep the best selected stock of groceries and provisions in Kendallville, and he is selling his goods at a very small margin above actual cost. Bill’s reputation as a first-clags grocer renders it entirely unnecessary for us to advise the readers of the BANNER to buy of him. He wont be undersold. *

A kind lady in Danbury recently gave a beggar half a dozen colldrs, with the advice to turn them and ghalk the edges. That’s all right in Danbury, but it won’t do in Kendallville, as long as Engel & Co. -sell gents’ furnishing goods so low.. They have a large stock of ‘clothing, hats, caps, etc., and we advise our friends to call on them in Miller’s Block on Main street.
