—The coroner of DeKalb county is certainly not one of those “literary fellers” but doubtless an honest, hard working farmer or Jaborer. —Sol May, is reaping a rich reward in having a crowded room with customers the greater portion of the time, 'who appreciate good clothing and low prices. - —Do you know that the most detestable individual \in the world is a liar. All communities have them, but in our opinion the prince of liars lives ’.in Ligonier. , ' ' —The Fleming House at Fort Wayne is now urder management of George B. Teal, who for some time was proprietor of the Ligonier House at this place. ‘—The salcon-keepers of this place have entered into an agreement to banish all games- from their places of business.

Waterworks, Electric light, cock fighting, ete., certainly entitle it to a front rank. i

—The boys were out last Thursday evening in full force, and from the the noise they mada and the general appearanee of the streets the next day they must have had a “high old time.” Nearly everything movable was out of place and things looked as if the. crowd had taken New Year’s for Hallow ’een.

—Over in DeKalb county an erganization has been formed known as the Southfield Detective Association. The county commissioners appointed all of the members special constables which gives them the power to make arrests. The organization is acting in conjunction with the one formed in the eastern part of the county and have made several important arrests already.

—During the social the other evening in the lodge room of Exceisior lodge, I. O. O. F., many compliments wers passed by the ladies on the neat and tasty arrangement of the rooms and the beautiful decorations.

W. Zimmerman, Chancellor 'Commander; ‘Pau}l Joray, ViceChancellor; L. C. Warren, Prelate; J. F. Bowman, Keeper .of Records and Seals; Abe* Goldsmith, Master Exchequer; M. E. Botdwell, Master Finance; and Charles W. Smith, Master at Arms. The installation will be held this evening and it is to be hoped that every Knight will be in atténdance. e -

—Ligonier 1s now one lawyer less. Harry Reynolds left last Sonday night for some pointin the far west where he will doubtless locate, If he will allow his better instincts socome to the foreground he can yet make a success of life and become an honor to himself. His leaving was very unteremonious and there are things con nected with hisgoing that will hardly bear close scrutiny. We will make some inquiries during the near future, and if necessary may have to makb some disclosures as to a conspiracy that has defrauded alarge number of creditors. S 5

— The initial number of the InterMountain, the new story paper published by Williams & Hossler, at Warsaw, is on our table. 1t is certainly a neat . and tasty publicstion and contains a large amount of most interesting readingmatter, especially to those Who appreciate a good story well ‘written. The Inter-Mountain should ‘at once take the place of many other story papers printed in the East among our readers, and we feel sure that the change will never be regretted. Address Willlams & Hossler for a sample copy and get an idea of what the paper is, G

‘€ —There is a possibility'of over doirg things in this world, : —The second invoice of “the beantiful” 1s now on hand. L —Tlndeed, the scandal mongers have had a mest busy season for the‘past.

Niaety strokes were timed. @ —The Philosopher will doubtless discuss many subjects of interest dur—ing the next few months. * —Walder has already put up one batch of ice, and flooded his pond on: Tuesday with the . expectation of another freeze. —llt is wery important that every Knight of Pythias belonging .to. the local lodge should be present to-night, Business of importance is to be trausacted. : : '~ —The Odd Fellows’ lodge during the last six months. made a decided gain in membership, and the outlogk for the first term of 1886 is indeed encouraging. ‘ | —Wanted to borrow six or eight hundred dollars on two or three years. } First-class real estate security, will pay nine per cent interest. ‘ Address, LOAN,.BANNER Offics.

—We will not engaga in any scheme to tear a men down, afd after heis down tramp on him, but there is a limit, when forebearance ceases to be a virtue, and there are times when men get no more than they deserve. —Among the names that were sent to the senate last Thursday was that of Capt. John R, Smith, for pcstmaster, at Kendallville. Capt. Smith’s many friends in Noble county will doubtless feel much elated over his successs. —We must now insist . upon our subscribers who are in arrears, to come in at once and settle their accounts. We MUST have our money to pay our debts, which can’t be delayed. Do not stand back, as if you OWe us, we mean you. R

—We have often said that Leo Solomon was an excellent judge of borse.! flesh. Now jwe know it, as he came back from Ohio last Friday with a car-load of horses that can’t be beaten | -anywhere. Leo says it took a good while to find them, but he got there all the same. - —The spectacle of an efligy hanging from a postal telegraph pole in front of Green’s meat market was'an interesting feature of last Sunday morning. It was designed to represent Harry Reynolds and was so placarded. It is hardly to be supposed that such action was approved by the b-st citizens of our town, for in our opiuion such conduct is not countenanced by the better element of scciety. : —We present this week the production of a new contributor who has kindly volunteered to give weekly communications. Judging from the first attempt we are led to believe that he will furnish some interestingiread ing for the friends of the BANNER. Our readers will remember that we are in no way responsible for tlLe opinions he may express, and we may occasionally - have to take issue with our friend upon questions discussed. —The social given at Odd Fellows’ *hall last Thursday evening'was a success in eyery particular, A large number of the members of the order with their families and friends spent the evoniug in social intercourse, and from all appearances had a general good time.

The next Teachers’ Institute in this- ‘township will be held on Saturday next, January 9, at Wawaka. An exceilent programme has been arranged and a profitable time is expected. | Prof.. D. D, Luke, superintendent of the Ligonier schools, has kindly consented to be present. All are cordially invited to attend. Bring along your lanch baskets well filled.

The paper contains thirty-two pages and is profusely illustrated, giving a well written review of Kansas City, . Tuesday morning mail broaght the Minneapolis Tribune, of janu’ary 1, another wonderful production of the “printing shop”—a thirty-two page paper containing 224 columns ofjreading matter, mainly devoted to showing up the advantages of Minneapolis and giving ai full review of the business of 1885 as. compa-ed with St. Paul, - ‘ —Last Saturday at Rome OCity, Deputy United States Marshal Wil kinson, of Fort Wayne, procured the arrest of a man named James H. Burnes. The arrest was made by Captain Eden H. Fisher, and the man is now lodged in the Allen county Jjail.

Blacksold about five acres to Washington Jaquays for. $275; Anthony Lemmon gold four acres to P, O.
