—WANTED—At $4O per month and expenses paid. A few good salesmen to sell trees, shrubs and vines, Address with references, stating age and former occupation, D. H. Patty, Nurseryman, Geneva, N. Y.

—Our Indianapolis papers are very irregular in their arrival. Yesterday we received three papers—Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s editions. Of course some ‘‘ignorant democratic postal clerk” is still in it. ' —E. Jacobs & Co. are just now taking their annual invoice. 'This popular firm has done a great deal of business during the last twelve months. During 1891 they propose to keep up the record and continue in the lead.

—D. E. Scott just completed 'a job of paper hanging for us that does that gentleman .considerable credit as a workman in that line of work. Any of our people who want paper hanging done can do no better than to get estimates from Mr. Scott. : — Ten members of our famous band will go to Eureka Springs, Ark., in July, where they will fill a six weeks’ engagement as one of the attractions at that famous resort. Under the direction of Prof. J. C. Sack, the boys have already begun their rehearsals. —The series of lectures given at Union hall during the past week by Prof. Warren, the phrenologist, have attracted considerable attention and good crowds. Prof. Warren is an affable gentleman and has his subjects well in hand, making his lectures interesting and instructive. —Mike Nippert, the engincer and superint@:‘lent of the water works, informs us that he has not resigned his position and does not yet know whether he will or not. He has a flattering offer from a Northwestern city but has not yet made up his mind to accept it. He may yet determine to become a permanent citizen of Ligonier.. o 5

—Some one has originated another game for societies to use in raising funds. The game, called a shadow social, consists in a girl being placed between a strong light and a sheet, in such a way that the shadow is thrown on the sheet. An auctioneer sells her to the highest bidder, and the fellow making the bid must take her to supper, his purchase including a ticket. The whole scheme, seems to be created to get money out of the unlucky fellows, and the girls manage to secure considerable fun and attention out of the scheme. = !

—The Columbia City Mail, the new republican paper, putin its appearance upon our table last week, and it seems to be a worthy successor to the Times, E. W. Brown’s paper, which it supplanted. The new proprietors go at the business as if they already knew more about Whitley county politics than the ‘‘oldest innabitant,”’ and they * ‘‘go for’’ things in a way that can but make them solid with the radically rantankerous ranters of which Columbia City has her fair share. In the " meantime we notice that the Commercial, the old established republican paper, has been enlarged and improved in many ways. Mr. Baker doesn’t propose to be frozen out if he can

—Pay up. ' ; —Bring in some money. | —Don’t forget that subseription. —See Leo Solomons card in another part of the paper. He is still in the ring. —Notice Zimmerman & | Brand’s advertisement upon this pade. They offer some big bargains. —The Goshen News says that William Hart, of this place, has lately been in that city negotiating for property. —lt isreported that Father Duehmig, ‘of Avilla, is negotiating for the purchase of land near Rome City, to be used as a Catholic school site. : —lt is said that the dam at Rome City is to be raised. and strengthened, the water power developed and a determined effort to secure the location of a number of manufacturing enter prises. —LaGrange Standard. : —The LaGrange Register records a solemn truth when it says: “You may take it for an absolute fact, that when a newspaper gives its space away for nothing in order to make a show of prosperity, it is in a bad candition every way.’’ —Estimates of the cost of a telephone line from Goshen to Bryap, Ohio, connecting Ligonier, Albion, Kendallyille, Waterloo and Butler are being made, and the project is being talked up in several of the towns. This would be a most excellent idea and we hope to see it carried out.

—The surveyor of LaGrange county has lately plated the town of Haw-Patch and it will soon be officially annouaced that such a yillage is in existance. The probabilities that a new railroad will strike that section in the ‘‘sweet bye and bye'’ constrains our neighbors to put on airs and be some body. : —The managers of the Sylvan Lake Hotel at Rome City have arranged for their fourth annual ball for Friday evening, February 13.. These balls are justly very popular and are always attended by a number of our young people. An elegant supper will be served as usual. The entire bill will be $1.50. Remember the date.

—Philip Beiscigel, the driver of Harper’s milk wagon,narrowly missed a bad accident yesterday morning near ‘the residence of W. A. Brown. One of the front wheels of his covered wagon suddenly came off, pltching the outfit against the ponies, who at once started to run away. In some way the driver managed to get out of the wreck with but few bruises, but the wagon was pretty badly torn up before the ponies were stopped.

—At Rome City one day last week two sons of Mrs. Noll resisted when she undertook to chastise them. One of them drew a butchier knife and sueceeded in cutting h‘:&' quite severely upon the hand. The authorities were informed, the boys were arrested, taken to Albion, where Judge Adair sentenced them to the reform school at Plainfield. That is the place for such children. There are more.in Noble county that should be there. —The Kendallville Sun. don’t like the way the city council runs things down that way and speaks right out in its criticism. There are reforms that the editors of the Sun want and they propose to have them if a big fight will get them. It is now provosed te elect. a ‘reform council’” upon a reform platform, so that they can have a reform public sentiment at their backs ‘when they endeavor to reform things. Verily, Kendallville wants réform. '

—The stock of boots and shoes that has been under the management of F. W. Shinke under tne firm name of A. Rink, is now in the hands of ¢ onstable Joray. who has advertised it for sale. The many old friends of Mr. Shinke will be pained to learn that he has been driven to the wall after his many years of hard work: and toil. Mr. Rink will also suffer heavily in the failure, but it is to be hoped that he will be able to save something from the wreck. : : —Hiram Roberts, one of the old citizens of Noble county, died at his residence near Kendallville, last Sun-day-at the advanced age of seventythree. Mr. Roberts came to Noble county in 1840, settling upon a farm in Allen township, and has since that time been a leading citizen of his section. His children, Mrs. J. R. Smith, Charles F. Roberts, of Kendallville, John E. Roberts, who is now in Australia, and Mrs. Rose Long, of this place, survive him.

—The Times at Goshen 1s publishing a series of articles upon the schools of that county during its early history, and mentioned the fact that Nelson Prentiss, of Albion, was among the pioneer teachers. A letter from Mr. Prentiss states that he taught school in Goshen in 1840, and-that 122 scholars attended school. He calls attention to the fact that ‘“more than half of that list of scholars have ‘passed over the river’ into the unknown land, while the aged teacher is still here conning the lessons of life. The first are often last and the last first.”’ :

—The Fort Wayne Journal recently printed a sensational story to the effect that when the insurance adjuster arrived at that place to settle with S. PKuhns for theloss of his barn by fire recently, Kuhns charged one of his gsons with firing the building, and claiming that the boy was heard to re. mark later that he knew of one piece of property his step-mother would not get. The most diligent inquiry here fails to find anything in the reported charge. Mr. Kuhns and the adjuster were there last week and ecffected a settlement, Kuhns filing an aflidavit as to the extent of his loss before Notary Public S. P. Stewart, but we can not learn anything of his charging his son with firing the barn.—-AvflFa Igews. ‘

—There is a negro patient in the London hospital who is thought to be dying from sleep. So strong is his propensity to sleep that even galvanie batteries are powerless to arouse him. —Last Sunday evening what seemed to be a big fire was noticed in the southeast. It appeared to be lucated at Albion and later reports put it at Wawaka, but inquiries at both points showed that no fire had occurred.

—lt is ‘reported here this morning that Jacob Kiser, of Sparta township, died last night of a complication of diseases. He was one of the best-known men in this part of the county, the father of Ex-Auditor W. S. Kiser and Ex-Sheriff Moses Kiser. . —Last Sunday Rev. J. W. Eby, of Elkhart, conferencc secretary of the Y. P. C. A. of the U. B. church, occupied the pulpit at the U. B. church. In the morning he preached an excellent sermon to the young people. In the afternoon a local branch of the Young People’s Christian Union was organized with a large membership.

—lt is said that F. W. Shinke has left town and will locate in another locality somewhere in Ohio. His family will follow soon and Mr. Shinke will again try to make a start in life. His conduct of his business affairs during the past few years has been such that many of his old friends who aided him by security, ete., are, left badly in the lureh. o e

’—The‘ hich compliment paid Miss Mae Parker by her teacher, Madame Biro de Marion, that of having one of the highest voices in this country or Europe, is a testimonial in which Kendallville generally takes as great pride as Miss Mae's most intimate friends. She undoubtedly has an eminent career before her as one of the mation’s sweetest singers. We believe the people of Kendallville would take it as an honor to be able to give her some testimonial of their concern in her future sucecess. —Kendallville Sun.

—OQur representative 1n the legislature, Hon. Jas. Roscoe, proposes to help the farmers of Noble county who are compelled to pay for the drainage of the Elkhart river, and has introduced a bill for that purpose. His bill provides that the county commissioners shall appropriate one-third of the expense in constructing the ditch. This is right. The drainage of such a large tract of land not only affects those who are compelled to foot the bills under the present laws, but it enhances the value of every acre of land in Noble county. The law should pass.

.—The montbly crop report, issued by the department at Washington, says of the growing crops in Indianma

““ Winter wheat and rye has rarely been in better condition at this season of the year.” It also says that “‘the remarkable warm and mild Weatherup! to December first.has kept the pastures Ip fine condition, grazing has,remainedg excellent, and much hay, ete. has been saved thereby, as live stock have been kept in fine condition with little feeding.”” It adds that “the corn _»ol'6ll,{ matfim‘e(l well, and that the hay crop', has proved the most profitable of the staple productions of the year’-’ e

—The Columbia City Post is informed that members of the LaGrange county bar are at work upon a scheme to have that county hitched upon the Noble and White county circuit. The Post objects. First, the circuit 1s large enough as it is. In the second place, it is opposed to being ‘buried pohtically. With LaGrange tacked on to our circuit there would be no possibility of electing a democratic judge. Besides it would require altogether too much work for one judge to attend to the work of the three counties. . The scheme should not be allowed to grow. —The legislature is after the fellows who have been dodging the assessor in listing their personal property for taxation. A bill has been introduced requiring the assessor to carry a stamp with him to be used to stamp notes, bonds, bills of exchange, etc, and rendering them uncollectable unless stamped and listéd for taxation. [t is not at all likely that this bill will pass, but something else will pass muaking it a very diflicult matter for a man to evade the listing of all his personul property. -Men should pay taxes according to thuir wealth and the law cannot be too strict. ‘ :

—The Michigan City Appeal says: “‘kew people and even the most interested persons, the convicts themselves. know what determines the penitentiary to which they are consigned for service when sentenced, and the question has been frequently asked as to the discretionary power of the presiding judge. He, however, has nothing to do with the case, for section 6,158, Revised Statutes of Indiana, provides that any man sentenced to state's prison from the counties of Warren, Fountain, Montgomery, Delaware, Boone, Madison, Rardolph and Marion, or from any county north of those named, shall be kept in the Northern Prison in this city. Those from the counties south of those named go to the prison gt‘,,.‘)'efi‘ersonvme. In rare cases a convict is transterred from one ‘prison to the other by a special order of the governor of the state.””

It is just.as natural to make errors in editing as it is for sparks to fly upwards. There is scarcely a week that, after the Reflector is issued, we do not feel like hireing some one to pound us for either saying things that we ought not to have said, or leaving unsaid things that ought to have been said.

- We again call the attention of our readers to the large advertisement of Dr. Fruth, in this issue of our paper. The doctor’s wonderful sueccess in bandling that class, of diseases which are beyond the skill of the general practitioner, is. already becoming a subject for comment in our community, Were there more like Dr. Fruth, with tne ability and disposition to spend their best. years in mastering diseases that others neglect, untold misery and many valuable lives would be sparéd. 'The increasing numbers that throng- his parlors at each suecceeding visit speaks well for the doctor. and shows a keen appreciation for superior skill and ability on the part of the afllicted. He again offers an opportunity fer iree consultation, which is sacredly confidential, in his parlors on Tuesday afternoon, February 3, 1891, from 2 to 9 p. m.
