ted. It is said that a certain portion is covered by insurance. Dr. Hamilton succeeded in saving a few of his household effects. The LaPorte street bakery has changed hands, Mr. Steele stepping out.

Ray Kendall entertained a party of young folks last Friday e'ening in honor of his guest Ed Hessel and Vera Brooke, of Warsaw. A pleasant time was enjoye'd by all present. John C. Kuhn, P. G.; Gus AVolf, Sect.; and many of the officers and members of Americus Lodge I. O. O. F. No.Dl attended the meeting of South Bend Lodge No. 29 on AVednesday evening. . The man who takes more papers than he can read, is the man, when in need of a good word, goes to the home paper. Yet two times out of three he would sacrifice his home paper for a city daily. A number of our correspondents have been omitted this Aveek owing to the lateness of arriving at this office. Our correspondents should see that their letters come here no later than Thursday morning. The newspapers of a generation ago may have been a more scholarly production than the average sheet of the present day but as a newspaper it was of little account, comparatively. The day of newspaper essays has gone by. People now read their papers to learn what

is going on in the world and not to learn what some pedantic individual thinks about something that he knows nothing about. The Dunkard churches are contemplating the erection of a school building at Nappanee. It is proposed to start on a small scale at first, the amount to be raised at the present time, being 10,000. A surprise party was given in honor of Mrs. Prof. Redds birthday, at her home on LaPorte street, AVednesday; evening last, by the members of the M. E. choir. It was a very plesant social affair. The Ross House under the management of Bowell A: Lamson is moving along i;i good shape. They are refitting some of the rooms, and transcient customers will find that hostelry up to the times. Best and the cheapest 80 cent tea for GO cts. 40 cent tea for 30 cts. 30 cent tea for 23 cts. Best tea dust 10 cts. At II. & II. It is reported that quite a large number of fish have been caught just below the dam during the past week. Many people have cut holes in the ice and tried their luck there and all report good catches. C. Firestone wl has been confined to his house, and whose life for a short time was despaired of, we are glad to announce is able to be around, although not fully recovered his usual health and strength. Casper Conrad, who is a typo on the Bremen Enquire, made this office a pleasant call Monday afternoon. He was in Plymouth attending a law suit that Avas brought here for trial from that place. AVill Lankenaw and Ed II. Kuhn went to South Bend on AVednesday and AATestled Avith the goat in the second and third degrees I. O. O. F., at Lodge No. 29. They returned Thursday full Hedged Odd Fellows. Marriage Licenses. The following licenses were issued by County Clerk Snyder during the past week: Frederick Cable, Capitola AVarner; Ora Clark, Emma Apple; Sila Robinson, Huldah Devine. Lillybridge handles the Farrand & Vorty, and II. Lahn organs, New Home sewing machine, and the Starr piano, all new, no second hand goods, all at astonishing low prices. Give him a call. Miss Kate Schoner entertained about 24 of her lady and gentlemen friends, at the residence of Peter J. Kruyer, North Center street, AVednesday evening in honor of their guest Miss Lizzie Kruyer, of Michigan City. The merchants who advertise form one of the most influential factors in the up-building of a town and its commercial interests. Partiality should be shown the advertising merchants, other things being equal. There is a week of prayer being held at the Reform church this Aveek. Rev. I. Rothenberger is conducting the services. It is more than probable that this prayer service may be extended for a week or two longer. Mr. and Mrs. Doc Evans entertained a company of young people numbering about twenty, at their home two miles west of this city, last Friday evening. Oysters were served, and all in all they spent a very pleasant evening. Mr. AV. M. Kendall and daughter Mary, left Monday night for Indianapolis, where they will enjoy a few days visit. Mr. Kendall will also participate in the pleasure of attending the organization of a republican legislature. Rev. J. J. Faude, former rector of St. Thomas church, of this city, stopped off a few hours Saturday to call on friends while on his way home to Minneapolis, from Indianapolis, where he attended the funeral of Bishop Knickerbocker. The First National Bank of Marshall county held their annual stockholders meeting on Tuesday evening. All the old directors were re-elected as follows! M. A. O. Packard, Jerry Plain, John M. Shoemaker, Chas. P. Drummond, Jas. A. Gilmore. The "Art Portfolio of the AVorld," which we give new subscribers in connection Avith the Independent for $2.50, is the finest 500 page illustrated book ever presented to our citizens for the money. See the book then express your opinion. Hon. M. AV. Simons left AVednesday for Indianapolis to take up his duties in the legislature, to which honorable position he Avas elected last fall. Mrs. Simons accompanied her husband, and will bear him company during his sojourn at the capital. At the annual meeting of the officials of the Plymouth State Bank on Tuesday evening, the old directors Avere, re-elected as follows: Henry Humrichouser, Theo.- Cressner, Chas. T. Mattingly, John Blain, David E. Snyder, Henry (J. Thayer and Oliver G. Soice. It is a fact that may not be gennerally known that copper cents and two-cent pieces are legal tender only to the extent of twenty-live cents; therefore a man is not obliged to accept them in payment for a greater amount. Three and five cent nickel pieces are also legal tender, only to the amount of twenty-five cents. Silver dollars are legal tender to the

amount of only five dollars if the receiver is so inclined to be troubled with a greater amount. But we have yet to see the man who would call a halt at the five dollar limit. Mr. C. M. Mattingly, returned the latter part of the week from an extended trip to Nashville, Tenn., where he had been for several days in the interest of the Indiana Lumber Company. He reports times improving, but not wholly recovered from the late financial stringency. A letter from Mr. McK. Ilolliday, of Lexington. Neb., to Mr. Tanner, m i which he acknowledges the receipt of the money sent by our people, has been received. He is very enthusiastic over the prompt answer to their appeal, and sends heartfelt thanks for the generous gifts. AVe are informed that Mr. E. Spangle the jeweler who removed to Argos from Plymouth, is once more going into business in this place. He has rented the building formerly occupied by Mr. Kleinschmidt's tailoring establishment, and will be ready for business about the 15th. Several of AValkerton's citizens came to Plymouth last Sunday and were Aery much disturbed to lind this town dry. No amount of persuation would induce any of our saloon keepers to furnish any wet goods and the AValkerton contingent had to leave town with their thirst unquenched. The following was the program at the Salvation headquarters last Saturday night at Valparaiso. "The Drunkard's Home, or The Living Pictures," in six acts. (1.) A Discontented Home. (2.) Saloon Scene. (3.) Open air Scenes. (4.) Indoor Meeting. 5.) Drunkard's Home (6.) Happy Home. The decision rendered by the United States in regard to the selling of butterme has caused the suspension of the J butterine works at Hammond, Ind. AVe will venture the assertion that there are thousands of pounds of what is known as country butter that is less palatable, and more harmful than butterine. Skating above the dam has been very good for the past week and every afternoon and eA'ening the ice is covered Avith graceful skaters. On Saturday last we heard a certain lady complain that she could not purchase a pair of skates in this city. All the dealers here had entirely sold out their stock in this line. AVill E. Leonard Jr. has had the U. S. Express office repainted and papered and with new carpets on the floor, a fine base burner heating stove and various embelishments as artistic accessories. This office is now the neatest and best arranged of any in this section. It is certainly a big improvement and an ornament to this city. The following are the officers elected for the ensuing year for the M. E. Sunday school: Superintendent, John AV. AViltfong; 1st assistant, Mrs. P. Disher; 2nd assistant, AV. E. Leonard; secretary, Chas. AViltfong; treasurer, A. Jones. AVe are also informed that the Sunday school will hereafter occupy the audience room used for preaching services. The new banking hours inaugurated by the First National and the Plymouth State banks, may have caused some degree of inconvenience to those who did not notice the change of time advertised j last week, but it is a move in the right j direction in every way. Plymouth has long since ceased to be so small a village that its residents have to do their banking after supper. AVe have heard it currently reported that there are prospects of a union depot being arranged for the patrons of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines, as we are informed the A'andalia is now under the same management as the P. Ft. AV. The improvements needed would not be of an extensive character, and would to a degree facilitate travel between the two roads. The funeral of Mrs. Catherine AVickey, wife of Joseph AVickey, living north of this city, took place Sunday morning at the Catholic church of this place, Rev. Father Moench officiating. About four years ago Mrs. AVickey had a stroke of paralyses, which rendered her speechless and a few weeks ago received another stroke from the effects of which she died. She leaves a husband, son and daughter to morn their loss. A small blaze occurred Thursday noon in the house owned by John Cushman, on AVest Garro street. Mr. Payne, of In wood, was taking dinner with the family, and when he discovered the fire he did not call for the fire department, but climbed up a tree, and from there to the roof and extinguished the fire. Mr. Payne although past GO years of age did the work in a manner that would have elicited applause from a hook and ladder man. An exchange has the following: If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life, forget your neighbor's faults, forget the slander you have heard, forget the temptations, forget the faultfinding and give a little thought to the causes that provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends and only remember the good points that make you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels or of histories that you. may have heard by accident, and which, if repeated would seem h thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life; they will come; but they will only grow larger when you remember them; the

constant thought of the acts of meanness - worse still -malice -will only tend to make you more familiar. Obliterate everything bad from yesterday, start out with a clean sheet for to-day, and write upon it for sweet memory's sake only those things that are lovely and lovable. C. C. Miles went to Bremen last Monday and arrested William Davis and a man named Amnions charged with assault with deadly weapon. Davis was tried on Monday and acquitted. Amnions remained in jail till AVednesday afternoon when his ease was tried beI fore Justice Reeve. Davis has the local reputation of being a desperate man to tackle and was formerly known as "Wild Bill." Constable Miles did not however experience any great difficulty in persuading him to accompany him to Plymouth. The following from the pen of one of the b. st writers of the day contains so much sound sense that we feel it is a duty we owe to our many farmer readers to copy it: "There is too much spirit among farmers to take up with strangers going through the country offering inducements in the way of trade in groceries, etc. They seem to be suspicious of the men who are doing business in town men who are honest, men who are responsible. The business men of your town are not robbers, who want your money for nothing. The people in the country must not think that a man can do business without making something at it, nor can he do business long and make fabulous and unjust profits. Competition in trade is so strong in these days that big profits are impossible. To the farming community I would say, stay by the business men of your own vicinity and they will stay by you. Listen not to the wily tramp peddler, for when your goods do not turn out as represented he has vanquished like the dew of the morning. A Change. Our people as a rule are not familiar with the words of the British national anthem, although the air is the same as that to which our own beautiful "America" is sung. It is interesting to observe that English subjects are becoming dissatisfied with their hymn. The first stanza, winding up with "God save the Queen," is all right. No loyal Britisher eA'er fails to sing that at the top of his most robust voice at every opportunity, no matter in what part of the country he may be. But the second stanza is not so acceptable. In fact, there is an evident disposition in some quarters to boycott it. The Montreal witness notes that the Presbytery of Toronto at its meeting last week ordered this verse omitted from the national anthem as printed in the hymnal and sung by Presbyterian bodies. It runs as follows: O Lord our (I od ari-o. Scatter her enemies And make them fall: Confound tlieir politics. Frustrate their knavWi ti k-k. On tliee our liojus we fix. i:od vave us all. It certainly is rather shaky poetry, and also pretty tough sentiment for a Christian nation in these latter days of enlightment and toleration. To be sure, it breathes something of the militant spirit of the psalmist in his most bellicose frame of mind, and it is not out of keeping with some British practices in the past. But the Toronto Presbyterians are doubtless wise and right in dropping it. How would a verse like this do as a substitute? Oh j;reat John Hull, to tin'. T.oss of the land and sea. We tril'iite pay. You'll rule ly wiie or might; Your running's "out of si-tii;" In Itosslnj you delight, l'or that's your way. This may be no better poetry than the eliminated verse, but it has at least the merit of truthfulness to nature. Ex. Twin Lakes. A surprise party given at the residence of A. A. Miller in honor of his birthday, he having arrived at the age of 02 years. The event was a great social one being attended by at least seventy-five people. Befreshnients were served and not until the small hours of the night did the company seperate to go to their several homes. Protracted services are still in progress at Stuck's school house, with largo attendance and increased interest. Owing to the meetings at the school house there will be no literary Friday night. It is expected to meet next Friday night. There was quite an interesting dog trade consumated last Monday night at Belden's store. - Owing to the condition of the lake some of out young men are enabled to cross to the other Fide of the lake without much trouble. The evenings, now, are occupied by the denizens of Twin Lakes spinning yarns around the stove at Belden's ttore. B. L. Nichols, who returned to this section Friday week, received a reception by the boys Tuesday night. Notice of Assignee's Sale.
