Through some of it was rather thin, yet it will be just as cold. The greater portion has been going to the Nappanee Creamery. - Goshen takes stock in mpst any new enterprise that may present itself, as they have the faith. A “Christian Healer” of Chicago has caught the idea and will remain with them for the time being. —At Goshen last Friday, Calvin Beck, a lad of 15 years, was placed under bond of SIOO to answer in the Circuit Court to the charge of theft. He, it is alleged, having stolen four dollars from Geo. Walters. —Wm. Johnson while driving across a bridge last Wednesday, north of Bremen, with a stone-boat, one of the planks broke and the piece struck him in such a way that he was thrown down and his leg broken. —An exchange gives the business in a nut-shell in saying that the way to lend substantial aid to the growth of a town is to patronize home manufacturers and home merchants in every way possible. A town is what the people make it. —A week ago Saturday, W. J.

—Smoke “Home Trade” cigars. —Miller the spectacle roan is at Hartmans.’ —R L. Lockwood. Homoeopathic Physician and Surgeon, VVakarusa. Ind. —ls this sleighing continues for a week or ten days, it will be worth several thousand dollars to Nappaiiee in the general order of things during the year. -The Nappanee Nkws says that the building prospects of that thriving village are looiniug up. Incorporation did it. Ko<citt*ko Standard. It is here all the same. A liberal dose of horse seose, taken at the proper time, will infuse new life into any community. —We frequently see reports of rabbit hunts, fox hunts, etc., and jet the j’oung ladies at Bsrlinton lately inaageratetl a skunk hunt, and never received even a passing notice. W e don t think they treed any. At least our informant said nothing to that efleet. Bremen Enquirer: William Hull: Sr., informs us that he lately purchased one section of land consisting of 040 acres, in the state of Alaoama. The land is heavily timbered with the best quality of yellow pine, which is gradually coming into demand. The consideration was $3,810. —lt is stated that J. B. Crossau, | formerly of Goshen, who has an interest in a sawmill at Harbor Springs, while working about the mill had his arm nearly sawed off, one day last week. The latest was to the effect that his arm was cut off above the elbow anil that he was in a critical condition. —E. W. Evans, of Lagrange county, died last week from the effects of haviog his legs crushed while hauling logs. Geo. Henderson of the same county, is j laid up from the result of a broken leg sustained in the same way, by haying a log roll upon his limb. The accidents occured only a few days apart. —And now comes the information that the Ligonier water works that were a disappointment to the citizens on first trial have proven a success, as the water supply obtained from wells to till the standpipe, has proven ample. In all these things our citizens are now interested, or will be in the future. —lt is said that near New Decker, a village in the southern part of this state, is a lake underneath which there is an oil well or spring. The oil rises to the surface and having been set on fire, burns continuously. People living in that neighborhood were at first greatly exercised over the phenomena. This advertisement now will show. The Nappanee people where to go, For boots and shoes of every kind. To suit the most fastidious mind. For those who bow at fashions’ shrine Please call on us, we do design To keep, what cannot fail to suit— The latest style in shoe or boot. —What is called the “plush saeque swindle” is said to' be abroad in the land. Os course, he has the usual “patent process,” and will return your garment looking like sealskin/ You let him have it of course, ami then discover that you are just one plush cloak or saeque short, when he fails to return it. 15 —Some of the citizens who labored so hard to defeat the project of incorporating the town, havn’t got thronght “kicking” yet. In fact it will be a continuous kick, though their number has dwindled down to almost a baker’s dozen. Whereas, their sympathy was once with the man who had to build a new sidewalk, it is now with the dog. —Elkhart Sentinel: Our merchants 'are continually appealing to the city papers to urge people to speud their money at home, and not go abroad for their goods. Let these merchants take a little of their own medicine by using and Beling only home made cigars. There is a great deal in “fashion” aud we shall all be the’gainers by getting our people in the habit of buying only at home. —The dealers in cigars are socondiug the idea of the News to encourage the use of home made goods, and the result is that the manufacturers already feel quite a large increase in their business, and more, say the outlook is fine for a good and growing business. Let the good wook go on. —Qoshen News. Try it on hero gentlemen, and the results will be healthful. You have just as good a cigar as is made iu the county for the money. * i Epoch. Thef transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured iu the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver and Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle at J. S. Walters’ drug store.

- If Long & Mitchell's cigars are not as good as any domestic cigar, why not? If thej - are, hj' not give them the - front” in your sales? If you want something that you can make more money on, they will give you as good goods as you can obtain in the foreign manufactured article with short filler, also. —Milford Mail: Milford is an incororated town with complete municipal machinery, including, we presume, a matshal. This last named dignitary we seldom hear of, have never seen, we somehow have a harrowing ■suspicion that the result of an election held considerable less than a year ago has entirely vanished his memory. —lt is said that stockholders in the Indiana building associations are greatly disturbed over a bill that has been engrossed in the senate taxing the capital invested in such associations by all persons who are not borrowers. A meeting of the building and loan associations of Fort Wayne was held recently to protest against the passage of the bill. --The man who does not take a paper was in town yesterday, sajs an exchange. He wiped his nose on an awning, tried to blow out the electric light at the hotel, then tried to light his cigar on it, paid twenty-five cents tor an almanac, put a nickel in the slot at th'e post-office and,fcicKed because his mail didn’t appear, wanted to lick the cashier of a bank because it closed at 4 o'clock, and watched the town clock for it to strike. —South Bend Times: There was a good turnout at the Prohibition hall last night to listen to the debate held there on the question: Resolved, “That women haye the right of suffrage conferred upon them at once on equal terms with the ureu.” The affirmative was haudled by Ilou. C. L. Murray. It was a lively time they bad in the earnest debate, aud the affirmative won in the argument. There will be other of these interesting debates from time to time. -It would not "cost anything, other than a bit of time, for our citizens to investigate the chances of obtaining the “Three I” road, mention of which is made in another column, from the Goshen News. Nappanee does not want the earth, but she wants all the railroads that come fooling around in these parts. In fact, we must be not unlike the fellow who always ate when an opportunity was presented, for the reason that he thought he might want to eat, when there was no opportunity. —The Warsaw Times says that Ezekiel French, who died in South Bead last week, aged 87 years, was one of the- first settlers of Kosciusko county. He was for a long time solicitous of making Oswego the county seat of Kosciusko, and with that end in view labored for many years. In 1848, ho had the contract from the government - for removing the last of the Pottowotamies and Miamis from that region to the lands set apart for them in Indian Territory. —Last Thursday the case of the State ys. Pierce Was disposed of in the Lagrange circuit eourt. The defendent was fin and in the sum of SSOO. and the court deferred judgment until the last of the term. For the offense in question the fine is placed by the statutes at not less than SSO nor more than SI,OOO, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail, for a term of six months. It will be remembered that Pierce was the sub-contractor on the C. & St. L. railroad construction gang, who one day assaulted two of his laborers who had been on a drunk the day previous and were not in a condition to do work when they were badly needed, which so enraged their employer that he gave them a severe beating with the handle of a scraper. Pierce claimed that be only struck the men on their bodies with the handle to awaken them from their drunken slumber, and afterward knocked them down with his fists. —The “drummer boy,” who was referred to in these columns last week, while he was an excellent performer on the snare-drum, he was adicted to playing on the head of a beer keg, hence he has been released after a fair trial, the band furnishing him necessary funds to return him to his former abode in Illinois. On Tuesday night he miscalculated iu tankage capacity, and being a stranger to the by-ways and allies about town, came out of the alley between Hartmans’ and Leslie’s Bro. & Co.’s buildings; turning too short a corner he hit the place where the railing or board that guarded the cellar-way was missing, and plunged headlong into the hole. There’s not a question but what a man with less appetite for liquor would have been brought out on a shutter, but as it was. the man only sustained several severe bruises from which ho has, presumably, mostly recovered by this time. The man is certainly to be pitied, as he couldn’t resist temptation even to hold his job. “Happy Home” Blood Pnrlfler Is the people's popular medicine for purifying the blood. Malarial diseases, etc. Large bottles 50 cents and SI.OO.

—Every business man should haw printed stationery. Prices are low am’ quality of work good at the News office. —John L. Blue, an <>)d and much respected citizen of Goshen, died on the 3d inst., aged 72 years. The deceased was one of the earliest settlers, having first settled in Goshen about 55 years ago. He afterwards Was in business in Elkhart and Middiebnry and then went to lowa. He also lived in Lafayette, but returned to Goshen, and for over 18 years was with A. F. Wilden. His wife died several years ago. Three children mourn his death— Ed Blue of Philadelphia, Arthur Blue of New Orleans, and Mrs. C. F. Brown of Mendon, Mich. •-* Recent reports have it that there are eighteen cases of small-pox in Milan township, Morgan county, Mich. The disease has got beyond the control of the local authorities. The residents are unable to meet the heavy daily expenses, and, as a last resort, a committee of citizens visited Gov. Luce recently, and he ordered an allowance of S4OO from the State Treasurer for the immediate need and to prevent a further spread of the diseas**. The doctor first pronounced the outbreak chichen-pox, and is now at death’s door himself with smallpox. —Elkhart Sentinel: Henry Kohler, who was sent to Goshen about ten days ago to board out a tine, returned Thursday. aud is now in the lock-up again on a charge of assault with intent to kill, the crime having been committed on ; the person of his father. Henry got drunk Thursday, and went to his home and “jumped" his father, and made all kinds of threats. The examination for assault with intent to kill his father, resulted in his being held in one thousand dollars bond for his appearance before the circuit court. -The Daily News Almanac aud Politi~ cal Register for 1889 has beeu received. This is now the fifth year of this publication. and it is only the truth to say that every volume has been better thau its predecessor. The issue for 1889 more than maintains the regular progression of improvement. It will withstand the most minute criticism, aiid we have no hesilency in commending it to those seeking valuable Information to be found under the above title. For tbe price, 25 cents, it is certainly a work that can be prized higher than anything of its kind now on the market. —The Coppes Brothers’ mill-yards have received a vast amount of sawtimber within the last ten days. Much of the heavy hauling has been postponed in hopes that sleighing would help out. So far there seems uo particular inducement to let ones' mind run in that direction, though sleighing is yet among the possibilities. Since the above was in type the snowfall of Sunday night and Monday was the means of making good slyighing. We learn that a couple of of sleighiug would swell the number of feet of saw-timber on their yards to not less than 4,000,000. <4 —The man Drabelle, alias Borden, who it was mentioned several weeks since as obtaining money from a Goshen grocer, uuder the pretense that he was authorized to collect for the firm of Fox Bros., at Ft. Wayne, was taken in by the Goshen officers at Elkhart last week. He had been traced to Battle Creek, thence to Sturgis and finely located in the town where he was captured. His preliminary examination resulted in his being bound over to the Circuit Court in the sum of SSOO, in default of which he was remanded. Louis Fox. of Ft. Wayne, was one of the witnesses at the trial and it is said that Drabelle's pedigree was read by hitn pretty thoroughly. He is likely to do time at Michigan City. —ln a lengthy report of the re-union of the old 48th at South Bend last Thursday, that left Camp Ellis, in Goshen, on February 7th, 1862, the Trilb une of that place, among other things, says: Among those who made brief and spicy remarks appropriate to the occasion where Col. Rugg, Capt. J. A Roper, of Mishawaka, J. B. Stoll, of the Times, Capt. A. M. Burns, N. D. Richardson, of Michigan, Hon. C. L. Murray the old regimental quartermaster, and others. Col. Wm. Hoynes, of Notre Dame, entered the hall while the speech-mrkiug was in progress, and when his presence became known he was caller upon for some remarks. Ho responded in his usual happy style and bis remarks were received with loud applause. This concluded the speech-making and the re-union was practically at an end. The next re-union will be held Feb. 7th, 1890, in Ligonier. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at J. S. Walters’ drug store as their giving away to their c ustomers of so many free trial bottles erf Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consnmp ;ion.
