EAST WALKER.

Sabbath school at the Hershman school house is in a prosperous condition with an average attendance of about thirty. Good interest is manifested and good work is being done. A series of meetings conducted by a Christian preacher of Rensselaer, commenced at the above

place last Tuesday evening and will continue until Saturday evening. G. W. Andrus and son, John, were in Chicago the first of the week buying building material and a buggy for John. Now is your chance, girls. The building enterprise is still booming. Fritz Bros. each have a fine new barn and John Schriber intends soon to commence a barn and wagon shed of large dimensions, while Alexander Schrader and Henry Bouk each intend building a new dwelling this season. Zick’s school was closed on account of the teacher, Miss Marie Erickson, being sick. Cattle buyers are numerous and prices are the best in four years or more. Mr. Laughlin and Falrey, creamery men, of San Pierre, intend to gather cream here this season. This creamery has always proved a grand success and farmers are much pleased to think they can sell to it again. THUNDERBOLT.
