WALKER AND KNIMAN.

The farmers have commenced planting corn. Mrs. Spry, of Lake Village, was visiting at W. P. W oodard's this week. Mrs. Jacob Breyfogle is on the sick list. John Brady, of Momence, 111., was in our town on business Wednesday. Lemuel Stockwell has returned home from Chicago, where he has been visiting the past winter. Cora Draste, of Rose Lawn, was visiting her sister Ella this week. F. M. Goff has commenced work on his new residence and when completed will be the finest in our town. Several of our young people attended the dance at Wm* Grube’s, at Stoutsberg, Saturday evening and reported a good time. W. P. Woodard made a flying trip to Kentland on Tuesday last.

Wm. Hoile and family were the guests of J. W. McGlinn’s on Sunday. Herman Flugel and Silas Mooney started for the wild west Monday. They got as far as Fair Oaks, when they returned home. They think Walker is the best place yet. J. W. McGlinn, our popular candidate for post master, dined with Congressman Hammond on Saturday last. He says there is no doubt but that he will get the office now as Hammond has the record of his entire life. W. D. Hudkins, of Kewanna, Ind., was visiting here this week. Our Sabbath school is in a flourishing condition. Our creamery started Monday and several of our citizens are seen wending their way in that direction for fresh butter-milk.

It is a common thing to see a dozen men and boys playing marble on our streets at any time. We think they could engage in something more useful. Our business man says it’s impossible for him to get goods from Chicago on account of the World’s Fair. More Yet.
