WALKER ITEMS.

Some snow, but not enough for sleighing, still the boys live in hopes. Walker has had the reputation of being a rather dull, lonesome place, but the “Revival” conducted by the Rev. Falkner, at the Hershman School house, will certainly make things lively for a time. Mr. Jacob Shires lias moved west, (to Rose Lawn) to grow up with the town. ‘ Mr. Wm. Holle is making preparations to build a new barn in the Spring. * > Mr. Orlando Guard, of Marshall Co., will move on His mother’s farm and make Jasper his home in the future. John, and Will Meyers started our last Monday to buy cattle, but returned Friday reporting cattle scarce and prices high. Some of our hoys “took in” the cattle: show at Chicago and returned well pleased with the sights of the city. Miss Lottie Holle will spend the Holidays with relatives and friends at Cincinnati, her former home. 't N Spelling school and Literary at the Walker School * house, last Friday night was well attended. Tom Markins is still in “j * suit.” The young folks have organized a. Literary at the Hershman School House, we hope it will be carried on in a lively and interesting manner, so that all will feel justified in going. • The Trustee reports all the I schools in a flourishing condition.
