WALKER ITEMS.

The prospects for crops are slim, on account of wet weather. Many of the farmers are talking of emigrating west. Mr. Austin Way has sold his farm, and will go into business at San Pierre. Many of our young folks took in the excursion on the 1.1. &I. railroad, on the Fourth. D. M. Guard is spending the vacation in Rose Lawn. Mrs. Harrison Ferrel and daughter, of Logansport, are visiting relatives and friends at this place. Many of the farmers subscribed sums of from two to ten dollars, for the station on the 1,1. & 1., to be located at Wheatfield. The people of the Southern’ part of the .county generally suppose that Walker is within the bounds of Nubbin Ridge, but they are badly mistakken, for we now support three Sunday schools, and five preachers. Beat that! The librarian of the Pleasant Grove School house has been impreached and J. W. Tanner elected in his stead. Ths Rev. Miller will preach at the Walker School house Sunday, July 22", at four o’clock p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shirer, of Wheatfield, spent the Fourth with friends at this place.

LONG BILL.
