I Robert Roberts drives one of the finest ■span of bays that comes to town. I The normal school, under the manage■ment of Prof. Barber, will close July 16. I Charlie Byers threshed his wheat, had a ■ yield of 20 bushels 1o the acre, and said lit had only been “hogged” in at that. Messrs. Stephens & Jones are fitting |up the rooms over Grosshans’ wagon shop ■ for a paint shop. Success to the artists Postmaster Rogers put a new safe in ■ the office this week. Exie was afraid to ■ risk him any longer and had him get a ■ safe. | Calvin Moon, County Superintendent, | will hold a teachers’ examination in the I high school building, Walkerton, on Sat. ■ urd ay, J uly 17. Charlie Byers had a Fourth of July I celebration in earnest. The most notable I celebrator being a young Miss Byers who I got there about the middle of the day, | J uly 4. William Miller purchased of his brother, I August Miller, a house and lot on Avenue | F for the sum of three hundred dollars. I Mr. Miller expects to put an addition to I the house. Frank Quirk, who was compelled to I abandon his telegraph office at Plymouth I on account of lung trouble, and whose life at one time was almost despaired of, | is slowly improving, Dr. Arlington reI ports. We interviewed C. W. N. Stephens, the bread-stuff buyer, and learned that new wheat ruled during the fore part of the week at 65 and 68 cents per bushel —a loWer ebb than she’s teched for many a year. J. H. Conrad, of near South Bend whose age we are unable to ascertain defin. itely, but is said to have been about nine-ty-eight years of age, expired last Thurs day night, and was buried Friday. The almost centennarian was a grandfather of Mrs. John Garrett, of this place. We were conversing with a gang of the W alkerton doctors the other day, when one of them remarked that he was having a good practice, and that he was attend, ing to it dilligently. He said that it con. sisted mainly in practicing economy. There was a mutual agreement among the whole batch that they all had quite a practice. The “Swipers,” of Walkerton, and the Mishawaka nine played a lively game oi bal.l in Springbrook Park, near Misha waka, on the 4th. The game resulted in a victory for the Walkerton boys, the lat. ter scooping the Mishawakas 15 to 10. Quite a number of our citizens, both la. dies and gentlemen, drove over to witness the gameMichael Blue, of North Liberty, it is argued, said some nasty things to Mr. Albertson, of the same place, for which Constable Whittaker brought the aforesaid Blue before his honor U. F. Town send, of this place, who, upon the promise of real good behavior on the part of the aforesaid Blue, discharged him, probably with the injunction to go and talk nasty no . more. Two or three days after the first issue of this paper came out, an individual came in the office and asked, “Why didn’t I get a paper? ” We modestly replied that we did not know unless it was that they hadn't subscribed. However, the file was torn down and the only paper left was handed the party with the remark that we supposed of course they wanted the paper sent to their address. The reply was, “well, I don’t know, I’ll see. That's right, come right in, pompously and dig nified, call for a paper, get it, don't subscribe, walk out. Walkerton has five regularly licensed saloons; and what then? This much then. On Saturday, July 3rd, the day celebrated here, the saloons were not obliged to keep closed doors, it not being a legal holliday. And then what? An immense throng of people gathered here, all had more or less money —a good many, less — and drunkenness was about as scarce as cat’s feathers. The Independent was on the qui vive on that occasion, from early morn—9 o’clock —until a reasonable hour in the evening—the Independent always seeks its virtuous couch at a seasonable hour- —and we saw really but one drunken •nan during the entire time, and he didn’t all as heavily as some we have seen. Il his argues anything, it argues .strongly in favor of temperance in this locality. Is there a town within the radius of the circulation of this paper that can truly say as much for its temperance proclivities? Following immediately upon the heels of the establishing of the Independent was the establishing of a division on the B. & O. R. R. for the local freight trains, at this place. Isn’t it plain that a newspaper is -.n indispensable adjunct to a town? . i new arrangement will increase the town’s population about sixty, for it will make headquarters for twelve men, and counting, according to the old rule, five to the family, and you have it. The presumption is that these men will build and the town thus much advantaged. But then Walkerton’s resources are great, not a foot of waste land within miles and miles. Hay, you know, sells. South Bend thinks our marshes are worthless. Doc. Loring has fitted up an office over Eli Rensberger’s grocery store. See his ad. in another column.

Personal Points. Dan Beall was in Chicago the fore part of the week. Schuyler C. Fulmer returned to South Bend on Monday. Noah Shoemaker was in Laporte the fore part of this week. Mis. Jacob Bender and son are here from Goshen on a visit. Silas George was in South Bend on Monday and Tuesday on business. Miss Sadie Place returned to her home at Waverly, Ind., on last Tuesday. Charlie Robbins has gone to Lakeville to buy huckleberries for Nick Schroeder. Mrs, H. C. Wheeler, of Niles, Mich., is visiting with the family of Dr. Smith. Mother Van Pelt, of Mishawaka, who has been visiting at Dr, Smith's, has returned home. Mrs. Fanny Haynes, nee Young, of Miami county, this state, is here visiting with her sister, Mrs. Noah Shoemaker. E. I-eibole has returned from Buchanan, Mich., and will superintend the building of the addition to the M. E. church. Attorney Henry Robbins, formerly of this place, but now of Knox, favored this office With a call while in town last Wednesday. Bremen Enquirer: Grant Tank, one of Walkerton’s agreeable young men, while in town favored us with a call last Monday. Rev. A. M. Work, of Rochester, Ind., preached for the Presbyterians at this place Monday evening. He also made this office a call. Cole Woodworth and Will Leroy, with their ladies, drove over to LaPorte on the 4th to witness the celebration at that place. Wallace Ballinger is making arrangements to move his family to Hegewisch, 111., a place of about fifteen hundred population. He has a situ ation in the car shops at that place. Charles Granger informs us that while visiting in Garrett last week he made dilligent inquiry in reference to the babies there and learned that there were sixteen pairs of twins in that town. Charlie is an excellent reporter, Frank Cimmerman, of South Bend, w"s in town the fore part of the week. He was off for a week’s vacation, and went from here to Lake Maxenkuckee to enjoy the pleasures of that popular summer resort. Miss Jennie Ryder, a very estimable young lady of Plymouth, who taught school here last winter, has been visiting friends for several days in this place. She has received an appointment to teach in Elkhart, this state, next winter. Frank Hostetter has returned from Ann Arbor university, which institution he has attended for the past two years, a graduate in law. He intends to read another year with some good lawyer before entering regularly upon the practice of his profession. The Independent wishes Frank the utmost success in the high and noble profession which he has chosen for a life calling. Farmers hare begun to thresh their wheat, and the new product is already being brought to this market. Lew Arnold was on the sick roll r few days and was sadly missed by the meat eaters of Walkerton. Lew gets the best steak out of a beeve’s neck of any cutter we ever hud in this place. On Monday last while Kirk Brown was driving on a reaper, on the Sheatsly farm, was from some unknown cause thrown off and sustained a severe injury upon the back of the head, a wound having been indicted near three inches in length. Dr. Arlington in attendance. On last Saturday during the progress of the sham battle an accident occurred, which has too often been the case, in consequence of shooting too low. At one time when the opposition were in close contact some one fired so low that George Warner received the charge in his left eye which in all probability will eventuate in the loss of the eye if not in the loss of his life. ’ At this writing we have not heard from Warner, who was sent to a hospital in Chicago. Later. —A telegram was received by Dr. Arlington Wednesday at 5 o’cTock, p. m., stating that Warner's eye had been taken out. but that he was doing nicely. G. A. R. SHORT LINE TO SAN FRANCISCO.

A lawn social was held at Commissioner Place’s residence last Monday evening-, in honor of his sister, Miss Sadie Place, of Waverly, Ind., which was a'pleasant affair and largely attended. Mr. Plaee has a beautiful lawn, which was brilliantly illuminated for the occasion. Among the pastimes of the even ing were vocal and instrumental music, games appropriate to the occasion, to say nothing of,the ice cream, corn bread, etc., etc., which Mr. and Mrs. Place carefully provided for their guests. Miss Place, in honor of whom the social was given, is an accomplished and charming young lady, and has become a favorite with the young society of this place. Silk veiling in all colors, 35c. per yard, at the Philadelphia Store. Sam Hudlemyer is buying slathers of huckleberries, if you know how many that is. If there is an establishment in town chat deserves a liberal pat ronage, it is the Philadelphia store, kept by jolly Jake Bender. Jake is a fellow of fine tastes and has the prettiest store and the finest goods ever brought here. Adam Baugher keeps five brands of wheat flour, corn meal, bolted and unbolted, corn, shelled, and on the cob, buckwheat flour, giaham flour, rye flour, chopped teed, bran, oats, middlings, etc. Now this is an establishment such as Walkerton has long felt a need of, and now that it has it, the citizens thereof should patronize it when in need of commodities kept there.

Brown desire to return thanks to the rolling mill company, of South Chicago, who so kindly defrayed the hospital and funeral expenses of their son. We would like a good correspondent at North Liberty, Teegarden, Tyner, and other surrounding iowds. No smart Alecks need apply—the “funny business” we can attend to ourself. The question of putting down an artesian well about midway of the centre block, in this place, is now being agitated. Well, it no doubt would be well enough to put down a well of that kind. As we have said in another column, this is a temperance town, and the facilities for procuring the sparkling beverage should by all means be increased. But seriously, an artesian well is a desideratum. OBITUARY. Died. —Charles E., son of H. H. and Mary E. Brown, aged 16 years, 1 month and 22 days, at St. Luke’s hospital, Chicago, Friday, July 2, from injuries received in the rolling mills at South Chicago. The deceased was buried at this place, Sunday, July 4, the funeral taking place from the Presbyterian church. Services conducted by Rev. Merrell. The funeral was largely attended. Sam Hudlemyer has come to the relief of the Independent. This paper desires to report at least one good, square runaway and smashup a week. Sam has one of the finest black colts in these parts, and he hitched it the other day where it was almost compelled to run away or get run over by the Wabash train. The colt did nobly, ran for all that was out, got away from the train safely, if it did string Sam’s wagon into smithereens.
