THE INDEPENDENT, A Paper for Everybody. ADVERTISING RATES: One column for one year, $80; locals, 5 cts. per ine for one insertion; for three insertions, 10 cts. per line. WALKERTON, IND., JULY 31, 1886. Political Announcements. Ed. Independent: Please announce my name as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of St. Joseph county, subject to the decision of the county republican convention. Isaac Clark. Toxvxx and Connty. Old papers 5 cents a dozen at this office. The Argus wants a military school in LaPorte. A good yield of pickles brings about SIOO to the acre. Tom Dougherty will finish that building yet. See if he don,t. The much abused cucumber is rapidly getting itself in a pickle. The new building across the way got another boost this week. The republican postmaster at Stillwell still retains his position. Frank Quirk, who is suffering with lung trouble, is said to be quite low. George Guise is a great, lover of art. See some of his artistic samples. The law is very stringent against allow ing Canada thistles to go to seed. The pleasant occupation of picking pickles is picking up a little. Jake Taylor has been having a big run of custom at his boarding house of late. The pickles raised on 550 acres of ground are being brought to this salting factory. Miss Cora Knapp, who was bitten by a rattle-snake, particulars of which were given in our last issue, is doing well George Warner, who had his eye blown out at the sham battle here and went to Chicago for treatment, has returned much better. The Huckleberry Queen delivered the valedictory at the marsh the other day. and there'll be no more school there r about three years. Over thirteen hundred dollars worth of snake stories were told in 'A alkerton and vicinity last week. This is no market for small snake stories. The huckleberry marsh has been entirely burned out, root and branch, and the wisacres predict that there will be no more berries for three years. So mote it be. The doings are practically over at the huckleberry marsh, ihe Queen dismissed the sraug stating that she was completely ‘‘disgusted” this year with the proceedings in her dominion. We don't want our exchanges to think that we have nothing but pickle factories, slat factories, huckleberries and the like. We want them to know that we also have hay presses, etc. Talk up graveling the roads to Teagarden and Gro vertown. That’s right. There isn't anything that will build up a town quicker than good roads, and good stores, like Jake Bender has Adam Baugher has sold a one half interest in his flour and feed store to Edward Simmons. These gentlemen, in addition to flour and feed, propose to cary a line of meats and provisions. Those who feel hat they don't care to pay a doctor's bill can trot up to Sam Ross and get an order on Dr. Moore, who is now the regularly appointed doctor for the indigent of Lincoln township. Hand in items if you please—anything. If there’s nothing in them no matter, we’ll exagerate, dilate upon, extenuate, delineate, promulgate and swell them to immense proportions. News we must give. The Independent is being sent to a good many quite remote from here who were formerly citizens of this place, and we must hear from them soon or the pa per will be stopped. We can't afford to buy paper to give away. To-day (Monday) everything, nearly, in the shape of vegetation is crisp and dry, so to speak. We even know of men who are quite dry. Farmers, who ought to know, tell us that but very few more days without rain will suffice to completely de stroy the corn crop. There is considerable corn whiskey in bond yet, however. Somebody said in the open air the other day that this office should be mobbed for printing some posters for seme of those doing business at the hucKleberry marsh. For the benefit of the party thus airing themselves we would say that the bills were not worded, written nor dictated at this office. Neither is there a disrespectful word, phrase or sentence in them. South Bend, LaPorte or Plymouth would have printed them for pay, just as we did. Straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel is played out. Maybe, however, the party meant that this office should be “mopped” —if so, correct. How a farmer can do without his local paper, is a question hard to decide. He gets his agricultural paper, say, and one, of course, from his county seat, imparting news and useful information respectively. But now, he lives, say, 8, 10, 15 and even 20 miles from his county seat and seldom goe. there but has a trading point, for instance, Walkerton; his interests are th. re, he trades th^re, that's where he sells his products, and that is just w: v he should take his local paper. He cr -ee by that who the live merchant is, by his advertise ments. He thus keeps pace with the . lively turn of things.

Hog cholera prevails in the yicinity of Mishawaka. A son was born to the wife of Schuyler Paul, Tuesday, July 27. Weight IC pounds. One old farmer said that the drouth had Killed all his corn, even the corns on his toes. Fred Decker has been added to the corps of lightning short-hand reporters for this paper. The M. E. church, now undergoing repairs, will, when finished, be both capacious and convenient. Rev. Merrill delivered an interesting discourse to a large and attentive audience Sunday evening last at the Presbyterian church. Lay in your supply of whiskey for snake bites. The dry weather will probably cut the corn crop short. Trains on the B. A O. and 1. P. C. railroads are running on new time schedules recently adopted by both roads. The plasterers have begun operations on the M. E. church The carpenter work will be suspended until the plastering is finished. It is reported that a hail storm so severe that considerable stock was killed thereby, visited the vicinity of Plyipouth last Monday evening. Father Crowle, of Chesterton, this state, will preach to the Catholic folks, of this place, at their church a week from to morrow, Sunday• It is reported that a heavy shower of rain visited Plymouth on Monday last, while it was dry and hot as a bake oven in this place. The Sunday schools of Walkerton have a large attendance, and a great deal of interest is taken in conducting them by the leaders. Robert Robison says that at this time (Tuesday) the corn on the Island is badly injured by the drouth, and that no amount of rain can now fully restore it. Riley Ball secured the contract for building the Jordan school house. Riley's father’ was the trustee under whose super vision the old one was erected 21) years ago. Teter Cimir erraan, of South Bend, and Charles Warner, of Chicago, have opened a bakery in the room between Ronsberg« r's grocery and Baugher & Simmons’ flour and feed store. Remember the injunctions of this sheet two or three issues ago in reference to sanitary measures. Hot weather and slouchy pig pens gem ..Je i3-2uk.rj.uk . u and shut cramps. Dave Petrie, secretary of the base ball nine of this place, received word this week from the Nappanee club that th* y would play the WalKerton boys some time during the month of August. Any one who will read every item in this issue, file an affidavit, and prove by thirteen competent witnesses that they did it, wu will give a nice little "puli' " in our next issue—for Hye cents a line. We call your attention to the notice of the American Mutual Life and Accident Insurance Association’s advertisement. it mav be somewhat dry reading for you, but it may be of practical benefit. Querinius Augustine, a German night watchman at the Perkins wind mill fae tory, Mishawaka, committed suicide recently. He was 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and several children. His remains were taken to Peru, this state, for interment. An Old Fellow about a hundred and sixty years old came into the office the other day with a tin pail about the same age, and wanted us to repair it. He evidently took us for a tin shop. Now, once for all. this office stands right by John Henry Garrett's United States Express Office, and no tinware need apply. We know of a town no larger than Walkerton, with but little better, if any, farming country surrounding it, with no more territory to diaw from, having less manufactories and but one railroad, that has two banks, and both are said to pay a handsome dividend. What's the matter with Walkerton having one? James Blain, an old and well-known citizen of this community, residing two miles west of town, reports the corn and potato crops in his locality as badly injured in consequence of the drouth. He says there will be only about a half crop of corn and potatoes. He reports bis large crop of pickles, however, as looking well, and with a timely rain he believes there will be a good crop. A Surprise Grant Tank. About fifty of the boys and girls, dudes and dudesses, surprised Grant Tank last Monday evening, it being the occasion of his 22d birthday. The evening was passed pleasantly after the old fashion of things; snap and-ketch-’em, you know, and the like. The party met at Exie Smith’s home, from whence they repaired to the scene of the festivities. An ice cream festival was given Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Presbyterian folks at the Presbyterian church. The attendance was rather small. The cornet band put in an appearance about fl o’clock, and discoursed several pieces of good music in the open air. The church was decorated on the outside with Chinese lanterns which cast a soft, mellow light over the lawn. The social ended at a comparatively early hour. NOTICE. All persona knowing themselves indebted to us are re pectfully requested to call and settle immediately, as we are in need of money. S. F. Rosa & Co.

He studied art while attending the Valparaiso Normal about two years ago. and his professor advised him at the time to adopt art as a life-calling. His portrait work is pronounced by good judges to be quite ingenius. Walker is thinking seriously of taking up portrait painting as a profession. Lawrence Hardy came into the office the other day, and we immediately punched him for news, whereupon the following facts were ascertained: John Grove, formerly a resident of Liberty township, about lour miles north of here, and now a resident of Sumner county, Kansas, just returned home after a visit with relatives and friem.s in these parts. Mr. Grove went there about two years ago, purchased 800 acres of laud, which has in that short space of time doubled m vain?. A Surprise in Honor of Mis* Maud Kienles. Last Wednesday evening quite l. large number of the young people surprised Miss Maud Nicoles al the residence of her parents in this place. Miss Maud was sixteen on that dale, and her young friends thought to pay her the customary honors due a “sweet-sixteen” biithday. The games, which were al! of a lively kind, were played on the lawn, which had been brightly illuminated for the event. The night being warm and sultry, the open air was a luxury. At about 10 o’clock the guests repaired to the house where they were served with refreshments, after which the games were resumed on the lawn. Maud was presented by her friends with a handsome brooch pin. The party dispersed at about I'2 o'clock. For $3.50, mens’ heavy weight suits, at Tom Wolfe’s.

The Pretty Lake Nurseries, of Plymouth; Ind. One of the flourishing institutions of Marshall county is the Pretty Lake Nurseries, situated , two and a half miles west of Plymouth. William Holland, the proprietor, established this famous nursery about twelve years ago with but S4O in money. He possessed, however, an abundance of energy, and had air abiding faith in the judicious use of printer’s ink. Mr. Holland says that in his early business career when he received $3, be used 32 to increase bis stock aud 1$ to advertise it. Judicious advertising is one great secret of his success. To-day Mr. Hui laud’s stock, together with real estate and improvements, will invoice at the lowest figures about $40,000. His business office in Plymouth is pronounced to be one of the finest in the state. Ou his grounds there are 140,000! apple trees, 30,000 cherry, 15,000; pear, 3,000 plum. 3,000 peach, two and a half million evergreens, and grapes, currants, gooseberiies, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, quinces, ami other small fruits sufficient to m ke about five! million plants, trees and vines in i all. Mr. Holland’s busmess now extends over every state in the Union, ' and lo Canada. Honest dealing has characterterized Mr. Holland’s course from the beginning, and when you cider a certain kind of tree, vine or the like, you may depend upon it that you will get. exactly what you order. This is another secret of his success. The old saw, “honesty is the best policy,” finds a striking exemplification in Mr. Holland’s case. I hose interested in hi< line would do well lo pay bis nursery a visit. H. A. Woodworth has a large it sky light in his ch ’hieg store sc you can see what you are g tting. i hat surely is a big advantage over a dark gloomy room.
