Somebody tore down bills posted for a democratic meeting in Mishawaka. 1 hat fellow evidently wants to down the party. Governor Gray spoke in the rink at South Bend last Wednesday evening to a large audience, consisting mainly ot me chanics. There is no question about the words of the text any longer, which are, “There’s good timber there.” It's the universal testimony. Come out Tuesday and vote, and vote as you please, and be dogoned. Some body said we couldn't make a non parti »san paper. A son was born to the wife of Kirt Wolfenbarger, Wednesday, whose weight is said to be about 12 pounds.

The B. & O. people are putting down a mile or so of new railroad here to accommodate the local freights, which remain here over night. This is the end of a division, you see. Dr. Huntsinger, of Mishawaka, Prohi bition candidate for Representative ot St. Joseph county, delivered an address on the prohibition question in Fulmers hall last Wednesday evening. The Mishawaka Enterprise in its last issue tells of a sad accident in which John Kroh, of that place, was killed on the Lake Shore road Tuesday He was out alone with a hand car, and a train came along and he was unable to remove it in time. We now have in our new stock of stoves, consisting of heating and cooking stoves, both wood and coal. We have a large variety of modern styles, and at the verylowest prices. Call and examine our stock. We will take pleasure in showing you through. S. E. Ross A Co. The article under the caption, “Give us a Rest,” which appears in this issue of the Independent, was written by Chas. C. Richmond, formerly of this place, but now of Kansas City, Mo. Charlie is a young man of more than average ability, and writes with a fluency and depth that would do honor to older heads. THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS.

W. I). Sult, druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years experience, is Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that ^Electric Bitteis do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Arlington’s drug store. The members of the Walkerton Pleasure Club held their first ball of the season 3* Bender’s Opera Hall on last Wednesday evening. There was a fair attendance, good music, and a very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. The Club proposes to give a series of dances in this place this winter, which will be of a strictly private character, and the management will see that all objectionable persons are excluded from taking part in these entertainment.!. The Club has drawn up rules and regulations, which must be strictly adhered to, and any member violating these rules will be expelled from the Club. Messrs. Guise, Poole and Covert have been engaged to furnish the music for the season.

THE SIIIVEEY RALLY. A HOOPER FOR WALKERTON. Last Tuesday was a raw, cold day. but notwithstanding, there was an immense turnout at the Shively speech. A large delegation, consisting of about 22 teams besides the band wagon, from North Lib-

erty, put m an appearance about 1 o’clock, shortly after which came the Stillwell and Island delegation, consisting of about 20 teams besides the band-wagon, the two forming a procession more than a quarter of a mile long. Three bands were present, the LaPaz, Seybold and Stillwell, each discoursing excellent music for the occasion. Seats had been arranged for the speaking to take place from the Florence House veranda, but owing to the chilliness of the weather it was decided to change to Fulmer’s Hall, which was packed even to standing room. Mr. Shively spoke in a clear, distinct voice of the present political differences, his remarks meeting with enthusiastic applause on several cccasions. No drunkenness or disturbances worthy of mention were noticed by the Independent, and don’t you forget it, our spectacles were adjusted for the occasion. Gravel the road to Grover. The campaign lie is on duty. Young Charley Weller, Geo. Cook informs us, is sick w'th bilious fever. A sou was born to the wife of Frank Stull, Oct 24. Weight about 9 pounds. Joe Stephenson claims to have been nipped for about tea dollars last Satur day night. John Thompson lately sold out his business at Walkerton. He informs us that he expects to become a citizen of Bremen.—Bremen Enquirer. Three Months Free. The publishers of that excellent month ly, “The Housekeeper, Minneapolis, Minn., otter to send it free for thiee months to any lady who sends them the postoffice address of twenty ladies who are keeping house. The address may be atone or several postottlces, but must be sent before November 15th, 1886. “The Housekeeper” is one of the best publications in the country. EXCITEMENT IN TEXAS.

Great excitement has been caused in j the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bod, or raise Ins head; everybody said he was dying of consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a large bottle atfd a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills: by the time he had taken two boxes of pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained in flesh thirtysix pounds. Trial bottles of this Great Discovery for Consumption free at Ailing ton's drug store. Editor Independent:--'‘Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise," is an old saying, but it applies directly to those who have repeatedlly accused me of talking politics to my pupils. There is, however, no excuse for ignorance in this case, for any interested person may find, by referring to the Eclectic geography, that government is discussed, and any one who teaches geography must teach politics. Thus fur I have taught politics, and no farther. Your correspondent is misinformed, or off his base. Post up! Post up! Island School Teacher.

W. A. Endley, Pres., 0- F. Townsend, V. Pres. D. M. Petrie, Sec. & Treas. THE PAST WEEK’S WEATHER RECORD. Sunday morning the sun rose quite early, bright and shining, and continued so until toward evening, when the day was attacked with a slight chill, and clouds lowered thickly between the heavens and the earth. Monday morning dawned eold and cloudy, and continued cloudy all day, growing colder by the hour until evening, when watermelons were in poor demand. Tuesday morning—watermelons still dull, a cloudy sky and cold, raw winds prevailing throughout the entire day. Wednesday morning—melons packed and stored away for next season’s demand, cold raw air still having the bulge. Thursday, n. g.—cold, rainy, frizzling and flickerty all day. We finish up the week’s record this morning (Friday) including Saturday. The sun rose behind a heavy bank of clouds, but it is several degrees, Fab., warmer and will continue so until 3 o’clock and some minutes, after which w T e are not fully decided, but believe from that until bed-time there will be a spell of weather. Saturday morning will open up bright and sunny, and all animated nature will put on a cheerful garb, and Walkerton will be crowded with people about all day—all going to Sunday school on Che morrow.
