JAN. 8, 1887. Town mad Ooiinty. Walkerton wants a bank. Ga." etl hi lighted with electric lights. Henry Hostetter has sold his meat mar ket to Noah Thompson. Born, to the wife of L. B. Hummel, a daughter, Wednesday morning, Dec. 29th. Weight, 9 pounds. A child of Rev. Snyder is very sick with inflammation of the bowels, at this writing Thursday. D, W. Place sold, last week, to Jap Devoe a five acre lot adjoining the town plat Consideration, $625. The sleighing in this section, so say some of our old settlers, has not been so good for many years as it is now. The Walkerton Pleasure Club presented their caller, K. C. Kneisley, with an elegant pair of vases, on New Year's. John W. Brown, son of H. 11. Brown, i« very low with lung (ever, and has been for two weeks, but is a little better at this writing—Thursday. An account of the terrible railroad acci dent on the B. & 0., near Republic, 0., is given on the fourth page of this paper. Jacob Kettring made over 30 of bis patrons holiday presents of fine roasts. We would give the names of the lucky recipients, but space forbids. The South Bend Tribune steps forth in a brand new dress, retaining its oldfamiliar style, however. The fribune is • prosperous journal. The Mentone Gazette came out on pink paper Christmas. The Gazette is rapidly forging to the front under the regime of its present editor and manager. There is a report to the effect that at Round Luke, Starke county, an entire school of 28 children while sliding on the ice broke through and were drowned. The editor hereof acknowledges with thanks the receipt of a handsome New Year’s gift in the shape of a fine gold pen and holder, presented by Dr. Arlington. “The Mitchell Washing Machine ha* been tested to my satisfaction. It work* so easily and does the work so well. It should find a home with every family.” A. Cunningham. The last issue of the Walkerton IxdzPEXntST was pink. Will, are you trying to paint the town red?—South Bend Trib une. Certainly. Can’t we have a little fun as well as the rest of the boys? Ollie Jarrett, a young lady residing in Hudson township near New Carlisle, sui ci-led recently by taking morphine and • poisonous lotion. Trouble with a younj; man is supposed to be at the bottom oi the affair. Says the Western Rural: It Is said that a man who won’t take a paper be cause he can borrow one has invented a machine with which he can cook his din ner by the smoke from his neighbor a chimney. The New Carlisle Gazette is informed that a creamery employing about 12 men will be built at tiiat place next March. Such an enterprise in Walkerton would be of great benefit to our farming community. Let's have one, too. A new counterfeit silver dollar is out, and is so perfect in weight and ring as to deceive expert*. Its only defect is the letter “d” in the motto, ‘‘ln God We Trust,” which is so slanted as to appear almost like an italic letter. The false coin is an Illinois production. The Walkerton Independent came out Dec. 25, with an ilustrated holiday sup plement, on splendid paper, and itself, not the supplement, tinted almost too gor geously. But the whole was a mest commendable work of enterprise for a half year old which the people of Walkerton ought to appreciate. —LaPorte Public Spirit. DO N’T EXPERIM ENT. You cannot afford to waste time in experimenting when your lungs are in dan ger. Consumption always seems al first, only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to impose upon you with some cheap imitation os Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, but be sure you get the genuine. Because he can make more profit be^nay tell you he has something just as good, or just the same. Don’t be deceived, but insist upon getting Dr. King’s-New Discovery, which is guaranteed to give relief in all throat, lung and chest affections. Trial buttles free at Ar lington's drugstore. Literary lUeetlM^. The Try Hard Literary Society of Barber school-house met at its regular session o» Tuesday evening, Jun 4, with VicePresident H. Shrull in the chair.

S. of A. should be prohibited,” the sides standing, Affirmative—T. Turner, A Rhrber, G. Burton. Negative—M. Schroder, SSheakes. N- Hartsough. The question was one of interest, jnd the speakers were fnlly aroused and seemed at times to be very enthusiastic. The decision of judges was two to one in favor o the affirmative. N. Habtsoigh. Sec.

I would not taioTTwice iilj E. McDaniel. A ? friend on wawh-day—the Mitchell Washer. There are several cases? of mumps in town. J.fH. Garrett ’has plug and^Ane cut chewing tobacco. The snow in the woods hereabouts is said to be two feet deep. Jake Taylor is figuring a little on moving back to Walkerton. j^Nine business buildings were consumed by fire at Argos last Monday night. Miss Ella Brubaker, a sister of Dan Brubaker, has been suffering from erysipelas of the face. The Walkerton schools were dismissed Monday afternoon on account of the coal giving out.

Studebaker and their sons, Clemen and J. M., jr., made their New Year'* calls. The carriage was drawn by foui horses, with Dan Lee a* footman.

The Walkerton fire department responded quickly to the alarm and “by prompt ac lion soon had the fire fiend under com plete control.” Fortunately the roof was heavily covered with snow, which served to hold the fire in check. In the case of Geo. Harris, who was ar rested in the killing of Abraham Leslie at Maxinkuckee, a change of venue has been taken'from Marshall to Logansport, Cass county. The parents of Harris reside in Logansport, and it is said that they are well pleased with the prospects of their son having his trial in the latter place, believing that the feeling against him is not so strong in Logansport as in Plymouth. It is believed that Conductor Taylor would have fared better had his trial been held outside of Marshall county. SAVED HIS LIFE. ! Mr.®. I. Wilcoxen, of Horse Cave *Ky.' says he was, for many years, badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains were almost unendurable and would some times almost throw him into convulsions.
