Jesse McDaniel is lamping the paint on the lower rooms in the new brick, Our base ball club have written to Nappanee for a date to play at that place soon. The nights lately have been too cool for the rapid growth of pickets, say the pickle people. Our North Liberty correspondent states that Rev. Cherry, of that place, is seriously ill. John Boggs, residing near Warsaw, had a field of oats that averaged 88 bushels per acre. Dr. Dowell, the dentist. Rooms in the Stensberger block, upMtalrN. Mrs. Al.

The surviving members of the 29th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry will hold their annual reunion at Camp Jackson, LaPorte, August 26 and 27th. The Williams-Henderson Co. beat the world on buggies. They have a huge lot of fine vehicles made in Michigan, which they are selling at remarkably low figures considering the quality of goods. “The boy be stood with stick in hand, Ami tickled that docile mule, Which seemed so gentle and so bland, A willing, play ful tool.' “Nearer he approached its hinder end, Now shed thy pitying tears, For he’s gone to be an angel, And his age was seven years.” Everybody knowing themselves indebted to me will please call and settle their accounts within the next sixty days. Unless these accounts are paid within that time they will be placed in the hands of a collector. E. S, Dowell. Died Nicholas Bensberger, at his residence about one mile south of M alkerton, Saturday, August 13. He was 65 years and seven days old. He had suffered from ill health for a long period. He had been a member of the Brethren church for many years. The funeral took place from the above church, Monday last, at 10 o’clock. He leaves a wife and four grown up children. The Independent extends its sympathy to the bereaved relatives. An exchange says a country merchant who places a $lO advertisement in his local paper, and flatters himself that he is a liberal advertiser, will be surprised to learn that a yearly “ad” one column in length, in the New York Herald costs the advertiser $39,000. This is the lowest price, and for display on the first page the price is $48,000. Tne New York Tribune for its lowest, charges $28,754, and the Chicago Tribune $26,000, and those papers are never at a loss for advertising to fill their columns. The fact is, merchants find that earfttl. liberal advertising pays.

Jake Taylor keeps the best flour in the market. Lost. r The Walkerton man who is not asub- . scriber of the Independent. Sile George, justice of the peace, moved his oilice, last Wednesday, into : the new brick block, upstairs. Dan Barber has graveled three miles of wagon road in district No. 2, Polk township. He accomplished all this work within two years. I- - - It is rumored that a grocery store wil] bo started in the room now occupied by Tom Wolfe’s clothing store, after the latter moves into the new’ brick. The late rains have boomed the pickle crop. Mr. Dunham, manager of the pickle salting factory, reports last Monday’s receipts as the largest thus far this season. The large number of orders coming in for fall suits is a guarantee of the work done at the New Tailor House. Orders for overcoats and pea-jackets are in now for this fall. An agricultural paper says: “Do not allow your cattle to eat much green corn thickly infested by 'chinch bugs. A few years ago much injury to stocK was reported from this cause” The Mansfield, Ohio, club defeated the South Bend Greens by a score of 5 to 1, in last Sunday’s game. The Mansfielders belong to the Ohio league, and are said to be pretty stiff players. The sale of the South Bend Register office, which was to have taKen place Aug. 5, bus been indefinitely postponed. The publication of the paper will be continued for the present. MOSEY TO LOAN. Several thousand dollars to loan.

He wrote to his sister here saying that he escaped uninjured, and that the coach he was in was smashed to flinders. Arthur James Gambrill, father of Mrs. S. C. Fulmer, formerly of this place, died nt the residence of his son-in-law, S. C. Fulmer, of South Bem Sunday Aug. 14. His wife died in 1876.

A citizen of Nappanee while in conversation with a Walkertonite, recently, spoke in quite complimentary terms of the Walkerton base ball nine. He pronounced our nine as the strongest team, excepting the St. Louis Little Nicols, that had ever appeared on the N appanee grounds. By bills printed at this office it will be seen that Peter Bodine will bold a public sale at his residence, 2] miles south-west of Teegarden. Monday, August 22, ’B7, at 10 o’clock a. m.

The 29th Regiment Indiana Volunteers will hold its second annual reunion at old Camp Jackson, LaPorte, Ind., Aug. 26 and 27. Henry A. Adie, vicepresident, will furnish information as to transportation. P. P. DuComb, I Pres. H. E. Jackson, i Sec. A substantial subscriber of the Independent told us the other day that one of those Come Outs who took umbrage at some of ae truths in the Independent and discontinued the paper, had been borrowing it from him ever since. M e would rather our subscribers would not let such fellows have the paper at all, for we don’t want them to read a word in it, not even see a copy of it. A representative of the Independent overheard a couple subscribers in conversation about this sheet, w’hen one of them remarked to the other that, if Endley didn’t stop putting the name of a certain person in the paper he would i stop it. Great heaven! This same i kicker will meet the individual on our ' streets and with a smile and “how’ are you to-day” extend the right hand of fellowship. What consistency! Do you want us to ignore this person just because you and he have a difference ? Don’t beat about the bush and talk behind our back, but drop upstairs at the sign of the stars and stripes, pay up and tell us to erase your name. We usually get two new, cash subscribers for every one we lose on such frivolous ■ pretense. You can t bulldoze tha In- , dependent, gentlemen, and if we hear . of another such an instance we shall > save you the trouble of stopping the ■ paper, i “ ~ , Picnic. » The Catholic people of Walkerton , and vicinity will give a picnic, at their -old place, the B. & O. grove in Walk- - erton, Saturday, August 27th. There t will be good order, and a fine time. A 1 cordial invitation is extended to all. Bv order of Committee. ■

For Sale.—A No. 1 grade (|) Durham bull. D. W. Place. A Grant county farmer who has kept record says that this year w’as the first time for 50 years when it did not rain on Aug 3. It missed it only one day this year’. The Stephens Store Co. have several car loads of hard and soft coal which they are selling at wholesale and retail. This coal is none of your cheap stuff, but is of the finest quality. The latest epienrian fancy is to plug a w atermelon and allow the juice to run off, then pour into the hole a pint of good champagne wine, then replace the plug and let the melon lay on ice several hours. Dog days in Walkerton. I’ll bet a dollar against a dog that there are more dogs than dollars in Walkerton.—Walkerton Stunner. We’ll bet the editor of the Stunner a dog against that dollar that he gets licked before he runs his paper a month. Parties having goods to make this fall can have them cut any style desired at the following prices: Coats $1.06 Pants 25 Vests 25 D. M. Petrie. Rooms in Rensberger’s Block. The South Bend Times says the Michigan Central has just, put on its railroad for their limited traffic, large three boiler locomotives manned by three firemen and a single engineer. They are perfect monsters and can easily run 60 milesan hour and carry fourteen loaded coaches. What next. Chas Tews, a well-known citizen of LaPorte, died the other day. The cause of his death originated from a simple corn on one of his toes. Some time ago he trimed the corn until it bled, causing a wound which gave him a great deal of trouble and which resulted in gangrene, and blood poisoning, and finally death. A new paper has been started in this place named the Walkerton Stunner. It’s editor, Joe Endley, no doubt presumes to knock the Independent out. But when Joe meets the sad fate of the editor of |the Walkerton Advertiser, started here last w inter by Tom Wolfe, he will then be a w iser as w ell as busted up newspaper man. As a rule the very rich men are not those who build up a community and create booms. A single business man, full of life and snap and enterprise, who is not afraid to talk sense and knows how to advertise is worth any dozen very rich men who usually only take advantage of other people’s booming to increase their values.—lnter Ocean. Bills printed at this office announce a public sale,Saturday, Aug 20th, 1887, at 10 o'clock a. m., to be held by Turpy Hullinger at his residence, 2} miles southeast of North Liberty. Among the things to be sold are, two work horses, 1 Studebaker wagon nearly new, farming implements, etc., etc. Easy terms will be allowed to the purchasers. The bright particular star that can be seen row every evening in the west’ ern sky is the planet Venus. It will become brighter and brighter until the 15th of August, when it will obtain its greatest brilliancy. On the 21 of|September it will be in the inferior conjunction with the sun, when it will change to a morning star and take its glory to charm the early risers with its transcendant beauty. We learn that the pickle firm of Heinz Bros. & Co., established about one year ago, and now salting pickels at Bremen, Ind., is being confounded with the well known firm of F. & J. Heinz, who have been salting pickles at Walkerton for a number of years with headquarters at Pittsburg, Pa., and New York City. The new firm located at Bremen have no business or family connection w hatever with the old established firm of F. & J. Heinz, at LaPorte and Walkerton. Here is a problem for railroad men to solve: A freight train one mile in length stopped at a station with the caboose just opposite the depot. The conductor got orders to move his train to the next station, which was just five miles distant. He gave the engineer the signal to move, which he did, while the^conductor walked over the train to the engine and got there just as the locomotive reached the station, where he got off. The question is how did he walk, or how far did he ride, or did he ride at all ? Second Annual Excursion to Pittsburg, via B. & O. R. R. Owing to the delightful time afforded the excursionists w ho went to Pittsburgh via B. & O. R. R., on the occasion of that Company’s first annual excursion, and the great demand from the public for another opportunity to visit the “Iron City,” the B. & O. R. R. Co. will run the second annual excursion on Saturday August the 20th, 1887, tickets good returning until August 25th, inclusive. Remember there will be no change of cars to Pittsburgh, and that the train passes through Zanesville, Wheeling, and Washington, Pa., in full view of the famous oil and gas fields of Washington County. Sleepers on all through trains. For time of trains, see bills and posters. For tickets and berths, call on or address agents B. & O. R. R. Co.
