Leonard, we are informed, will preach at the Presbyterian church in this place at an early date. A few eases of scarlet fever have Wen reported in Walkerton during the past couple of weeks.

A bald eaglo measuring six feet from tip to tip of its wings was shot on the Kankakee marsh hrst week by Clinton Cochrane of South Bend.

Matteson and Miss Drusilla Helminger, both of this place, were united in marriage at the residence of Philip Wolfenbarger, Sunday, Oct. 16, the ceremony being performed by 'Squire U. F. Townsend.

It will be observed that the Independent is not in the habit of flinging dornieks at every unfortunate individual. We do not believe that good will result from swatting every one who perchance falls by the wayside. It s the good in you that we hanker to herald. Frank Tischer has purchased the wagon shop of Mr. Grosshans and will carrv cn the business at the old stand. Frank is a good mechanic in his lint* and merits the patronage of the public. All manner of repairing will be satisfactorily and promptly done. A new ruling of the postoflice department provides that postal cards that are.,uncal led. for will he returned to the writer at the end of thirty days; also that advertised letters will be held but two weeks, instead of four, before being sent to the deal letter office at Washington. Sh In the death of the venerable Benjamin F. Price South Bend has suffered the loss of one of its earliest settlers and most prominent business men. For a great many years he has been the leading undertaker and furniture dealer in South Bend. His age was 80 years and 16 days. S. F. Ross & Co. and the WilliamsHenderson Co., our enterprising hardware merchants, are having a brisk trade in stoves, etc. They advertise in the Independent, which brings people from the surrounding country to Walkerton to buy their hardware instead of going to other towns. It is impossible for us to gad about town, lay in the alleys and sit on hitchracks all the time in order to catch every item and find out who has been and who is going up north to pay their mother-in-law a visit, for we have a little business of our own to attend to. We therefore invite you to notify us of all such proceedings either by appearing in person or sending a little note to the office. Don't be too modget. We'll not tell on you anyway.

Eggs retail at 10 cents a dosen, and butter at 1(1 cents a pound. As usual, Tom Wolfe has the best winter boots, and lowest prices. See “A Soldier of the Union" at Bender’s Hall Saturday evening. Miss Mary Ballenger, formerly of this place, was married recently to Mr. H. Lamering, of Hegewisch, 111. The first ball of the season will be held at Fulmer Hall, Thursday evening, Oct. 27. The public cordially invited. “Zack,” our correspondent at Grovertown, gives the particulars of the fire on the Kankakee marsh, elsewhere in this issue. The Misses Millard have secured the services of Miss Lida Al ward, who has spent some time in the different pattern rooms of Chicago. The annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Superintendents and Teachers’ Association will be held at Michigan City, Nov. 4th and sth. Thad P.

General admission 20 cents, reserved seats 25 cents.

Joseph Plew was sentenced to the penitentiary for life, last Tuesday, in the Warsaw circuit court, for the murder of Henry Dunham last February. If you haven't seen those elegant parlor and bed-room sets at Ed. Vincent’s yet you had better go and inspect them at your earliest convenience. They are beauties. Thad P. Varney and Jack Turner, of this place, had a re-union yesterday. They are both actors of tin* old school legitimate, and had not met before for 20 years. The Misses Millard have added to their millinery store a tine new showcase, convenient and of modern style, which was designed and manufactured by Ed. Vincent. Everybody in Walkerton knows very well that it snowed, the first of the season, here Friday like blixum; we only mention the fact for the good of our exchanges. A small pocket of gas was struck three miles from Michigan City by a man who was boring a deep well. A tlame shoots up five feet high, and comes from a depth less than two hundred feet. We notice that Jerry Fogarty is making some substantial improvements on his residence by adding a new veranda and putting a new foundation under it. Oh, Jerry is enterprising as well as the Independent.

The LaPorte Aagus says “the Lake Shore road has erected the new style of semiphores at the targets both east and west of this city. These inventions automatically prevent the possibility of a collision of trains where roads cross." The Biddlecome Comedy Company are playing at Bender’s Opera Hall, Thursday, Friday and Sattrday evenings, under the auspices of the Grand Army Post, of this place. The company's leading play is “A Soldier of the Union." The United Brethren quarterly meeting held at the Island church last Saturday was well attended and much interest manifested. Presiding Ehler Bartmess, of Buchanan, Mich., and Rev. C. H. Bell, of this place, led the services.

Biddlecome’s Comedy Company was greeted with a fair audience at Bender's Hall Thursday evening. They presented “A Soldier of the Union,” which was well received by the audience, the play is one of the most humorous now before the public. A little boy baby, but a few hours old, was found in a basket at the doors of St. Mary’s academy last Saturday morning. The waif was immediately taken in charge and baptized and christened John Janies. He will be sent to a foundling’s home.—Mishawaka Enterprise. Burglars entered the establishment of Collar & Pearse at North Liberty, Wednesday night, and stole a quantity of underwear, clothing and shoes. 1 hey attempted to blow open the safe but for some reason their efforts were a failure. The safe, however, contained nothing of value and had been left unlocked by the proprietors that evening. The following item from an exchange embodies a great deal of truth in a small amount of space: “Every one who reads a newspa’ ’ ecomes familiar with the business houses, whose names appear in it, and naturally they patronize them. Merchants who advertise make many friends through the columns of a newspaper, as their names become familiar as household words. ” The Mishawaka Enterprise says “some idea of the large amount of provender it requires to feed the students and attaches at Notre Dame universitv may be gathered from the fact that Fred Weber, of Mishawaka, who supplies Notre Dame and St. Mary s, furnishes a half ton of chickens for a single meal at Notre Dame, and it takes over 600 lbs. of butter per week for them- the two institutions requiring oyer 1,000 lbs, Other articles of food are, of course, demanded in Qic same proportion.”

Excellent movement, warranted for 20 years. Call at Craft's drug store. Janies Williams, of South Bend, was found dead in bed at the residence of his son-in-law, Frank Essex, last Sunday evening. Anybody who says that Ed. Vincent hasn't got the finest line of furniture ever before seen in Walkerton, we don't care who he is. The OYSTER .season is here, and Jake Taylor, the popular restaurant man, is well supplied with the best brands in the market. While in town don't forget to call at the Farmers' Store for bargains in clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, dry goods and groceries, drugs and medicines. The Greens of South Bend played their closing game of ball on the home grounds with the Pullman club last Sunday, defeating the visitors by a score of 10 to 4. Arthur SeyboLl, of Mishawaka, while hunting in the woods w ith a party of friends, last Sunday morning, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun. He was 36 years old and leaves a wife and two children. Mrs. Dr. Smith and Miss Ida Beach spent two days last week in Chicago purchasing their winter stock of millinery goods, consisting of hats, bonnets, fancy ribbons, feathers and wings, all of the latest style.
