Johnny— “ Vincent's Furniture Stere.” The city marshal made a wholesale raid on the gambling dens of South Bend, one day last week. The Plymouth Democrat presented to its readers last week a review of the business interests of that town. Mr. H. F. Linton of Buchanan, Michigan, an old practical printer, is assisting in The Independent office for a few days. Rev. B. H. Beall, of this place, is conducting a revival at Salem —one of his regular appointments < n the LaPorte circuit. A boy employed in Bose Bros.’ meat market had one of his lingers badly crushed in the cog-wheels of a saussage machine, on Thursday morning. John Smeltz, one of the well-to-do farmers of this locality, has purchased the Joe Baker property, and expects to move here in a few weeks. Twenty-five persons have united with the Brethren church by triune immersion, during their series of meetings at Center church, southeast of Teegarden. 'Squire Roderick, mention of whose long and serious illness has been made heretofore in the Independent, is said In be improving at this writing, Wednesday. Last Monday Henry Howblitzel hauled four ami a half ton of stone from near North Liberty to Walkerton, or. at sled drawn by two horses. Barney McCabe, jr., had the misfortune last Tuesday night to lose a valuable three-year old colt, the cause ol its death being lung fever. Arrangements have been completed for extending the Vandalia th rough from South Bend to Buchanan. Michigan; work on the grade has already commenced. Attorney S. J. Nicoles has purchased of Dau lk«ll a pitw of ground in the south part of town, adjoining the Hummer homestead, ami is having stone hauled preparatory to the erection of a dwelling. S. A. Ulfery informed the The Independent that a petition is being circulated among the residents of his locality praying that the comity line wagon ■ road, running east and west, be ext. ndcd to the road near the residence of John Cotton. Henry Vanscoik will hold a public sale at his resilience, two miles southeast of North Liberty. Thursday. Feb. 23, at 10 o'clock a. m. Among the property to be sold are milch cows, yonng cattle, shoats. wagons, farming implements, etc. N. B. Shoemaker expects, in a few weeks, to move his trunk-slat factory toSwazey, Iml., a place of 400 inhabitants, located 1G miles east of Kokomo. The people of Swazey have given him ground on which to place his building, and as the place i» surrounded by plenty of timber, Air. Shoemaker deemed it expedient to make the change. Walkerton is to have a bank in the spring. An Ohio gentleman eontemjdates starting one. He will probably erect a building for the purpose. Now add that to our new Three I road that’s coining w ithout fail in the spring, and the new sidewalks that the Board s going to order down, and the pickle crop of next season, and the moral tendency of our citizens, and you’ve got the town to induce increased population. This week the members of the I uited Brethren church of the Barber neighborhood, decided to give their pastor, Rev. C. H. Bell, substantial proof of their appreciation of his services. So, Wednesday Mr. James Strang hitched up his big sleigh and he and Mrs. Strang and Mrs. Colier went the rounds of the neighltorliood calling upon each family, who liberally donated Hour, meat, potatoes, etc., until the sleigh was loaded so that there was hardlx room for the three to ride. I hey then | drove to this plaee to the residence of their pastor, whose pleasure at being remembered in so substantial away , mu easily be imagined.

Men’s overcoats, $1.75, at Tom Wolfe’s. Sunday, Feb. 12, is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Born.—To the w ife of George Leslie, a boy, dating from Saturday, Feb. 4. Plymouth will have electric lights in a few days, according to the Democrat. You can buy furniture cheap at Vincent’s. He wants the room for spring stock. D. It. Locke (Nasby), editor of the Toledo Blade, is dangerously ill at this writing—Friday. The Williams-Henderson Co. have several head of horses and cattle for sale at very low figures. The Lowry-White contest has at last been decided by a vote of 187 to 105, in favor of Captain White. There have been five conversions and five accessions to the United Brethren church, during the revival meetings. See the famous Richmond Comedy Co. at Bender's opera hall, Friday and Saturday evenings, Feb. 10 and 11. I will be responsible for any errors in cutting suits or parts of suits for home manufacture. D. M. Petrie. It will be of interest to the many friends of Miss Lida Jones, formerly of this plaee, to learn that she was recently married to Andrew Jackson, of Ligonier. Any one in want of a mourning bonnet and veil and not wishing to purchase, will find them for rent at Mrs. J. W. Brown’s Millinery Establishment. There are very many colossal fortunes that would not now be in the possession of their present holders, were it not for judicious advertising.—Philadelphia Bulletin. The December term of court has just closed in Plymouth. A little respite of about four weeks is being taken, after which hostilities will begin again in that peaceful locality. N. B. Shoemaker having decided to move his trunk-slat factory to Swazev. Ind., desires to sell hit property in this place. He therefore offers fm sale his factory building and lots, town residence and farm adjoining the town site. Will sell on very roasonable terms. Geo. Craft, our popular d uggiat, has taken an apprentice into his establi-h---ment. The new comer, for a tew years will occupy his attention prim ipally in the lachrymal, lacteal ami saccharine laboratories, where the careful training which he will receive will teach him better than to follow the vulgar custom ■»f Young America in later years by calling George the “ole man.” The voung gentleman's arrival dates from Feb. 2, 1888.—Mentone Gazette. The Richmond Comedy company, playing at Bender's opera hall this week, is ono of the best that ever struck the town. Mr. Richmond himself is a whole circus, with a side-show thrown in. He is supported by excellent talent, he polishing the whole business off in great shape. The past four nights they have played to rather small audiences, which, we are told, is not calculated to inspire actors and cause them to.enter fully into tin 1 spirit of the work. Nevertheless, these people have given excellent entertainments, and m-rit better patronage. Sick List. The following named persons go to make up the sick roll of the past ten days, in and about. Walkerton: Stephen Ellery's two children, quite sick: Mrs. Philbrick: Mrs. John Schmeltz; Mrs. Silas Baker: Mrs. James Jackson: 2Jrs. Frank Collins’ little girl: John Jolly's child, quite sick; Samuel Smith's child; James Taylor; Rev. C. H. Bell; Mrs. Ben Pratt, very sick; Mrs. Northam and little girl; Miss Ina Schwartz; Delbert Woodard, of The Independent office, quite sick; two children of B. H. Beall; Mr. and Airs. George Leslie’s son, Maurice: little Clare Schutt; Clyde liensberger and Harvey Gregory. Some of the above named have been and are quite sick. A great many not herein named have been ailing during the time mentioned, but don't count. A gentleman of this city informs The Democrat that an interview with Mr. Drake, president of the Indiana, Illinois and lowa railroad, developed the fact that that corporation is surveying a route from the present eastern terminus of the road, to pass through Grovertown, Walkerton and North Liberty to South Bend, and that the line will be substantially so constructed. Plymouth ought to have a chance at that road, considering all past circumstances and the fact that the enterprise would be greatly benefited by touching at this point. The management would do well to consider what Plymouth is and her near possibilities before acting rashly. A little wise reflection xvill certainly result in mutual advantage.—Plymouth Democrat. Do you want the earth? Os what wonderful importance is Plymouth that it should be such an inducement to railroad companies to coil their lines up to make that place? Would Plymouth be of so much more benefit to that road than Walkerton and North Liberty that the company would be justified in going miles and miles out of its way to touch there? An airline is what the boys want and live towns dotted here ' and there. The Walkerton-Liberty route offers just such inducements, j Keep your under garment on, Daniel.

Os some swindlers who are going through the country, an exchange says that they ask to see sewing machines. If the machine is a Singer they take out the shuttle amt put in their pocket, and refuse to give it up unless thenprice is paid for it. They claim |that it is an infringement on their patent. Os course they are swindlers. If they ask to see your Singer, make their head:sing. Two ! ;ums for Sale. The first, consisting of 80 acres, with all new buildings, and good water, is located 41 miles east of Walkerton and 2 miles north of Tyner. The other farm, consisting of 120 acres, has all new buildings, good water, and is located 3 miles east of LaPaz, 7 miles west >f Bremen and 10 miles north of PH - mouth. Either farm will be sold on very reasonable terms-one-third cash and long time on the balance. For further particulars see John Peters, residing 41 miles east of Walkertom LUG SB SCHOOL HOT ES. Sleighing was so good last week that some ot our pupils indulged in it at the expense of their studies. We think, as did one of the contestants, that the sides were unequally yoked together Wednesday evening, the tallies standing 8 to 2.

He tiied many so-called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sic p. Finally tried Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption ane found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so grand a record of cures, as Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Guaranteed to do just what is claimed for it. Trial bottle free at Endley’s drug store. There is a set of young half-breed “injuns” in Walkerton, who steal, sponge, and otherwise xvork their way into the. hall at entertainments here, who should have their backs broken twice a week. They manifestly haven’t sense enough to appreciate the entertainments nor to conduct themselves better than the lowest slum hoodlum:-. It is an easy matter to separate them from the boys who have sense, and the proprietor should bar them from entering the hall until they learn enough to behave themselves. We have heard a number of persons say that they will cease attending entertainments here if these blood-raw hoodlums are not made to conduct themselves wi+h decency or barred admission.

In the last issue we treated mainly or altogether of attracting or gaining the attention of the pupils, but now, comes the question, How ■shall we,keep the children's or pupils' mimls fixed upon a certain point? As stated before, interest ami attention must be cultivated in childhood, and we shall deal now with child-cul-ture. Ist. Never harp on a subject until it becomes worn out and loathesome to the child. If the child does not fully comprehend all in a lesson, is he in the rear of his teacher generally? Who is it that never misses to assimilate all of a given subject ? Noone; then, when we see that the child's attention is wandering we must quit at once, turning quickly to a new phase of the subject or, quite as well, to a new subject. Do not allow interest to Hag in one thing until a new point fully as interesting as the first is presented. By this, the pupils wil 1 expect a new phase embracing eipial interest, (lint they should not be made to rely wholly on this, or it would lie injurious to the preparation of lessons), and would endeavor to master their task in order to reach this miscellany, or whatever it might be called. 2nd. Never exhaust the present subject; always have some ideas remain hidden, and tell them so, i. e., hint as much as to say the best share is yet to come, and if they study well you will favor them with a story about it, and then have them promise to try to remember what you tell them; they will consequently imagine all sorts of themes for your story (and some will generally not lie far amiss), and their faces will brighten with a glow of attention when you state your intention to relate the promised story. Bear in mind this is to be advocated in all the child-branch-es and you will find it to work like a charm. Then from the first grades up- . ward they can be used with much good ■ ! results; even in history you can make a topic attractive by relating a stirringincident touching it. Grammar is the ; most difficult to treat in this way unless . you are well versed in the history of language. This mode may, and most . always will keep up a continual and increasing interest, and continual interest i means constant attention. Fatti R ati ch,
