We mean business! Our entire | stock must be closed out .within the . pext 60 days. Philadelphia Store. - We have heard of no wrecks during " the last three hours on the Man & . Beast Exterminator, within a mile of Walkerton. Yon ean find 10 different styles of : cane seat chairs at Vineent’s store, be- ;‘ sides a large assortment of rockers to ~match same. , It’s a shame the way that people talk about the B. & O. Railroad not having . any timecard, and about its having so many wrecks, and all that. ; E. R. Wills, county treasurer, will be in Walkerton at Behrens’ store March 13 and 14, to accommodate those who may want to pay their taxes, then. ‘ Qur old friend, Christian Schmeltz, has concluded to live a retired life, and moved to town this week. The Independent welcomes him to our midst. The Williams -Henderson Co. are making.special low prices on their large stock of fine new buggies. You will got a good bargain by dealing with them. The members of the United Brethren church elected William Barden sexton -of the church for the coming year, at their meeting held on TLurslay even. ing. The M. & B. E. is holding out to the last minute. It still worries a few frains over the road, but nobody knows anything about their time. They have no time card. . During the next 45 days we will offer for sale the farm known as the Mary A. Stull farm, near Teegarden. Forty acres of good land; a special bargain will be given the purchaser, The Williams-Henderson Co. It wiil be to your interest to read the supplement advertisement of the Philadelphia Storc¢, which appears with this ijssue of the INDEPENDENT. Jake has a large and a fine stock of dry goods and notions which he is selling at * actual cost, in order to close out his business. "That's right. If you move to town - inform the INDEPENDENT of it. If you ‘move away inform us of it, unless you -owe us, in which case we, of course, do - mot expect you to give it away. Yes, ~ that's right. Give us all the newsitems You can, consistently. Our old friend, the venerable Dr. Richmond. of this place, has rheumatism in ohe knee, only. May the Doctor make a rapid and complete recovery, is our prayer. We do not wish by this announcement to mislead the Doctor’s patrons, by any means. He is able to __ be out and about and attend to his practice, just the same. ~ The“spelling” at the Williams schoolbouse, deferred from the 29th until Monday evening last, was a grand success. The house was crowded, and Teacher Troyer tenders his thanks to the kind friends for their patronage, apd respectful silence and attention. Don, the 9-year-old son of G. E. Williams, was champion of the “match.” A Chicago divine who preached in . this place last Sunday, wished to re- l turn home on a Monday morning train, " and in order that no mistake would. oc‘¢ur, the family with whom the Chicago preacher remained over Sunday night, flew around and looked up the INDEPENDENT. But no time card appeared. This was a dilemma. We hardly think that the reverend gentleman walked to Chicago, for the Lake Erie & Western time card stands out in bold yelief in this paper. "MORE B & 0. TROUBLE! Thursday evening an engine was derailed on the M. & B. E. at this place. Another engine was brought into re-} ‘guisition which pulled and strained and ‘tugged until its sidebars were bent, and failed utterly to get her back on the “trgek. How the engine was gotten back, or whether it was ever gotten back - *or not, our informant could not say. Happily, no lives were lost. As we have many times stated, its pains us(?) “to be compelled, as a chronicler. of *.avents, to forever be writing up wrecks " on'the M. &B. E.. It will be remembered that it has no time card.

New spring goods at M .iard’s. Miss Minnie Myers is reported quite TBk - Tinsel cord in various shades, at Millard’s. Buy a dress pattern of Bender before the stock is broken. Double cupboards all the way from l $6 to sl2, at Vincent’s. D. W. Place has No. 1 ear corn for sale for cash or on time. For fine Scrap, Photo, and Autograph Albums go to Joe Endly's. Osborne Akin is reported to be improving from his recent severe illness. ' Now who will be the first to buy some of that new furniture just received at Vincent's. You can buy a Jersey Jacket for just one-half the regular price, at the Philadelphia Store. Vincent has just received a fine lot of furniture of all grades which he will sell cheap for cash. : Handsome all wool scoteh, suits with fine trimmings, to order, for §2O and €22, at D. M. Petrie’s. . E. J. Vincent was in Chicago last veek purchasing goods. Look out for new goods and low prices. I will be responsible for any errors in cutting suits or parts of suits for home manufacture. D. B Petrie. We offer three ladies’ Newmarket cloaks, sizes 34 x 36, for $3 each. They cost 35 each. Philadelphia Store. Imperial Plows, the best in the world. A car-load of these plows has been received by the Williams-Henderson Co. The Man & Beast Exterminator is still running some trains, but whether on the old schedule or not, we have no means of knowing. They have no time card. See time card for the Lake }Erie & Western, in the INDEPENDENT. Mrs. Mary J. McKesson will sell off a large amount of personal property, 'mainly stock, at her farm, 3} miles sourheast of Walkerton, on Tuesday, March 13, the saie commencing at 10 o’clock in the forenoon. See bills. Adam Baugher will hold a public sale ‘of personal property, such as farming implements, stock, ete., at his residence, one and a half miles west of J. W. Baugher’s saw mill, on the LaPorte road, in Marshall county, on Thursday, March 22, at 10 o’clock a. m. For particulars see bills. John Wolfenbarger will close out his entire livery stock at public sale in this place, on Tuesday, March 20, at 10 o'clock a. m. He intends to abandon the livery business altogether in order to devote his attention to other interests. L. B. Hummell will ery the sale. Mrs. C. V. O'Brien was tendered a surprise by about 40 of her fiiends on Wednesday evening, that being her thirty-seventh birthday. Mrs. O’Brien was presented with a fine set of silver Knives and forks as a memento of the occasion. A pleasant time was the resulv of the gathering. The Alba Heywood Musical Comedy Co. gave two fine entertainments at Bender’s opera hall in this place on Friday and Saturday evenings of last weeK, to small but appreciative audiences. Alba Hevwood as an elocutionist and impersonator possesses great ability, and has few, if any, superiors in that line of effort. The company % made a good impression while here. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. MeCarty. of Streator, 111., brought their infant daughter to this place on Wednesdey night for burial. The child died on the 7th inst., the cause of death being inflammation of the liver. Its age was about six months. The funeral services were conducted at the residence of Edson Goit, Friday at 11 o’clock a. m., Rev. C. H. Bell preaching the sermon. The remains were buried in the cemetery at this place. Mr. and Mrs. McCarty have the sympathy of many friends here in this hour of their affliction. We notice in every daily paper more or less about all the important railroads in the United States, except the Man & Beast Exterminator. Can it be possible that that road has been eatirely forgotten! It would seem so. A lady came from the east the other evening ona long M. & B. E. train and declared that she was the only passenger on the train between Milford Junction and Walkerton. The conductor and all brakeman aboard gathered in her car and|stared in wonderment at her, one‘ of them remarking, “That is a brave lady, or else she hasn’t heard of the numerous wrecks on our road!” Tee Verpler UNaNmvous,—W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “T can recollect 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, 0., affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years’ experience, is Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, 8o that the verdict is unanimous | that Electric Bitters do cure all dis- | eases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. |Only a half dollar a bottle at Endley’s drug store,

New furniture being received constantly at Vincent’s. , Dr. Arlington’s office next door to Arlington’s old drug stand. Dr. M. A. Schutt, dentist, guarantees all his work. Office with Dr. Endley. The best roller process flour—the Bon Ton—for 2:15 per hundred, at lEndley’s drug store. Ladies’ winter shawls at less than manufacturers’ prices. Philadelphia Store. Endly’s Hokus Pokus Compound, a sure cure for face worms. Removes all black specks and pimples in two applications. | No trouble to buy furniture at Vincent’s, as goods well bought are half sold, and that is the way Ed buys his Clara, how is the baby? Oh, he is as chirp as a lark. That Hibbard’s Throat and Lung Balsam is a great remedy. Three doses relieved his suffering, and he was ready for play. New Spring Styles in ladies’, misses’, and children’s hats; we are prepared to give you the very best goods for the money, and we are going to sell cheap for cash. Mrs. Brown. Rheumatism 18 cured by Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup striking at the seat of the disease and restoring the kidneys and liver to healthy nction. If taken a suffie cient time to thoroughly eradicate such poison, it never fails. Farmers Take Notice. The old reliable herdsman, Frederick Cable, desires to announce through the INDEPENDENT that he will herd and pasture cattle on his premises at $1.50 per head, and stand good for all losses. STOP! If you want to buy flour go to Jake Taylor’s, where you can get a good second grade for $1.25 per hundred. He also sells the finest roller process in town for $2.20. All other goods sold proportionately cheap. Fine cigarsand tobaccos a specialty. WEARING DIAMONDSs. The physicians of a town toward the southern part of the state have recently adopted the same programme in reference to dead-beat practice that the physicians of Walkerton did some time ugo. They undoubtedly saw by the INDEPENDENT that great good resulted from the adoption of such a method. If they will tenaciously adhere to the programme, they will soon wear diamonds, like the Walkerton doctors. Those persons remote from this place who take the INDEPENDENT for the purpose of ascertaining the magnitude and business interests of Walkerton, and who form an opinion by its advertising colums, should not be deceived. A great many of our business reen do not advertise, and the town lis of vastly more importance than these columns indicate. But we cannot use our space and ink to benefit merchants who do not appreciate it. If there are gentlemen who wish to start a bank [in this place they should come right here and investigate for themselves. It's a grand opening. The followng gentlemen have been selected to serve as jurors of the March term of the St. Joseph circuit court, which convenes on Monday, March 12: Grand jurors: Wilber E. Gorsuch, Samuel Studebaker, John L. Bowman, Portage; Peter J. Kintz, Philip W. Andrews, Clay; Adam Beehler, Madison. Petit jurors:(JJohn N. Lederer, John Main, Portage; Sammuel MeLnight, Albert Post, Penn; Wm. Riddle, William Huston, Warren;John K. Dice, Center; A. J. Greenwood, Gilmore; Asa D. Christian, Harris; Henry M. Nickerson, Olive; Andrew Longley, Greene; John F. Albright, Liberty. A WoMmaN’s Discovery.—“ Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Dissase fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessently and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured, Her name is Mrs. Luthér Lutz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Get a free trial bottle at Endley’s drug store. The effect of using Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup is unlike all medicines containing opiates or poisons, it being entirely free from them: It cures by purifying the blood. Fence! Fence!
