But just because Walkerton is about to have a bank, don’t go crazy and borrow money for wild schemes. Geo. >l. Urey and Frank Ik Houser । have had circulars printed at this office 4 announcing their normal school which । opens at North Liberty, Monday, April , 16Mrs. M. A. Rea has opened a dress- t making shop in the rooms formerly oe- < cupied by Mrs. Blocksom, where. she 1 will be pleased to see any who wish sewing done. Noah Shoemaker, we understand, has abandoned the idea of moving his slat , factory from this place, for the present, f at least, and expects to remain here un- ] til next fall. ! ] Link Rnpel seems to be getting 1 along as well as could be expected, eon- 1 sidering the serious nature of his 1 ‘wounds. On Thursday lie was abb' 1 ,to sit up at the table and eat his dinner. 1 t Rev. Leonard, of Chicago, com- » nnenced a series of meetings at the I’res- < byterian church in this place last evening (Friday.) The meetings will be ( continued for several evenings. Every- 1 body cordially invited. Adam Baugher has traded his farm i in Marsliall county for A. Steinke’s 1 three business buildings in this place, t and will make various needed improve- f ments on the same. Adam will move 1 hw family to Walkerton soon, we un- } .derstand. 1 Ed Henderson while attempting to ‘ board aB. & O. local on Thursday 1 came near meeting with an accident. 1 The train was moving at, a snug speed • 1 «nd in attempting to get on he lost his hold and was thrown across the track c back of the caboose. j A party of young folks from North 1 Liberty had a pleasant social time on t Thursday evening at the residence of 1 Otis Williams Sr., in this place. Ase-; 1 lect few attended from this place. Re- - freshments were served at 12 o’clock, s .and the hours were whiled away very ■ < pleasantly. 1 We have perused all the daily papers 1 that could be gotten hold of during the past week, for the purpose of seeing if any mention hail been made of the Exterminator, so much is being said about * railroads of late, but not one word have $ we been able So see in any of them. Can it be possible that that right of way has sunk into complete oblivion! j Anna M. Baker, wife of Abington Baker, of Oregon township, died on Sun- * day, March 11, at& o’clock p. in., aged 1 “ * 29 years, 11 months and 25 days. She leaves-a husband and four small child. * ren to mourn her loss. The funeral * service was held from the Oregon 1 1 • church on Tuesday at 2 o’clock p. ex. ’ 1 Hurry scurry, grave and gay, all 1 must trudge the first of May. And we J see individuals almost daily hunting a J vacant house in which to shelter their J little broods. Tenement houses in x Walkerton are almost as scarce as eats’ 1 feathers. How often has the Independ- 1 ent announced the fact? Why doe’t some enterprising genius, with tlartw or forty dollars of loose capital, put up a row? ‘ j We believe as the sidewalk ordinance ! now is in WalKerton that it calls for afi 1 walks six feet wide, except on Atvenue i F. A four-foot walk would certainly ; answer a good purpose for many years : to come, on all back streets. There • are but two in town, that the Independent knows of, that would have to go in tandem on a four-foot walk—Tom Wolfe and Noah Shoemaker. All oth.ers could walk side by side.

The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. George Leslie died Friday morning, Mar. 16, ViK, aged six weeks. The funeral will be held at the family residence at 2 o’clock Saturday, Rev. Tinkham conducting the services. The story which has been running in this paper for several weeKs past, ends with this issue. Another serial of thrilling interest, entitled “A Sweet Revenge,” by Hugh Conway, will begin next week. Adam Baugher will hold a public sale of personal property, such as farming implements, stock, etc., 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. Au exchange says: 'Tie most important officers to be chosen at the spring election art the township trustees. They levy the taxes, spend a greater part of them, look after the roads, the poor and the schools, and to properly conduct the business of the ( office requires a man of good judgment and business qualifications. A Veteran Editor. Last Tuesday was the 77th birthday of I. Mattingly, the editor of the Bourbon Mirror, and he spent the afternoon and evening with his son, C. T. Mattingly, in this city. Mr Mattingly still wields a pen with the vigor of youth and can set type as rapidly as some of the boys. He began work in a printing office sixty-five years ago.—Plymouth Republican. Farmers say that if the spring is favorable the acreage of corn will be much greater than it has been for several years. During the jiast five years the farmers have lost money, or at least have made none, in raising wheat at as little cost as it can be raised anywhere, yet the farmers claim that they lose money in this crop. With a splendid market, excellent soil and the latest improved labor-saving machinery to be found here, the production of wheat is a losing game. Hence the horny handed sons of toil are contemplating a change to some other crop.—Ex. As a proof of the real benefit to be derived from advertising we wish to cite you to the prosperity of our townsman, Ed Vincent. Fd, as everybody knows, is a liberal advertiser, and always makes his words good by having on hand the quantity and quality of goods advertised, and at tine prices advertised. Ed, by liberal advertising (he always pays promptly, too), and doing an honorable butiness, has downed all competition and prospered beyond the expectation of his neighbors. Liberal advertising, a full stock of goods, genial ways and close prices have done the business. The sidewalk question is becoming one of more or less interest among the property holders just about now. One principal residence street is so arranged that every owner has a corner lot, the lot lying lengthwise with the street, the majority owning two lots in a body. This imposes quite an expense upon such persons, and, inasmuch as this steeet is one on which but little traveling is done, the Independent suggests that the Honorable Board permit the aforesaid unlucky persons to put down a good, substantial walk about four feet wide, which will answer an excellent purpose for that part of town. Now let the Board put that in its pipe and smoke it. The question having been asked how juries are drawn, an exchange replies: “The three jury commissioners are responsible for the whole thing. The business of these commissioners is to select the names of voters and free-holders from the tax duplicate to the number of twice the jury panel to serve, and placing them in a box to be locked and delivered to the county clerk who draws twelve names from the box, and in this way the juries are drawn. The law says that the commissioners are to appoint no one who has asked to be placed on the jury, nor allow anyone to •converse with them regarding the drawing. This, by the way, is a law not generally known. Their Business Booming.—Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Endley’s drug store as their giving away to their customers «wi so many free trial bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Roughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis, croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size sl. Every bottle warranted.

Stull farm, near Teegarden. Forty acres of good land; a special bargain will be given the purchaser, The Williams-Henderson Co. 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. Farmers Take Notice. The old reliable herdsman, Frederick Liable, desires to announce through the independent ikat he will herd and pasture cattle on his premises at $1.50 per head, and stand good for all losses. A Merited Eulogy. The New York Sun contained the following eulogistic obituary notice on the death of Byron Giberson, deceased son of Mr. A. H. Giberson of Marlboro: “Byron Giberson is dead. No experienced commercial traveler needs to be told who Mr. Giberson was. Herepresented the woolen house of Case Leland & Co. on Worth street, and he knew everybody from Dan to Beersheba, and from Jacksonville to Bangor. To hear bis hearty laugh was as good as a feast, and the man did not live who could find an enemy of his. He was a constant habitue of the cabaret on Franklin street, where commercial travelers, literary men and lawyers most do congregate, and the solemn hush of sorrow settled over them when they received a dispatch to the effect that poor “Gibe," as they called him, luvl died among strangers at the Genesev House, in Buffalo. His remains were taken to Marlboro, Ohio, bv his brother and there interred. The world has many commercial travelers, but few such good, whole-souled fellows as Byron Giberson.” The subject of tho above sketch, which we clip from the Alliance, 0., Leader, was a nephew of our fellowtownsman, Jacob Giberson. Family Reunion! There was a pleasant reunion at the residence of Samuel W. Miller, in this city, Saturdav, March 3. 1888. It was Mr. Millet’s 72nd birthday and all the family were invited home. All were there except G. W. Miller, of Kansas, from whom no response was received, he having probably changed his place of residence just at the time the invitations were sent out. Only the members of the family were present. The daughters were Mrs. 01 Fulmer, of Walkerton, Mrs. Ketcham, of Bourbon, and Mrs. Corbaley, and Mrs. Boyd, of Monroeville, Mrs. Charles Boggs, of Argos, with their husbandsand families. The sons present were E. H. Miller, of Bremen, Jonas C. Miller, of Rantoul, Kansas, Charley & Harry Miller, of Chicago. and A. C. Miller, of Plymouth, Ind., Samuel W. Miller has been a resident, of this county 44 years, coming here from Ohio, when this county was almost a wilderness. He has prospered and has raised a large family and he took this occasion to present each of his children a present of SI,OOO in cash. The children in return presented their father a nice rocking chair and a gold headed cane, and their mother a splendid water set and a hanging lamp. Amos, the sou residing near this city, made the presentation speech substantially as follows: Dear Parents, you kindly invited your children to meet you in a family reunion today to celebrate your 72nd birthday. It is the first time that the family have met in such a reunion, and we certainly appreciate it, feel happy and hope to have the pleasure of meeting you on many more happy birthdays. Dear Parents, we have a few presents, which we wish to present, not to increase your wealth, but to express the wealth of our love and gratitude, and we hope you will receive them as a token of love which your children feel for you, and we assure you that while you sojourn on this side of the river of Time we shall always give you the dutiful services due from children to parents, and now we wish to manifest our love by shaking hands with you. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, and the children were all visibly affected, but it was a happy moment, and the day is one that will be remembered with pleasure by every member of the family as long as they live.—Plymouth Republican.
