John McDaniel has located his express office in the postoffice building. Dr. M. A. Schutt, dentist, guarantees all his work. Office with Dr. Endley. Toin "Wolfe always has the largest and cheapest stock of shirts and overalls. More street lamps are needed to annihilate the gloom which pervades our streets after nightfall. The Walkerton cornet band will give n concert in this place in a few weeks. The entertainment promises to be firstclass. Horsemen will do well to call at the Independent office, see our stock of cuts and get prices of bills before placing their orders elsewhere. It makes them groan, but honest dealing will bring them, Give me a trial, 1 am anxious to please you. J. F. Reid, druggist. Honest dealing and low prices will win, and that’s the reason Ed Vincent, our furniture dealer, is having such an extensive business. Rev. "Wells, of Cleveland, 0., is expected to be here to open a series of meetings at the Presbyterian church Runday evening. Rev. Wells is highly spoken of as a speaker and Christian worker. The Independent has just added a large new rotary job press and sufficient material to do all kinds of job work. Will do your work cheaper than you can get it done anywhere else. Miss O. Millard has just returned from a stay of several days at Fort Wayne where she purchased a large assortment of millinery goods. Ladies wishing to see the latest novelties in the millinery line are invited to call. Behrens Bros.’ store has been overhauled and very tastily rearranged. The ceiling has been white washed, the front walls papered, and the woodwork re-painted in a rich cherry color. The work was in charge of Cowan & Pool, assisted by Edson Goit. Alex. Yetter left at this office the other morning a basKet of nice dressed fish, but forgot to say anything about how he came to leave them or who they were for. Printers are all honest and therefore we did not touch them, the result being the fish became too odoriferous for use. The WalKerton cornet band furnishes some very fine music upon our streets these beautiful evenings. The boys are fast improving under the guidance of Chas, Pool, and, indeed, play quite well. The citizens should offer every encouragement to the boys, for what’s a town without a band ? We received a dispatch Thursday bearing the sad news of the death of our sister-in-law, Miss Lou Jones, formerley of this place, now of Galien, Mich. Miss Jones came to her death by that dread malady, consumption. She died Wednesday night last. Particulars will appear in full in this paper next week. The new law prohibiting fishing in the lascs and streams of Indiana for five years, except with a Look and line went into effect immediately after passage. It muses every Road Supervisor a fish and game constable with power to arrest offenders and imposes a heavj fine on conviction. Offenders in th< Taxes and waters of this county shoulc bear the above statement in mind and thus avoid the payment of fines for wo feel sure that an effort will b made to strictly and rigorously enforc the law.

Tom Wolfe is now receiving his spring and summer stock of men’s and boys’ boots and shoes. Go and see the largest stock ever seen in Walkerton. The M. E. quarterly meeting held here last Saturday and Sunday was well attended, and Presiding Elder Beck preached in his usual interesting and pleasant manner. Mentone, a little town somewhere down yonder iu the woods, wants a band. Wonder if they could keep the frogs quiet long enough to give a band a respectable hearing. “It makes them groan.” I should say it did, but only once, when they ( have to pay 80 cents for a prescription that you can get filled at Endley’s wholesale drug house for 55 cents. The trial of Bem Scott, at South Bond, came to a close last Monday, the result being a sentence of five years in the penitentiary. The verdict is generally regarded as a very merciful one. Walkerton wants an agricultural fair. Among the premiums offered will, no doubt, be a doodle of marsh hay for the greenest cucumber, and a rattle-snake bolt for the champion buckle-berry thresher. —Mentone Gazette. The M. E. Sunday school is in a very flourishing condition. There were 137 present last Sunday, and the membership is increasing rapidly. A cordial invitation is extended to everybody to come and identify themselves with the» interests of the school. Mrs. Williams, wife of John Williams, of near this place, died on last Monday night after an illness of several days. Her age was 35 years, and she is survived by her husband and six children. She was an industrious woman, and a kind neighbor and loving mother and wife. The funneral, which was conducted by Rev. Mathews at the Oregon church Wednesday at 3 o’clock p. m. was attended by a large concourse of friends. The remains were buried in the Grovertown cemetery. The medley of sounds which greet one’s ear in Walkerton on these fine days is truly confusing. The sounds of tho carpenters’ saws and hammers blending with the ring of tho masons’ trowels and various other workmen’s tools all along the line, to say nothing of the babble of the many bystanders, ■ is a unique thing for our now more than thrifty town. Heretofore one or two buildings at a time were all that “ could be seen in process of construction. 1 But now, how different; going up by • the row, you might say! A physician writes that the solution used in the hand grenades now offered } so extensively for sale is easily and cheaply made by taking twenty pounds of common salt, ten pounds of sal ammoniac (muriate of amonia, to be had 7 of druggists), and dissolving in seven f gallons of water. When dissolved it can be bottled and kept in a room in the house. In case of fire one or two i bottles should be thrown with force into [. tho burning place, hard enough to - break them, and the fire will certainly a be extinguished. The Independent office is constantly n adding to its facilities for doing job r work, and all orders for stationery, card and all kinds of commercial printe ing will be given prompt and careful i- attention. Call and see us. Second r floor Rensberger block, Avenue F. f IS CONSUMPTION INCURABLE. ” Read the following: Mr. G. 11.

Hospitality is one of tho things that helps to build up a town that costs but little, and that little simply an effort. Some mon can give money to build up aud improve, others cannot, but al! can exert themselves a little in courtesies to newly made citizens, and it will have a bettor effect than most people think. Tho following item from tho Indianapolis Journal will apply equally well to this place, and our citizens will do well to bear the fact in mind ; “Towns do not boom themselves, tho peoph do it. Will Indianapolis citizens stand supinely by and see the surrounding villages take all the business prizes? A little energy and activity is what is most needed.” “1 wish you would tell mo.’ said a barber, “why a man always comes into a barber shop in an awful hurry and grumbles if he has to wait, and Lien goes out on tho corner aud stands for au hour, doiug nothing but drawing his breath? It is something I cannot understand and never have found anyone who can explain it. There is no place on earth where a man is so impatient as in a barber shop.” South Bend Times: Tho Times takes great pleasure iu stating that our townsman, W. M. Whitten, has been appointed engineer to plan and superintend tho removal of tho obstruction in the Kankakee river at Momence. The appointment was formally made Saturday. The Times congratulates Mr. Whitten as well as the commissioners who made the appointment. Mr. V> hitton will take pride in proving himsulf worthy of this mark of confidence. For Sale or Trade.

Reid, druggist: Sudden DciUh ol A. Elcnbitrgcr. The following are the particulars of th--death of our former townsman, Aaron Henbarger, ns given by the Plymouth Deuiccrat: ‘‘Aaron Henbarger was born in Cass county, Indiana. July 15, 1839, and died in Bourbon, Marshall county, Saturday, Anni 6. , Mr. lieuiuuger had only just -u tiled in Bourbon,having but recently purchased the opera house and other business property of Mr. Sear in that place in exchange for his farm near Walkerton. 11c had not been feeling very well for a few days before his J^ath, but Lis condition was not such ns to cause any fears us tn a fatal terunnal ; ot . Friday evening he began to grow worse, when the disease assumed the form of congestion of the lungs which resulted in death at four o'clock Saturday morning. His remains were brought to Plymouth Monday morning. The funeral took place from St. Thomas's Episcopal church undet the direction of the rector, Rev. Thomas B. Kemp, and the burial took place at Oak Hill Cemetery alongside of his wife, who died some two years ago. He leaves several children, grown, and partly grown, well provided for, and several brothers and slaters residents of Cass county. Mr. Renbarger- was a resident of Plymouth for many years, and was well known to the people here and throughout the county. He was formerly engaged in harness-making but latterly in the livery business. He was an energetic, driving, go-ahead, industrious business man. His likes and dislikes were strongly marked, and whatever faults he may have had were the worse for himself.
