Lakeville, thia county, with scant 340 inhabitants, has .five saloons, and all are said to be dding a flourishing business. If this copy of the Indkp kndent be carefully perused it will be noticed that the forming of an agricultural] society is hinted at. Horsemen will do well to call at the Imdspendext office, see our stock,of euts and get prices of bills before placing their orders elsewhere. The sign on Del Hudelmyer’s office, painted by Cowen & Pool, is a good •one, i. e., well executed, dope in a true artistic manner. Dora Wotfemberger put up the first wooden building in the burnt district; Elwood McDaniel the next, Doc. Woodworth the next.

The crop report says the spring so f<r, is in advance compared with other years; wheat is gr^^^nd it is .well rooted now; in most parts it looks better than it has, at this time of the season, for many years, and the prospect for a large yield is very encouraging.. One of the papers says that when a mud-hole in LaPorte dried up the other day they found portions of three wagons, a barrel of salt, a pair of boots and a keg of nails. They are searching it for two men who mysteriously disappeared. . Mrs. Dr. Smith has returned from Chicago where she purchased a fine lot of millinery goods, consisting of hats, bonnets, frames, ribbons and beautiful flowers. ' Miss Ida Beach, who has charge of the trimming department, is capable of pleasing tho taste of the most fastidious. A more interesting series of discourses has seldom been given here than those of the past two weeks at the Presbyterian church by Bey. Wells. Much interest has Been mad^ manifest and good done at the meetings, which, notwithstanding other public attractions have all been well attended. Indianoplis Journal: Indiana’s example in erecting a soldier’s monument is exciting the emulation other States. lowa has ordered one to cost not exceeding $190,000, and a commission is now receiving designs. It is only a question of time when every Northern State will do likewise, but we doubt if any will exceed Indiana in the liberality of its provisions or in throughness of preliminary Reparation. Mentone, a little town somewhere down yonder in the woods, wants a band. under if they could keep the frogs quiet long enough to give a baud a respectable hearing.—Walkerton Independent. No, thank you, Mentone has a hand and a good one, too. But we get some information from the al>ove item. It niost strikingly shows the trend of the Independent man’s thoughts.

Jernegan died in Naples, Italy, April 14. He was a leading member of the bar of St. Joseph county in 1842. He was an uncle of Ed Jernegan ^editor Os the Mishawaka Enterprise. So many people are prejudiced against preachers. We kept an eye on the members of the ministerial gathering while they were hero this week and, so far as we could see, they behaved themselves. Bem Scott, the Elkhart murderer, passed through the city on his way to priaon, Friday. He was not hand cuffed, and, with band box and satchel in band, calmly walked behind the Sheriff to the livery barn, where they secured a horse and drove to Michigan City. —LaPorte Herald. City Surveyor Whitten has returned from Indianapolis where he met the drainage commissioners and they authorized him to begin the work of surveying the Kankakee at Momence, where the obstructions are to be removed. He will begin the work next Tuesday.— South Bend Saturday Tribune, April 20. ■ A few of tlje most intimate friends of Grandma Curtis met on Friday of last week at her pleasant rooms at her daughter’s, Mrs. Amos Stephenson, to help her celebrate her 76th birthday. An excellent dinner and supper were served and they all enjoyed a good old fashioned all day’s visit. There were present Mrs. Gorseline, Mrs. H. Granger, Mrs. Chas. Granger, Mrs. W. A. Dailey and Mrs. R. Rupel, also from Plymouth were Mrs. Whitlock, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Leßoy and Mrs. Burch. The Walkerton Independent still attacks the B. & O. and with ghoulish gle? and ghastly gesticulations gyrates grimaces over the late horrdr and accident at South Chicago. Brother Endley, in his zeal for the downfall of the road, should not rejoice over the death and injury of its patrons or its employes. An accident is deeply deplored by the company, and the Baltimore & Ohio road has the satisfaction of knowing that fewer passengers have been injured or kilksl on their road than on others. —Garrett Saturday Herald. The only difference that can l>e seen between the account given by the Independent and the Herald of the horrible accident at South Chicago is, that both papers took the “ghastly gesticulations” and “grimaces” l>odily from the Chicago Daily News, the Independent giving proper credit, and the Herald stealing its account. The Herald is welcome to its truckling proclivities, its aptness iu plagiarism and its pass over the Exterminator. The inventor of the “Pigs in Clover” puzzle is Moses Lyman, a farmer living near Waverly, N. Y. He has had a large number of children and keeps a great many pigs. One day he wished to amuse his youngsters and the idea of his famous puzzle come into his head. He thereupon made out of a piece of wood and little pasteboard the original of the “Pigs in Clover.” A toy manufacturing firm at Elkland, Pa., heard of his puzzle and made him a handsome offer, which he accepted, for the exclusive right to patent and manufacture the plaything. A fortune has already been made out of she fascinating little device; and more would be made if they could be manufactured fast enough.—Ex. For Sale or Trade.

"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease 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 incessantly 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 was Miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby,N. C. —Get a free trial bottle at J. Endley’s Drug Store.

An Attempt by Burglars to Rob tbe Walkerton Bank. Early Saturday morning it was discovered that burglars had entered the Walkerton bank aud attempted to enter the mammoth safe. They had succeeded in blowing off the outer doors but here they had to stop, for the safe is one of those which it is impossible for a burglar to get into in less than 24 hours hard work, so although they ruined the safe, they failed to get near the valuables which lay securely in the inner vault. It is thought that the blowing took place about two o’clock in the morning, and between two and three o’clock two strange men took the train for Chicago; these same men were seen in town the day before and it is said that they got their drills sharpened at a blacksmith shop in Teegarden. But they have escaped surely enough, perhaps to come back at some future time and try their luck again. Tho way is open for them, in fact the prospect is really inviting—no possible protection for ua—we are entirely at their mercy. What we want to do as citizens is to rouso up, club together and take some means of protecting our own and our neighbors’ property from the outrages of robber gangs. A Sketch of the Life of the late O. W. Reece. David Wesley Reece was born in Grainger county, East Tennessee, December 22, 1811. He died at his residence, one mile south of North Liberty, April 18, 1889, in his 78th year. 1 His grandfather, Thomas Reece, was of English descent, and was born and raised in North Carolina. He was a member of the Quaker church. His father, Thomas Reece, was born in North Carolina in the year 1779. While he wos quite young, tho family emigrated to East Tennessee. Like his father, he embraced the Quaker faith, but in 1819 withdrew from the society (there being no organization of the Order near him) and joined the M. E. church, remaining a consistent member until his death which occurrcxl in Alabama in the year 1849. His mother, Mary Glasgo, was of Welch descent, and was born in Virginia in 1783. Her father’s family likewise emigrated to East Tennessee where she became acquainted with and married Thomas Reece in 1894. Their union woe blessed by five sons and three daughters, David W. being the third child born to them. The mother also died in Alabama in 1853. At the age of 21 the subject of this sketch came to Favette county, Ind., where he taught school dusing the winters and worked at odd jobs in summer until he succeeded in accumulating a little money, During his stay in Fayette county he formed the acquaintance of Nancy Moore Wilson, daughter of Gen. Jeremiah A. and Rebecca Wilson, old settlers of the county, and on April 26th, 1838, they were married. In October, 1842, they moved to St. Joseph county wheere he entered a quarter section of land four miles west of Lakeville, and began the arduous task of clearing up his farm. After many years of incessant toil and hardships peculiar to the early settler, he disposed of his property and purchased 160 acres one mile south of North Liberty where he continued to reside until his death. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss, a little daughter having preceded him to the spirit world many years ago. Father Reece was a man of unusual firmness and decision of character, Guided by a keen sense of right, he was slow to form a conclusion, but when once formed it was as immovable as the rock-ribbed hills that surrounded his birthplace. He labored to elevate public opinion to a high plane of thought, and rejoiced to see the advancement of education, morality, and religion. Unselfish in his motives, to him the church and school-house were more desirable than a bank account. His loftiest ambition was to be on tho right side of every great social, moral, political, or religious question. He often remarked that he wished to so order his life that the world might be the better for his having lived in it. He was a warm personal friend and admirer of the late Schuyler Colfax, and regarded him as one of God’s noblemen. To his wife he was a loving and faithful husband; to his cl ’’ J ren a kind and indulgent father. He bore his affliction with Christian fortitude, retaining his mental faculties unimpaired up to the last moment. Surrounded by hit family his end was peaceful, blending in sweet harmony with the quiet and balmy spring evening when his spirit left its tenement of clay and enteied the new life beyond the grave. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. D. A. Grime at 19:30 a. m., Sunday, April 21st, at the M. E. church, of which the deceased was an honored member for over 37 years.
