Edson Goit., our new postmaster, received his commissi ni last Tuesday, and expects to take charge Monday next. Al Hardenbrook got the first job of work done on the new rotary press at thia office; five hundred envelopes. Al well pleased. For Sale or Trade.—One threshing machine and engine, one clover huller, and one buzz saw. Terms reasonable, J. L. McDaniel. Frank Long, the “store” keeper arrested here the other day, demonstrated to the authorities beyond question that he was no back number. It is said that near one hundred and fifty people went from this place last Sunday to Maxinkuckee. Some of them allow that Sam Jones is immense. For Sale or Trade.—One eightfaucet Soda Fountain. Everything complete and in good running order. Reason for selling, no room for one. • We understand that J. B. Morford, who has been employed in Dan Beall’s meat market at this place for several months past, is about to remove to Leesburg, this Stale, to engage in the gloat business. Jake Barnhart says that Sam Jones, the eminent divine who spoke at Maxinkuckee last Sunday, is a very small man ami looks very much like “Stub” Rensberger, of this place. Tub should be. and no doubt is, encouraging to Stub. The Independent is now equipped to do almost any kind of plain job work as well as it can be done anywhere, and‘at prices as low as can be had. Come on with your job work, anywhere froui one hundred to one hundred thousand impressions. The saloons were all closed in one portion of Chicago last Sunday, while in another portion they were all running in open violation of law. There was no such partiality as that shown by the authorities of the South Chicago of the blueberry marsh on that day. The Plymouth Republican as a rule pays but little attention to snakes, but ft lias managed to get the biscuit at last. It tells about a snake having been killed down in Warrick county, this State, (the county that Cabbage represented in the legislature) by Jacob Jones, which measured 22 feet and JOB inches long, and 18 inches in circumference. Hurrah for the Republican. We Impped Jerry Tank, the whortleberry manager of the Behrens Bros, store, the other day, to find out the extent of that firm’s transactions in that almost legal tender in this district at the present time. Jerry informs this paper that, from July 1 to July 29, inclusive, they had shipped and sold at the store thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and six quarts of berries. Our old friend, Dr. Richmond, proposes to stir up the animals round about with a series of articles through the Independent, under the caption of ’The Nature of Man.” The Doctor shoves a pretty heavy pencil and we presume there will be someone at least who will feel like downing him. The columns of the Independent will bo open for short articles xyritten in a friendly and suitable manner. Now pitch in. A thief entered the residence of H. B. Wooster, hardware dealer, of North Liberty, last Sunday night and robbed him of about cas h- Had Mr. Wooster taken the precaution to place his money in the bank at this place he would not have sustained any loss. Everybody in possession of money, no matter how small the quantity, would better deposit it in bank for safe keeping. It costs nothing to do so. 9he robbery so frightened us that w< immediately .st ir’ed out to borrow ten dollars that we might place it in bank.

1 rge the sidewalking and cleaning up of the railroad grounds, especially on the side adjoining the row of new brick buildings recently erected. Dr. I. W. Church is in town greeting his friends. The Doctor Ims so far recovered from his recent injury that ho is able to walk with the aid of a cane. It is reported that the authorities in Marshall and Stark counties caused something of a fluttering at the huckleberry marsh the other day. The place has been practically abandoned. The foundation walls are almost ready for the brick masons on the great Frye-Dougherty building. The brick work will be rapidly pushed, and ere long Walkerton can boast of one of the largest brick business buildings in this section of country. John Miller has so far recovered from his injury receivedin playing ball that he lias resumed his old position with the Stephens Store Company. John is said to be an excellent salesman, pleasant and quite accommodating and therefore well liked both by employers and customers. There are no less than three firms figuring on this locality for starting a grist and flouring mill. One such an enterprise would certainly do well here. Don’t make too many figures, gentlemen delays are dangerous. Remember that Walkerton’s bound to continue to improve whether we get more factories or not. The farming community warrants that. A Wabash, Ind , correspondent, for the Chicago Daily News had the gall to attempt to say a few things derogatory to Walkerton in connection with the huckleberry marsh! For downright cheek that fellow should have the belt. Only to think, a Wabaslian, an acclimated citizen of that riotous don of bandits, to dare to lift up his guttural voice against a pious town like Walkerton! It is almost enough to drive one to—a trip on the Exterminator. F D. F. Sheneman, a well-to-do farmer living 21 miles west of North Liberty, had his barn destroyed by lightning hist Saturday night. His losses were about $3,000; insured for $1,400. Four horses were burned to death or so badly that they had to be killed. There were about 500 bushels new and about 150 of old wheat in the barn, and about 30 loads of clover hay. A young man who was in the employ of a patent medicine man, of Three Oaks, Michigan, was arrested by Kirt Wolfenbarger last Tuesday, in the woodshed at the school house near Koontz's mill, ami turned over to the deputy sheriff, of Buchanan, Michigan. He gave the name of Ed Smith. His employer had hired a slouch of a livery rig to peddle with, and it seems the fellow got too much huckleberry juice aboard and disposed of the rig. The deputy sheriff paid Kirt the $25 reward which had been offered and went his way for Three Oaks. Joseph McDonald, a gentleman upwards of sixty years of age, and living about one mile from this place, it would seem, was tired of monkeying around upon this mundane sphere, and therefore attempted the paris green route to a world of fewer trials and tribulations. The old gentleman, however, was doomed to disappointment. Dr. Richmond was called and by some moans soaked the stuff out of him, and at this writing he still liveth Joseph had, some time ago, tried the old reliable “Rough on Rats” rohte, which also proved futile. The Chicago Daily News of last Thursday, in an editorial in which it attempts to curry favor with quite a number of its indignant readers, inadvertantly admits the following: "So, also, in this city several thousand saloons are open every Sunday in violation of law, and scenes of disorder, violence, and even homicide are the regular result." Think of it. Regular result. And yet that paper exultingly gives space to silly country correspondents for paragraph after paragraph for the purpose of scoring Walkerton because it happens to be located within four miles of the whortleberry marsh where Chicago thieves congregate a few days each year to do their nefarious work. ” As if Walkerton had anything to do with it. Oh, rats! A Word to our Correspondents; Once more is the Independent compelled to ask of its country correspondents to boil down their communications. Flease be as brief as possible, gentlemen, and write nothing but news of interest to all. Deaths, births, marriages, accidents, church doings, pal ties, a good big turnout in the way of a crop, and other matters concerning farming, arrivals and departures in your respective localities, etc., etc. Such as, “We wonder what attraction there can be over the hill that induces a certain "- 11 v with the striped brecohes to O o over there every Sunday evening?” is a variety of literature that we can’t use. Boys, please omit everything which appears to be mysterious or leaves doubt upon the mind of the reader as to what you mean. Such hints might possibly be understood by one or two persons, but they are very disgusting to the readers in general. We hope no one will take offense at this request, for it is a reasonable one.

Mr. Brown, Mr. Long. Genuine linen coats 25 cents each, at Tom Wolfe’s. 25 PER CENT. OFF On all straw hats, at Tom Wolfe’s. Pickles are beginning to come into the salting factory in quite largo quantities. The gentleman will please take notice that we differ with him in opinion, not FROM him. Mr. Long had important business in Ohio, and it was presumptuous for the authorities to ask him to tarry. That a grist and lionring mill is needed and would do well here is a question about which there can be no doubt. Who will be the lucky man or men? PAY YOUR~DEBTS. I shall send a statement to every person owing me one dollar or more, during August and 10 days after date of statement shall place the claim in the hands of a collector (if not paid before then.) So, if you want to avoid being dunned and paying costs come and pay me at once. T. J. Wolfe. Walkerton, August Ist. The McConnell Bros, moved their bank into the commodious room recently litted up for them by Elwood McDaniel in his new hotel building, last Wednesday. The boys now have a nice, large room in every way suited to their purposes, and the Commercial Bank of Walkerton puts on as much style as anybody. Drop in, gentlemen, and make your deposits. Our merchants and business men begin to declare that a bank is a handy thing to have around after all. Mr. Frank Long, an energetic business man from Chillicothe, Ohio, who set up a "store” on our streets last Saturday after having done business for two or three weeks at the whortleberry marsh, was arrested and taken before Esquire George, who informed Mr. Long that it was worth $25 to run a gambling device upon our streets, and that he should have to charge him that amount together with costs amounting in all to about S3B. Mr. Long didn’t exactly hayo the money and was therefore committed to the "cooler" for safekeeping until the day following when he could be taken to South Bend. Mr. Long, however, appeared to be a little, particular about where he stayed and left during the night. He will probably drop in some tine day and square up with the authorities. "Store” keepers are usually prompt pay. Men of that character must learn that Walkerton is not the whortleberry marsh in Marshall and Stark counts s. Obituary. Mi'COOL Meda Cunningham was born March 16, lbi>7, near Lakeville, St. Joseph County. Indiana, and died at her home, in Walkerton, July 24. 1889, aged 22 years, 1 months and 8 days. In early childhood she was an unusually pleasant and bright student, standing well in her classes. She chose for her calling the profession of teaching, in which she succeeded well, bur soon, on account of failing health, was compelled to abandon her chosen occupation. She joined the Methodist Episcopal church under the labors of Rev. J. H. Wilson, in 1883, at Milburn chapel. South Bend, Indiana. She was united in marriage with Walter McCool, April 22, 1889, only three months and two days prior to her death. She leaves to mourn her loss a young husband, four brothers and one sister, and an aged mother. Other relatives, neighbors and friends mourn the loss of this bright young life. The funeral occurred at the Methodist Episcopal church, Friday, July 26, 1889 at 9:30 a.m. The funeral procession was formed at her home. Her pastor led the procession, followed by her Sun-day-school class of thirteen little girls, each of whom on entering the church placed a beautiful boquet on the casket. The choir, which was made up of members of the Presbyterian and Methodist choirs, acquitted themselves in a creditable manner. Her funeral was preached from 11. Corinthians, iv. chapter and 18th verse, by Rev. Mathews, to a large and appreciative congregation. The remains were taken to the Fair Cemetery, where a largo number of friends gathered to pay the last respects to their loved one. PERSONAL ITEMS Mrs. O. F.
