Marshal Flatts culaboosed a follow last Saturday for a plain drunk. A full lino of furniture at Vincent’s, mid the cash will buy it cheap. The Mishawaka Enterprise has been running 34 years, and hasn’t got away yet. Wonder if Flymouth has that Three “Eye’’ railroad yet that it was so certain of? The prattle about excursions and cutting down the Canada thistle makes us tried. The Rev. Mr. Neg preached a very interesting sermon at the U. B. church last Sunday evening. Last Saturday was a lively day in town. A stranger would have taken it for a regular market day. The class of probationers will be received into the M.

Walkerton’s booming and getting right to the front and is now one of tho best towns of its size in Indiana, and wc are just that reekk^s that we don’t .care a fig wLio knows it. The Walkerton baud boys have rented a room adjoining tho Independent office, and they are in the habit of prac- ( ticing several evenings each week. New band Exchanges, catch on? The Bremen Enquirer is working ' like a nailoT to get a night watch in I that town. Cracking safe burglarizing stores, meat markets and the like * is of almost weekly occurrence there. A fellow who claimed to be a reporter for the Indianapolis Sun was about town last Monday. He may have been all that he represented himself to be, but he couldn’t walk a crack-when we saw him. Leroy Broekus, a L3-year-old boy who lives lei Argus, Indiana, weighs IG2 pounds. We saw him here last Monday, and he stated that he was here looking far employment. Heis a monster for one of his age. When the cold weather comes on and our people are compelled to let up on building and other out-door improvements, then we will print the main part of the boom. But it is impossible to keep track of the rush just now. William Hurst and Minnie Norwood were married last Tuesday (‘veiling by the Rev. Hildebrand, at his residence, one rude east of town. The ceremonies were witnessed by Mrs. Hildebrand and two daughters. Congratulations. From ten to fifteen men have been working daily in digging the cellar and laying the foundation walls of the FryeDougherty building, for more than u ^outh, just completing them this week. It covers much territory, and is an excellent foundation, as it should bo, for anch a large structure. Letters of inquiry concerning the needs of a grist and flouring mill at this place are coming in from various parties who think of locating hero in the business. Now you see it won’t be long until some one will embrace the opportunity and put in a mill right here. Then the balance of you fellows, who are halting between two opinions, will be left out in the suburbs. Joseph McDonald, whom tho Indevendent .Lad occasion to report as having attempted suicide by tho Paris green route, and who at the time it appeared would pull through, died as a > result of his work. He was buried lust Saturday by tho G. A. R 's. Suicides should receive stinging rebukes, that Ahey might never do so again.

They steal any thing they can get their hands on but the South Bend editors There are eight physicians in Walkerton, and in spite of all of them, there is comparatively but little sickness here. Prof. S. C. Fulmer, of South Bend, preached a very acceptable sermon at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. Henry Rupe, who lives a couple miles south of North Liberty, threshed 20 acres of wheat that averaged 37 bushels to tho acre. South Bend gets another quite valuable accession in the way of a saw-inill and bent wood establishment. It will be styled The Perley-Koontz factory. There is considerable bustle on our streets all through the day, and six days in the week —but we would just like to have tho Mentone Gazette seo the rush evening^! The indications point to a big potato crop or a big crop of potatoes.—LaPorte Argus. Down this way the indications point to both. On Thursday the young people of the Christian Alliance Society spent the day pic-nicking in Behren’s grove. Choice refreshments, and merry games rendered the day one pleasant to remember. Edson Goit, the new' postmaster, took possession of the office here last Monday morning. Mr. George Leslie is deputy.

He has already received his commission and will take possession in a few days. Dan will evidently do the ' fair thing and sell stamps as low us possible. Dr. 1. W. Chnrch hereby gives no- ' tice that he lias returned to Walkerton ( for the purpose of practicing his profession. and is ready to answer all calls night or day. Special attention will be given to pension business. Headquarters Florence Hotel. Our subscribers uro paying up right promptly and we are glad to be able to note the fact. Still there are some ; who owe the Independent two and even three years’ subscription. To such we are compelled to say that pa- i Hence has ceased to be a virtue, and that they must look after tho matter or their accounts will be left for collection. We are running the paper partly for i our health, but not altogether. । Wo clip the following to show our readers just Low awfully wicked some editors are: It is said Talmage received SI,OOO for 2 Sunday lectures at Maxinkuckee. ' Sam Jones will probably smash another “sacred" Sabbath all to smithereens , in the same pious manner. “Thre’s ( tricks in all trades," but this thing of turning Sunday and sermonizing into a joint speculation knocks out most of • them.—Logansport Journal. । Oh no. That's business. But when , a saloon man opens his doors on the v Sabbath and sells a schooner of beer on which ho makes one cent profit, that’s blasphemy. It takes a religious hypocrite to get the milk out of the coeoanut.—Logansport Chronicle. We now and then hear a statement made to the effect that tho fair ground project has fallen entirely through with. Such, however, is not the case. It was late in the season before the idea of such an enterprise was sprung and it rather took the people by surprise, and it therefore became necessary to extend the time that they might have time to rally from the shock, as it were. An auspicious time, then, to push the project, will be next spring early, for already a great majority of our citizens begin to express regret because we did not go on with it this season. Ail with whom wo confer concerning the matter appear to manifest an anxiety to pitch in as soon as the weather will permit in the spring. Tn speaking of the death of Mrs. Conover, a former highly esteemed resident of this place, the Plymouth Democrat says: “Mrs. Jerushu Conover, the wife of the late Joseph Conover, died in this city last Friday afternoon at one o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. <J. V. Astley, after a lingering illness of paralysis. She was born in Newburg, New York, seventytwo years ago and during her life reared a family of seven daughters, all of whom are married and survive her. Only two of her daughters, Mrs. J. V. Astley and Mrs. H. B. Whitlock, reside in this city. A short service was held Saturday forenoon and tho remains taken to South | Bend on the noon train for burial. She I was an estimable lady, much respected Hu life, ami deeply i ' ‘urm d io death by a large circle ul friends.”

Dewey and others, now pending in the court of common pleas of Lucas county, Ohio. The defense was represented by C. 11. Smith, of the law firm of Dunean, Smith & Wilson, of Indianapolis. That Grist and Flouring Mill A very enthusiastic meeting of s couple dozen of Walkerton's energetic business mon was held in the McConnell banking rooms last Tuesday evening, for the purpose of conferring together concerning the propriety of taking steps toward inducing Air. Asa Knott & Son, of North Liberty, to remove their mill to this place. The Knotts were present and manifested a desire to come provided our citizens would donate sufficient means to move the plant and furnish a site. Air. Davis, general superintendent of freght, was also present, and offered, on the part of the B. Nr O. company, to give the grounds for mill, eluyator, etc. Air. Davis also proposes to put down a spur leading from the main truck of the B. & O. to the mills and elvators. Quito a number of our citizens expressed a willingness to donate sums all tho way from S2O to SSO. We uro advised that it is safe to say that a .sufficient amount will bo donated and that the enterprise will soon be identified us a valuable accession to Walkerton. Tho prime movers in this thing request the Independent to ask that all who possibly can, that is, those who will be at all benofitted by this enterprise, to donate accordingly. Later: On Thursday evening another meeting was held with a laig< r attendance. The meeting assumed form and order by electing a chairman, etc., etc. It was decided to accept Air. Knott’s proposition, and E.

The Iron l>uke to his Soldi cm. “Do your duty," were the words of Lord Wellington to his soldiers just before the battle of Waterloo and history tells us how well they obeyed. The same advice might properly bo given to every living man at this time. There are many men who would do their whole duty iu time of war or great need, but when there is no such great occasion, neglect their plain simple duties to their God, their families and themselves. It is not for want of honor nor because they do not lovo their families, but from pure neglect; as an instance, statistics compiled by the national authorities show that more deaths result from bowel complaints than any other one cause, except consumption, yet not more than one family in six are provided with medicines 1 that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is tin' duty of evt ry man to look after these small matters? and protect their families, and they are certainly at least, guilty of criminal carelessness if they neglect to do so. Noone can plead poverty in this instance, as the best remedy there is for the purpose only costs but 25 cents. The article we refer to is Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is certain cure for cramps, colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea, bloody ilux, cholera infantum, and bowel complaint in.all its forms.
