We know of a harness shop, containing a neat stock, for sale below' cost. Call at this office. A planing mill and wood lathe and jig-saws, etc., etc., would do an immense business in this place. Bose Bros., the Thicket meat market men. it is believed, will erect a brick market building next season. There is some talk of T. J. Wolf putting up a fine large brick building in the spring for a clothing store. If the third story won’t pay as an opera hall convert it into a merchant’s hotel and make it pay. That’s business. In a good many particulars the Chicago Herald’s write-up of tho marsh

and of Walkerton was right-wrong. Novels, magazines and a groat variety of excellent reading matter will always bo found at the Independent Store. A fresh supply of books, novels, etc., at the Independent Store. Prices as low as can be found any place. Pave Petrie is no slouch, of course ho isn’t.

North Liberty thinks that Walkerton hasn’t but two hundred dollars subscribed to get the mill here and that but fifty of that is collectable. There is strong talk of building the Frye-Dougherty building three stories high. It wouldn’t do to sneeze at a building 70 by 82, three stories high. Who said this town couldn’t raise the money to get the grist and flouring mills? The lucre is more than half made up already. The mill's coming,

i and don't yon forget it. Dan Beall drove in a fine herd of ! young cattle the other day, out of * which he intends to make beef. Mem- ■ hers of the soup-bone and-boiling assoI ciation are invited to call at his brick i maet market. The Lake Erie & Western depot in l this place is a disgrace to the road and | to the town.—Plymouth Democrat. We always argued khat, those fellows j who said the town was a disgrace to the depot, lied about it. In your excitement over the almost ; unparalleled prosperity of Walkerton, : just at present, don’t forget about the | fair ground that is to occupy your attention in early spring. The fair I ground must and will come. Our | sleepy Rip Van Winkles have aroused from their lethargy. The lady evangelist who occupied Bev. Keg’s pulpit last Sunday evening, took occasion among the first things she said to fault the Independent. Baid she: “I read &n item in your pa- ; per here that didn’t please me.” ' Well, that makes her and the IndSi pendent a stand-off. Wo heard a lady > evangelist at the U. B. church last f Sunday evening whose preaching didn't ; “please” us. Walkerton wanted a bank and it got t it; it wanted more good business rooms i and it got them and is getting more; it wanted a grist and flouring mill and [ it is about to get it; it wanted one of ■ the largest brick buildings in northern ■ Indiana and it is getting it. Walker- | ton is getting a good many good things, | thank you, ami is positively one of the liveliest towns for miles and miles , around.

Boys, you should dwell in harmony. Mishawaka, through the Enterprise, is laying claim to the smallest calf. M ulkorton, through the Independent, lays claim to some of the biggest ones. Banker McConnell is working day and night to secure a grist and flouring mill for this place. A dozen like Mac would make a good sized town in

six months. Rerv. Keg, pastor of tho U. B. church at this place, will preach his farewell sermon Sunday evening, unless he should bo assigned to this charge for another year. It is not an uncommon occurrence to see from fifty to a hundred wagons hovering about the pickle salting factory of an evening waiting for their turn to unload. Let Nappanee make a note of that. J. H. Hildebrand, of near this place, is agent for the Favorite Washing machine. It is one of the best washers ever before the public and he is meeting with good success selling them. Airs. Abraham Stump desires to return her sincere thanks through the columns of the Independent to her friends of Teegarden and vicinity for their kindness shown during her recent affliction. Dr. I. W. Church hereby gives notice that he has 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 at Florence Hotel. The Knox Ledger is trying to make Plymouth feel good again by announcing that the Three I railroad is to be extended to that place this fall. The editor of the Democrat, having been fooled so much by such announcements, appears to accept tho statement with a

grain of doubt. Dr. Hammond, a harness thief, took the rope route for over there last Friday night in his cell at the South Bend jail. He made the rope out of strips torn from his bed tick. Ho had previously made ono of the kind, but it was discovered and taken from him. He was a very enterprising gentleman, however, and was not to bo foiled in his laudable purpose by any sheriff. A Walkerton correspondent of the Chicago Herald has dished up the beauties and wickedness of tho huckleberry marshes near there in sensational style.—South Bend Daily Tribune. No Walkerton correspondent did it. The Herald sent a man hero who remained but a day getting pointers from Tom, Dick and Harry; hence the numerous incorrect statements in the write-up. Don’t kill the toad, the ugly toad, that hops around your door. Each meal the ugly toad doth eat a hundred bugs or more; he sits around with asspect meek until the fly has neared, then shoots he forth his little tongue like lightning double geared. And then doth wink and when he’s wunk, he

shuts ids ugly mug, and patiently doth wait until there comes another bug.— Ligonier Leader. When the head of the thigh bone is thrown out of the socket by diseased action it is usually drawn by muscular contraction some distance from it, and the socket fills up with matter deposited, or partially so, or is destroyed by absorption, so that, in due time, a perfect socket is obliterated and the head of the bone adapts itself to its new position and an imperfect socket is formed by nature. Notwithstanding these insurmountable obstacles, we are told in all candor (?), that faithand prayer caused a dislocation of that kind, of long standing, to reduce itself with a loud snap! Oh, ye of little faith! Thoy is an ordinance in the town of Walkerton which provides that all peddlers of wares, merchandise, produce, etc., are required to pay one dollar a day for such privileges, excepting in the case of those who make Walkerton their regular marketing place. A farmer living remote from here, and not making this his marketing place, is bound by the ordinance to pay to the town one dollar a day for peddling produce. The gentleman who sold the pears on our streets had the ordinance read to him, and he frankly stated that Walkerton was not his trading point; ami further said that according to the ordinance he was under obligations to pay the dollar a day. The ordinance simply protects farmers who both buy and sell here. It is a just provision. The town attorney doesn’t get a penny of such money paid, lie is employed by the year, at a certain salary, to enforce a compliance with the ordinances.

Go to Bose Bros, for choice meats. A horse owned by Adam Baugher died this week. It is a query how some of our neighboring towns get along without a grist and flouring mill. Rev. Prentice will preach at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening. AH cordially invited. Come in and inspect my stock and prices. Always pleased to show goods. Jno. M. Eberlein. Liveryman Wolfenberger tells us that nine of his horses have about recovered from the distemper, leaving but one about which there is any doubt. Walkerton’s new band practices next door to tho Independent editorial office. God have mercy on the scribe, fore tho band won’t. — Argos Reflector. Thanks, a thousand times, thanks to tho Reflector for its prayer in our behalf. All those knowing themselves indebted to me are requested to settle by October 1, 1889. All accounts not paid by that time will be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. T. J. Reece.

We accepted tho kind invitation of t Landlord Cribbs for dinner at the St. James House one day this week.— Avilla News. Why didn't yon say, Cribbs asked us to eat? That would have told tho story. Who ever knew an editor to refuse to accept such an invitation? John W. Siders, editor of the Plymouth Republican, has received the appointment for postmaster at that place. All editors are good fellows, and therefore tho appointment ought to be a good one. There is the usual amount of kicking, however. The undersigned for and in behalf of the friends and relatives of Jacob Bender, Sr., deceased, tenders the citizens of Walkerton and vicinity their heartfelt thanks for kindness and courtesies shown them in their bereavement. John S. Bender. The LaLorto Argus is as dead set against the legal breaking of necks or the butchery of mankind as ever. In all likelihood it will never pretend to favor it for the sake of popularity either. Taking life for crime is a relic of barbarism and origated in the Bible days of “eye for eye and tooth for tooth. ’’ Elwood McDaniel has opened up business in his new bricx building, and invites his old patrons and the public in general to call and seo him.

Willie Shoemaker, aged about 18 years, residing at this place, while in the employ of the B. & O. R. R. Co., on last Wednesday, was struck by a rapidly passing train about four miles west of Miller's Station, and was almost instantly killed. The track is double at that point, and, as we get the particulars, a hand car was approaching on one of the tracks attracting the young man’s attention who stepped over on the other track not noticing tho rapidly approaching fast train which hurled him to his doom. It is said that he was thrown about 90 feet. The skull was extensively fractured, ono arm dislocated at tho shoulder and ono hip badly mutilated. Ho was brought homo on tho milk train and taken to Vincent's undertaking establishment, cared for i and removed to his father’s house. Tho funeral took place from the M. E. church at 10;30 a. m. Friday, Rev. । Mathews officiating. His remains were laid in the cemetery at this place. Tho

friends have tne heartfelt sympathy of this entire community. Drath ol Father Bender. Jacob Bender, Sr., known for many years at this place as Father Bender, was born January 22, 1804, near Carlisle , Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. He was married to Jane I). Dobbs at Milltown, Juniatti county, Pennsylvania, February 21, 182(5.

Tibbitts, and Mrs. Adeline Glazebrook, and a number of grand and great grandchildren. Deceased removed to Ohio in 1838, residing near Shreve and Mansfield until 181 G, when he removed to Northern Indiana, residing much of the time in St. Joseph county. He was a prominent and respected citizen of Walkerton for many years, and bis loss is mourned by the entire community; was an ardent Christian, being an active member of the United Brethren church at the time of his demise. He never missed attendance at the prayer and regular meetings of his church were it possible for him to bo present. , The funeral services were held at the ■ M. E. church Wednesday at 10:30 a. m., Rev. Keg, of the United Brethren church officiating. The obsequies were lagely attended and the remains were 1 tenderly borne to their last resting - place in the Walkerton cemetery, followed by a large concourse of friends.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Sudden Death of a Valued Citizen. t Abraham Stump, residing about four mi'es southeast of Teegarden, was terribly mutilated from which injuries he ' expired almost instantly by a rapidly ' passing train on the B. & O. railroad in Teegarden last Saturday at 3 p. m. [ He was at tho postoffice and heard the west-bound fast train approaching when he ran out to look after his team which ( was hitched on tho opposite side of the railroad. In attempting to cross ho , was caught by tho train and. thrown about GO feet into a pile of boxes breaking his neck, ono arm and terribly mutilating ono hip« Ho was aged G 3 years; was a faithful member of the Brethren church; was a well-to-do farmer, and highly respected by all who knew him. Quite a number of people saw the accident occur, among whom was his wife, who was completely overcome. He was buried from the Brethren church in the cemetery near his home, at 10 o’clock a. m. Monday. Revs. Peters and Kneisley had charge of the ceremonies. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in that locality, it being estimated that there were from 800 to 1000 people in attendance, and about 150 teams in the procession from the church to the cemetery.

Last Thursday evening, nt the M. E. church, in the presence of about one hundred invited guests, Mr. Thompson Tumor and Miss Ella Swank wore united in marriage. The guests were

prompt, in assembling and at a few minutes later than half past seven o’clock, to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march played by’ Miss Ida Beach, the bridal party’ entered, preceded by the ushers, the Misses Forest McConnell and Lulu Nichols, who were dressed in white, with veils, wreaths and baskets of (lowers which they strewed in front of the bride and groom as they' walKed up the aisle and toox their places in front of the pulpit. Miss Ada SwanK, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Klinger, of Plymouth, as best man. The bride was beautifully attired in pale blue satin elaborately trimmed in cream colored lace, while the bridesmaid wore a becoming costume of cream colored satin trimmed in lace of the K»me shade. Both costumes were made decollette. The gentlemen wore dressed in well fitting suits of black. The church was tastefully decorated with blooming plants and out flowers, and the bridal party stood beneath a wedding bell made entirely of white flowers. Bov. Bell, former pastor of the United Brethren church at this place, performed the impressive cere- . mony. after whiel* the happy couple left the church. Rev. Bell then disI missed the remaining congregation. The young couple are well known ; here, the bride having lived here all ’ her life, while the groom’s homo has । always been with his parents on their pleasant farm three miles east of town. ) For the past few months ho has occupied the position of Teller in the Naj tional BanK at Plymouth, where they 5 will no doubt, maxo their home. Mr. 3 and Mrs. Turner begin life together ' with the well wishes of many' friends and acquaintances.

The Irons Duke to his Soldiers. “Do your duty,” were tho words of ' Lord Wellington to his soldiers just before the battle of Waterloo and history tells us how well they obeyed. Tho , same advice might properly be given to every living man at this time. There are many men who would do their whole duty in 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 love 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 fami- । ly in six are provided with medicines that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is the duty of every man to look af- ’ ter 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 wo refer to is Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is certain cure for cramps, colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea, bloody flux, cholera infantum, and bowel complaint in all its forms. No family can afford to bo without it during the summer months as great suffering and even life may be saved by it before a physician could bo summoned or medicine procured. Do not delay, but procure it at once, before it is forgotten. For sale by J. F. Reid. ISiicklcir* Arnica Salve.
