The New England Supper given by the yomng ladies of the M. E. church in Hudelmyer’s building last Tuesday evening was well patronized and the supper was excellent. The receipts were about eighteen dollars. A discerning exchange remarks: “Always keep an enemy on hand—a brisk, hearty, active enemy. The having of one is proof that you are somebody. Wishy washy, empty, worthless people never have enemies. Men who never move never run against anything; and when a man is thoroughly dead and buried nothing ever runs against him. To be run against is proof of existence and position; to run against something is proof of motion.” We see much controversy by the papers east and north of us, with reference to the completion of the Three I Railroad. The Goshen News wants it brougirt to that city, via Plymouth, Bremen and Napanee, and then continued to Toledo. Now gentlemen the Three I road will go to Walkerton from here, thence to North Liberty, and South Bend. This will be their route unless Plymouth, and other towns along that route will come to the front with plenty of cash and lands for right of way. The road is going to be built, and the work will soon be begun.— Stark County Republican. But hold up, suppose the other route does come to the front with cash and right of way, what will Walkerton and North Liberty be doing all this time? The latter is the route, and the Three E-y-e road will come our way.

Beall, father of the groom, Allen M. Beall and Eva E. Lontz. They are a worthy young couple and will enter upon their new life with the good wishes of many friends. The groom will take charge of his father’s farm, located near this place. Robert Edward Dare, son of John and Mary Dare, of near this place, died from throat trouble Sept. 17, aged 14 years. The funeral was held at the M. E. church in this place on Wednesday at 3 p. m., Rev. Mathews officiating. The remains were conveyed to the Walkerton cemetery where the last sad rites of burial were performed in the presence of a large assembly of mourning friends. The Dwiggins banking syndicate are about to open a branch at Bremen, with Henry G. Hess as cashier. They will commence business about the first of October. This syndicate has already established branches at Rochester, Rensselaer, Walkerton and other towns in northern Indiana.—Argos Reflector. For the names and the places of the eleven branches already started by this company, see the card of the Commercial Bank of Walkerton in the Independent. Married.—Last Satuiday evening at the residence of the bride’s parents, two and a half miles north of Walkerton, Walker Place and Miss Kate Arnold were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Matthews and was witnessed only by the relatives. The arrangements were so quietly planned that it was a complete surprise to every one although their preference for each other's society was well known. Both young people are highly respected, and by their many accomplishments and other virtues hold popular position in the large circle of friends and acquaintances who unite in wishing them much happiness in their new life together. That Mill, We are authorized to say. is a sure thing. The details have all been entered into, papers have been drawn up and there is nothing more to do now but raise the balance of money, one hundred and nineteen dollars. Now is the time for those who have as yet failed to donate to come forward and give their mite. Some of our citizens have even given more than their share, and all those who will be benefitted and who have not given something should do so at once. Almost any one owning a house and lot in town can well afford to give five dollars and upwards according to value. Gentlemen, don’t be small potatoes, and permit others to do all, knowing that you will be benefitted equally with them. A FREAK OF NATURE. This paper got an inkling the other day to the effect that the Cornet band boys were going to give the editor a benefit in the night time. It had been the custom of our people to do the fair thing with the boys on such occasions, and so we skirmished around and induced a saloon keeper to permit us to stand him off for a goodly quantity of beer with which to prove to the boys our heartfelt gratitude for their favor. The dulcet, melodious, harmonious, mellifluous, quasi celestial strains emanating from those silver plated instruments (some of them manufactured by C. L. Conn, of Elkart, Ind. ) and floating proudly away upon the gentle breeze of that beautiful moonlight night were soul-stirring, to say the least. The boys finished and were invited in and our little bar with its glittering mugs and the numerous bottles of Export—the same for which we had stood the saloon man off—tastily arranged met their longing glances. But the boys had taken an iron-clad oath to . touch not the ardent until a later hour on in the night time. But a still more ' cogent reason for refusing the frothy invigorator was that a penalty of $5 attached to a violation of the oath. One of the sympathetic members, however, j looked longingly at the snug little bar I and suggested that the oath be violated I in just this one instance. But the boys ? did resist the temptation —and we are s compelled to repeat the head line of this squib: “A Freak of Nature."

By request we publish below an obituary taken from the Columbia City Post, the subject of the notice being a brother-in-law of Mrs. L. C. Strang, of this place: “Died, Thomas Estlick, of sciatic rheumatism at his home in Troy township, August 20, 1889, aged 51 years, 1 month and 27 days. The deceased was born June 23. 18,38, and was the first white male child born in Troy township. * * He was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Thompson Aug. 1, 1858, to which union eight children were boru, five of whom survive. Mr. Estlick became a member of the M. E. church in 1867 and remained a constant and useful member until his death. In his death the community loses a good and useful citizen, the church a useful and zealous worker’ whose wise council will greatly be missed.” The B. & O.

He sat in his door at noonday, lonely and glum and sad; the flies were buzzing about him, led by a “blue-winged gad.” Not a customer darkened his portal, not a sign of business was there; but the flies kept on buzzing about the old man's hair. At last in misery he shouted; “Great Scott! I’m covered with flies; ” and the zephyr that toyed with his whiskers said why don’t you advertise ? ” A Safe Investment.

The Iron Duke to hi* Soldiers. “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 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 family in six are provided with medicines that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is the duty of every 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. No one 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 flux, cholera infantum, and bowel complaint in all its forms. No family can afford to be without it during the summer months as great suffering and even life may be saved by it before a physician could be summoned or medicine procured. Do not delay, but procure it at once, before it is forgotten. For sale by J. F Reid. To the Public. Having bought the barber shop of A.
