A South Bend man named Edward I Extel recently drew six hundred doli lars in the Louisiana lottery-. Now let i everybody in Walkerton take a ticket. Dr. M- F.

There will be a brick building, 40x70, : two stories high, pop up like a mushi room, as soon as spring opens. It will pop up in the thicket. Dr. Reece reports Theron Wolfe, an account of whose injuries was given in these columns last week, as doing as well as can be hoped for under the ! circumstances. It wasn’t Governor Hovey perambui luting our streets the other day—but whoever it was looked a mighty sight I like him, i. e., his hat looked like the Governor’s old one. Dr. Grimes moved his office into the . Rensberger building this week, occupy- ■ ing the rooms recently vacated by the : Cornet Band boys, and formerly the Independent office. We would like to see their royal nibs, the members of the town board, armed ■with an ad quod damnum, that they might inquire whether or not the grant of right of way to the north and south railroad through this town was a damage to the citizens thereof. An editor in protesting against the habit, of swearing, reserves the right for I printing offices. It is useful in proof- ! reading and indispeasible in getting forms to press, and has also been known ; to assist when looking over the paper after it is printed, but otherwise it is a very disgusting habit. And how it swings into line when you ■ come to look over the delinquent sub- ' scribers’ list! Patrick Fitzgerald tells us that serI vices which were to have been held at the Catholic church next Sunday have necessarily been postponed until the second Sunday in December, on account : of the repairs now being put upon the j churph building not being completed. I Mr. Leibole, who is doing the job, was j unable to procure sufficient help to j complete it for use on the regular date i for services. Bose Brothers’ meat market is still , the headquarters for all kinds of fresh and salted meats, sausages, bologna, I Frankfort sausages, head - cheese, smoked hams, dressed chickens, and corned beef. We propose to do you good by furnishing you with good, sweet meats, an I at the lowest prices possible for first-class goi ’s. Cail in as you pass by, Select a boil, a roast or fry— Always plenty on the hooks and blocks, And people say that that’s what knocks.

O’Brien has a good stove : suitable either for coal or wood, which she will sell cheap. If the weather turns cold you will 1 want some of those comforters at Ed Vincent's store. Dr. Richmond, the ever faithful scribe, has an interesting religious article iu this issue again. Evansville, Ind., was flooded last week with counterfeit two dollar bills. Look out, the spurious may migrate in this direction. Mrs. Smith received another lot of fine new millinery goods this week, consisting of velvets, trimmings and stylish shapes in frames.

On the evening of the same day there will be union prayer meeting held at the U. B. church, to which a general invitation is extended. It’s just fun enough to read the New Albany Tribune, General Packard’s paper. The General is an enthusiastic Republican, a keen, spicy writer, sees a point quick as flash, and punches up his Democratic brothers of the press in a real laughable manner and after the most approved style. General, send us your paper another year. A pleasant little dancing party was held at the residence of Mrs. Quirk last Tuesday night. It is said that there was a snug little attendance and all present are reported as having enjoyed themselves very much. Frank Arlington’s Quadrille Band furnished the music for the occasion, which was highly complimented upon by those present. Lawwer Dailey believes that an ordinance will have to be passed by the town council before the latke Erie Company can be forced to sidewalk their grounds. The council should investigate the matter, and should it be found necessary, an ordinance should be passed at once and the company politely invited to put down sidewalks ardund their premises, same as common folks. We do not offt r the above suggestions in a dictatorial spirit, but believe that tho suggestions will be favored by a majority of our citizens and thereby act as a shoulder to the wheel, as it were, and encourage the honorable board to move briskly in the premises. w rjj - - r EPOCH. Tho transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of tho individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and tho ag- ' ency- whereby the good health has been I attained is gratefully blessed. Hence [ it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they ’ owe their restoration to health to the 3 use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing, you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters, J. Endley’s Drug Store.

He succcedi d in purchasing one of approved pattern, and, it is said, they are living happily together. Girls, money talks. Rev. Mathews circulated a paper last Thursday, requesting all business men of the town to sign an agreement to close their places of business Thursday, Mov. 28, Thanksgiving day. The Reverend gentleman wishes the Independent to say that all business men in town signed the document, with one exception. • ‘ This paper seldom comments upon tho weather, knowing that its readers know as much about it as it does. We are constrained, however, to say that the past week has been a nasty one so far as the weather was eoncerod. But the piles of new goods just received at the Independent store have no element of nastiness about them. For the benefit of the Macy Monitor man, we will just state that several journals in the West uro reproducing the relizious articles written by Dr. Richmond for this paper; chief union? them being the Stanberry (Mo.) Advocate, a religious paper of consider able note. The Monitor would better look after religious matters a little. Andrew' Cunningham lias now fully decided to put up a store building on the burnt district. Preparations are now being made in the way ( f gathering material, lumber, etc. The dimensions are to be 20 x GO, possibly 20 x 80, The frame will be up in a very few days, if the weather will permit. You let a town get such a start as Walkerton now has and nothing short of a lire and high water will impede its rise and propress. Cold, bad weather out's but little figure. Tho Independent, publKhod in our town by Will Endley, could not have heard anything of tho election news in Ohio, lowa and other states, as he whimpered not one word through his paper, which is supported by .Democrats as well as Republicans. Had everything gone the reverse, he would have had plenty of space to give his readers the returns. — Walkerton Correspondent South Bend Times. Whoever wrote the above paragraph doos not treat the Independent fairly and, wo are led to believe, is no’friend of it. Will the correspondent, A. D., produce a copy of the Independent that will bear him out in his assertion, or rather, insinuation, namely, that the Independent loans Republican - ward We defy him to do it! The editor of the Independent was absent during the week of the elections, returning not in time to say a word concerning them. But we never fail to give nil nows of any importance, no matter what party for or against. If correspondent A. 1). will now take tho trouble to look up the issue of November b, 1889, and No. 20 of tho Independent, the very issue to which he so unfairly refers as not containing a whimjier concerning the elections, he will find on the first page, right-hand colum, as complete an account of the results of tho elections held in the ten states, as could be given at that date. Therefore the above statement, “as he whimpered not a word through Ids paper", is not true, for it ■ is gvr paper, and we dictate .the char- ’ acter of its contents, If A. D. did not see the reports in the Independent, then there is an excuse for saying “as he w’himpered not one word through ■ his paper.” But there is not a ghost ’ of an excuse or justification for saying > “Had everything gone the reverse, ho i would have had plenty of space to give > his readers the. returns,” because A. 1). ■ has never in the three and one half years >• of the Independent seen a shadow' of I evidence manifested by it to Lear him i out in his unjust insinuation.

PERSONAL ITEMS. 3 Mrs. William Johns was visiting in Chicago a portion ot last week. John Bonder, of Plymouth, was here a few hours last Tuesday on business. ( Airs. Cas well has gone to Madison, Wis., on account of the illness of her sister. Attorney Nicoles made a brief business trip east on the B. & O. last ' Wednesday. 1 W, E. Peterson and family spent last week visiting Mrs. Peterson’s sister, at Walkerton.—Plymouth Republican. Doc. Dowell and family and Tom Dougherty and family made a trip to , South Bend last Saturday by the overland route. Aliases Hattie Pickerl and Claude Hickman, of Argos, visited friends in our town Sunday, being guests of Airs. S. R. Ball. , Harry Renberger, formerly of this place, we notice by an exchange, has gone to Salt Lake City, having accepted a situation in a railroad office. Agent Foster and wife, made a week’s tour through tho states of lowa, Wisconsin and Illinois, visiting several of the more important tow ns as they passed through on their journey. Dr. Arlington, who has been absent for nearly a year, returned home last Thursday. He tells the Independent that he passed the greater portion of the time during his absence in Northern Alabama and Eastern Tennessee. The Doctor will remain here for an indefinite period, during which time he expects to have bis books settled up. Ho tells us that ho has about decided to locate in Eastern Tennessee. Tho climate, he believes, will improve his health, which had been waning for some time prior to his visit South. He reports the above sections of eouutry, and for that matter, almost the entire South, as booming as It never boomed before. Wo have made a special arrangement with the Farmers’ Friend Pub. Co. at South Bend by which we can furnish to all our advance jurying subscribers, free of charge, one year’s subscription to tho Farmers’ Friend, a sixteen-pago Agricultural and Family juijier, published twice a month at fifty cents a year. This is virtually making each of our advance paying subscribers a present of half a dollar. Sample copies cun be seen at this office or will bo sent to any of our subscribers w!k> will write for them to Farmers’ Friend, South Bend, Ind. There is a nasty controversy going on between the Democratic and Rejmbliean new-.paper editors. Tho Democratic papers all except the South Bend Times say that \ iee-Prosident Morton ba- become a . dmurk-eper, or its equivalent, and the lb publican papers deny it in the strongest terms. We believe Hint it Inis been proven to be a falsehood. The S. B. Times seemed to doubt the truthfulness of the statement from the beginning and conducted itself strictly in accordance with its honest opinion of the matter. It is one of tho fairest partisan papers published in this section of the country. In our judgement it does not aim to mislead its readers. If you wish to buy your wife something nice for Christmas you can find it at Ed Vincent’s. RHEUMATISM AND DYSPEPSIA CURED Miss Jannetto Day used several bottles of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup and found almost instand relief, I have received greater benefit from the use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup for dyspepsia, than any medicine lever used. Alany of my acquaintances have used it and nil speak of it in the highest terms. Aliss Emily A. Day. We certify to the above testimonials.

Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, 1 first symptoms, treatment and how to i prevent it, is the object of this article. ■ Tho origin of croup is a common cold, children that are subject to it ’ take cold very easily and croup is al- ’ most sure to follow. The first symp- * tom of croup is hoarseness, it is a j»eculiur hoarseness, easily recognized ( and once hoard always remembered. „ Usually a day or two before the. attack, ‘ the child becomes hoarse and gradu i ally shows symptoms of having taken cold, and this is where the mistake is usually made, the mother thinking her child has just taken cold gives it no j especial attention until awakened in . tho night by the violent coughing of I tho child, finds it has the croup and j remembers it has had a cohl or bet n । bourse lor a day or two. Such eircum- , stances often occur, and in many eases the mother has nothing in tho house ■ that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a jihysician or drug store. You can well imagine the situation and ’ her distress. The time to act is when J the < hild first becomes htiurso or shows . symptoms of having taken cold: if < Chamberlain’s Cough Hmm-Ry is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and all danger 1 be avoided.

Gents: In December, 1887, I began using Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup for intlamatory rheumatism, from which I have been a great sufferer. I used the Syrup and plasters, applying the latter to tho parts affected also to the bottom of my feet. The syrup relieved me from the first, and, in March, 1888, discontinued its use, being entirely well. From a personal knowledge of this and other similar cures affected by Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup I unhesitatingly recommend these remedies for rheumatism and blood diseases. J. S.

Arthur Love, Manager Love’s Funny Folks Combination, writes: "After a thorough trial and convincing evidence, 1 am confident Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption beats ’em all, and cures when everything else fails.
