Dr. Charlie’s programme for New Years day, aS announced in pup last issue, drey an immense crowd to town on that occasion, notwithstanding, the day was a very disagreeable one.

But baloons even pan not prevail against the elements.

He s^y^ that Argos is an enterprising and pleasant town to live in, and that tho citizens are in the main sociable, friendly and generous. The meat firm of Beall and Granger presented their customers with something substantial, something calculated to stick to the ribs, so to speak, as holiday gifts, consisting of a very fine roast taken from the nine hundred pound yearling of which we made mention in the last issue of this paper. Rev. B. H. Beall, of Argos, during his visit here with relatives, was attaked quite severely with influenza.

An editor thinks that some of the reasons why women never get baldheaded are that they never go waltzing about town in their shirt SjJ^eves with a cigar in their mouth, and that they never go fishing gud lay out in the night with a bottle in their hip pocket, and that they never yank off their coat, spit on their hands, and swear that they can lick any man in town. Here js a pointer to drivers on the roadways: The law' provides that if a man wants to go faster than another one ahead of him on the road he is going he has a right to pass, and if he is prevented by the other, and an accident should happen thereby, the man thus obstructing the road is responsible for damage done. No man has.a right, however, to infringe upop the rights of others trying to pass.

A trusty fire warden should bo employed by tl)p town for each ward tp look after the town’s interest in that direction. It should be his duty to thoroughly inspect every chimney and stove pipe in his respective ward and force the owners pf any unsafe trap of the kind to make it fire-proof. He should have a reasonable compensation for such services, enough that he might look after the matter at least once a month. If the pastors or deacons or member of the different churches in town will take the to hand in the particulars of their services at their respective place« the Independent will be happy to publish the same each week to the anxious world. Don't keep your light under a bushel, but hand it to the INDEPENDENT and let it shine. We will cheerfully give a whole column to tips । churches, and a columu is worth put . eighty dollars a year. See, how benevolent!

The company offered to lease grounds for the grist mill for , a period of two years without price. Now there’s a chance for Banker 1. W. McConnell to set some more wheels to 1 going. This newspaper prattle about Epidemic Bronchitis, as if it was something terrible ^nd never had been heard of before, makes us tired. It is an essential aud usually mild fever, running a course of from threp to six days and seldom proving fatal, except in the aged and very young, and. indeed, the fatal termination is then duo, in the majority of eases, to some complication. It is characterized by inflammation of the air passages in the lungs and head. The Italians named it influenza. The French call it la grippe. In this conn try it is ^allud epidemic bronchitis!. It prevailed in this section of country quite extensively three years ago, numerous eases of it oecuring in this town, and without any deaths save in a couple of instances in very aged persons, and attended with complications. We hope that this community will not go into ■ fits about it. [ At the semi-annual election of officers of tho Walkerton Cornet Band, Dec. i 31, 1889.

We v/pnt ths old stagers, and what is meant by th^.t jg those who have taken the Independent ever since it has been called such without paying anything on it, to know that if they don’t sooucomejin and pay all or apart qf their account, that we will drop them from the list and leave their aocounts with the justice of the peace for collection. Can’t monkey with you always, npptt have our pay or some of jt, and that before long. What interest is it to us to carry you eterually without some compensation? Ayo don’t have to do it just for ouf health, for that is fairly good. Now remember that this is not intended for a joke simply, but for q sead certainty. You now have fair warning and you’ll have no excuse for growling if you neglect qp great a duty. We have carried about two quires of you fellows now for nearly four years, which amounts to nearly six dollars apiece, aggregating nearly three hundred dollars, upd wo are clear up on our ear phout it.

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, first symptoms, treatment and how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold, children that are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom of croup is hoarseness, it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized and once heard always remembered. Usually a day or two before the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradu ally shows symptoms of having taken cold, and this is where the mistake is usually made, the mother thinking her ehild has just taken cold gives it no especial attention until awakened in tho night by the violent coughing • f tho child, finds it has the croup and jmgtoWbers it has had a cohl or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, ami in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physician or drug store, You can well imagine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the ehild first becomes hoarse or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy js freel} given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and all danger be avoided.
