The walls of the large Fulmer brick store building are well nigh upto the top of the first story. Mr. Smith is pushing the work right along.

The time will now soon expire in which your guess on the number of inhabitants in the incorporation is to be handed in. The closest guess, remember, entitles you to a year’s subscriptiou to the Independent. The Nappanee News works body, soul and breeches in the interest of that town. It is i«i excellent journal, and is certainly doing lots of good for that locality. Go in, Brother Murray —j oil'll get your reward, if not here, hereafter. Sam and George McDonald, of near North Liberty, were this week bound over to court for purloining, or in common parlance, stealing chickens, clothing and divers other things. Attorney Daily defended the boys; but the case was a stunner, and Bob Ingersoll himself could not have cleared the boys. Revs. B. H. Beall and O. L. Prentice exchange pulpits Sunday morning and evening, May 4, Rev. Beall preaching in the Presbyterian church and Rev. Prentice goes to Argus. We understand the exchange is an even one and Rev. Prentice says he has cheated Mr. Beall in the exchange but feels no compunction of conscience for it is all hght to cheat a preacher—if you can. The convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, held at Bouth Bend on the 29th and 30th of Jpril was a grand success in every respect. There was a good attendance a nd especially on the evening of the Sold medal contest. The first M. E. church was crowded. In connection ^’ith the speaking there was good music and singing. There seemed to be a general good feeling prevailing through°ut the convention. The different dePartment work was reported satisfactory showing how women can plan and do work systematically.

Nice parlor furniture at Vincent’s store. Fishing tackle of all kinds at T. J. Reece's. Go and see Ross & Bose’s new bug- ■ gies and carts. Those lounges at Ed Vincent’s are nobby goods.

On another page of this paper you will read that the subscription paper for tho purpose of raising money to erect a band stand has been circulated but little and but a small amount of the money raised. Times, tince that was put in print, have changed. The paper has since been pretty thoroughly circulated and the amount quite secured. The Indianapolis Sun will please take notice. “Look before you leap.” Theories are cheap, but a first-class harvesting machine made of good material should be selected even at a slight difference in price. Tho Champion Binder is warranted to have more malleable iron and steel and less cast iron in its construction than any other machine iu the market. The machine is certainly very neat in appearance, and should be seen by farmers who are intending to purchase. Republican Caucus. The, Republicans of this town met in G. A. R. hall, Wednesday night and nominated candidates to fill the incorporation offices the coming term, provided they receive a sufficient number of votes next Monday. Tom Wolfe in the chair, B. E.

The Intermediate and 2nd Primary departments closed yesterday (Friday) and the Ist Primary closes to-day. Question: What will it cost for a ticket for one night of the High school exhibition. Answer, 25 cents, but it would pay you better to get a ticket for both nights, for 40 cents. Ten cents reduction, you see. Our citizens were handsomely regaled with a copious flow of expletives on the sidewalk last Wednesday. A couple of gentlemen (?) had the floor at the same time, one of whom spoke loud and long and in the choicest (?) and most unmistakable terms. The right real lively runaway of Ed Henderson’s team, however, interrupted the speakers by attracting the large audience to the greater scene of curiosity aud excitement. Had it not been for the great tumult and uproar caused by the timeous occurrence in another portion of the now wild and excited town, which drew the plebeians hence, we rise to state that, large hummocks and rivers of gore, in all probability, would have strewn the streets of our beautiful town promiscuously round about.

Sunday was a bright, sunny day, but somewhat raw ami chilly, with no transactions in marsh hay. Monday was a bright, warm, sunny day up to about 3 o'clock, when it became cloudy. The town was filled with people and teams nearly all day, and business transactions were lively. Heavy lots of marsh hay moved briskly, but prices ruled low. Tuesday was a blue day. It was cloudy and cold, and overcoats were almost indispensable. The “noversweats” were conspicuously absent and the store boxes and hitching racks were therefore given a rest. Business circles quiet. Small lots of marsh hay moved sluggishly and at discouraging rates. Wednesday was a bright, warm, sunny day, with a fair sprinkling of people in town. Reports from the huckleberry marsh came in quite favorable. Marsh hay a little stiffer. We saw some samples at any rate that were quite stiff. Frog hams were scarce aud ruled high. Several of our dealers ordered large lots from headquarters in that traffic—Macy and Mentone, both peart little Hoosier burgs, whose inhabitants pride themselves on their staple industry, that of frog culture. On Thursday the sun shone brightly the live long day, with the air a little chilly. There was a fair country representation on the streets most of the day. Exchange, light. No plain or fancy drunks, that we saw. Ono carload of frog hams arrived promptly from Macy, Ind. Friday, up to the time of going to press, the weather is beautiful. Everybody appears to be cheerful and in the best of spirits, and some with the poorest of spirits in them. Bets are freely offered on the Democratic candidate for town treasurer. None taken. Brother Barnhart, editor of that excellent paper, the Rochester Sentinel, has his trials and tribulations. Besides complaining of an epidemic of measles prevailing in that town, he laments as follows: “Our glorious country seems to be doomed to dreariness and desolation. Adalina Patti waived her last (?) farewell from a Liverpool steamer last week, and Mary Anderson announces her contract for an early matrimonial alliance and immediate retirement from the stage. Good bye old girls. We love you with a passion as penetrating as the odor of a winter onion, but to us you are lost, lost, lost.” lOarvcst Exclusions. The Lake Erie & Western R. R. (Natural Gas Route,) has arrainged to run a series of five grand Harvest and Hoipe Seekers’ Excursions, on April 22, May 20, September 9 and 23, and October 14, 1890, at the unprecedented lowrate of one fare for the round trip to points in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South and North Dakota, lowa, Minnesota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Georgia.
