' George McDonald, formerly of this place, has just reccived a sentence of two years in the pen for stealing chickens and some clothing from Dr. O’Conner, of near North Liberty. Nearly everybody in this place knows George, | all the way from a few pennies up to several dollars worth. The South Bend Tribune says that he does mnot bear a very good name. Well, the Tribune is older than we are. and on account of its age, we will not dispute its statement. " The little girls of Walkerton, who were in the habit of riding ponies up and down the streets in so reckless and dangerous a manner, got mad at the IN- | pEpENDENT and have quit it.

Had it not been for the timely warning given them by this paper we are morally certain that they would have furnished subject matter | for us.

HoLLYDAY, Fred Schultz, the old, reliable well driver, seems to Le having plenty of business in his line at present. Those wishing wells put down in good shape will do well to secure his services. A burglar entered the passenger office at the Lake Erie depot, Tuesday night, and stole about two dollars. He effected entrance by removing a pane of glass. reaching in and raising the window.

A Knights of Pythias lodge has been organized in this place, with a membership of twenty-three, at this writing. Arrangements have been made for securing a charter and the lodge will be instituted about July 2. The new organization starts out under most favorable aunspices, and the members all seem to be energetic and taking a deep interest in the enterprise. The Bremen Banner, a sprightly little paper just started in the above named town, snaps back at the Plymonth Democrat in approved style in resenting a stem-winder that the Democrat hit it after its first issue. 'The Democrat is up to such tricks and should be punished by confinement for a term of ten minutes in some meat market when they are rendering lard. Joseph T. Fitzgerald and Miss Eva Platts, all of this place, were united in marriage at the Catholie church, Wednesday morning, at precisely 8 o'clock, l I'ather Kroll, of Chesterton, pronouncing the ceremony, which is said to have been very impressive. Maurice I'itzl eerald, brother of the groom, and a Miss Brown, of Chesterton, stood up with the contracting parties during the ceremony. The relatives of this place and vicinity were all present, and so were many of the citizens. Mr, Fitzgerald and wife left shortly after their marringe for Lima, Ohio, where they will visit a sister of the former, remaining there from a week to ten days. The newly married couple have the nearty congratulations of the INDEPENDENT, Attention Farmers. We noticed an article in the Tribune that the Champion Co., or Warden Bushnell & Glessner Co., had bought out the Whiteley Co., and that they were the sole manufacturers of the Champion machines. That part is true; but when they say the Whitley’s are not making any machines, thatis untrue. Our factory is running at full capacity and turning out a machine every two and a half minutes or in other words 150 machines per day and the Best Machines on Earth. Our competitors know this to be true and thoy are in the last diteh with their old ‘‘boxed” up, out of date machines. They must resort to all manner of falsehood in order to peddle off their old stuff to the farmers, No intelligent farmer should give his order for a binder or mower until he has seen and examined the Whitely machines. They are sold with the best of guarantee and warranted for two seasons and as cheap as any 1890 binder or mower. When all others failed in the heavy and tangled grain of 1889 the Whitley solid steel binder went throngh surprising the oldest farmers of Marshall Co., Madison tp., of St. Joe Co., and of Laporte Co., Ind. These machines are the lightest draft, the most simple in construction and the most perfect balanced binder and mower on earth. Avos WHITELY & Co. Springfield, Ohio. Jacob Fries, Jr., Spec. Agt.
