There are no saloons at the huckleberry marsh this year, if reports are true. There are thirty-three patent medicine concerns in South Bend, our county seat! Webster’s unabridged dictionary, cloth binding, $2.50 each, at the Independent store. Great bargain, Men and women are making from one dollar and fifty cents to upward of three dollars per day picking huckleberries. The inhabitants of Macy, Ind., we presume, will be bunched and thrown in with the enumeration of the town ship for chinking. Knox, it is said, is claiming about thirteen hundred inhabitants. It should be limited in its count to the incorporation, same as other towns. When the editor can think of it we expect to see the Macy Monitor swell up and claim anyhow three hundred and fifty inhabitants for that suburb. J. Endly, the druggist, has just received the largest and finest stock of perfumes, notions and n usical instruments ever before seen in Walkerton. The subject at tho Presbyterian church Sunday evening, July 13, will be “Music,’’and the orchestra will be present to furnish the audience a treat in that line. At P. C. Woodworth’s store you will always find anything you want in the line of canned goods and family groceries. An excellent line of boots and shoes always in stock. Jacob Rinehart, last Tuesday morning, brought the first load of new wheat to town, for which ho realized 80 cents per bushel. July Bth is an early date on which to market new wheat. On Sunday evening at the M. E. church the congregation were entertained by a song service consisting of solos, quartettes, recitations, etc. The pleasant diversion was enjoyed by all. A row r of buildings were recently destroyed by fire in Butler, this state. Those losing buildings are R. M. Haskins, C. H. Thurstin, W. W. Tomlinson, Dora Hirschler and Gabe Strauss. This circulating medium rises to state that E. Leibole, one of Walkerton’s principal contractors and builders, does tho wood act on the 38 x 40 addition to the "Walkerton brick schoolhouse. It is astonishing, now while the ten foot cement walk is being put down in front of the Fry-Dougherty, eighty-two foot front, white brick business building, to see how many there are who know all about the business. Indeed, to hear them talk, the majority are experts. Dollars to dimes that there is not another town for miles and miles around with a population of not more than eleven hundred that has as many nice large brick business rooms as Walkererton has. There are now sixteen brick business rooms in town, varying from 20 to 35 feet in width, and from 60 to 90 feet long.

Atwood will hereafter put down cement walks for anvone desir”>g him to do so. He received instructions from a South Bend gentleman and feels confident that he can give perfect satisfaction. The cement walk is the walk to place in front of residences. Things aro sudden this year. Harvest began June 26th; pickles were brought to the factory July Bth; new wheat was marketed July Bth; the huckleberry rush began five or six days earlier than usual, and corn is much farther advanced than is common in this section. James R. Johnson died at his residence near Hamlet, Stark county, July 2. He was born in Montgomery county, Ohio. December 21, 1811. The funeral took place at the family residence July 4, Rev. Mathews, of this place, officiating. He was an old resident of that locality. When Agent Frank Quirk returned to the depot Wednesday night at 10 o’clock after atttending to his official duties as town clerk at the board meeting, he found a supposed burglar in the waiting room with the door baricaded with a heavy trunk. Frank run across the street for help during which time the burglar made his escape. The same trick for gaining entrance was practiced that was done a short tim e ago, an account of which appeared in this paper, viz., that of removing a pane of glass. Frank will endeavor to put a tin ear on the next gentleman who assumes to run that office. The Fourth at Knox passed off quietly and without anything of a startling nature transpiring. It was a delightful day, neither too hot nor too cold, but just right. The celebration was a very tame affair and consisted in reading the Declaration of Independence, in the forenoon, by Miss Lou Tucker, followed by the races, etc., on the street, and in the afternoon, a fine address by Rev. Campbell, the band interspersing tbe whole with their excellent music. The principsl feature of the afternoon was the base ball game between Walkerton and Knox, which resulted in a complete whitewash for the visitors, the score standing 21 to nothing in favor of Knox.—Stark County Republican. Our boys are laying for bigger money. Look out for them, they’re slick. The Walkerton editor is trying to fix up matters in his town so he can return to his office and get out his paper, but with what success we have not learned. In writing up the description of the collection of plants possessed by a lady of his town, he said: “Airs. H. has the nicest and largest plants in town.” The devil omitted the “1” in the word plants, and when the women’s husband read the item he loaded himself to demolish the editor. The whole town became aroused over the affair and pounced down on the innocent and unsuspecting editor, but he saw them coming, jumped out of the window and took to the huckleberry marsh. He is now trying to negotiate with the town. —Plymouth Republican. We are still in hiding in the great huckleberry marsh, and have sent word to our friends to send us some clothing to wear. We have a hat left. DR. JAQUES’ German worm cakes destroy worms and remove them from the system. Safe, pleasant and effective.

Cohien’s Grand Pavillion Spectacular Uncle Tom’s Cabin Co., exhibited under canvas on Lawton Ave., last evening, to the largest audience that ever greeted any of the many Uncle Tom’s Cabin companies that have visited this place, and a better pleased audience never left a canvas. It was indeed a new version of this time-honored play put on by the most evenly balanced company that has ever visited us. The members of the company are stars from the top to the bottom of the cast. Uncle lorn was most faithfully represented by Wm. E. Downie; Topsy was never acted better than by Miss Kelley; Eva by little Laura Downie, is the dramatic marvel of the ago. For one so young her equal has never appeared. J. E. Kelley, as Legree, is the very impersonation of a human blood-hound and the part could not be better carried. Aunt Ophelia, the Deacon, tbe Quaker and in fact every member of the company deserves special mention, which want of space alone forbids. We must not, however, forget Marks and Cute as played by Porter and Dillon. Mr. Cohien might search the world over, but he could not find better individuals for those very essential and eccentric characters. They are simply immense and to see and hear them is well worth twice the price of admission. The audience was kept in a continual roar from their first appearance to their final act and could not get enough of them, as was manifested by the applause. People who had come to tho belief that there were no more good Uncle Tom shows traveling in these later years have changed their minds since last evening, and all declare Mr. Cohien’s Company the best they have ever seen. Should they ever come here again the canvas will not hold the people.—Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. “Unde Tom’s Cabin,” the production of Harriet Beecher Stowe, which has gained a more wide spread and deserving reputation than any book ever written, has been dramatized to more advantage than any of the novels of this century. For years this picture of. America’s darkest hour has been presented to American audiences with more or less success. It has been left for the Cohien company, who appeared in this city, on Law rence park, last Saturday evening, to give an Adrian audience a proper characterization of this most popular story. Tho company deserve the highest encomiums for their acting, and the scenery, surroundings and every detail gave a picture of magnificence, which pleased the large audience assembled in their pavillion beyond description. We hope to see a return of the company to this city, and they may be assured of a hearty welcome.—Adrian (Mich.) Daily Times. Window poles for 25 cents and brass trimming, at Vincent's furniture store happy hoosiers. Wm. Timmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind-, writes: “Electric Enters has done more for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble.” John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says; “Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man.” J, W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says, Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is always run down and don’t care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life; For sale at J. Endly’s drug store. Furniture of all kinds as low as the lowest. Bedsteads from $2.25 up at Vincent's. Dr. John H.
