New sidewalk has been put down in front of several lots on Avenue F during the past few days. The time allowed by the ordinance has about expired. Delinquents would better spur up.

They can’t hold out very long, however. _ A subscription paper was circulated for the purpose of obtaining money to repair the damage done by lightning to the residence of Widows Meade and Ross.

( There is so much building, repairing and painting going on in Walkerton this year that even the postmaster has to turn out and paint. What do you think of that! In order to inform persons not catching lorn Dougherty at it, what the matter is with the front of of his white brick store building, this paper rises to say that he penciled it. Mr. Hollyday has suspended operations with his saw-mill at this place and says he has thrown the belt for the last time in Walkerton. The mill will be moved to Knox soon.

Lightning struck the residence of M idows Meade and Ross, Wednesday night, and tore a portion of the roof off and completely demolished the chimney. The wonder is that no member of either family was hurt, Noah Shoemaker talks of starting up his machinery at the old slat factory.

Adam Baugher has opened up a wagon and repair shop at tho old Burger stand, and is ready to do all kinds of work pertaining to that lino. Adam is known to bo an excellent workman, and persons needing work in his lino need have no fears in entrusting him with the same. A noser for news for this circulating medium called upon Mr. H. Nelson, our now' banker, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the business of the Commercial Bank of Walkerton, was equal to that represented to him when he took possession. Let it be distinctly understood, however, that this paper does not doubt in the least the honesty and truthfulness of Banker Nelson’s predecessor—-but business is business, to the truth of which exBanker McConnell will testify. Banker Nelson states that the business of the bank figures above that represented and surpasses his expectations, and appears to be well pleased with his new location and the business here. Judge Nelson Prentice, of Albion, an uncle of Rev. Prentice, of this place, anil an old acquaintance of the writer, a 1 per announcement delivered two lectures last Sunday at the Presbyterian church in this place, one on Temperance at 10:30 o’clock a. m., and at 8 o’clock in the evening on Pioneer Life in Indiana. Good sized audiences listened attentively to the Pioneer and appeared to be highly interested in his remarks. The Judge is almost eighty years of age and has spent the greater portion of his life in Noble county, Ind. His experience in the early days of bramble bush and Indians and wild animals, corn bread and rabbits as the principal food of the Pioneers, enables him to tell much of great interest to the rising generation, tho majority of whom would be astonished to hear the Judge tell them that the scattering denizens of this then wild west used to cut a hole in the door of the log hut for the old cat to pass in and out at and a small one for the kittens. Those were the fellows who went fifty miles to mill on horse back with the grist m one end of tho bag and a stone in the other.
