This is earlier, Mr. Wolfe says, than he ever baled bay before. Reports come from all directions, and more too, to the effect that the dry weather has seriously damaged the potato crop.

The Indiana State troops will hold ieir annual encampment at South Bend, August 4th to 9th, inclusive. Ihere will be present about two thousand men and officers. On Thursday Governor Hovey and Staff will review, both in their camp and city. You can make a profitable visit to South Bend on that occasion. Go! Ihe reason Ed. Vincent sells furniture cheaper than the dealers in larger places is, that ho has no rents to pay, pays spot cash Jfor his goods, and has no exorbitant expenses to meet, as is the case with deniers in larger places. He is anxious for you to call and compare his prices with those of other and more pretentious towns. In another item in this paper we have virtually winked at the recent slaughter of dogs in this place, and indirectly encouraged its vigorous prosecution. Now, however, we take it all back. Dogs are profitable, and we therefore recommend that dog raisers give tho business their undivided attention. Trustee Ross had on hand, March Ist, ’9O, a surplus of dog money, $49.50. Such amounts are no small factors in aiding the worthy indigent of the township. By all means push dog culture. The first public meeting of the W. C. T. U. of Walkerton was held at the M. E. church last Sunday evening, with a large attendance. The welcome address was made by Fay Fulmer, which was very creditable to the little lady. Mrs. Ella Moore, of Lakeville, followed with an interesting and able address on the objects and benefits of the W. C. T. U; solo, Vesta Leibole; recitation, Hattie H stetter; select reading, Mrs. 8. C. Fulmer; singing, by quartette; recitation, Carrie Robbins; scripture lessons by President. The above program was interesting and well rendered throughout. An Old Citizen Gone. At his home in Walkerton, July 26th, 1890, James H. Crosby passed away after months, —yes years of suffering. He was born July 29th, 1819, in the state of Maine, being at the time of his death 70 years, 11 months and 27 days old. In the year 1810 he was married to Marie Eliza Kellogg who now survives him. Three children blessed their union of whom two are now living, Mrs. Martin Wolfe, and Mrs. Rea, of South Bend. Ilie deceased was a pioneer and a well known and respected citizen. During many years he was ailing with a complication of dieases, yet he was a patient suiierer. The funeral services were from the home, at 3 o’clock on Monday. Rev. Matheus officiating. There are something like fifty merchants and business men in town having places of business liable to be robbed by burglars prowling about for that purpose. Now there is scarcely one of these institutions but than can well afford to pay a dollar a month, or even more, for the purpose of securing the services of a trusty and efficient nightwatch. Fifty dollars a month would amply pay a good one, and the business institutions of the town might arrange a sort of an ad valorem amount for each to pay, and thus make burglaries in Walkerton a thing of the past. Twelve to twenty-four dollars a year would be an insignificant sum to pay as compared with the losses by burglaries and by fires, etcetera. Why don’t you business men have some snap and get a move> on you and arrange for a night watch, that you may thus bo enabled to repair to your virtuous couches, get your much needed rest, and live ten to twenty years longer. j

Tlic Catholic Picnic. Our Catholic friends know no such a thing as failure, no matter if obstacles pile up mountain high. Their annual picnic was a brilliant success, financially and otherwise. Tho day was quite favorable, barring the fact that it was a trifle warm. It was a very busy time with the farming class of the community, and it was feared, during the forepart of the day, that on that account this years’ effort might turn out a little slim. Not so, however, and as we have remarked above, the picnic was a brilliant success. At 2 o’clock promptly the Walkerton Cornet Band* marched to the B. &O. grove, where the drawing was to take place and the sumptuous dinner to be served and the famous base ball game was in progress. Ihe drawing and other performances over with, to the full and complete satisfaction of everybody but tho Walkerton nine and the writer, whom Jerry Fogerty promised should draw tho whole picnic if he purchased a ticket, but who drew a fine large blank only, the vast numbers marched back to town, a great many of whom took part in the dance given at Bender’s Hall, which was largely attended, and by as civil a gathering as wo ever saw at such a place. Tho receipts were in tho neighborhood of two hundred and thir-ty-eight dollars. The music, furnished by Pool’s Orchestra, was all that mortal man—which includes woman—of course, could have wished for. Glass fruit jars only 90 cents a dozen at P, C. Woodworth’s. DEATH OF WASHINGTON COLE. Washington Cole, formerly of Grovertown, but who for many years lived at North Liberty, died at bis home on Saturday last and was buried Monday forenoon at 11 o’clock, July 28. He had attained the ago of 65 years, and had been gradually failing with consumption for about ono year. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church iu LaPorte. He was born in Tompkins Co., New York, and when 19 years old moved with his parents to Laporte county, and lived there about 30 years. For the past 16 years has been a resident of North Liberty. He was a man of industry and integrity, and enjoyed tho confidence and respect of all who knew him. In his family relations Mr. Cole was the kindest of husbands and fathers. Ho leaves a wife and 5 children to mourn his loss. They are Mr. Columbus Co , of LaPorte; Mr. William and Jacob Cole, who work in Chicago; Misses Huldah and Mamie Cole. Democratic Meeting. There will be a township Democratic meeting held in Bender's Hall, Tuesday evening, for the purpose of selecting delegates to tho state, congressional and judicial convention; also for the purpose of selecting central committee. Every voter in tho township wishing to affiliate with the party, is hereby earnestly requested to be present. Work to commence at 8 o’clock sharp. “An open confession is good for tho soul." The Monitor is not like George Washington, who could not lie. This paper can lie; but won’t. The population of Macy will not reach 1,000 It won’t reach 900, but will rub it close. Will this statement be satisfactory to Endley of the Walkerton Independent.—Macy Monitor. If it is as near the truth as your natural inclinations will permit you to arrive, yes. Republican Meeting. A meeting of the Republicans of Lincoln township will be held in Bender s hall Monday evening, for the purpose of selecting central committeemen and a chairman for same, Every voter in the township wishing to affiliate with the party is hereby earnestly requested to be present. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. It will be gratifying to all who realize the vital uecessity of purifying the blood, to know that Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup can be relied upon as a blood medicine. Mr. B. C. Robinson, of Marshall, Mich:, says: Gentlemen I have saffered intensely from biliousness and rheumatism for over three years, and had tried s® many reme dies that I had lost all faith. Hearing of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup I bought a bottle and found it helped me- I have now used four bottles, and it has restored my liver and kidneys to healthy action, and done more to purify my blood than anything I have ever taken. lam pleased to recommend it as a wonderful blood medicine. Very truly yours. B. C. Robinson, Marshall, Mich. Sold bv J. Endly. Prepared only by the Chas. Wright Medicine Company, Detroit, Mich.

“ I was for many years a perfect martyr to Headache and Dyspepsia, and sometimes thought it would kill me. After trying many remedies, and finding them of no account, I concluded to try Simmons Liver Regulator, and I am now and have been for fifteen years a stranger to a headache. I can recommend the Regulator, for it is no humbug.” —B. I. Dodd, Putnam Co., Ga “I have suffered for five years with the Sick Headache, and find it is the only thing that will give mo relief.”—W. J. Alston, Arkadelphia, Ark “I use Simmons Liver Regulator when troubled with Headache. It produces a favorable result without hindering my pursuits in business. I regard it as a ready prescription for Disordered f Liver.”—W. W. Witmer, Des Moines, lowa.
