A magnit! -ent imported English shire horse was taken through this place on Tuesday over the L. E. & W. railroad bound for a LaPorte county stock farm. The horse weighed about 1800 pounds, its tail touched the ground, the main came nearly to its feet and the foretop measured three feet seven inches in length. On Monday, Jan. 4, Mr. Ed Grider retired fro,m the firm of Brubaker A Grider, and his successor, Mr. Henry Hudelmyer, took his place as a member of the firm of Brubaker & Hudelmyer. Mr. Grider retires from this old i and reliable firm with the good will of the public and a record as an honorable, straightforward business man-of which he may well be proud. Mr. Hudelmyer, the in-coming partner, needs no introduction to the citizens of Walkerton, all of whom have known him long and well as an honorable gentleman in every sense of the word. May the firm of Brubaker & Hudelmyer continue to grow and prosper. A gentleman connected with the “Three I” railroad was in this place one night last week, putting up at the Florence hotel. He was the right of way agent for the above, road, and was getting the lay of the land along the line of the proposed extension of the Three I road. He asserted that the road would be extended during the coming summer without a doubt, and that the line as now proposed would run from Knox, the present terminus, through Hamlet, Walkerton, Crum’s Point and into Michigan, their aim being to tap the pine region in the northern part of that state. He stated that the line would cross the junction of the B. & O. & L. E. & W. roads at this place passing through Benton Bulla’s farm about two miles west of North Liberty and on to Crum’s Point, missing South Bend altogether, which point it has always been supposed the road would strike. The gentleman had a survey map with him and was undoubtedly out for business.

Ihe LaPorte Argus of last week formally presents the name of its fel-low-townsman, Hon. Mortimer Nye, as a democratic candidate for governor. The announcement is accompanied with an excellent likeness of Mr. Nye.

The ringing of the church bells on Thursday night of last week announcing the advent of the New Year arroused many of our citizens from their slumbers, some of them thinking that it was an alarm of fire. Several people even went so far as to dress and rush up town expecting to see a firstclass conflagration. The sad news reached here Thursday that the wife of Mr. Sehuvler Fulmer, of Elkhart, was dead. The remains will be brought to this place Monday for burial. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church, at about 10 a. m. Thia is a crushing blow to the husband and three little children who are left to mourn for her, and the sympathy of many friends here will be with them in their affliction.

William Pool, of South Chicago, was a guest of his son Charlie, of this place, on Friday and Saturday of last week. Mr. Pool has a warm spot in his heart for 'Walkerton, having been a citizen of this place for nearly twenty-five years and identified with the early interests of the town. He landed here in 1861 with twenty dollars in his pocket and by hard work and economy he grew and prospered and became one of Walkerton’s most successful business men. When he came here the town was almost in the woods and real estate could be bought for a song, as you may imagine from the fact that he paid $32 for a business lot then that could not now probably be bought for SI,OOO. Lumber was also dirt cheap. He bought two lots and put up a neat little residence all for $l5O. The property is worth to-day not less than S7OO or SBOO. Mr. Pool could not help but remark the change that has taken place in Walkerton since he landed here. To-day fine brick blocks proudly stand where then were only insignificant frame structures or perhaps the barren ground. Mr. Pool says there are only two men residing in Walkerton to-day that were here when he came. Those two men are C. W. N. Stephens and Osborn Aikens.

What Love Will Do. The following from an exchange reads like some of the startling situations to be found in modern dime novel literature: “George Harrington, of Knox, Starke county, was recently convicted for impersonating a federal officer and was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment. His case is a peculiar one. He was in love with a girl named Dora Summers, but she did not reciprocate his affections. To compel her to marry him he impersonated a government detective, arrested her on the charge of counterfeiting and then offered to save her from prosecution upon the condition that she accept. The girl had done nothing wrong and ignorant of even the nature of the charge against her, but was so frightened that she agreed to marry him. Before the day for the wedding rolled around the girl exposed the scheme to compel her marriage to Harrington and his arrest followed.

Mrs. J. F. Endley. An Obstinate Woman. There is a tradition of a Gloucestershire scold whose obstinate disposition defied the ducking stool, says the National lit: vino. After the first “sousing” in the village horse pond her husband exclaimed: “Molly! Molly! Wool thee promise 1 never to scold at I again? ’ As soon as Molly recovered her breath she replied in a thundering voice of moroseness: “No,I won’t doo nothing o’ th’ zort!” Molly had another souse, and the husband met with the same acrimonious response to his anxious interrogation. The sousing was repeated, but Molly continued to be obdurate and contumacious. “You may drown I,” shouted Molly, “but I woo! never give in.” They did not run the risk of drowning Molly, but released her, for the husband was convinced that she would •■rattier drown than refuse'to wag her red rag at un” whenever she felt inclined to do so. It did not cure Molly. She became as great a scold as ever she had been before her public “sousing.” Some years after that critical punishment the lord of the manor met John at a court leet and inquired: “Well, John, how does Molly get on now with her scolding?” “Oh, squire, her be pretty nearly cured on’t.” ‘•Did the ducking stool do that business?” “Oh, no. I let her jaw on as long ■as her liked. I ged her no back answers. I zot quiet and blowed me bacca, and her soon dropt her scolding । and be now as good a woman as they । be made.”
