The pastors of LaPorte county have decided to organize a society to meet at stated times for the discussion of matters of mutual benefit to its members. The new Presbyterian church at Union Mills was dedicated one week ago last Sunday. The building cost - over $5,000. E. Leibole, of this place, was the contractor and builder. The country newspaper business is a hard, thorny jrath to travel, and the 1 troubles of the average rural editor are many and his dollars few. But then, just think or there is in it! ; ' ’ '~''x The K. of P. hall has been newly ^***ercd, re-carpeted and otherwise im- ‘ • 4 / LiWect. noys now have a eon- ‘ ventent and pleasant castle halLin J weekly dancing class at this place are improving wonderfully £ under the excellent instructions of Miss Reeve, of Plymouth.

It was reported about town last Friday that Jacob Farver, of near this place, was dead. The next day, however, Jake was in town and had the pleasure of personally informing his friends that he was far from being dead. He was as well as anybody. The South Bend Daily Post has * changed hands, and the gentlemen who will now steer that craft on the troublous sea of journalism are Messrs. J. W. O’Brannon and G. L. Tufts. The Post has always been a lively, interesting paper, and judging from indications it will continue to be such under the management of its new proprietors. Bev. O. L. Prentice preached Sunday morning and evening at the Presbyterian church. He was greeted on both occasions with large congregations, which evidenced the esteem and respect in which he is held by our citizens as a man and minister. Bev. Prentice always has something to say worth hearing, and his sermons are replete with sound sense and logic. On the subject of good country roads the South Bend Post sensibly says: “One of the most important things for the farmer is the construction and maintenance of good country roads. The railroads spend millions annually upon their railroads for the more economical hauling of freight. Much of this freight is hauled long distances by farmers. They should insist on good roads for purposes of economy. Every road in St. Joseph county should be so perfectly made as to permit the hauling the largest loads of which wagons are capable.” The gossips not content with merely attacking people's reputations have been busy of late killing off some of our citizens. Reports have gained circulation a number of times this winter that certain people were dead who in a few days afterwards were on the streets well and hearty. Os course such reports originate with gossipy persons who are ever anxious and on the alert to find something exciting to talk about. If some people would exercise their brains and muscles more and their tongues Jess this would be a better and pleasanter world in which to live.

Fresh bread daily at the Star bakery. There are twelve divorce suits in court at Plymouth. Charles Sheatsley is on hand to do well driving and all kinds of pump repairing. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adel, who have been quite sick, are reported to be improving. Chesterton has a new paint factory, which turned out its first batch of paint the other day. The LaPorte wheel works, owned by the Niles & Scotteompany, suffered a $50,000 loss by lire recently. T. V. Powderly, the great apostle of labor, will speak some time this month in Michigan City, it is said.

Dan Beall has a new Star wind-mill on his farm. It was erected last Monday, Charles Sheatsley doing the work. The Westville Indicator says that right of way for the Wabash extension is being rapidly bought up in that vicinity. J. M. Daubenspeck, late of Brownsburg, Hendricks county, this state, is the new agent of the L. E. AW. at this place. It is said that J. S. Hatfield, of Warsaw, fought under the Lone Star banner of Gen. Sam Houston for Texas independence. There are two or throe industries knocking at Walkerton’s doors. They are within our grasp. Shall we have them or not? The Woman’s Relief Corps will give a supper on the evening of Feb. 23. Price of supper 15 cents. To Rent.—A good farm, three miles west of town. A good, responsible renter wanted. Call next week at the farm. Fred O. Kraokovicz. Amos T. Stephenson, the driven well man, of South Bend, died last Saturday of paralysis. His age was 81 and he was one of the oldest residents of that city. Mentone has an improvement association, and from readier the Gazette we should judge that'^town is being greatly benefited by th^ assistance of this organization.

If you have a horse, a buggy, a house and lot or any l king else to sell or trade put a line in the Independent telling the people about it. The result will no doubt be gratifying to you. The bible class in the M. E. Sunday school is a large and flourishing one and great interest is being taken in the lessons each Sunday. Quite a number of new members are being added to the class. Rev. Hunt, of Clay county, this state, occupied the pulpit of the U. B. church in this place last Sunday evening. He is said to be quite an interesting speaker. He is a brother of Rev. Mattox’s wife.

T1 e Epworth League has appropriated a sum of money towards purchasing a library for the use of its members. The League is one of oui best and most popular institutions and is accomplishing much good. The Independent is pleased to know that the society is in a flourishing condition. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Goodwillie (the latter formerly Miss Maud Curtis, of this place), died at the home of its parents in South Chicago last Sunday, after an illness of about two days with brain fever. It was a very bright child, aged 2 years, 1 month and 27 days. The remains were brought to this place Tuesday forenoon for burial, being accompanied by Mr. Goodwillie, George Curtis, Mrs. William Covert, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Turton. Mrs. Goodwillie being sick was unable to come with them.

Swindell Bros., of Plymouth, are figuring on moving their Teegarden creamery to this place. They have made a proposition to our citizens, which is, that we donate them the old grist mill property in the southeast part of town. This would be the same as donating S4OO, which is the price asked for the mill. The Swindells are pushing fellows with long and successful experience in the milk and butter business, and should they locate here would undoubtedly make the creamery business in Walkerton a success. A number of our leading citizens have the matter under advisement and will probably arrive at some decision in a few days.

We have received a program for the North township Sunday school convention to be held at the North Salem church near LaPaz, Saturday, Feb. 20. A program of much interest has been arranged for the occasion, but as our columns were so crowded this week could not publish it. Rev. Jacob Rothenberger is present. John RusselJ Winterbotham, son of ex-Senator Winterbotham. of Michigan City, was buried at that place recently. He died of cerebro-spinal diseases in Chicago. He was aged 48 years. He was an able business man and was associated with his father in the management of the latter's large manufacturing and other interests.

A five o'clock tea was given by Miss Loda Brubaker to a party of her friends Thursday evening in honor of Miss Ella Wilcox, of Plymouth. A flue supper was served, and the evening most agreeably spent in social amusements. The guests present were: Miss Ella Wilcox, G. L. Tank, Miss Hattie Hostetter, D. Leibolo, Del Woodard. Miss Edna Nicoles and Elmer Conrad. An exchange says that a man who has taken the bi-chloride of gold treatment for drunkenness, must use his judgment, exercise his will and avoid temptation or the physical condition which breeds the fatal appetite will be re-asserted. It strikes us that the man who thus exercises his mental faculties will have no need of calling on Mr. Keeley. The man who avoids temptation and exercises his will power will never be a drunkard. —Rochester Sentinel. People who use arsenical preparations for their complexion, do so at the risk of their lives. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is guaranteed free from any injurious drug, , and is, therefore, the safest as well as the most powerful blood medicine in the world. It makes the skin clear. Use Wolverine Blood Purifier and Wolverine Liver Pills. Ask your druggist for them; take no other. The best. Headache, indigestion, and all disorders of the liver, Simmons Liver Regulator surely cures. It is a great misfortune for the young and middle aged to be gray.

This is the most popular and valuable toilet preparation in the ! world: all who use it are perfectly I satisfied that it is the best.
