Sllje Jnfcpentont, WALKERTON, INDIANA, JUNE 11, 1892, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. It is said that Hon. B. F. Shively has* decided to retire from public life at the close of his present term of pflice. This is no doubt a wise resolution. It is said that the army worm has appeared in some parts of this state. It has been twenty-four years since these destructive pests have hpen seen In this part of the country. The M. E. church has stricken the Word “obey” from the marriage ceremony, in doing which it has established a worthy precedent. That word “obey” has no business in a marriage contract, anyhow. Thore is a movement on foot to make October 12, the date of Columbus’ discovery of America, a national holiday. So great an event as the discovery of America is certainly worthy of being annually commemorated ip a national way. If we knew more of one another, how much more love, pity, compassion, and generous feeling, there would be in the world! It is from that very ignorance of one another’s trials and afflictions that we judge so hardly, and sometimes so unjustly.—Ave Maria. The new proprietor of the Knox Re- 1 publican kr.

The “Huckleberry queen,” the monster cranberry marsh of St. Joseph county, is to be converted into a celery patch. —Indianapolis Sun. That’s the first- time we knew that it was a cranberry marsh and called the Huckleberry Queen. John G. Maughermar, of South Bend, chairman of the People’s Party central committee of the district, has issued a call to all labor organizations to meet in parties. Prof. J. B. Angell, of Ann Arbor, made no charge for his superb lecture at the commencement exercises in this 1 city. This is quite in contrast with ' the course of Dr. Talmage, who exacted a cool S4OO for talking an hour on a similar occasion ieveral years ago.— South Bend Times. What a little, low-lived contemptible trick it is for people to steal floral offerings from the graves of soldiers or others. There are but few persons mean enough to commit such an act, but still there are some who will, as We notice by a number of our exchanges that there were cases of this kind on Decoration day. Personal likes or dislikes, the Muncie Herald says, should cut no more figure in politics than they do in the business relations of life. Very few men will refuse to drive a shrewd bargain because of $ persona^ consideration for the other fellow. Because you or I like a man dees not make him an available candidate. Personal popularity does not always embody fitness for office. The orator at the tomb of General Grant on Memorial day was Col. Charles Marshal, an ex-confederate veteran, w|io delivered a grand and touching tribute to the memory of the dead hero of Appomatox. No national holiday serves to awaken the finer sentiments of patriotism or quicken into life the noblest impulses of the heart as Memorial day. In teaching its sublime lessons of loyality the day is becoming dearer year by year to the American citizen and will be “celebrated as long as gratitude exists and flowers bloom.” Here is something from an exchange that will interest voters who are about to absent themselves from the state for a few months previous to the election. It is as follows: “The new election law requires voters leaving the state to be absent a few months to register at the county clerk’s office. If they fail to do this, they lose their votes. A'oung men going away to work for the summer must register before leaving, or they will lose their votes. Those pow gone should return and register. It is the duty of committeemen especially to give this matter careful attention.’ 1

Elmer Davis, “Cats” for short, was an trial in the St. Joseph circuit court last Wednesday cha-iged with theft of a revolver from a traveling man several weeks ago while he (Davis) was employed in Wolfenbarger’s livery stable at this place. An indictment was found against him and the judge imposed a sentence of $5 fine, 60 days in the county jail and disfranchisement for ono year. The sentenne was much lighter than was anticipated. Another charge is preferred against Davis, that of ssealing a pair of rubber boots from T. J. Reece, the hardware merchant of this place, for which he will be tried at the next term of court, when, in case he is found guilty, he will not be apt to faro so easily as he did this time, for judges, as a rule, have hut little compassion for a man who is brought before the bar or justice a second time. Those who were called from this place ns witnesses in the trile are as follows: Jeff Reece, Frank Paul, Buck Mason, Will Hileman, Charles and Ed McCarty, Frank Barnhart and John Wolfenbarger.

4 QfIIGHTE^ OUTLOOK. The lot of the country editor during the last twenty years has not been an enviable one. He has not only been made the victim of dead-beat subscribers, stingy home merchantsand selfish and oppressive politicians, but he has been continually preyed upon by hordes of parasitical advertisers and advertising agents, some of which have been cussedly active, voracious and virulent. ^jyilAhihMa^^a^ditor is getting to and come out both a wiser andarichrtF man. He has learned that a life at the trough of advertising dead-beats, officeseekers, and similar selfish schemers, is but a life of trial and hunger. His hard experience has made him a philosopher, a fair business man, a philanthropist and a hero. He knows enough and is strong enough to be independent, and like the valiant knights of old, his chief pleasure is now to occasionally sally forth for adventures with brigands and banditti in the wilderness of politics as well as in the forests of business. lam one of the Quixotic fellows myself, and have no hesitancy in tackling a wind-mill.—E. A. Paradis, of the Midway News. CONGRESSMAN SNIVEL Y. Announces that Be will Positively Retire from Public Life. TO THE democracy OS the thirteenth CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT:

Permit me to respectfully announce that I shall not be a candidate for renomination to the office of representative in congress. While my reasons for this announcement are of a private and business character, they are such as to be with me imperative ar,d decisive. It is but just that I should add that this step is a matter of recent determination, due to circumstances not witbin my control. It has not been postponed an hour after it became obvious to me that it should be taken. The kind partiality that assures me, were I a candidate, of the honor of a unanimous renomination, only deepens my sence of gratitude for the generous support of my party and the unselfish devotion of political and personal friends which have been my good fortune sinse ray first entrance into public life. It sharpens whatever of regret I may feel at severing relations which I do myself the honor to believe have been formed in mutual respect and confidence. I can only renew to you my grateful thanks for this and the many former manifestations of your favor, and cherish the record of your good will as a possession of inestimable value alike to the public servant arid the private citizen.

A TIP TO AN EYE OPENER. STRANGER—“HeIIo, Farmer. FARM ER -Hello, Straw go r. STRANGER Where do you buy your clothing’ FARMER—At the Globe. STRANGER- Why not buy elsewhere? FARMER -It is this. They have a new ctock throughout. No pld or shelfworn goods. New goods wear longer than old ones and they have prices down “pat”—haven't bought clothing as good fitting and well made as cheap for years. They have reduced the price of clothing at Walkerton beyond a doubt. They merit my patronage and they get it. I also find them reliable, honest and square dealing. Their advertised (Douglas) shoes I like, for if they wear for only half as long as they should for the price paid, I get them for half price. Only pay for what wear they give me, virtually lam out nothing. This, to my sorrow, I cannot say of other makes. I pay no jobbers' profit, nor his heavy expenses incurred in such business when I buy this shoe. They are the best shoe I can buy for the money, but, however, they have a full line of other shoes as well. They are a cash buying firm, a feature that should not be overlooked. Cash goes everywhere, so their purchasing field is unlimited. They watch i closely and if quantity cuts any figure in the real value of goods in consideration they take quantity. They are not at all bashful in this respect. They are ever on the alert to furnish the best goods for the least money. And then they tell me if they bought goods on time (which they don’t do) it would cost them not less than 18 per cent interest per year, which I would have to pay on the amount invested in my purchases. That is too much interest for me to pay. Can’t afford it, yet many do. Figures won’t lie. They are very low on prices—haven’t known th,em to be undersold yet, and they tell mo that they have just commenced. Prices will be still lower—the lowest. Trade is so good that they will make prices still lower and then make enough to fully satisfy them. This, I believe, is no blow, for I have always found them to bo reliably. Another thing I have noticed. Those who trade there once trade there again. They like cash for goods, which is no bad feature. I assure y 0 ^. It enables them to sell cheap—that I like. Then again they have no losses resulting from bud accounts to make up from the profit of my purchases. I don't like to pay for other people’s clothing—not in that way. Pay as you Go gets rich. Buy on Time becomes poor. They fully reeognize the fact that One Price to all is the basis of confidence. What I save on purchases at such a store amounts to about 20 cents on the dollar and that is what I need these hard times. When you reach towu look fur The SUn of The Globe. KOOnTZ, SWARK & KO.
