The Plymouth Republican in speaking of the game by the Walkerton and i Plymouth nines at that place on Thursday of last week is led to remark that “of course the Walkerton boys were no match for them.” This is news to anybody that knows anything at all about the respective merits of the two clubs. The Walkerton club has always stood head and shoulders above the Plymouth team, and has played with and defeated some of the stiffest nines in Northern Indiana. By making one or two changes in the positions of their players the Walkerton boys, we will venture to say, can beat the Plymouth team three to one right along and do it easily, — Robert Kennedy, of LaPorte City, lowa, is visiting among his friends and relatives in Walkerton, Ply mouth and ’ other places in this part of the country. Mr. Kennedy’s presence here will bung up a Hood of reminiscences among the old settlers of this region. Mr. Kennedy was among the earliest settlers of this locality, having come here in 1836, locating between this place and Plymouth on the LaPorte road. This was before Walkerton was even thought of and Plymouth was but a hamlet. The country was at that time in a primitive condition and was thickly inhabited by Indians and wild animals. South Bend contained about twenty inhabitants and was merely an Indian trading post. In those days a grist-mill, owned and conducted by the government, was located at a place known as Wee-Saw, two or three miles north of this place, where Mr. Kennedy and the other settlers used to take their wheat and other grain to be ground. They also used to be compelled to go as far as Rochester, about fifty miles away, when they “went to mill.” At that time there was not one inhabitant in Starke county, excepting the noble red men, who held full and undisputed sway over that domain. In 1838 Mr. Kennedy, by order of the government, assisted in transplanting a large number of Indians, principally Pottowatomies, to a reservation at Council Bluffs, lowa. Mr. Kennedy removed from this country to lowa about twenty- . four years ago, and is still a resident ; of that state, living at LaPorte City, > near where he owns several hundred L acres of land. He is about seventy- • I eight years of age, but is well prei ’ served and bids lair to enjoy many • more years of life.

The “merry-go round,” from appearances, has been doing a flourishing business. It has been catching a good many nickels from the boys and girls who have a penchant for that kind of amusement. An exchange says that “it is said that turning down the wick of a lamp is a very poor expedient to save oil, as about the same amount of combustible material is wasted, the only difference being that part of it escapes into the air, offending the sense of smell and injuring the health.” Young man don’t swear. There is no occasion outside of a printing office, where it is useful in proof-reading and indispensable in all branches of the business. It has been known also to materially assist an editor in looking | over a paper after it was printed. But otherwise it is a foolish habit.—Ex. The Independent is in receipt of the catalogue of the eleventh annual fair of the Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Agricultural Society, to be held on their grounds between South Bend and Mishawaka Sept. 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, 1892. From all indications the fair this season will be one of the most interestIllg OVCr ’ A -l—> sociationW ~ * In speaking of a recent visit of a number of the congregation of the Second Presbyterian church of South Bend to their pastor, Rev. O. L. Prentice, formerly of this place, now a resident of Rolling Prairie, the South Bend Times says: “On Saturday afternoon a number of the congregation of the Second Presbyterian church visited the pastor, Rev. O. L. Prentice, at his home at Rolling Prairie, he occupying the pulpits there and in this city each alternate two week.s The South Bend party was met at the depot in Rolling Prairie by Mr. Prentice and a number of his parishioners, and escorted to the pastor’s beautiful home, where the afternoon and evening were spent in the most delightful manner, the Rolling Prairie people proving themselves to be capital entertainers. An elegant supper was served and various amusements were indulged in. The party returned on the 11 o’clock train Saturday evening.” Buy you one of those $7.50 watches of T. J.

It is a fixed and immutable law that to have good, sound health one must have pure, rich and abundant blood. There is no shorter nor surer route than by a course of De Witt’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs, L. R. Patton, Rockford, HI., writes: “From personal experience I can recommend De Witt’s Sarsaparilla, a cure for impure blood and general debility.”

Goss’ sermon at the M. E. church last Sunday evening. This subject, which is one of towering importance and deserving of more attention from the pulpit and press than it is receiving, was presented by Rev. Goss in a very lucid and forcible manner. He dwelt with particular stress upon the evil influences to the youth of America flowing from the publication and sale of the cheap, sensational fiction with which the country is flooded. He believed the remedy for curing this evil would be to prohibit the sale of this class of literature by law. This is certainly the only way of suppressing the evil, and it is plainly the duty of the press and clergy to keep this question steadily before the people until our national law-makers are impelled to pass a law’ prohibiting the publication and sale of this demoralizing, poisonous class of literature. The sensationalism characterizing the press of to-day, particularly the metropolitan blanket sheets, was also spoken of by Rev. Goss as exercising a- decidedly bad influence. Too much attention, he thought, was paid by the press to prize fights, scandals, etc., to the neglect and exclusion of purer and more beneficial literature. It is a truth in m edicine that the smallest dose that performs the cure is the best. De Witt’s Little Early Risers are smallest pills, will perform the cure and are the best. J. Endly Dr. A. F.
