He stated that the Three I survey runs through the edge of town near the saw-m.ll instead of one-half mile east of tne town, as was previously reported. Melv Wright and his son Fred were arrainged before Justice George last Tuesday evening charged with assault and battery upon Leroy Thompson, son of Jonah Thompson. Melv was tried by a jury and acquitted. Fred plead guilty and was fined, but slid out of town Tuesday night. More public watering troughs are needed on our streets for the accommodation of farmers and others who drive to our town to do their trading. The people who favor Walkerton with their patronage are entitled to such accommodations, and the town council or business men should make an effort to provide more conveniences of this kind. There are two kinds of hand-shakers that one meets occasionally that he would just as leave not meet. The one in shaking hands holds out one or two fingers in a grudging sort of way that makes you kind o’ wish you hadn’t come. The other is the one who doesn’t take his hand away but lets it remain helplessly in yours, leaving you to wonder what to do with it and how you are ever going to get away. The Plymouth Republican in speaking of the game by the Walkerton and 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.—Walkerton Independent. Well, now, the best way to prove this matter is to try it again. The Plymouth team stands ready to accept a challenge from Walkerton any day. Put up or shut up, which?—Plymouth Republican. As we see no particular reason why we should “shut up,” therefore we’ll proceed to “put up.” The Plymouth 1 team may now look for a challenge 1 any day.

M. fair to be held between South Bend and Mishawaka Sept. 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16. A child of John Chuff, of near Bristol, Elkhart county, was stung by a wasp from the effects of which it died ' two or three days afterwards. The two year old son of Chase Keller, of Tyner City, died last Tuesday 1 and was hurried on Wednesday from the U. B. church in that place. From 30 to 40 Walkertonites took in the excursion to Cedar Beach last Sunday. The day was pleasant and the excursionists had an enjoyable time. Frank Ake’s new residence was completed this week.

A company of three men gave a free open air concert on our streets on Friday evening of last week. The entertainment was fair, especially for a troupe of that class. It was an advertising fake for the Illinois Kidney and Liver cure. Account Supreme Lodge and Biennial Encampment, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, at Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22, 1892, the L.

Ed Henderson might have kept up a reputation for being a pretty fair farmer for a long time yet had he not been off his guard the other day and allowed some passers-by to catch him harvesting oats. Ed’s method of cutting and shocking oats is said to be very peculiar and entirely original with himself. Isaac Masterman, who recently put a notice in the Independent advertiseing a harness for sale, had a half dozen buyers as soon as the paper was out. This, however, is only one of many instances we know of showing th' value of advertising. “When you have anything to sell notify the public through the Independent, and you will be almost sure to get gratifying results. The republican joint senatorial convention for St. Joseph and Starke counties meets in Walkerton to-day for the purpose of nominating a candidate for senator from this district. The meeting will also partake of the nature of an old-fashioned republican love feast and there will be present Col. J. S. Dodge, Aaron Jones and other speakers to address the meeting. The convention meets at 2 o’clock, p. m., in Bender’s hall. Robinson's “Postmaster” company played to a good house in Bender’s opera house last Saturday evening. “The Postmaster” is a western play, the principal incidents being laid in a mining camp where the hero of the play figures conspicuously and is followed and persecuted by the villain, as usual. The hero finally, after striking “pay dirt,” returns to the parental roof in the east, from •which he had been turned away by an irate father who disowned his son for making an objectional matrimonial alliance, of course, a wealthy man. In order that the hero may figure romantically as the lover of the soubrette his wife dies conveniently’ between the first and second acts. He is afterwards happily married to the soubrette, the heroine of the camp, returns with her to his eastern home, “and the villain still pursued her,” the fath forgives, the villain is shot, and a^ ends serenely. The play is a fair one, although it is very weak in some respects, and the acting was perhaps up to the average of traveling companies, the soubrette being the most clever acJ tor in the troupe. The company 7 went i from this place to Blue Island, a su । burb of Chicago.

The young people belonging to the Sunday school classes taught by Misses Dora McDaniel, Rose Millard and Loda Brubaker held a basket picnic in Granger’s grove on Thursday last. A very pleasant time is reported by those present. The Albion New Era has a number of talented contributors who furnish that paper from one to two poems of real merit every wee. .. For this class of literature the New Era is ahead of any country paper in the state, so far as we know. Engineer Woodruff and his surveyors were in Walkerton again on Wednesday, they having completed the survey of the Three I to South Bund. The Independent is informed that the surveyinging party left Knox Friday to straighten the survey from that place to Walkerton. Chief Engineer Woodruff went from this place to Chicago on Thursday to report at headquarters. The annual institute of the teachers of St. Joseph county convened Monday forenoon at South Bend, with County Superintendent Bair presiding. Prof. O. J. Craig, of Purdue university, and Prof. 11. AV. Carver, of Valparaiso, delivered interesting lectures before the convention. On Tuesday the above two gentleman discussed subjects of interest to the teachers, Air. Bell, editor of the Indiana School Journal, also giving an interesting talk. Business of importance, was transacted by the teachers, and the session was from begginning to end one of interest and benefit to the members of the institute*

this place is again revived, and while some of the citizens admit that such an establishment would be a good thing for the stockholders and the town and say they would like to see it started, yet but few are taking hold of the matter with zeal. Those who are most enthusiastic for it haven't sufficient money to prosecute the venture, while the ones who have the capital to invest are apparently passive in the matter. There is no reason under the sun why a novelty works could not be made a success in AValkerton with good management. In nine cases out of ten all over the country where institutions of this kind have been established they have proved a success, and wherever a failure has been noted it was due to poor management alone. The demand for manufactured articles in the novely line is always active and constantly on the increase. A stock company with a capital of live or six thousand dollars could start a works in a modest way which would be sufficiently large to do a nice little business from the beginning and more facilities for doing work could be added from time to time as the demand increased. AValkerton is in about as bad shape for the lack of manufacturing interests as any town of its size in the country, and one thing is sure, that unless the town gets more manufacturing industries to employ labor and keep the arteries of trade in a healthy condition, for which it is folly to hope to always depend upon the surrounding agricultural interests, the time is cor .ing when the town will take a backward course and in a few years hence will be found in the immediate vicinity of the rear of the procession. 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 AVitt’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs, L. R. Patton, Rockford, 111., writes: “From personal experience I can recommend Pa Witt’s Sarsaparilla, a cure for impure blood and general debility.”

He was told that the only thing he needed was to be relieved from care and worry, and have a change of thought. This doctor was more con siderate of his patient’s needs than of his financial circumstances. He ought to have advised him to use Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, the best remedy for nervous prostration, sleeplessness, dizziness, headache, ill effects of spirits, tobacco, coffee, opium, etc. Thousands testify to cures.
