Come to the Independent for your newspaper favors and then send away for your job printt ing to some firm that will never do * you nor the town an iota of good. That’s good citizenship. Fortunately, however, the majority of our business men are not of the stripe to goback on a beneficial home industry. They appreciate and prize the value of a wellequipped home printing office which turns out neat printing at reasonable nriees.

The South Bend Tribune of Monday says: “Owing to sickness the pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, Kev. O. L. Prentice, w.as unable to preach yesterday.

The fire started Sunday morning at Eagle’s Point, 21 miles from the Fort Wayne road. How it originated, is not known. The fire was driven by the wind in a northeastern direction to within a short distance of the B. & O. railroad, where it was put out during the night by the rain. The path of the fire was at least a mile wide, and although great damage was done, many farmers managed, by the hardest fighting, to save their property. The amount of hay burned, mostly in the stack, was quite large, the following persons being the heaviest losers: John Kneisley and John Cilery together lost about 200 tons; George Goppert and William Delabarre together, about 45 tons; Frank Shrull, D. W. Place and others lost considerable, though the amount is not known at this writing. About forty rods of - rail fence was burned on the Kraokoh \ vicz farm. The hay, mostly, was unApsured.

Come again Mr. Southers and we promise you same as before, a hearty welcome.—Daily American, Newark. O. Mr. Southers will be with the Robinson Crusoe company at Bender's opera house Saturday evening. Nov. 26. The Plymouth Republican says that several petitions are being industriously circulated in that county, for the pardon of Dr. Viets, who has served about 16 months in the penitentiary, and has about as much more time to serve. The Republican is of the opinion that the effort is ill-timed and fruitless. To go much longer without some kind of a good manufacturing industry, is an extravagance that Walkerton can’t afford. About the time that our more enterprising neighboring towns commence to put us away in the clear, real estate here begins to depreciate in value and business falls off, then will we open our eyes wide to the importance of securing one or two good factories. Manufacturing is our only salvation.

A contemporary hits the nail on the head by saying that the local newspaper is more annoyed by people who wish items kept out of print than any other class of customers. The newsgatherer is abused because he gets certain items and again because he suppresses news, so that his vocation is not altogether an enjoyable one. The subscriber expects the news, and people are continually committing acts that are his legitimate “meat.” If he records this circumstance he at least loses one friend and that is the victim, but if he neglects it he receives the plain, unvarnished opinion of others, who may remember when thej were handled by the paper. For charity’s sake many things are left out the paper, but when they are there is always an unpleasant hereafter for the reporter and editor that scarcely ie--1 ceive the thanks of the party shielded. I “Keep it out of the paper” is easily I sail, and but few realize the extent of ta k and trouble the granting of the request occasions; so the safest way is ’to walk in such an upright manner i that the unpleasant feature of record- | ing your shortcomings will be avoided.

When a man is through with his day’s work and is sitting down resting in his home, he cannot read the advertisements on the fences, and the hand bills and circulars that were left on the door step during the day have blown away or been destroyed. He calls for the paper and there he finds the merchant’s announcement, and with nothing to bother his mind he reads it carefully, and then calls his wife's attention to it, and they decide to go to the merchant’s store and examine what is advertised.—Ex.

A large and fashionable audience gathered at the opera house Saturday evening last to witness the first production in this city of Robinson Crusoe with his man “Friday.” This dramatization of DeFoe’s great novel, was arranged by Mr. Southers, who assumed the title role, assisted hy Miss MadaUne Price, and an excellent supporting company. Too much cannot be said in favor of this production. The scenery handsome, wardrobe the finest without any exception, that has ever been witnessed in Dixon. The songs and specialties were really enjoyable, in fact an excellent performance throughout—Evening Telegraph, Dixon, 111. At Bender's opera house, Nov. 26. Burglars were doing the town Tuesday night. They broke into Ed McCarty's residence and took $231 in bills which he had secreted in a jar on the cupboard. They got in at the kitchen window, and were so stealthy in their operations that no noise was made and the robbery was not discovered until the next morning. The amount stolen was tax money which Mr. McCarty had collected while filling the office of deputy tax collector. Some fellow was prowling around Kirt Wolfenbarger’s nouse the same night. Kirt heard the front gate squeak and got up to look out when he saw the fellow take to his heels through the yard and disappear over the back fence. Burglars have evidently commenced their cold-weather campaign and it is wise for everybody to be prepared for a visit from them.
