The protracted meetings at the Island church are being well attended every evening and much interest is being awakened in that locality in the cause of Christianity. Revs. Goss and Snyder are accomplishing great good The South Bend Post has discontinued publication. It was a good paper from its first number to the time . it closed business, and deserved suc-
* cess. It seems that the field in South Bend is too limited to support a third daily paper. The Elkhart Truth says Congress-man-elect Conn has gone to Washington, expecting to remain an indefinite time watching legislation so as to inform himself and get an insight into the requirements of his office, that he may be better able to perform the duties assigned him. There is an epidemic of crime in Chicago. Sneak thieves and highway robbers are carrying things with a high hand in the city and suburbs. The alarming increase in crime there is attributed to the influx of thugs from the eastern cities. When the police of the city get a move on and begin to drive the thieves out then the smaller towns will fall a prey to this dangerous element. Fred Young, having purchased and moved into the office building, one door west of the Independent, desires to call attention to the change, and invites his friends and customers to call and see him in his new quarters. The manufacturing and repairing of boots and shoes will be done by him in the future as in the past—in a first-class manner and at the lowest prices, using best of material in all work.

The Lake Erie & Western folks, it is said, intend to extend their road to Chicago, and hope to have a line of their own from Michigan City to O' icago by March 1. The most pitiful saying in the world is, -‘l’ll try just once more.” It tells such tales of efforts without reward, of ambition come to nothing, and of injustice and suffering.—Atchison Globe. The typo made a mistake in setting the announcement of services at the Presbyterian church next Sunday evening, getting the subject “Atheism, or the Fool’s Curse,” instead of “Atheism, or the Fool’s Creed.” The dance that was announced to be held at North Liberty last Thursday evening under the management of Irv Wolfe was abandoned on. account of the bad roads and unfavorable change in the weather.
O. K. Bly, representing Goodspeed Bros., publishers, of Chicago, is in Walkerton and locality collecting historical and biographical matter for the publication of a history of St. Joseph county. The history will be issued next spring. Pat Fitzgerald, j while jumping from the rear car of a moving freight train near the B. & O. depot, last Sunday, struck the ground in such a manner as to seriously sprain one of his ankles. As a result, he is now laid up with the injury and probably will be for quite a number of days yet. Dr. Graham Newell Fitch died at his home in Logansport on the morning of Nov. 29, aged 83 years. He was Cass county’s most distinguished citizen and one of its earliest pioneers, having been a resident of the county for about sixty years. He represented Indiana in the United States senate at one time, but had not been active in politics since his retirement from that position in 1861. Goshen News: John Emmert, <f this county, a conductor on the B. & O. got into trouble at Milford Junc- . tion this morning. He was going . west with a train and stopped at the . Junction to set off a couple of cars.
After the engine had left the train with a couple of cars for the siding it started down the big grade and came towards the crossing at a fast rate of speed. The inter-locking switch steered the front car loaded with wagons into the eating house and several cars besides the depot platform were wrecked. A town, like an individual, will naturally encounter many obstacles and difficulties in its onward stride to prosperity and greatness. The greatest obstacles against a town’s advancement are its unprogressive citizens. Wise counsel is always acceptable, but it should be remembered that chronic kicking and fault-finding is not wisdom. Men of very small calibre often excel as critics, but a e good for nothing else. The impetuous dash of youth is better than too mi c i fossilized wisdom, and not infrequently accomplishes an undertaking while the other sits by and predicts disaster. Extremes should be avoided; there is a happy medium, however, which, it faithfully pursued, leads on to good and worthy public benefits and general prosperity. A town, if it hopes to grow or ever become of numb im’'O’o ’ must first r> d ■ । cial counsel of pebanmom.

The Walkerton school library is now an established fact, and Prof. Urey has received his first lot of books for the library. The Walkerton creamery has commenced business in its poultry department, and is shipping chickens to Philadelphia. The holiday advertising causes a shortage in the Independent’s local matter at present, but this will be atoned for after the rush subsides.

James Quinn, who left here for Ireland recently, writes back to Charlie Quinn that he arrived there all safely, after a voyage of six days and twelve hours. Rev. Snyder will hold regular services Sunday evening at the U. B. church. Owing to his protracted work at the Island church he did not fill his regular appointment last Sunday evening. In mentioning the names of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Yerrick who were present at the family reunion that of Mrs. Wesley McDaniel was inadvertantly omitted, and the mistake was not noticed until the ar-
tide was in type. Tom Wolfe will dose out his clothing business at North Liberty and will sell the stock at prices regardless of cost.

One day last week while George Brown and three or four other men were raising an old roof on a barn which he was building the roof fell with George under it, and as it weighed about 800 pounds he was in very uncomfortable quarters until the weight could be removed.
