Harry Richmond is making arrangements to nut on the play “Rip VanWinkle" at Bender’s opera house, in two or three weeks. He will be assisted by local talent. The Independent is prepared to print wedding and ball invitations in neat style at low rates. When in want of anything in this line call and look over our samples. The Nappanee News says that the Knights of Pythias lodge of that place received about fifteen applications for membership during the past month. A remarkably good showing. B. A. Byers has taken charge of Isaac Moore’s B. & O. lunch room, and has moved his family from Garrett to this place. Their many friends here are glad to see them back to Walker

ton. The Plymouth Novelty works dis burses . sixteen hundred dollars in wages every two weeks to its one hundred employes. Building that novelty works was a happy and timely stroke of enterprise on the part of the citizens of Plymouth. Cal Sinninger, editor of the Bremen Enquirer, who was in a serious condition last week as a result of the brutal assault made upon him by a citizen of that place, was, at last reports, improving. It is said that he will sue his assailant for heavy damages. The Odd Fellows have ordered an entire new outfit of furniture and will move into the rooms upstairs in the Beall building in the upper block, f. W. N. Stephens and family, who now occupy the rooms, will move into the Behrens building east of the L. E. & W. road. Chas. M. Stephens will open up in business in the Woodworth building as soon as the repairs, which will be commenced next Monday on the building, are completed. He will carry a complete line of groceries and all kinds of feeds. He goes to Chicago to-day । to buy his stock. Jackson Green, one of the oldest citizens in St. Joseph county, died at his beautiful home in Green township last Wednesday morning. He settled on the present Greene farm in the townbhip which was named after his family, in 1832. He was born in Green county, Ohio, in 1814. On last Monday while cutting wood with a circular saw on the farm of . Mrs. Lizzie Place, Frank Dare had the ' fingers of his left hand badly lacerated. i Upon examination it was found neces- | sary to amputate the first three fling- ' crs of the hand close to the palm, Dr. Arlington performing the operation. The Mexican Novelty and Specialty company of twelve ladies and gentlemen, who play in Bender’s opera house ! to-night (Friday) and Saturday night, come highly recommended, and played to big houses at LaPorte. The Herald speaks highly of the entertainment and says it is the best of the kind that ever visited that city. The exhibition is moral in every respect, and should be well patronized. Admission 25 cents; children 15 cents.

Apples $1.25 per bushel at the Star bakery. 500 undershirts ranging from 50 cts. to $2, at half price at T. J. 'A olfe s. See the mixed candies at the St.u bakery. Clayt Nichols is moving into the Florence hotel. Since being repaired it is one of the finest little hotels to be found anywhere. It will be good news to the friends । c>f Jake Bender, who is being treated at the Logansport asylum, to know that he is rapidly improving, with good chances of a complete restoration. Since thedeath of Editor A. B. Miller the editorial department of the South Bend Tribune is in charge ot R. IL Lyon, with Chan Fassett as local editor. Both are practical newspaper The AL E. n ° ficers for the ensuing year, last, Wednesday evening, as follows: Supt., T. J. Reece; assistant superintendent, E. Leibole; See., Ray Vincent; assistant secretary, Hattie Hostetter; treasurer, Ed Grider; librarians, Verner Nelson and Claude Pool; organist, Vesta Leibole; chorister, Chas. Pool. Rev. H. C. Keeley are creating great

interest and trie attendance each night is large. A number of conversions are reported, and the prospect is that Rev. Keeley’s work here will result in great good. The meetings will probably continue throughout next week. This locality had a little taste of blizzard ala Dakota on Thursday. A strong wind kept the snow whirling in blinding gusts all day and did not cease until some time during the night. Enough snow fell to make a half dozen ordinary sleighings but the snow is so drifted that the sleighing is practically spoiled. An exchange makes this seasonable suggestion: This being the close of the year, every one should make it a point to settle up the little bills they may owe over town. Try and start “even" with (he new year. Remember you will feel better after having squared up such matters, and besides, you will be doing others a favor that they will appreciate.

Both the bride and groom have a large circle of acquaintances in North ern Indiana who will join us in wish ing (hem a happy and prosperous fu tore. Goshen Democrat. The bride has many friends among the young people of Walkerton, where she is well known, who will extend their best wishes. The finest, and best assorted jewelrv stock ever in Walkerton is kept by Miss Hutchings. The Independent in looking over the stock the other evening was surprised to see such a fine and tasty assortment, especially in the silverware line. Her stock of silverware, we understand, is being closed out at greatly reduced prices on account of insufficient room for such goods. Silver castors she is selling at cost and spoon-holders, tea sets, butter dishes, etc., way below regular retail prices. The Milford Mail says a male member of the Dixon troupe entered tlie waiting room at the depot on Wednesday night with a cigar in his mouth. The room was filled with ladies, among them Mrs. Baker, of Nappanee. When she saw the cigar in the actor’s mouth, she arose and snatched it out of his month and stamped it under her foot. “You are from the country, are you not, madam?” said the actor. “Yes” 1 responded the old lady, “I’m from Nappanee, and I am old enough to be your mother and teach yon good manners besides.” The actor subsided amid the jeers and raillery of the . . troupe. ! A musical recital of song was given i at the M. E. church last Saturday eve- I j ning under the direction of Prof. Guy ! Martin, who held a week’s revival of music at the AL E. church. The entertainment consisted of a. high class of music and the large audience present , was delighted with the program. The • professor is a music teacher of consid- | erable ability and the impress of his i ; valuable, work in this place is already | quite apparent. Song is a most potent power for good, and it is gratifying to know that renewed interest has been awakened in Walkerton in this respect. The Independent is informed that Prof. Martin will return to Walkerton in about two weeks to again take | charge of a class.

of loaning my paper to your “pap.” Kindly say to him that he had better call on the editor and subscribe for it himself. Ex. The Nappanee News complains, and justly, too, because the business men of that place are compelled to pay for the delivery of express packages. Why this should be the case in Nappanee we can not see, as express is delivered in \\ alkerton free of charge, and if the express company can afford to provide such accommodations here it certainly can and ought to do the same by its patrons in Nappanee. ou must have a live, enterprising class of merchants in Walkerton,” is a remark that h.i 1 often been made to the editor of this paper by,people from the surrounding country and neigboring towns who see the Independent and notice the large amount of home advertising it contains. The Inde-j pendent can say with pride and satis- i lad ion that this observation is well founded, for we have some first-class business men here, as good, in fuel, as . .. ... ..... ... w 1

vou will find in any town, who are not only building up th. ir own individual fortunes but by their public spirited | ness are h. Iping to advance the whole : community. They know what a newspaper means, without having the I fact pounded into their heads with a I hickory club. They don't want some- . thing for nothing and know that it is their duty to patronize a home paper, as a partial return for the many dollars such an institution puts into their pockets every year. The utter folly of trying to sustain ' two papers in a small country town is again illustrated by the suspension of; the Democrat at Albion, a town of about eighteen hundred inhabitants and a county seat at that. The Dem- j ocrat was edited by Mr. Alvord, an old and experienced journalist, but the patronage not being sufficient to warrant him in continuing he was obliged to suspend. The New Erain commenting upon the matter says: L “We are only sorry that the patron L age was not sufficient to warrant the J continuance of its publication. But ! the fact is that the attempt to main- ] tain two newspapers in a town likP* Albion, the patronage of which is bare i ly sufficient to give one a decent sup I port, never has and never will succeed,; and the fate of the Democrat substantiates that proposition. It nevgg should have been established here, HIM, we feel assured that no man having a. knowledge of the newspaper business; no man knowing the expense incident to the publication of a first-class paper would have made the venture. It was established by one who had no practical [ knowledge of or experience in the ; newspaper business and once established, like all other ventures, it “hung Ito the willows” just as long as it was possible for it to do so.”

This was my experience —a hacking, dry cough, with an Incessant tickling in the throat, keeping me Awake nights, and disturbing the household.
