AROUND HOME. ITEMS OF A PERSON AT. AND INCIDENTAL NATURE Furnished by the Independent's Efficien' Corps of Correspondents. GRO VERTOWN. A little child of John Sult is dangerously sick with pheumonia. Mrs. Henry Pedicord whose life was despared of is now slowly convalescing and hopes are entertained of her complete recovery. Os three charges brought against a man named Reed before J ustice Rust last Tuesday the jury only found one true one against him, that of using profane language and was fined. $1 and costs. Reed is a prosperous farmer living in the southwest part of this township. Parties from Chesterton, Ind., have purchased a tract of land a mile and a half north and a mile west of town and are getting material on the ground preparatory to building. They seem to be just the men we want in this country—men of much grit and enterprise. Chris. Seider is making some much needed repairs in Iris hay press; among others is the purchase of a new engine.

Rev. Simona filled bis regular appointment at this plase last Sunday; after services a Sabbath school was organized with the following officers at the head: Superintendent, Seward Rinehart; As’s’t., Sid Uncapher; Sec., O. N. Holderman; Librarian, Miss Anna Yeager; Chorister, Mrs. Emma Davis. The hour appointed for meeting is 9:30, a. m. of each Sabbath. We trust that, all will take an active part, and do all they can to make our Sunday school a success. [lntended for last week ] Mrs. Warren Rust is quite ill with lagrippe and heart trouble. Jake Sult lost one of his horses last week. Henry Allen has built a neat and substantial iron fence around his premises; his is undoubtedly the neatest place in town. He preaches improvement and is just enterprising enough to practice what he preaches. Seward Rinehart attended the funer al of his father’s sister near Lakeville last Sunday. Mrs. John Williams is very sick with lagrippe. C. Klingaman and F. Seider each have an abundance of cause to go around and grin and be happy, all because of the arrival, of a fine boy at the former’s house, and a girl at the latters. Congratulations. Chas. Messier, a young man living two miles south of this place, passed peacefully over the dark river last Monday morning of chronic bronchitis. He was a young man of high moral standing and of exemplary habits, and his death casts a deep gloom over the entire community. A short time before his death he expressed himself as fully prepared to go, and he passed peacefully and happily away with the Christian’s glorious hope of a home in that great and beautiful world beyond. His age was about twenty one. The funeral cereihonies were held at this place at t«n, a. m., on last Wednesday, and conducted by Rev. Shouley, of Plymouth. Chase. TEEGARDEN. Arnold Rensberger left for Tennessee Tuesday for the purpose of viewing the x country, and of buying land if pleased ^^'dl^the country.

LOCAL BRIEFS. - —— Fresh bread every day at the Star bakery. Dwelling rooms for rent. Enquire of J. Endly. Head the change in Chas. M. Stephens’ ad this week. The choice for postmaster of Bremen fell upon John Bauer, jr. Sport on the Kankakee is just now a little slim on account of the high water. The Walkerton (louring mill has been painted red. A fine improvement. Lace curtains sl. Very neat. Can’t be beat for the money. Noah Rensberger. A book aucticn held forth in the Fry building this week. Some very good books were sold at, low prices. The Independent office turned out, this week, a lot of invitations and programs for a select ball to be held at North Liberty, Thursday evening, April 6. It is estimated that the fad of collecting old postage stamps in this country employs $3,000,000 of capital, supports 150 newspapers and engages the at tent ion of 300.000collectors.—Ex. The work trains are now busy ballasting up the the Wabash road at North Liberty and other places along the line. Passenger trains will, it is thought, be running through Liberty by the first of next month. Charley Granger has been under the weather of late from a nervous ailment. It was brought on by over-ex-ertion on the night of the fire at Amos Stevenson’s residence a few weeks ago. He is mending at this writing. Congressman Conn paid Walkerto*^ a visit Tuesday evening. with headquarters at the Hotel Fry. 'The congressman came here to look after postotfice matters. The choice for postmaster as decide d by the election was found to be satisfactory, and Attorney S. J. Nicoles will be recommended for the place. It would be too expensive to put down cisterns and get a water hand engine to protect ourselves against fire. It is cheaper to let buildings burn up and pay an increased rate of insurance rather than have suitable tire protection. And then by waiting a little longer, until the town is burned down, it will not be necessary to provide means for lighting fire. The South Bend Sunday News talks sensibly on the court house question. It says: ‘‘The question of a new court house is in an agitated condition. It comes up quite frequently now in general conversation. The opinion appears to be quite common that $150,W0 will provide all that is required in the way of accommodations and architectural appearance, and at the same time afford less temptation for a job. The quite common custom of spending $200,000 or more for a court house in a small city is a piece of extravagance and would not be warranted in South Bend.” Last Saturday Walkerton had another scare from fire. Shortly after noon Miller I. S. McDuffie discovered the engine room of the Walkerton flouring mill on fire, which had started from the petroleum used for fuel in the boiler. Whether the lire started in the engine room or at the opening of the pipe, through which the waste oil runs to near the railroad, is not known. The pipe was on (ire from one end to the other, and it required the hardest fighting and closest watching to prevent disastrous results. Fortunately the mill was equipped with hose, without which there would have been no effective means of fighting the fire. After about a half hour’s work Mr. McDuffie, Elzy Smith and others succeeded in putting the fire out. The engine room was considerably disfigured from the fire, but ? otherwise no particular damage was । done. It was a most fortunate es- ' cape, for had the mill, which is a large four story building, burned there is but little doubt that other buildings in the vicinity would have burned also.

Henry McCool preached at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. his subject being, “The Word of God.” The sermon was well delivered and conveyed many good thoughts. Easter service will be held at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning. In the evening there will be preaching also. Subject “God revealed in the Heavens.” Rev. Henry McCool will have charge of both services. The Greenville, Tenn., News annouaces the marriage there of Brook Bowman, a mail clerk on the Louisviil A Knoxville railroad, to Miss S usie Holley, of that place. Mr. Bowman was formerly editor of the Bremen Enquirer. Cyrus Mocly the young man who was taken from his sick bed and baptized m a tank of cold water by a lot of crazy fanatics at Knox recently, has since died from the effects of the exposnre. This is a case that demands a thorough investigation by the authoriti *s.

If the Liver is inactive the whole system is out of order—the breath is bad, digestion poor, head dull or aching, energy and hopefulness ’ gone, the spirit is depret^d, a heavy weight exmJ after eating, with general despondency and tire blues. The Liver is the housekeeper of the health; and a harmless, simple remedy that acts like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with business or pleasure during its use, makes Simmons Liver Regulator a medical perfection. I have tested its virtues personally, and know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Throbbing Headache, it is the best medicine the world ever saw. Have tried forty other remedies before Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of them gave more than temporary relief, but the Regulator not only relieved but cured. If. H. Jones, Macon, Ga, M. E.

Most of the schools in this township closed on Friday of last week. Health brings happiness. Take Simmons Liver Regulator for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. One hundred men were discharged from the B. & O. shops at Garrett last week. Among the number were sev-

s uuuivtn ntiv sev-1 eral old employes. The Milford Mail is writing up the town in good shape. Last week the paper contained a history of theschools with an illustration of the school building. The world's fair will probably be : open every night until 11 o’clock, which will be a great convenience for people living within easy reach of Chicago. The practice of using spittoons filled with sawdust is dangerous, and should be done away with by business men and others who use them. A dry goods store in a neighboring town had a narrow escape from burning recently caused by a lighted cigar being thrown in the sawdust.
