WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1893.

MOUNT VERNON. Harry Wenger was in Knox on business on Thursday of last week. Grandma Martin was taken down the first of last week with a very serious form of bowel complaint; she is no better at present writing. George Rough has moved his family in with Samuel Klingaman’s; he has a position near Union Center, where he will move as soon as the house has been repaired. Assessor Wenger was in South Bend last Saturday to meet the Board of Equalization, and to secure the books, blanks, etc , preparatory to beginning his assessing. Sam McComb has secured a farm three and one half miles southeast of LaPorte, and mdved on the same last Monday. Dan Koontz received a very painful injury last week by a nail striking him in the eye. Miss Maggie Farrington, of South Berni, is visiting with relatives in this locality this week. Misses Mamie Hardy and Christine Stickley, of the Island, visited with friends in this locality over Sunday. The Mount Vernon Literary Society’s entertainment last Saturday night was well patronized, and was fairly well rendered, in spite of adverse circumstances. Harry Wenger and wife, and Miss Sadie Wenger went to South Bend today, and will visit with relatives there and in Mishawaka over Sunday. Trebur. KNOX. The roads are dry and becoming dusty. Rev. Goss, of Walkerton, formerly pastor of the M. E. church hero, led ured to a full house on the the night of the 21st. His subject was The Great Young Woman.” His discourse was pithy, eloquent and refined, in fact one of the best lectures ever <b livvred in our place. The proceeds of the lecture were donated to the church, by the Ehler. It is truthfully (and frequently here) remarked that Brother Goss is one of our coming men. Mrs. Caroline Gerardys murderer of Nicholas Gerardy, was sent to prison on a two years sentence. The Kersi ing murder ease is continued until the May term of this court. Mrs. Ida E. Knosman, former wife of our auditor, has joined the Christian church. Sho is a splendid woman and has the respect and sympathy of the better class. The ladies of the Christian church gave an experience social, which from a financial standpoint was a success The entertainment was a grand affair. The children acquitted themselves nobly. Each lady gave her experience in poetry and blank verse as to how they earned the dollar donated. And those having husbands required their hubbies to pay their dollar also and keep mum. Suffice it to say that the ladies did nobly and their friends were justly proud of them. Mrs. H. B. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham and Samuel Robbins were in attennance at the circuit court here on the 31st inst. They were witnesses in a land case. The Hon. Wm. Spangler was in attendance at our court here last week. Di. C. W. Moore and wife made a visit to Knox on Monday. The Dr. contemplates locating in our county. Our cranky editor, nffov accepting a complimentary to the church entertainment, spoke disrespectfully of them. A fair illustration of the “sting of ingratitude.” What more could they expect if they attempted to decorate a donkey in a lion’s skin. The grand jury are now in session. Their duties for this term are not arduous. The court granted a new trial in the Lowe vs. Colby case. The case was ejectment. There are services on every Lord’s day at the Christian church on both morning and evening. i —4®^. Call for the WHITE ROSE when i you want flour from your grocer.

The Independent is in receipt of a map of Indiana from the Parry Manufacturing Co., of Indianapolis, manufacturers of wagons and buggies. The map shows the new legislative apportionment. The Parry is the largest factory in Indianapolis, and has a pay roll of $7,000 a week. B. X O. freight train No. 95, west bound, was wrecked on Friday of last week about three miles this side of Wellsboro, caused by a broken axle. Eight cars were thrown off the track, which were loaded mostly with coke and coal. It required eight hours work to clear up the wreck. Albert Barber left here Tuesday evening to attend the state encampment of the G. A. R. at Evansville, as delegate from Jesse Coppock Post of this place. The chief business of tinstate encampment this year is in making arrangements for the national encampment to be held at Indianapolis in September. i A slight mistake sometimes proves quite costly. A Truth man happdK ed in a dentist’s office today, just as a small piece of alum was substituted fora bit of borax in melting some gold. In the twinkling of an eye SIOO worth of work was ruined, and the person for whom the work was being done lives over 800 miles away and will have to make the trip again before the plate can be completed.— Elkhart Truth. An exchange says that a German who had not paid much attention to learning English, had a horse stolen from his barn one night whereupon he advert ised as follows: “Von nite de oder day, ven 1 vas bin avake in mine shleep, I heard somedings vat tinks vas not yust right in mine barn, nnd 1 out shumps to ped und runs der barn out; und ven I vas dere coom, 1 see my pig iron gray mare he vat bin tied loose, and run mit de staple off; nnd whoefer will him back bring, I yust so much pay him as vas bin kustomary.” An exchange says that it would be well to keep posted on the dog law recently passed by the legislature. It requires the owner of a dog to register it with the township assessor, which register shall be kept as a public book open for inspection in the township trustee's office. Failure to have your dog registered is a misdemeanor and lays you liable to a fine of $35. It costs $1 to register the first nuile_flmi and $3 for each additional male dog; $3 for the first female dog and $lO fori each additional female dog. Anybody is authorized to kill unregistered dogs. Good for Conn. In an interview in the Washington Star, Congressman Conn says: “My district is an agricultural district largely. I canvassed it very thoroughly and was brought in contact with the editors of the local rural press. No class of men do more in a campaign to further the interests of their party than do editors and newspaper men. This is particularly true of the country editor. The circulation of their papers is small, they work very hard and light their battles as if the fate of the nation and their own lives depended upon the success of their candidates. They are certainly deserving of reward and should be the very last class of recipients for presidential favor who j should be discriminated against.”

Wolfe’s clothing and tailoring establishment. There will be divine services at St. Phillip’s church, North Liberty, next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, April 11 and 12, conducted by Rev. Walter Scott. The LaPorte Star says: “It is not generally known that the remains of a former United States senator from Indiana are interred in the old cemetery. E. B. Hannegan died in this city and was laid to rest with the pioneers of ohl in the quiet burying spot. Mr. Hannegan was a prominent figure at Washington during the early history of the state. Great men, however, have only to die to be forgotten in this world of activity. The memory of a man who served his state in the national halls of legislation should be revered and a suitable monument should mark the last resting place of his dust.” LOOK HERE 'Triends, comrades and others who .
