stay with him. Several weddings here of late. The Hamlet Hay Company are just turning the earth up side dc\vn and making some valuable farm land out of some of the swamps west of here. Dr Moore is having a very nice practice, although he has only been here since the sth of May, but was at one time associated with Dr Arlington in the practice of medicine. He has quite an acquaintance in the direction of Walkerton, and is fast becoming acquainted all over this section and forming many friends* Hamlet is to have a big time the 4th. There will be a basket picnic in the grove. All come and bring your basketsand have a good time. There will be music, speeches, recitations and reading of the Declaration of Independence. Byway of amusement there will be swings and various games. The ladies of the M. E. church will also run a refreshment stand where you can get bananas, oranges, lemons, hot coffee or tea, iced tea, lemonade and ice cream. TYNER CITY. We will have some news next week that will make you open your eyes. Don’t forget to look at the Tyner items. John Wolfe and Tom Stack went to LaPorte to work on a farm. Will Snyder went to Stilwell to work. Young Jim Reede is talking of starting a bank hero in 'l'vnnr. His capital ■ ^wwq>osed of cracKers ami dried herring. Jap Smith and Israel Haag caught three bushels of sun fish Tuesday. Who can beat that. The butcher shop is running in full blast. Be<f steak from five to ten cents. People having stock to sell will do well to call on A. D. Johnson, Tyner City. Will Wallace, of Kingsbury, was in town Saturday. Dave Winget is tending bar for A. D. Johnson and Wm. Clark is working in the butcher shop. Bill McKesson and Warren Johnson are putting down a well for George Burger. G. F.

Ed Monroe was in Chicago a part of last week taking in the fair and other sights. Misery, self imposed, must surely be the lot of the chronic kickers, and what

a menace to public improvement also. We have had some experience with t the above named animal, and it causes 1 us to think, and wonder why there is f so little regard paid to the old maxim, ‘•Malice toward none and charity for all.” \\ hen there is a world of truth and religion in every word it contains. Brethren, if we have the true love of Christ within our hearts, will we be small and niggardly in the advancement of his cause? If we were but the “Good moral,” man or woman, would we be guilty of being instrumental in retarding the progress of any good and needful work. Chase. HANNA. Farmers are busy making clover hay. Corn looks splendid. \\ heat will be an excellent crop in this vicinity. The straw berry festival last Saturday evening was a success. Link Rupcl went to Wanatah last Sunday on his wheel.

young friends, IL-Udiux. liar 14 th birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Henry 'Martin and son spent Saturday and Sunday, with rela- | tives in South Bend. Kingfisher. His Maiden Speech. He was a young lawyer and was delivering his maiden speech. He was florid, rhetorical, scattering, and tedious. For two weary hours he talked at the court and jury until everybody felt like lynching him. When he got through, ' his opponent, a grizzled old profession- ■ al. arose, looked sweetly at the judge ■ and said,“Your honor, 1 will follow i ’ the example of my young friend who । has just finished, and submit the case argument.” He then sat , 1, and the young lawyer felt as |h cold water was coming down tack. —Ex.

Local Brief*. The hay crop will be large. Stiff hats still go at one-third off at T. J. Wolfe’s. Buy your summer shoes of T. J. Wolfe. His is the nicest line in town. Malarial fever and its effects quickly give way to Simmons Liver Regulator. The University of Notre Dame heh its forty-ninth this week. I There will be ice creaffl, IdllllJffltU^ and lunch served on the ground at the 1 Basket Meeting at Grovertown, June 25. There will no doubt soon be an overflow of thieves and thugs from the world's fair city to smaller cities and towns. But after the fair is closed look out for a flood. Laporte Herald: It is reported that Studebaker Bros., of South Bend, will close down their wagon works July 1. Men in lots of ten to twenty are being laid off every day. Mercer A Neal are in addition to their grain buying doing a regular exchange business and will exchange hour, brand and feed of all kinds for grain. Thby also handle draining tile. Frank Smith, of Mishawaka, whose wife died several months ago, committed suicide the other day from grief caused by her death. He was a young man of good habits and aged about 35 years. He leaves two small children. The Lake Erie A Western R. R.will sell for the fourth of July excursion tickets between all stations on its line, at the very low rate of one fare for round trip. Tickets will be sold on July 2, 3 and 4, 1893, limited going to date of sale, and good returning up to and including July 5, 1893. It is rumored that the B A O. railroad company has a scheme on foot to connect Goshen, Elkhart, Mishawaka. ends and connecting them witlrtr^^ । A 0. main lit.?. What truth there is in thw report we are not able to state. The members of the ha al board of the National Union Savingsand Loan Association met at the office of Attorney Nicoles on Friday evening. June 16, and held'their annua! election of officers. The following officers were chosen: Chas. Robbins, Pres.; N. B. Shoemaker, V. Pres.; Thompson Turner, Treas.; John Strang, Sec. The affairs of the. board are in good condition, and there has been a satisfactory increase in the membership. The editor of the Knox Democrat rises to the defense of Starke County soil as follows: “From all we can learn on the subject it appears that the wheat crop prospect in Starke county is fully equal to that of adjoining counties. If some of the Pharisees of neighboring counties who are inclined to poke fun at our crops will take a look at some of the wheat fields in this county,(ami they are not better this year than usual) they will probably acquire some entirely new ideas as to the productiveness of Starke county soil.” There are a few people (only a few, thanks for that) in this locality who don't take the Lndependext because they think it is too dear. They have got it into their heads that a country newspaper, whose circulation is confined to a small territory, can be -wA utumn dollar a year, the same as the^ city weeklies, which are only a rehash j .of daily editions. No country publisK-1 er can afford to print a newsy paper* at the low price of a dollar a year, and rather than do so he had better quit the newspaper business and follow some other vocation. The Independent is cheap enough at the present price, and is just as readable as some two dollar papers that we know of. To My Customers and Eriends.

During the Baptist Chatauqua at LaPorte, tourist, rates will be on sale at L, E. & W. ticket office Walkerton to MPortr and return at rate of one and a third fare. Tickets now on sale. The Independent is in receipt of the Wakarusa Tribune, a new paper started at that plade by J. R. Rheubottom A Son. The Tribune is a seven column folio, well filled with news and showing a good local adver- I Using jiatronage. The paper deserves : success. IWinaater Crockett explains theap- I parent falling off in the receipts of the ! SoutA Bend postuffiee. He says the office there is really entitled to an sß,oo© increase. Last year one of their large manufacturing establishments purchased over SB,OOO worth of stamps in a ^Mjcial order for circulars sent to all parts of the world. This big order the office did not receive this year, as the turn sends out the grist only once in tw® years. The general business of special ordenso ‘bat they niuteentitled to about SB,OOO ingeneral receipts. ’ The New Prophet Ezra. Many towns in Indiana are being visited by the new prophet Ezra, who | announces his coming by writing postal | cards to newspapers and others as fol- i lows: Heaven, 43, 6,7. And my song is a good song, and my way of setting up my kingdom on the earth is a good way and it is a wise and discreet way and it is a lovely way because it is my way. How many nations would fall on their knees and kiss the ground and shed tears of joy and embrace each other in rapture to have the kingdom of heaven set up in their midst. And yf tried to break mv faith, to ruin me; and yon couldn’t do it for I am on a good foundation and upon a rock. And my song is a great song. United States, Heaven. Ezra.

Sick Headache cured by Dr. Miles’ Nervine. Is Life Worth Living? That depends upon the Liver. If the Liver is inactive the whole system is out of order—the breath is bad, digestion \ pcv*, Read Gull or aching, ^■■^Jiergy and hopefulness "^^one, the spirit is depressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency ?' d the 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 k n O w that for Dyspepsia, fiihousness and Throbbing Headache, it is the best medicine the world ever saw. Have tried forty ■ other remedies before Simmons Liver 1 Regulator. and none of them gave more than temporary relief, but the Regulator r not only relieved but cured. , H. H. Jones, Macon, Ga,
