McDuffie, Prel.; H. S. Dowell, M. at A. The farmers in the neighborhood of the “thick woods” seem to be among the favored few. D. L. Johnson says that his wheat will run about 20 bushels to the acre, and that the crop generally in that locality is quite good. Noah Shoemaker was feeling pretty jubilant last Tuesday over some good news. Ue invested SIOO about eight weeks ago in the Jessop silver and gold mine in Colorado, and has received word that his stock has increased in value to SI,OOO. Tank Bros, are preparing for the huckleberry campaign. They will commence handling berries in dead earnest about July 5. Grant will take a leave of absence from his job on the road for a month or so to look after the berry interests. The Ligonier Leader touches happily and correctly upon a streak of human nature as applied to the average individual of the masculine gender, as follows: “A man will burn his fingers lighting a cigar with a peice of paper, and make no fuss about it, but when his wife asks him to set the tea kettle over, and he takes hold of • the warm handle, he is mad enough to shipwreck the kitchen.” Prof. Poster predicts a storm wave in the great central valleys from July 1 to 3 and the eastern states about the 4th. This disturbance will be at its greatest force July 4th and sth on the Atlantic coast. The rainfall for the week will be about an anverage of the 1 corresponding weeks of other years. Awa rm wave will cross the western J mountains about June 29th, the great : central valleys about July Ist and the J eastern states about the 3d. A cool l 1 wave will cross the western mountains ’ ’ about July 2d, the great central valleys : about the 4th and the eastern states about the 6th. The Independent is favored with a handsome illustrated souvenir of the Studebaker manufacturing company, of South Bend. The magnitude of the firm’s business is shown by handsome illustrations of the factories as a whole, ‘ together with the various departments ' and many of their finest and most i celebrated vehicles. The book is a ) work of art mechanically, and is well worthy of preservation. Although the Studebakers are the largest manufacturers of wagons and buggies iu the world they have never been too pulled up to use printer’s, ink and they show their firm faith in it by a persistent and liberal use of it in the way of circulars, catalogues and through the medium of the newspapers.

The Walkerton Milling Co. takes no back seat in making the best flour brought into the market. Every sack warranted. The boys were out with mandolins and guitars Wednesday night, and the writer acknowledges a delightful serenade from them. I Don’t go to LaPorte for flour when you can buy the best on earth from your grocer at home. Ask them for the Walkerton Milling Co.’s flour. Those wishing nice, clean, pleasant rooms in Chicago during the .world’s fair can obtain them at 407 N. Clark street. Mrs. M. Holmes. The American representative at the ' international beauty show on the Mid- ( way Plaisance is said to be a blushing maiden from the rural districts cf La- , Porte county. Reports from the Michigan City prison say that W. Fred Pettit, the wife murderer, is in a very precarious condition. A surgical operation was performed on him recently, and it is thought that his recovery is doubtful. The prison officials seem to think that he will not live to hear the supreme court's decision. Huckleberries are being brought to this market. The season has been very favorable for their growth and there will be an abundant crop in the small marshes. They are a little earlier than usual this year. (Those of our exchanges which always seem to manifest such an absorbing interest in huckleberries will please copy.) Attorney S. J. Nicoles, postinasterelect, has received his bond, secured the proper number of bondsmen, and returned the paper to the postmastergeneral at Washington. He is t xpecting his commission every day, a id the probability is that the new postmaster will take charge of the office during the fore part of this month. Mr. Goit, the retiring postmaster, will follow his old trade of painting, this summer, having already secured a number of jobs in advance which he will get at as soon as he is out of the office. There is always a strong temptation, says an exchange, for an editor of a newspaper to write in such away as to secure somebody’s disapproval of what lie says, to “pitch in” to somebody or to run hard against somebody's cherished views. He is then sure to hear from what he says, and he very seldom hears from any other kind of writing. He may write handsome things and approved things and he will never find out whether anybody lias read them or not. Except for the fault finders he would inevitably conclude that no one ever reads an editorial. Therefore, welcome fault finders. MARRIED. A pleasant matrimonial event was the marriage of Mr. Edward Narrigan and Miss Iva L igherty on last Thursday at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dougherty, of this place. At 2:30 o’clock, in the presence of only the immediate relatives, the contracting parties were united in the bonds of wedlock by Rev. S. W. Goss. The rooms were nicely decorated and the pleasant home bore a cheerful and attractive appearance. Following the ceremony all sat down to a fine dinner. A number of nice presents from relatives were given the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Narrigan will visit with his folks near North Liberty a day or so and they will then return to this place to remain over Sunday. On Monday they will go to South Bend, where they | will immediately go to housekeeping ;in a home which the groom has all ready furnished for their use. i The bride is a member of the VI. E. i church and Epworth League and 1 has always been a worthy and efficient ' member of these organizations, being ' held in high esteem by her associates and all who know' her. The groom is i a steady and industrious young man and is employed at his trade—harness making -in South Bend. They have : the best wishes of their many Walker|ton friends.

The Review of Reviews says in the ' June number, “A woman in California, last year made over $2,700 on fruit raising. Another lady bought land for $75 per acre and her laud is now j worth $2,000 per acre. F. M. Nivens j says that bis flge yielded him SI,OOO pci mro. J H Dore says ku trees net him s7ll per acre' The California Land and Water Exchange, of Dav ton, Ohio, have the name of 90 persons who have after one year's purchase received sums as high as SSW profit. They give you 5 acres of land free, if you will help pay for water andinigat ing it. On these 5 acres they give a j written guarantee to plant, cultivate, pay the taxes, and each year pay you S2OO profit as your half raised on the land. They have as their purchasers doctors, judges, widows, orphans and clergymen. They give you free return ticket to go to California on the harvest of any crop. They will plant the land this year and pay you a profit next year. I They give references from banks, news papers and officers in Dayton. Last ; year the same manager paid $6,000 to persons who bought the year before. This land with irrigation, will grow oranges, figs, lemons, olives, in fact, ; any fruit that is grown iu any portion ! of the world. They only sell 5 acres and hold the other 5 acres themselves —they do not make any charge for the land. Your first payment is $2. If you send $2 they will send the necessary * papers and then you can pay $1 per ! month for a short time—depending how much is wanted. Ex-President Harrison speaks very j highly of California; ex Secretary J. Rusk and ex-Postmaster General Wannamaker, during their visit to California speak very highly iiyits favor. If you remit $2, the first payment, you will get into the 1893 planting and 1894 profit list, as they pay » profit in December of next ... not let the opportunity ißßUl " e ' ly a great opening for <* person who wants a lasting in com J without any risk. You do not havej to go on the land, they take care ofwt for 20 years. It is near railroad, leve,!, in the eastern position of San Dingo Co. California land bought to-day will, with irrigation, be worth SSOO in three years to come. A Californian.

The concern will guarantee to employ from 100 to 125 hands the year round. Three acres of land will be required for the factory buildings, which will be very large and substantial.
