Joseph Demiin, a swarthy looking individual carrying two packs in which he had notions, nicknacks, etc., for sale, dropped into the Independent office last Saturday, and in very poor English made himself known.

A see the world’s fair and had been in ; this country three months. He was on his way to Plymouth and said he would return to Chicago in a few clays.

The Cosmopolitan magazine and the Walkerton Independent for $2.25 a year. Ohl subscribers paying this amount will be given credit for a year's subscription to the Independent and receive this leading American magazine for one year. Don't miss this rare oiler, A fellow who had been criticised by his local editor applied to a lawyer to know how he should go to work to break up the paper. He was advised to buy tire paper and run it six months and was cl arged two dollars for the advice.—Ex. An aged couple of small means over in South Bend had a new’ residence erected by a contractor. They paid him in full, but he failed to pay his employees an I according to an Indiana law they tiled mechanic’s lien on the property for their pay and the house will have to be sold. South Bend ought to be made hot for that con tractor. Goshen News. On last Tuesday the new postmaster, Attorney S. J. Nicoles, h ok charge of the offiv., the old incumbent, Edson Goit, retiring. The 1 sdepenw n i can say with a good conscience that Mr. Goit has made a faithful, accom modating official, ami we have reason to believe that the new postmastei will uiscmu^e tm ..r »i,., faithfully and with good sabstaetion to his constituency. The press generally is asked to give a description of Bay Elliot, a little f„ui year old hoy, supposed to have been abducted from his parents at Marengo, la., on the 12th of last May by a band of gypsies or other roving people, lb has white hair, cut short at the time of his disappearance, light eomplexiom blue eyes, face considerably freckled, wore a gray dre.^s, black plush cap. and shoes out at the toes. Knows his name well ami will give it if not intimidated by l.is abductors. Send any information to E. E. Al verton, mayor of Marengo, lowa. The majority of our citizens and business men w«uld no doubt be in favor of, and lend substantial encouragement to, the project of establishing a race track and fair grounds in this place were the right parties to take hold of the matter and work for it in the proper spirit. The benefits that would accrue to the town by having such an enterprise would be great, as everybody knows, and when the small capital that would be required to start such an enterprise is taken into consideration, there is no reason under the sun why this place can not be enjoying the fruits of a race track and

a nice little agricultural fair every fall. Walkerton being the business center it is, with a wide tributary country surrounding it, is just the place for a fair grounds. Those who would subscribe stock to such an enterprise would be running no risk to speak of, as their investment would be mostly in the land purchased for the grounds, and this, in case the undertaking should prove a failure, which is not likely, would be good for itself. Towns with less population and fewer advantages than ours are holding successful fairs every season, and of course we could do the same. A c know of laud suitable for such a purpose, and located near town, that could be leased or purchased at a reasonable figure. The Independent, having the welfare of Walkerton at heart, would like to see some little enterprise or a public nature manifested, and suggests that the above mentioned scheme would be a good one for the citizens to take hold of, and with a reasonable amount of effort there is , ■ no doubt but that it could be made to succeed.

A gasoline stove was being tilled and the gasoline running over took lire from the lighted jet, causing quite a blaze. An alarm was given and with prompt help the lire was put out before any damage of consequence resulted. Elwood McDaniel while cutting a brush for his horse last Thursday morning cut his right hand severely with a sharp pocket knife.
