mouth and will probably locate there. Ed Morris and his brother Will, took a load of pickels to Goshen last week.

The fair at Plymouth seems not to be very well attended from this place. Those who were at the world’s fair care nothing for these little fairs. The school at this place seems to be too much crowded for only two teachers. They can not do justice to so many. An additional teacher is needed. We have the room and it ought to be occupied.

LOCAL BRIEFS. The tax-collector made Walkerton a visit last Monday. John Morgan is vending oil and gasoline and reports doing a fair business. The Bremen fair was, according to the Enquirer, quite a success. The attendance was good and the races interesting. — Bremen is figuring for a north and south railroad from Benton Harbor, Mich., connecting with the Nickle Plate at Mentone. The Swedish Lutheran conference, embracing Indiana, Illinois and portions of Michigan and Wisconsin, convened at LaPorte, Wednesday. The starting of a new German weekly and English daily, to take the places of the defunct Journal and Star, is contemplated at LaPorte. A ball game was played outside of the corporation limits last Sunday between North Liberty and Walkerton nines. The score was 21 to 14, in favor of Walkerton. The town was crowded with people last Saturday and our business men enjoyed an unusually good trade. It seemed like one of Walkerton's oldtime Saturdays before the panic. A public sale will be held Wednesday,Oct. 11, by William J. Morris at his place of residence on the Silas George farm, 3| miles southeast of Walkerton. Horses, cattle, farming implements, etc., will be sold. J. W. H. Farver and family left on Wednesday for their new home near New Bedford, Coshockton county, Ohio, where Mr. Farver has a farm of 150 acres. Mr. Farver sold his farm Shehneinan. IX ives, if you see that your husbands are being destroyed by the tobaco, liquor or opium habit, get Hill’s Cloride of Gold Tablets. Administered in tea or coffee, they are imperceptible and a speedy, permanent cure. All druggists sell them. The Woodward Bros., the well known mint growers, east of town, have had quite a successful season this year. They had 125 acres under cultivation. The mint crop was quite light hereabouts this year, but it was unusually rich in oil, which made up for the short yield.—Mishawaka Enterprise. The presence of autumn suggests the following exquisite little verse from Whittier: “Gaily chattering to the clattering Os the brown nuts downward pattering, Leap the squirrels, red and gay. On the grass land, on the fallow, Drop the apples, red and yellow. Drop the russet pears and mellow, Drop the red leaves all the day." Some wild-eyed individual circulated a lot of hand-bills at Plymouth recently announcing that a big Catholic uprising was to take place on a certain date. Protestants were to be killed off and the country captured by the Catholics. The uprising failed to come off at the appointed time, but the circulars succeeded in frightening many timid people, just the same. The following is said to be a good way to test well water to see whether it is pure and fit for drinking purposes as against typhoid fever. Draw a quantity from the well and place it In a glass jar, empty into the water a tablespoon of granulated sugar and stir till dissolved. Then set away for forty-eight hours; if at the end of that time the water is milky or cloudy it Is not fit for use; if clear, it is pure and may be used with safety. An exchange says: Lookout for a raid of thieves, burglars and safebreakers. It is a fact that a successful robbery like that of the train in Noble county, this state, leads to a succession of others, and they have followed rapidly, since that event. After these greater and bolder efforts, the small thief enters the ring, and breaks into houses, in the hope of picking up small articles, jewelry, watches, etc., with no objection to money. Load your revolver; have it ready, and shoot with intent to kill, if you find any of these chaps invading your premises.

Beal, & McCarty respectfully request all wh< owe them to call and settle immed ately. They must get their affairs settled at once, and would ask those whom they have accommodated in the past to show their appreciation of favors rendered by making prompt settlement. The Mishawaka Enterprise says: “There has been quite a good yield of peaches on the few remaining trees in this vicinity this year, and it ought to encourage farmers to resume the culture of the luscious fruit once more. Many years ago peaches were a certain crop and yielded enormously.” The Mentone Gazette correctly observes: “When you see a newspaper bragging of its own town and booming her for all she is worth, look at the advertising columns of that paper and see if the boom is solid and substantial or mere hollow mockery. The editorial columns may deceive, but the advertising will not.” To see the world's fair and walk through the buildings the grand total is something in excess of 118,OX) feet, or nearly twenty-three miles.

The Dispatch says the crop of cranberries on the Blair marsh near Michigan City has all been harvested and does not exceed 800 bushels. This is less t ian half a crop, and as the. same eondi ions exist in other places it is probable that the price of berries will be m^ch higher than usual this year. The average price is about $2-50 per bushel and even with a short crop the yield, will bring the Blairs about $2,000. The Pioneer Abolitionist. It Is not generally known that a marine slab in the burying ground in Jackson township, Porter county, marks the grave of Chas. Osborn, from whose pen came the first pamphietjever written advocating the abolitioi of slavery in the United States. He ngaged in the organization of man imission societies, whose object wasjto free the slaves by purchase or othe wise. He enjoyed the friendshipjof both Clay and Webster, who regarded him highly. A movement is now!on foot to rear a monument over his Resting place.—Michigan City Dispat4‘-

Mercer & Neal are selling the best grades of flour at $1.70 per hundred. Don’t forget that you can buy envelopes by the box cheap at this office. Ida Beach has received new fall millinery goods, and invites the ladies to call in and see her. Trade will doubtless soon begin to pick up, and it is now time to prepare to put your fall ad in the Independent. A number of railroads are paying off their employes with checks. They are afraid to send out the pay car with money since the recent robberies. An exchange says swindlers are offering farmers $2 for the privilege of posting show bills on their farms. The farmers are called upon to sign receipts afterward turning up as notes calling for SSO and SIOO.
