A cordial invitation is extended to every one to attend the LincMn township Sunday school convention to be held in the Presbyterian church Saturday, Oct. 14. A program of the exercises is published elsewhere in this paper. The semi-anual convention of the Epworth League of the South Bend district was held at Kewanna on Tuesday and Wednesday, and a large attendance of members throughout the district is reported. The program included essays, discussions and addresses. The Walkerton League was represented by Ray Vincent. The latest in regard to the ThreeEye railroad is that representatives of that road have recently been in the vicinity of Elkhart and Goshen prospecting for bonuses relative to the extension of their line from Knox. The * Independent gets this news pretty i straight, and it comes from a contractor employed on the Dalliu road being built northward from Nappanee. He may be mistaken, however. At least, it is best not to put much credence In any Three-Eye news’ that one may hear. The October term of the St. Joseph circuit court convenes Monday, Oct. 9. The docket contains about 327 cases.

This may be true in a general sense, but the saying can not apply to those places which possess a half dozen or so of live gossips. Great interest is being taken in the coming Sunday school convention to be held in this place Saturday, Oct. 14. A good program has been arranged and the occasion will no doubt prove a pleasant and beneficial one to all Sunday school workers who may be present. How easy it is for some people to always be referring to some newspaper as having “nothing in it.” They make such remarks principally because they think it makes them appear superior to speak disparagingly of people and things in general. It does not, however, require much intelligence for an individual to be a firstclass fault-finder.

Her upper lip was cut and face badly bruised. Dr. Arlington was called and took several stitches in her lip and administered to her other injuries. Mrs. Wright is getting along well at present. The Elkhart Review says it is asserted that the train robbers of this country are organized in a sort of trust, and that the net proceeds of the hauls they make are divided equally among them. In case one of the gang is caught and sent to the penitentiary, his pay does not stop. On the contrary, his proportion of all the stealings of his pals during the time are set aside for him, and when he becomes a free robber again, he has a handsome stake to go on. A large audience greeted the re-ap-pearance of the Nusbaum family, at Bender’s opera house, on last Monday evening. Charming Miss Rose was suffering from a severe cold so as to be unable to fill her solo part of the performance, which was a great disappointment to those assembled, yet, under the circumstances, they all did their best and gave a very pleasing entertainment. Their voices harmonize sweetly in their quartettes, and they enter heartily into the spirit of their songs. Eight year old Master Otis is a musical wonder. The champion cf se of absentmindedness is that of a university professor who invited a few friends at dinner aad when they arrived began to shake hands with them, pass them back their overcoats and bid them good night. Their strange looks while he was going through this ceremony at last brought him to a realization of the fact that they were coming instead of departing guests.—Ex. A case of absent-mindedness happened in tins place several years ago that was about as bad as the above. A physician, of this place, who was treating a patient in the country, requested that some relative of the sick man call at his office for a prescription. When the man called and asked for the medicine the docter gravely directed him to go and get two joints of stove-pipe. The above is told as an actual occurrence, and the physician who figured in it was an old gentleman of fine intelligence and superior ability.

When driving along the Goshen road the end of the spring seat on which , Robert was sitting, gave way and he was thrown over the side of the wagon to the ground.

atbiT tnngm. He gave one iu Miss Platts’ room in reduction of fractions Using toy money. In Miss Rose Nichols’room he gave a lesson in addition of fractions using objects—a turnip and tin measures, He also con ducted a recitation in reading in Miss Gallagher’s room. In the afternoon to another class in Miss Gallagher’s room he gave a lesson in phonics. Miss Lou's little ones were treated to a picture language lesson. We understand that from time to time as opportunity offers he visits his assistants at their work, occasionally making suggestions. We like this style of a principal and wish that it were possible for him to do more of this kind of work. At the township institute that meets at the high school on Saturday next we are told that our principal intends giving a model lesson to a class of children. The subject is the uninteresting one of finding the least common multiple and greatest common divisor in arithmetic. The teachers of the institute are always pleased to see visitors.
