A pleasant dance was held in Bender’s opera house on Thanksgivingevening. The attendance was fair. Music was furnished by the Walkerton orchestra. The New Orleans University Students, a colored troupe of singers and comedians, played to a fair house in Bender’s opera house Wednesday evening. The troupe has considerable talent but is rubbing up against adverse circumstances. Thanksgiving services were held in the U. B. church at 11 a. m., Rev. C. B. Gillette delivering an able sermon. There was a good attendance and the services were very interesting. The poor were not forgotten, and a collection of about six dollars was taken in the congregation to help those in need. The Y. P. S. C. E. desire to express their thanks to the editor of the Inde-

pendent, also to Mrs. W. A. Endley, I’. L. Fitzgerald, Mr. Vincent, Noah Rensberger and all others taking part in the march or helping with the supper or in decorating. Also to the mothers who devoted so much’ time to the costumes and to the public for the generous manner in which they were treated. THE CARNIVAL OF STATES. The carnival given by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church iu Bender’s opera house last Tuesday evening was a most interesting and pleasant event. The costumes representing the different states of the Union w r ere gotten up with much taste and ingenuity. The grand march was an entertaining and picturesque affair, each costume representing very aptly the state for which it was the insignia. Vocal and instrumental music was interspersed through the program. At the close of the regular exercises a nice supper was served in the back part of the hall. The attendance was good and the receipts very satisfactory. Owing to crowded space we are unable to give the mimes of those who took part and the state represented by each, as we had intended to do. Cha* Sassaman Struck by a Train. The report was circulated on the streets Friday morning that. Charles Sassaman had been knocked off the track and killed by a B. & O. train on Thursday evening. Investigation, however, proved that, the report was exaggerated, as news came from Garrett Friday morning that it was thought by the doctor that Mr. Sassaman was not seriously hurt. The accident happened about a mile east of this place. At this point No. 14, a fast train, due here at 5:45 p. m., struck Sassamam, who was walking on the track, bruising him up considerably and cutting his hand. The train was stopped and Sassaman picked up and carried to Garrett where he was put in charge of a physician. Operator Joe Fitzgerald received word over the wires from Bremen as soon as the train ar- • rived there apprising him of the acci-

dent, the telegram stating that Sassaman was not seriously hurt. Sassa - man’s escape from instant death seems almost miraculous, but it is thought that the train was running slowly at the time of the accident, or lie would have been killed. The engine, it is stated, had been running under schedule time all the way from Wellsboro owing to a lack of steam. How Sassaman happened to be walking on the track that far from town at that time in the evening is a mystery which no one seems able to answer. Sassaman is an employe on the B. & 1 O. road, being a passenger brakeman, and is said to be a good railroap man. ,

- DEATH’S SUMMONS. Answered by the Following Walkerton People During the Past Few Days. Cornelia R. Landon-Ball. Cornelia R. Landon was born in Burlington, Vermont, Aprill, 1831. With her parents she came to Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1845, and was married to Thomas L. Ball Dec. 24, 1854, and came to LaPorte, Ind., to live until within the last few months, when she camo to Walkerton. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. A. Wolfe, Nov. 27, of consumption, aged 62 years, 7 months aud 26 days. She . is survived by one daughter and three sons, also a sister and a brother. She 1 survived her husband three years and died on the anniversary of his burial. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, a faithful wife, a loving mother ana a valued friend. A long and use fu®ife is ended, but our loss is her ’ ehpnalgaiu. Funeral services were from the residence of T. A. w3tto at 11:30 a. m. on Wednesday, lid®'. Gillette officiating, aud also froln the Episcopal church iu LaPorte on the same day, the remains being buried at the latter place. 1 Thomas Jolly. 1 Thomas Jolly, who died at his home in Walkerton, Nov. 26, 1893, was born in County Wigan, England, June 14, 1818. About the year 1841 he married Rachael Lee; to this union .were born eight children, of whom live are living. Ellen Johns, Elizabeth Dipert, Wm. Jolly and John Jolley reside in Walkerton or vicinity, Sarah Await living in Kansas. Mr. Jolly moved to the Uuited Slates in the year 1846, settling iu Schuylkill county, Pa. In the year 1860 he moved to South Bend, Ind. In 1863 he purchased a farm in Stark county and settled on it. Here iu 1876 his wife died and was buried in Oregon cemetery. In the year 1877 he married Elisabeth Crim who survives him. Shortly after this marriage he moved to Walkerton. Mr. Jolly in the year 1891 paid a visit to his old home in England remaining but a short time, aud he has ever since stoutly main taint'd that this country in every particular was preferable to that. Mr. Jolly was a man of strong and positive convictions of what was right. He dared to live aud practice what he believed was his duty.

ing«o the Divine com maud, “Lovo ye on/^uother.” J LULU BRADEN. Lulu Braden was born in Commanche county, Texas, March 30, 1877, and died Nov. 28, 1893, after a wasting illness of a few months. She was first attacked with typhoid fever with which she lay at the point of death for some days, but rallying, she was convalescing when inflammatory rheumatism set in, crippling her for several weeks and just us the latter disease was brought under control, consumption set in aud the weakened little frame that bad fought so bravely before, now had no strength to resist aud fell a quick victim to the greedy destroyer. The same unselfish and lovable disposition that had always made her such a favorite with all who knew her, predominated in her illness. She had a sweet smile for everyone and thought, not of her own suffering, but of the grief of those who loved her and would bear the most intense pain without murmuring, lest the knowledge of her suffering should add to their grief. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Stockbarger at the M. E. church on Thursday. It was a congregation of mourners. The floral offerings were flue. Among them were sixteen beautiful roses—one for each year of her young life—from the Epworth League aud from the grammar department of the Walkerton schools a targe design, gates ajar, made of chrysanthemums and roses. Her loss , is deeply deplored, and why so innocent a young life should be taken is one of the mysteries of Providence — ’ sad mysteries to which all must bow. i i Chop feed, consisting of corn and oats, $ 1 a hundred, at Mercer dr Meal’s.
