The funeral was conducted by Rev. Snyder on Friday at

10 o’clock a. m. at the U. B. church in Tyner. In nine cases out of ten the better course is if a man cheats you, cease to deal with-hiro^is the advice of a *• lewporary. If he is abusive quit his company and if he slanders you take care to live so that nobody will believe him- No matter who he or she is or how they misuse you the wisest way is to let them alone for there is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs ■with which we meet. Lies unheeded । will die; fires unfanned will die out and quarrels neglected become dull as the now all but extinct volcano. About two dozen men, representing

various railroads, were in this place ( last Friday and Saturday, for the purpose of bidding on the transportation of the colony soon to leave this part of the country for North Dakota. As the colony is quite a large one the roads are anxious to get the bussiness. There will be about five coaches filled with passengers and about thirteen ear loads of freight. The colony is composed of people from the vicinity of Walkerton, Teegarden, Plymouth, Tyner and other points. At this writing it has not been learned whether the contract has been awarded or not

A set of harness belonging to Rev. Snyder was stolen from the barn about five weeks ago. Mr. Snyder succeeded in apprehending the one who stole the harness, Wednesday morning. The fellow at first denied the theft but after being told that he would have to prove his innocence in court he gave in and made a confession. He is a young married man living iu this place. An observing farmer says: “As the time for sowing grass seed is near at hand, we wish to drop a thought t< our fellow farmers. As we will find by experience there is generally more or less breeze stirring, therefore learn to sow left as well as right handed and then sow with the wind if there is any. By alternating your grass seed will be much better, and you can wear a mitten, on your idle hand ami by changing hands prevent your fingers from getting very cold as the) do when one hand d >es all the sowing You can sow mixed seeds much better than with a broad cast. The same applies to sowing oats. We claim originality in this, but it will not cost you anything. Try it. An exchange says that many a man who thinks he could be a journalist stands around and tells how he would be as independent as hog on ice, and call things by their right names; how he would expose corruption in high place; how he would write good common sense, and none of your frivolous, try-to-be funny stuff. The best way to cut off one of those chaps is to get

him to write a sensible article every day for a week. Before the week Is out he is sure to be pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chicken with the pip. If he should have the ability and nerve to carry out his threats he would be found hanging to a lamp post before three cold mornings rolled around. Chief Engineer Woodruff, of the Three I railroad, was here Monday accompanied by a railroad contractor, of New York. The latter represents a ; firm who make a business of constructing railroads, having about $700,000 invested in engines, tools, etc., expressly for that purpose. The object of their visit here was to go

over the surveys of the Three I from Knox to South Bend, with a view to determining the best route over which to build the road, in case it is decided to go on with the work which, according to reports, now seems probable. Engineer Woodruff expressed an i opinion that work on the extension of the road would no doubt commence soon and the route would be from Knox to Hamlet, thence to Walkerton, North Liberty and South Bend. It is reported that the Three I company have succeeded in negotiating their bonds.

A “Jack the Grabber” has shown up in Walkerton. He amuses himself by grabbing at ladies on the street aftet dark. Within the past week two ladies have been frightened by this fellow. He grabbed them roughly but immediately relaxed his hold and disappeared. Owing to the darkness his appearance was pretty well concealed, but it could be seen that he was a somewhat heavy-set man with a beard. His field of operations is on Avenue F between the business part of town andl the IL & O. depot. - The I.awrencebtilgh whose editor is also a bw^b* •”3»1 We predict that the man who o w ’ farm will, in five years hence, realize one-third more for it than he can at’ present. Even now, in the midst of what may be called close times fit money, the inquiry for farms is increasing in this part of the country if least. Our exchanges show a larger number of calls for moderate sizid farms than have been noticed tor some years past, while the “for sal«” of farm property are exceptionally few. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to get rid of the old farm, is the idvice we give to young men. Stickio the farm. ’ Public School and Institute Hous. As the bright, warm nays of spang begin to arrive it becomes incumbent upon parents and others having chkrge in anyway of our young people to not ; relax their efforts to keep them ‘ reg- j ularly in school until the very l»«t day ' of the term.

Hart at that place who possesses phenomenal strength. Hie Herald says he can lift a barrel of water with his little finger that an ordinary man cannot raise with both hands. He repeatedly broke a seveneighth iron chain simply by raising the muscles on his arm, chest or leg, as the case may be. The links were not opened by means of a poor weld, but the Iron was actually broken. B}>ectators were allowed to bring in i boulders from the street and he would | break them with his fist He also । drove a twenty penny spike into a two inch plank and then removed it i with his teeth. These things he did , without the least deception and to the i utter amazement of every spectator. G ROVERTOWN. 8. A. Uncspber *|>ent the fore part of the week visiting friends iu Fort । Wayne.
