GRO VERTOWN. Julius Goppert reports seeing cherry trees in blosom last Saturday while going to Plymouth. We are laboring under the impression that the weather since last Sunday hasn’t been just so very healthy for those potatoes and so forth that you planted on Good Friday. Farmers in this vicinity have postponed sowing their oats and such for an indefinite period, owing, I suppose, to the unfavorable condition of the weather. 'The crop of candidates is ripe once more aud you don’t have to go o^ and gather them in either, they harvest themselves. J. M. Clark and Win, Mayer, of the firm of J. M. Clark & Co., of Louisville, Ky., were here looking after their business interests last Monday. Mr. Mayer, who heretofore has been only an employee of the company as superintendent of their branch works at this place, is now a largely interested stockholder and has been promoted to general manager of the entire concern . The coming season will note many improvements in the brining house at this place in the way of increasing their capacity, etc. Rev. Kegg closed bis series of meetings here last Tuesday evening; the effort was attended with only moderate sn ccess. In the election of Sabbath school officers last Sunday Seward Rinehart was re-elected superintendent; Joseph Wylaud was chosen assistant; Ed Gayman, secretary; Frank Yeager, treasurer; E. E. Davis, librarian, etc. The school is in good condition and making good progress. Chase. HAMLET. J. M. Kiser, of Plymouth, agt. for I ( the Union National Savings and Loan association organized a local board here last week. 'Mrs. Dan Barber, of Hanna, has been visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. U. Brown, for a few days. The 'Misses Mann are opening a millinery and dressmaking establishment in the Eberle building. Success to them. A fine boy came last Saturday to live with Charles Barbknicht aud wife. Knox and North Judson seem to realize Hamlet’s influence, judging from the way their citizens flock in here asking political favors. Another dredging company have unloaded their machinery here and will soon commence dredging between here and Davis. Their ditch is to be fourteen feet wide, and to cross the Robbins dredge ditch nearly at right angles. Dock Jolly has more geese than anybody. He makes them out of tin to fool wild ones. Frank Allen, who has been afflicted with fits for several years, has entirely lost bis reason, and does not talk or try to do so. Jake Eberly says he has struck something better than building and loan associations, and is going to build a business room 60 feet deep, two stories , high with a hall in the second story. Hit it again, Jake. J Dr. Moore says it is hard work to < practice medicine and do justice to the ] drug business at the same time, and he f would accept of a suitable partner in the drug trade, and build a new store room so as to carry a larger stock, or will sell the drug stock and give his whole attention to the practice of medicine. For anybody wishing to engage in the drug business it is a fine chance. The big dredge commenced work on the Robbins ditch Wednesday. HANNA. Co weather is pretty hard on the garden and early potatoes. Mrs. D. M. Barber was visiting her grandparents at Hamlet the first of the week. The W. C. T. U. will meet at Mrs. Ed Smith’s Wednesday afternoon. There will be a hard times supper at the school house Wednesday evening. Admission 10 cents. D. M. Barber was in Starke Co. last Wednesday looking after the cream business. He reports it as being very fair. The funeral of Charley Kern was preached last Sunday. The young man died with diphtheria. Buck Stanley will be here the first week in April to organize a Good Templars lodge.
WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY,

Jacob Schlosser, of South Chicago, Henry, of Bremen, and Philip, of Wanatah, were here last Saturday looking after the interest of the creamery. They are well pleased with the way the creamery is managed. O. F. S. LA PAZ. There is quite a snow storm raging, it amounts to almost a blizzard. There was considerable excitement in town yesterday. Some of the North Dakota emigrants had their goods attached by ere -s, but they all got away at l« r t 'pnsiderable trouble and anxiety. Fred Myers is on the sick list with typhoid malarial fever.

He sued out an attachment against Jake Long's goods, but the suit ended in a compromise. Mr. Long agreeing to pay the cost of the suit, and keeping his land in North Dakota, in bis own name and promising to pay the debt as soon as he would feel able. Frank Long also got into trouble. Two of his horses were taken to Plymouth by the deputy sheriff. He claimed the horses were sold and he got the money for them. The gentleman who claimed he had bought the horses went with Frank to Plymouth, where there was to be a trial, but it was postponed until Friday. The car which contained his goods was left on the sidetrack when the train left. The families of the two gentlemen went with the other emigrants. W e learn that the above gents came back last evening and hurriedly drove to Walkerton where Frank got money of his wife and then returned to Plymouth and paid up and got his horses. The car will leave today. The schools of this place closed with a splendid entertaiufnont on last Friday afternoon in the public hall. Each of the teachers received a fine present of a large portrait in a splendid frame, which hail been enlarged in Chicago unknown to them. Their surprise was great when the pictures were presented to them by your correspondent. They also received other fine presents. Mr. Bondurant received a tine crazy quilt. Both teachers were highly esteemed by the pupils and patrons. Miss Laura Boss, teacher of the primary department, was almost worshiped by her pupils. This was her second term in this place, and it is hoped she will teach here again during the next school year. Will Shetland has made several nice improvements around his premises.
