The Presbyterians held a social at the residence of T. J. Wolfe on Thursday evening. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed, and an interesting program of a musical and literary character was given. The LaPorte Herald of last week heads its account of the boxing between Cook, of this place, and ^eher, of LaPorte, with the words, “Neherthe victor.” He was near the victor but not Neher the victor. The South Bend Tribune of Saturday, April 7, says: ‘‘At the congregational meeting at Trinity Presbyterian church last evening a unanimous call was extended to Rev. O. L. Prentice to the permanent pastorate ] of the churgh. During the past two • y«Ars,lrntUng Apr in, L‘

filled the pulpits of Trinity church and the Presbyterian church at Rolling Prairie, making his home at the latter place. His success has been so marked that the people of Trinity church have certainly been wise in extending the call.” An exchange says that a man who goes to see a girl twice a week, and takes her to places, is legally engaged to her, according to a recent decision, whether he says anything to her about

marriage or not, and she could recover suit for breach of promise. We hope the girls will take advantage of this decision and force the young men to marry them. Young men have a habit of loafing about a girl’s house for years, and then drifting off, without saying a word about marriage. While a young man is loafing around a girl’s house, he probably keeps some one away who would talk business, and the girl is injured in other ways. No one likes to marry a girl who has been the subject of another man’s attentions. She is to apt to be all kissed up-

All work warranted. Goit & Pool. Walkerton must have water works or other good protection against lire soon, if she wishes to escape serious drawbacks in her prosperity. The time has now come for action, and it is evident that a further postponement of this important matter will be fraught with unpleasant consequences.

Nye, Devils Lake, N. 1). If you would increase your happiness and promote your life, forget your neighbor’s faults, says a contem porary. Forget the slander you have overheard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfinding. and give little thought to the cause that provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends, and only remember the good points that make you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels or histories you may have heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday; start out with a clean sheet for to day, and write upon it, for sweet memory's sake, only these things that are lovely and lovable. A social was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Beall, on Monday evening last, by the members of the Epworth League. In addition to the social features of the evening a good program was given, which was as follows: Duet, Misses Minnie and Myrtle Platts; reading, Rev. Stockbarger; duet, Misses Vesta Leibole and Josie Robbins, and impromptu speeches by Messrs. Frank Hostetter and E. Leibole. The former review briefly the career of Ben King, the ‘‘Micln^an bard,” and the latter re-

Miss Bessie Slioeuf-WV the Teague, officiated as chairman or the evening. The guests were pleasantly entertained and the event was a social success. Perhaps never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in public favor as the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has, by adopting progressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all its departments

forced itself into the very front rank , of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this time, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense nor effort to attain his ideal —and he has succeeded. Uncompromisingly Republican on all national issues, The Inter Ocean does I battle for what it believes to be the true faith in a manner that at once commands the attention of the public and respect of all. It can be recom - mended to those who desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper.

If yon want your watch to run right to the second, take it to A. L. Washburne, jeweler, Hotel Fry. The Three I company’s deal with Mr. Kelly, the contractor and capital-

The company, it is said, Is now trying to negotiate its bonds in New York City to go on with the work. W. K. Woodruff, chief engineer of the 3-1, was here again the first of the week on business connected with the 3-1 extension. He went over the

, route from here to Hamlet Tuesday, , If the extension is made it w-ill^ pay about $2,500 into the county tre.wW^ in the way of additional taxes.—Knox Republican. It is to be hoped that the democrats and republicans each will nominate men for the town offices who will be in favor of water works and other local improvements. Men who are liberal

and progressive without being extravagant; men who are economical without being stingy. Walkerton is in need of such men just now. The Goshen News says that at Wakarusa recently, Bert Woodside engaged in a wrestling contest with a companion, when he received a rupture of the bowels, but which did not cause him any inconvenience until on Saturday last about noon, soon after which he laid down, and at seven o’clock that evening he was a corpse. 'The deceased was eighteen years of age. Miss O. H. Millard has received ' goods from Chicago, Fort Wayne and 1 Detroit this spring and will receive 1 new goods every week during the sea- ’ son.

The Indianapolis News says several new books will be placed in the public schools of Indiana at the opening of the term next fall. The slate school commissioners have ordered a revision of the geographies and arithmetics. The writing books and first, second and third readers will also be modified, j These changes will be made without additional expense to school patrons, j as the scholars will take them up only ' as they are promoted from one grade ’ to another. The changes will be made at the expense of the contractors. A horse belonging to John Wallace,; of near this place, died last Wednes-1 day, death resulting from the effects of internal injuries received by a fall. Mr. Wallace on Tuesday led the horse i from the barn and hitched it to a post I when it broke loose and commenced running about in the field. He made several attempts to catch the horse but it kept running and finally slipped i and fell straining itself so seriously ! that its injuries resulted fatally the I following day. The horse was quite a ! good one and Mr. Wallace had just traded it to the Wulfenbarger Bros., intending to bring the animal to town and<urn it over to them on the day the accident occurred. When a girl of sweet sixteen is on the street, says an observing critic, shej has a cute, pert way of tossing her - head as though she owned the earthi and was going to the middle of thel next block to get it. After she is eigln'- !

teen the world she owns is about ak up all hope of getting it. at all. JW the time she is twenty five, poor thing* she has a faint, vague suspicion tb*t there is a great deal of insincerity^

the world, and the thing for her to do. is to get a position and do something useful. After awhile she gets marj ried to a man who is not at all the ' I sort of a man she dreamed of. Then 1 I she concludes she will be better off in s I heaven.

In her arms she held her child which a lady sitting near by caught as the mother was falling. The deceased was a middle aged lady, and it is said was a resident of Walkerton a number of years ago, being the daughter of Mr. DeCamp. Republican Caucus.
