HANNA. 'The next meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be held at the home of Mrs. Loyd. Wm. Grieger is moving into his new house. Wm. and his good wife have a nice home. We noticed about fifty teams drive to the creamery last Monday. They delivered about 10,000 pounds of milk. Misses Amanda Keil and Maggie West are attending normal at Wanatah. The creamery is burning wood nt iin.si.ut on account, of the scarcity of coal. Miss Mattie Terry was visiting friends at Wanatah over Sunday. Thomas Petrick is a candidate for recorder of LaPorte county, subject to the republican county convention. Since the recent heavy showers Hanna is fair to look upon. She is dressed in lovely green and notwithstanding the rain her streets are dry and everything is neat^ud clean. While George Sheaks was on the creamery route last Friday and while stopping at a patron’s to get cream his team became frightened and ran away. George followed after them. It hustled him to keep up. Heverend Harrington, of Wanatah, is holding protracted meeting at this place. He is having good success as twenty six have united with the church of Christ. The Hanna people may be considered a very religious people. Sunday morning there is Sunday school and class meeting at the M. E. church, preaching at the Lutheran church at 10 a. m.; iu the afternoon at 2 o’clock there is Free Methodist service at the school house and the L. T. L. at the M. E. church at 3p. m.; the church of Christ holds service at 6:30; the Junior league at the class room at 7 ;80 and the regular service in the M. E. church by Ke?. Tinkham. I i O. F.

Vink, candidate for treasurer, , was in town a few days ago. W. B. Kyle sold two horses in one day last week. Miss Charlotte Sherwood, who has been an attendent at the Logansport asylum, has returned home for the summer. Ezra Haag and Charles Boon have gone to Michigan. The Tyner correspondent was under the weather last week; that is the reason there were no items from this place. Will try and make up this week. There will be a Sunday school convention at this place Saturday, May 26, at the M. E. church, and on Sunday the M. E. will baptize a large number of their new converts. The baptizing of the Barber class was postponed last Sunday, until Sunday, June 3, on account of the bad weather. Quite a number of Tyner sports were at Plymouth on last Saturday and had a good time. Joseph Burton died at the home of Wm. Hoffman on Monday morning, May 21. The deceased was about 40 , years old. He lias been lingering with ( ——fhnF dFeadful disease, consumption, < for about five years. The funeral was 1 held at the Blissville church on Tues- ! i day at 2 o’clock and the remains were laid to rest in the Blissville cemetery. Wm. Jarrell, of Walkerton, was calling on his many friends of this place Monday. Everybody in town and vicinity is improving the time at fishing at present. F. W. Monroe is driving the hunter wagon at present. Mrs. Knott and daughter, Lydia, have returned to their Tyner home for the summer. Sid Cushman and sister, Callie Sands, of Plymouth, were in town Sunday to see their mother, Mrs. Buffan, who has been sick for a long time. There was a sparring match for ; points at this place on last Saturday । evening, between the constable and the president of the Walkerton bank. The first round was in favor of J. E. ami in the second round it ended, be- t

Andrew Cunningham was in Hamlet Uuesday on business couuected with <h<> nutchiucry trade. Rev. Bates' oldest vi.mi Tien Anderson are on the sick list. Julius Muilini, Jr., lias the frame of his new house up and nearly covered. We understand George Bonar, of Knox, is to move his shoemaking outfit into the barber shop. So Hamlet will have a shoemaker again. Mr. Bonar is not only n shoemaker but a good plasterer and a nice man. The Wesleyans have re-plastered and are now re painting their church, thus making it a very neat little room. The suit between Abner Giffin and Mrs. John Taylor, involving quite a lot of real estate in and adjacent to Hamlet, has been decided in the supreme court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court, thus giving Mrs. Taylor a perfect title. Walter Firestine, of Chicago, is visiting his mother and sister at Hamlet. Doctor Moore has established an agency for the sale of his medicines with the postmaster at Davis, Jake Eberle is putting a new refrigerator iu bis meat market. KNOX. S.A. Robbins, of Walkerton, was here this week visiting his brother, 11. R. Court convened with Judge Burson in the chair. The judge had an attack of foothftclui and went home lenv- I ing A. J. Gould, Esq., on the bench. the Robbins .di tel • *Tbus tl.e water from Clear creek will be confined and run within banks to the Kankakee river in Jackson township. Stark county. The length of the Robbins ditch is now over 16 miles. The dredgomeu are making in distance from -15 to 50 rods every 24 hours. The drainage reclaims over 40,000 acres of land. The marshes are generally underlaid with clay. Judge Bybee, of the North Judson News, attended court on Tuesday. He is frequently mentioned in connection with the next race for judge. Mrs. Wm. Ammons bad a severe attack of nervous prostration which lasted for several days. She lias recovered and is again on duty in her store. The wife of Schuyler Thomas took her two year old boy to Indianapolis to be treated for a paralytic stroke. The boy was helped, but Mrs. Thomas was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs and died. She was buried here on Wednesday. Deceased was an amiable woman, and her untimely demise is a general bereavement. There is no small pox in Stark Co. Jacob Julian, of Indianapolis, was one of the attorneys iu attendance at court this week. There is a small docket for this term of court. The engineers of the Three I were here looking to the interest of the extension. They propose to have the dredge that is now north of Hamlet j build a grade for them across the marsh in sections 3 and 4, Oregon township. GRO VERTOWN. Mrs. Peter Walsh and Mrs. R. S. Walsh are visiting friends in Chicago this week. A. J . Uncapher spent the latter part of last week doing business in Chicago. Supervisor Sam Uncapher had twelve head of cattle and one horse iu ■ the pound last Monday. People will soon learn to keep their stock up. Denato Deßosa is building a fine brick house having the foundation already laid. Warren Rust is doing the carpenter work. ■ Peter Walsh is building a fine bank | barn 30 by 50 feet iu dimensions. Sam ! Dipert is doing the carpenter work. Jacob Wirth, of Chicago, having ' i moved on his farm just north of town, | ' and being an experienced barber, has ! I opened a shop iu this place, and will be I iin his place of business Wednesdays I

and Saturdays of each week. Give him a call. It is reported that small-pox has reached a point only four miles below Burr Oak, being fourteen miles from this place; the victim at that place having died and the family could get no one to bury him; the family wrapped him in sheets and lowered him to the ground from a window, and succeeding in getting him a short distance from the house dug a hole and thus buried him. Rev. Kegg has been forbidden to hold services at his three lower appointments, they being just across Yellow river. Samuel Carr, liar, thief bogus insurance agent, bigamist, and general crook, after having succeeded in victimizing about forty farmers south of this place about four miles, has fled the country. His game was to insure a man’s life for any amount desired, at the rate of ten dollars premium for one thousand dollars insurance, the insured having the privilige of an advance ul any amount desired, by giving a mortgage on his farm, and paying six per cent interest on the amount advanced, and at the death of insured the jmlicy holder receives the balance (if there is any) and the canceled mortgage; but the premium must be paid iu advance. Among those left behind to mourn his departure, is his fourteen year old wife, who was induced to marry the scoundrel by her parents, through Carr representing himself as a very wealthy man; he had much to say about his beautiful and pnxluc^e farm iu lowa, (which his father in law was making preparations to go to and take charge of), baa an extraordinary fine fruit farm in California, and numerous other possessions iu different parts of the west. He was aiamt forty pears of ago, light complexion, blue eyes, about 5 feet six inches in height, light colored mustache and early hair. Look out for him. ■ “ tins. . LiM <l. IIRIEFS. Fresh bread daily at the Star bakery. When you want n good cigar call for the Free Press at the Star bakery. For low prices and good quality the wall paper at Endley's takes the lead. C. W. N. Stephens wants your wool. He is paying the highest market price for it. The W. R. U. will serve ice cream iu the afternoon and evening in G. A. R. hall on Decoration day. Those wishing work done in the line of paper hanging, decorating or house painting should call on J. J. Miller & Son. The Walkerton schools practically close this week. Two or three of the rooms will hold over for a few days to make up for lost time. The family of the late Joshua Lancaster hereby return their sincere thanks to the friendsand neighbors who so kindly rendered aid during their recent bereavement. After Decoration day it will be next in order to commence making arrangements to hold a grand old Fourth of July celebration in Walkerton. Railroads never yet killed a town that was worth living. The town that can’t stand plenty of railroads must stand on a very poor bottom indeed. Goit A Pool, painters and paper । hangers, have had long experience in their line, and work entrusted to them will be well done. Give them a trial. New flowers, laces and ribbons in all the new shades, straw hats and bonnets of the most stylish shapes and a choice variety of novelty braids at Ida Beach’s millinery rooms. Remember the ball in Bender's opera house on the evening of Decoration day. The music will be furnished by Prof. Snyder’s orchestra and the calling will be done by William Orr of Stillwell. The Independent never did believe in donating aid to enterprises, such as factories and railroads, so far as the principle of it is concerned. But that is the way they do things now-days ! and the town that shows public spirit I in that respect is quite apt to improve i and grow. Where we are to get benei fits from a public enterprise weare expected to give something in return, ' same as other towns. I
