TYNER CITY. Farmers were too busy harvesting to celebrate the Fourth. Dr. Shaw, Mrs. Lydia Hillyer and Albert Place and wife took in the scenes at Koontz’s lake last Sunday. The dance at this place was one of the best for years; there were only fifty-seven girls. The sparring match after the dance was a very clever bout of four rounds. Several of Plymouth’s ladies spent the fourth at this place. Quite a number from this place took in the Fourth at Plymouth and Walkerton. Sarah Kyle and Dora Bennett are visiting with the latter’s brother at Michigan City during the Fourth. Miss Julia Tompson, of Chicago, was visiting her sister, Mrs. Monroe, the forepart of this week. The saloon of A. I). Johnson was broken into the night of tiie 2nd and quite a lot of stuff taken. Miss Bessie Johnson was visiting with relatives at South Bend for the past week. X. Y. Z. Smith. TEEG ARDEN. Dr. Joseph Lehman, of Buffalo, N. Y., has been visiting relatives in this vicinity during the first part of the week. « The Saints have meeting at their church west of this place every Sunday evening. Mrs. Bechtel brought in a nice lot of new cabbage. This is tho first for this year. The brick for the new church have been delivered and the work will begin in a short time. H. P. Mead has the contract, for the brick work. The car penter work has not yet been let. Lemert & Co. had their new hall ready for the dance on the Fourth. Joe Bowers Lus reluiued to this place. Lemert & Co. are preparing to buy wheat, as they are getting sacks for that purpose. It will save hauling a long distance on hot days. The railroad strike made scarcity of twine at this place; sugar is also on the same boat. The Fourth was not very well celebrated at this place. B. C. will not bet any more or be minus bis best hat. Since our last writing W. J. Burkholder’s tile mill caught fire and burned; loss near $2,000; without any insurance. Mr. Burkholder will soon commence replacing it with a better one. Charles Lemert has been on the sick list the past week. John Morris, who has been sick for so long, is fast growing weaker. Lemert & Johnson’s tile mill has commenced running again since the break down. Several from this place attended the dance at Tyner City on the night of July 3d. Mr. Hanson was in LaPorte on Tuesday buying goods. E. W. Good has disposed of 2,500 wagon tongues and is shipping a part of them this week. We learn a gentleman of Plymouth is coming here to take charge of the snake den. i Jack. < tgMk HAMLET. A. Moore, of Dundee, Michigan, ? here visiting his brother, Doctor Moore. J. B. Stanley and Mr. McKee, of Logansport, are here holding a series of temperance meetings. Hamlet Hay Co. put seventeen teams and quite a force of men to work Monday near Jackson’s island, where they have a couple thousand acres of hay to cut, besides about the same amount in this vicinity. Herman, son of Mr. Mickow, living north of town, while plowing corn became tangled in the lines and had a runaway, resulting in a broken leg. Dr. Moore dressed the limb and reports it as doing very well at this writing. Last Sunday Rev. Bates baptised several by sprinkling at the church in the morning and immersed several others at Yellow river in the afternoon. Miss Kate Gallagher is home visiting her parents. Miss Eberle, who has been working at South Bend for several years, was brought to this place sick the other day, said to be in an advanced stage of consumption.

WALKERTON, ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1894.

Rev. Bates has bought a new wheel and is learning to ride. Mr. Langenbaugh, of Plymouth, made a trip Tuesday to Hamlet, where lie was met by Aunt Mary Johnson’s rig and conveyed northeastward from Hamlet. Prof. Fuller and wife, of LaPorte, visited at Dr. Moore’s the 4th. Joe Welsh and Peter Haley spent the Fourth at San Pierre. H. R. Robbins and family attended the picnic and visited at Dr. Moore’s the Fourth. Grief of the World. The damp autumn sinks into the leaves and prepares them for approaching decay, and thus insensibly are we, ns years close around us, detached from hold on life by the gentle pressure of recorded sorrows. The first thing to be conquered is grief, is the pleasure we feel in indulging it. There is but one pardonable sorrow—that for the departed. This pleasing grief is but a variety of comfort; the sighs we heave are but a mournful mode of loving them . We shed tears when we think of their departure, and we do so too, when we think on reunion with them, and our tears at both times are equally absurd. Grief is ouly the memory of widowed affection, the more intense the delight in the presence of the object, the more poignant must be the impression of the absence. These associations with the past do not excite sorrow, but to an affectionate mind, are sorrow. The morality, then, which rebukes sorrow rebukes love. There are doubtless cases not unfrequent in which the mind is unduly overpowered by affliction, in which the tranquility of the reasoning powers is entirely prostrated. Here beyond controversy is a state of mind morally wrong, for God never absolves us from our duties, however he may for a time overshadow them by but to rebuke the feelings of giief in such case is to cast the censure in the wrong place; it is not that the sorrow is excessive, but that othei emotions are defective in their strength. The wise interpreter of his own nature will let his mourning affections alone; to interfere with them would be to wrestle with its own strength; but the will draws forth into prominent light sentiments now sleeping idly in the shaded recesses of his mind. He will summon up the sense of responsibility, to rouse him with the spectacle of bis relation to God, his father, and brother man; to recount to him the deeds of duty and the toils of thought which are yet to be achieved ere life is done; to show him the circle of faculties which the Creator has given to ennoble and refine and keep ready for a world where thought and virtue are immortalized. Heaven and God are best discerned through tears; scarcely, perhaps, discerned at all without them, the constant recurrence of prayer in the hour of bereavement and the scenes of death, suffices to show this; yet is this effect of external distress only a particular instance of this general truth that religion springs up in the mind wherever any of the infinite affections and desires press severely against the finite conditions of our existence. Change of ideas is as necessary for health as change of pasture. When the mind dwells long upon oue subject, especially of a disagreeable nature, it injures the whole l>ocly. TTow tunny thousands of constitutions have been ruined by family misfortunes or other causes of grief? Do you ask the remedy? Religion; the blessed Redeemer has opened a fountain where every sorrow may be washed away—the waters of life, where all may freely drink and live. We have only to bear for a season our trials and afflictions. We are heirs to glory, why then cling to earth, and turn our eyes away in gloom from that bright inheritance, which in his tender mercy is offered. “Come unto me all ye ends of the earth and be saved without money and without price.” Then grieve not, all will yet be well. J. W. Doud. Walkerton, Ind. Wanted the “Fool” Name. An exchange publishes the following letter as an advertisement: Fouler Benton County In June 10 1893 Mr editor please sa thru your paper 1 wod lik to hav a lady correspondent either young girl or widow lady i am a respectable gentleman in every way i neither drink no use tobacco in any way Send letters to Box 222 Fouler Benton Co In then git fool name The advertiser wrote wiser than he knew in indicating the postscript.

A cyclist passed through northern Indiana the other day with a strip of ( canvas attached to his wheel on which , was this inscription, “To Denver or bust.” It is said that postal notes will no longer be sold by the postoffleedepartment. Since July 1 the price of money orders has been reduced to take the place of the postal notes. A money order for $2.50 or less now costs but three cents, i United Society of Christian Endeavor, Cleveland, 0., July 11th to 15th; tickets sold July 9th, 10th and 11th, by L. E. &W. Final return limit of tickets may be extended to Sept. 15th, thus giving those desiring, an opportunity to make side trips from Cleveland to various jmints of interest. Space in the Independent is open to anyone interested in the money question who may care to discuss the points ns made in the article on this subject recently contributed to this paper by Dr. Arlington. A discussion on this question would be interestingNow let us hear from some of our readers at about a half column's length. The quantity of food required at the Northern Prison to make a meal is quoted as follows: Flour 5<K) pounds; corn meal, 200 pounds; potatoes, 15 bushels; fresh beef, 600 pounds; corned beef, 500 pounds; |>ork, fresh or pickled 450 pounds; butter, 60 pounds, which gives each man 1 ounce; prunes or raisins, 300 pounds; tomatoes, 20 bushels, and cabbage and onions in proportion. As the result of the work of some kickers at Knox they are having trouble In getting the insurance on the old school house recently burned there. These kickers opposed building a new i school house and when the old one । burned they raised the cry that it had ] been set on fire by incendiaries. It is : generally believed at Knox that the school house was not set on fire, but । caught fire through accident. An exchange makes the following pertinent observation: “There was an old-fashioned idea among our fathers that if they could not get $2.00 per day they would work for $1.50 or SI.OO, and there are men living who have even worked for thirty cents ver ouy uua nmua. These men believeT" 1 in and practiced economy, and many of them have become independent and wealthy. But the dude who refuses to work unless he can get a snap, or the tramp or professional labor agitator who refuses to work unless he can get fancy wages, alike deserves the hard lot which surely awaits them. They possess but small part of the energy and manhood which has made American character enduring.” There are but three classes of men in every community, the retrograde, the stationary, and the progressive, says the Press and Printer. The first two have little or no regard for the newspaper and its influence and read it simply to see “what is going on” ’ but who could fold their arms and see it die with the utmost complacency, leaving the progressive class the only real sufferers. The retrograde and stationary classes of every community are generally the critics of the newspapers, and, as Steele says: “Os all mortals a critic is the silliest; for by injuring himself to examine everything, whether of consequence or not, ' he never looks upon anything but with a design of passing sentence upon it.”

Smith Bend sets a good example for other places to follow by arresting boy® who jump on and off trains with-’ in the city limits. Gdt & Pool, painters and paper hangers, have had long experience in J their line, and work entrusted to them will be well done. Give them a trial, Mflertown has been declared a partof South Bend by the supreme court, which was called upon to decide the legality of the ballot taken in 1892. David E. Boone, of South Bend, who was recently acquitted In the Federal court of the charge of robbing the mails, will bring suit for damages against Chief of Police Rose for false imprisonment. The following particulars of a nice littll boy stealing a set of harness is from the Nappanee Advance: “An Elkhart boy spoke a nice piece at ch ikon's day gathering, and soon stole a set of harness and otferwSe??ni for sale at a livery barn. But fie jMilice got on his track, and now he is under SSO bonds to appear in court at Goshen.” A husband, who tried to keep on the good side of his wife, presented her with a fine lamp. Singularly enough she named the gift after him, and this was her explanation: “You know, dear, that it has a good deal of brass about It, requires a good deal of attention, is not remarkably brilliant, is sometimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when half full, flames up occasionally, always out at bedtime and frequently smokes.”.—Ex.
