They devote their whole time and attention to the busine^s, and are suppplL 1 with nets, etc.,

to enable them to make big catches. [ They visit the different lakes and s streams throughout the surrounding • country, and three or four hundred pounds is not an unusual catch for one i night’s work. They are paid by eastern | j firms at the rate of live cents per pound and make several hundred del- ■ lars during the season. ‘“A Small Place South of this Town.’’ “A small place south of this town,” ; is the way some one over at North Liberty described the location of Walkerton in sending the small-pox news to the Inter Ocean last Tuesday morning. After waiting all these years North Liberty has finally found , the opportunity to give Walkerton a stab. Not a moment was lost, but with an alertness that was astonishing . j she pounced upon this brilliant oppor- । tunity. “A small place south of this t I town!” We can’t help but admire the ) pluck and perseverance of our am- | bitious little neighbor on the north.

At Walkerton, a day or two ago, a young man and his best girl from (his city registered at it hotel as man and wife, telling the hotel clerk ami some few others that they were on their wedding tour.—Lal’orte Herald. The smallpox cases are all reported to be getting along finely. The Doud boy is able to be up to day— Friday—and the other eases seem to be of a very mild nature. The situation at j present does not seem so serious. Mrs. IL Rupel while walking in front of the Weldon property on last 1 Tuesday, was tripped by a loose board I and she was violently thrown to the ; sidewalk. Hei left hip was consider- ' ably sprained and she has not been able to walk since the accident. She is. however, mending at this writing I Friday morning.

Hardy, died nt their home In South Bend, last NOurday ujgld. el consumption with which she was ill for about nine months. She was a daughter of Mi. and Mrs. George Chapman, of near this place. Her age was 3 n years, 4 months ai d 23 days. | The deceased was l orn in Allen county, this state. She moved with her parents to this locality in the spring of 1871. >hv was married to L. F. Hardy Dec. 27, 18’1. Besides her husband, she is survived by three children two daughters and one son the oldest, Nellie, being about ten years old. The funeral services were held from the family le-mbmcv in >outh Bend on

Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. Her pastor.'' Dr. Johnson, of the Prut Presbyterian church, had charge of the services. Florence had a wide circle of friends here, where she spent the greater part ( of her girlhood days, who are bowed with grief over her untimely death. Picked Up. Bad music has terrors. Cupid is not an intellectual being. Honest men do not fear blackmailers. An idle brain is the anarchist’s workshop. Stick to your friends but do not stick them. Carning concealed weapons leads to the gallows. The man who pays cash is the man who buys cheap. What an ocean of trouble can come, out of a gallon jug. Take care of the dollars and the world will take care of you. The bald headed man parts his Lair on the what-is left side. A sure sign of dry times is the wink . at the soda fountain. Every lynching makes the enforce- ; ment of law harder to accomplish. Ihe bag in the knees of a man’s pantaloons isn't always tilled with | I piety. When women fall out they immediately begin talking of each other's rel atives. Many a man refuses to love his neighbor as himself because he has al garden and his neighbor keeps hens. | Many a man who started out to reform the whole world changed his mind before he got into the next couni tj. A bald head is unnatural and unnecessary. Hall's Hair Renewer will prevent it.
