A letter from a gentleman at Streator, Hl., was received last Wednesday by ’Squire Townsend, president of the town board of t rustees, inquiring what inducements could be offered by Walkerton for a button factory employing about fifty hands.

The wonderful remedy proves successful when all other treat ment has failed to relieve the sufferer.

Great credit is due to the authorities at Walkerton for the way in which they have handled the epidemic in preventing its spreading to other towns.— Etna Green News. An exchange says that when a man patronizes home industries it can always be taken as an indication that the man is in sympathy with the industries and with the prosperity of his town. But when a man deliberately goes out of hie own town to make purchases he can as well make at home, and at reasonable prices, it is evident that he cares little or nothing for his “ own town’s prosperity. i Rev.

Fountain, editor of the New Carlisle Gazette, and republican candidate for clerk of St. Joseph county, is a man for whom the people of St. Joseph county can cast their ballots with the assurance that they are voting for an honest, competent man, who recognizes the fact that the great county of St. Joseph reaches beyond the immediate vicinity of the court house. Mr. Fountain is a candidate of the people of all parts of the county. He would make an efficient, conscientious officer.

t 'i’he voting next Tuesday will be . slow and tedious as there are three } ballots to be cast. t In preparing your ballots in the booth be careful not to mar them with , ink from the stamp. After stamping use the blotter in order to prevent the ink from marring the ballot when it is folded. With three good railroads Walkerton’s shipping facilities are first-class, and our advantages are very inviting for manufacturing establishments. A reasonable effort on the part of the citizens to obtain factories could now be made with considerable assurance of success. At the minstrels, Friday eve., one of the end num sprang a “gag” as follows: “If I owned the LnPorle court house do you know what I would do?” “No, what would you do with it?” “Well 1 would paint all Ihe iron work green.” “Why?” “’fo cover up the ‘steal.’ ’’—LaPorte Herald.

The tomato is of the variety known as the Favorite. 'l’he publisher of a "long felt want” should not expect to secure advertisements before readers.—Printer’s Ink. In commenting on the above the Lafayette Cali adds: “Yet how true it is that Ihe originator of a new newspaper project generally makes his first break for the business public. His first plea is not. for subscribers, but to know how much the business men are going to give him in advertising to support the new organ.” Four new cases of smallpox developed last Mouday . All are in the Kellogg family. Daniel Kellogg, Sr., aged 88 years, Daniel Kellogg, Jr., Miss Alta Kellogg and Flemming Kellogg are the new cases.

'The Goshen News, speaking of a man in LaGrange county who does his trading at Goshen, and takes that journal to keep himself posted on the price of goods, as well as for the information afforded by its news columns, makes the following pertinent comments: “This is a sensible thing to do, as Mr. Emmitt says he has saved a great deal of money in this way. A great many l>esiple do not appreciate the importnu|e of advertisements. Were it not font he enterprising business men of thf different towns, it would not be poisible to publish newspapers except ' ><t plmost prohibitory prices, while the papers in all the smaller cities

jute slifuld patronize imvadveriiHers be । cafse these bnsim ss men make it poa , Ie for the newspaper to be pubILied, and also Is'cause nine times out I ofiten the advertiser gives the liest for thp lenst money. The newspaper advertising business men are public benefactors—they make the local newspa | per possible and save the people mon ' ey, directly and indirectly. Patronize the advertiser every time.” Noah Rensberger has received a large and well-selected stock of goods ; for the fall trade. I A. E. Cripe, the barber, in the express office building.
