Married, in Walkerton at the residence of W. A. Dailey, John E. Davis, of South Cass, Mich., and Alice Bowels, of Argos, Ind. Justice Shoemaker performed the ceremony. It is said that Harry Richmond and his company, who have just started out, on the road from Winamac, will play Damon and Pythias in Walkerton at an early date. Del Woodard burned both his hands severely on Friday evening of last week while trying to dispose of a large crape paper lamp shade, which took fire in some way from the lamp. The stitch in Sam Ross’ back has kept him sewed up in the house the most of this week. Sam is feeling quite well aside from this stitch, which makes it difficult for him to get around. The revival meeting at U. B. church is starting out very nicely. Four have been out to the altar and the interest seems to be increasing. May a good revival come to all the churches in town. Those who agreed to pay their subscription to the Independent in wood will please bring it in at once. Now is when we want it, and not when warm weather comes with the ther- • TDoinefer SO degrees above zero. An unregenerated editor says: The greatest hindrance to religious revivals is the mean spirit manifested among church members in their dealings with each other. The devil smiles all over when he hears them talking about each other. A Michigan City advertiser grows facetious as follows: “Fit then, thy feet, no more thy corns abuse; the proper study of mankind is shoes. Illfitting shoes admit of no defense, for want of fit shows want of common sense.” Mrs. Betsy Vincent lias been seriously ill with lung fever for the past week or so. She is reported as im proving at this writing—Thursday evening. Her sickness started from a cold contracted on the day of the funeral of her son, the late E .J. Vincent. Mrs. Griner, residing with her son, Samuel Griner, of the Island, died on Tuesday, Jan. 29, aged about 69 years. Mrs. Griner had been in ill health for several months prior to her death. The remains were buried at Grovertown on Thursday, Rev. Bates officiating. “A Hoosier’s Experience in Western Europe” is an instructive and fascinating book of travel, by Hon. John S. Bender, of Plymouth, who is intimately acquainted with many of our readers. The book is well worthy of perusal by everybody, as it contains much valuable information regarding historic spots in Western Europe. This book will be furnished together with a year’s subscription to the Independent for $1.75. Call and see a specimen copy of the book at this office. The Teru Journal says a young railroader of that city claims that he and his wife had lived through the month of December, spending only seventy-five cents for edibles. They had mush and milk and bread and butter to their heart’s content. He says they did not do it on account of not having money, but because they wanted to ascertain the lowest figure they could live on. He has been working every day and making fairly good wages. They are now living off the fat of the land, and are not sorry that they attempted and aocomnli« 1 >< i d

Hudelmyer. ’To grow old gracefully, one must live temperately, calmly, methodically; be interested in all that is going on the world; be cheerful, happy, and contented, and above all, keep the blood pure and vigorous by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Be sure you get Ayer’s. On January 8 and 15 and February 5 the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will sell 30-day excursion tickets to points in Virginia on the Harper’s Ferry & Valley branch, south of and including Winchester, at rate of one fare for the round trip. Excursion tickets will also be sold to points in the west, south and southwest, at very low rates Flashy lithographs announcing a sparring match between Weitsell and Greenburg to take place at Plymouth, February 12, have been posted up in this place. ’There is some probability that the flash is about all there will be of the proposed match, as it is reported that the authorities of Plymouth and Marshall county will not permit the exhibition to be held. William Hubbard, a traveling salesman for the grocery house of Tolman & Co., Chicago, has been missing for several weeks. Mr. Hubbard was well known in this place, this being one of the points on his route. Nothing whatover has been heard from him and his whereabouts remains tin absolute mystery. It is said that he had about $2,000 in his possession at the time of his disappearance. Al White, one of the B. & O. carpenters, is unable to work from an accident which happened to his hand al South Chicago on last Monday. While working in the round house a pile of lumber fell and Mr. White in trying to prevent the lumber from falling severely sprained one of his wrists. The pain was so great that Mr. White fell to the ground in a faint. His wrist and hand are badly swollen. Grant, the Plymouth long distance runner, was in the city last night and this morning for the purpose of making a match with J. J. F.ngledriim. There was some haggling about the distance and negotiations were postponed until next Saturday evening when Henry Engledrum, Jack's managOL will be here. If the match is made half of the distance will be run in Plymouth and half in South Bend. — South Bend Tribune, Jan. 30. “A Trip through Indiana in the interest of Sabbath school missionary work” is the subject which Chai les M.

No home is complete without the local paper, and one of the great illustrated monthlies representing the thought and talent of the world. The Independent and Cosmopolitan will be furnished one year for $2.50. People are very forgetful. They have to think pretty hard to remember the vice-presidential candidate two campaigns back, and yet he was pretty well advertised at the time. It has been truly said that the time to advertise is all the time. In business there is no such thing as standing still. A business man must go forward or he will fall back. Even if you do just as much business this year as you did last, some other fellow is ; doing more business, and he is getting ahead of you.—Ex. Wreck On the Three I. A wreck occurred between two freight I rains on the Three I road at North Judson last Wednesday night, being caused by a rear end collision. Conductor Vincent was killed and a brakeman badly injured. The deceased was an old and trusted employe of the road and had recently received notice of a promotion to passenger conductor. He is spoken of by his acquaintances here as having been a very genial man and highly esteemed by his fellow railroad men . He was about 45 years of age and leaves a fine family, who reside at Streator, to mourn his loss. At this writing we have not beard as to the condition of the injured brakeman, whose name wo were unable to learn, but it is reported that

Smith returned to South’ Chicago on Friday where he will ret Mime his old position as salesman so? the Calumet Supply Co. Ike McConnell, formerly banker ol this place, was in town Friday. lid is now tiaveling salesman for a whole! sale drug house of ludiaurpolis. Simon Bnuger, undertaker, of Ctomj well, Ind , was in this place last Monday. Mr. Buuger is a pleasant gentle man ami an experienced undertaker. Will Smith, of South Bend, was in town last Monday with a car load of oranges from Mills Brog.’ He was delivering the fruit at different pointe along the Three I road. An obaerrer at the State capital says; You see ail sizes, shapes and designs of men. You see the little I important fellows rustling around as I though the coming session wm a’! upon Uieir shoulders; theu you see the big portly fellow, posing with great dignity, as though he was saying: “I am the coming man of Indiana—a daik boss for governor in 1896.” The most disgusting fellow you run across is the one who feels he is so popular. He yells at Jim, Bill and all the boys, and is compelled to seek rest on account of entertaining so many friends. If you wish to see a great mixture of humanity, you want to gaze on a political crowd in the hotel lobby just preceding the meeting of the legist; - tore. A Great Loss to Farmers. “I could never understand why the majority of our farmers leave their machinery out doors the year round,” said a farmer who has a place for every thing and who sees that it is there. “I was driving along the road to town only hist week aud I counted twentyseven plows, ten reaping machines aud six self hinders standing in the fields where their owners had completed the season’s work with them. I will venture to say that right here in this county each year the farmers lose not less than $5,000, aud probably a great deal more, in just this way. There is enough farm machinery ruined this way each year to purchase a good farm, yet a great many farmers never seem to take any uotice of it. They will stop their wagons in a field to pick up an car of corn, but will —Hi err fartfl implements staud out the year round, taking the storm or sun shine, aud gradually falling to pieces. Late Literary News. General Lord Wolseley makes a most important contribution to the literature of the China Japan war. In an article for the February Cosmopolitan, he discusses the situation and does not mince matters in saying what Chiun must do in this emergency. Two other noted foreign authors contribute interesting articles to this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous Parisian dansense, gives the history of the ballet, and Emile Ollivier tells the story of the fall of Louis Philippe. From every part of the world, drawings and photographs have been obtained of the instruments used to torture poor humanity, and appear as illustrations for a clever article, by Julian Hawthorn, entitled, “Salvation via the Rack.” Mrs. Reginald de Koven, Anatole France, W.

Bender, Plymouth, Ind , author of “Money, its Definition, Etc.” The young, the sprightly and guy -"iB. find entertainment in reading this book without neing submitted to the ordeal of an exacting romance. The matter of fact man or woman cannot I fail to lie interested in it, and the sober and reflective whose minds are drawn toward old abbeys and the tombs < f illustrious dead must be delighted. It is a plain narrative of incidents, anecdotea, and events, noted by the author from personal observation in Europe and on the way, so interspersed with * iment as to render it amusing, in (creating and instructive. The book is original, due credit being given to tevery author or person comiulhd. It lb handsomely embellished and iilns Itmted, rendering it a neat little volume for the sitting room or parlor. There is pot a book extant so full of interest a d information that can be produced at the same price. Regular price SI.OO. Thia book will be furnished with one year's subscription to the InukPENDENT for the low price of $1.75. An exchange says that a single page in n single issue of the Century taken for advertising costs SSOO, Harper’s $490 and other magazines SIOO to $350. A yearly advertisement in one column in the Chicago Tribune posts $28,550 for the lowest and $86,pOO for the highest rate. New York (World costs $46,000 for the lowest and $59,000 for the highest price per column. These figures will probably astonish men who spend from $lO to HO a year with a paper for advertising space, and seem to think they are iberal advertisers. For Sale.
