The insurance companies had representatives here this week to adjust the insurance of Charles Sheastley on the I ? iorence hotel.

From

that place the Northern Pacific has a | survey to the Ouimet terminal where the line would connect. That the line will take a shoot in some direction during the summer is quite certain, but the route to be chosen is a matter of great speculation at this time. The Walkerton Independent has begun to agitate the forming of a business men’s association in that place. That is right, Brother Endley. Any community that desires to reap the benefits that are flying around these times, needs to be organized and move quickly. Why there are people in this world so far behind the times—yes, and communities too —that when Gabriel blows the last trump they will fail to fall in line for fear it is a new scheme to secure money for some legitimate purpose.—Plymouth Independent.
