Stye independent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. SEP. 7, 1895. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. A new star will be added to the flag to represent Utah. A contemporary puts it this way: “Before marriage—dude. After marriage—subdued.” Chief Justice Fuller says: “If we want to lit 3 to a green old age we should sta^, in harness. The dry rot of aimlessness eats out, existence.” It is a little difficult to keep track of the Albion Democrat sometimes as to whether it is “all home print” or not. However, the Democrat is an excellent paper just the same. Circumstances change, temptations diminish, positions improve, misfortunes become endurable by habit, but persons who lire disagreeable to ns, always irritnte us more and more.—

Anon. Miss .Eleanor Alice Richards, daughter and private secretary of Governor Richards of Wyoming, takes the reigns of government and runs the state alone when her pa is away. She is nineteen years old. What passes for good luck is often rather the present results of previous good sense—-the fruition now of past but unobserved labors--the springing up in one season of seed sown in another.—Selected. A contemporary very aptly says: “A ten dollar bill does not rattle in your pocket, but two nickels do. In like manner the man with two grains of sense makes more noise than one with a head full of brains.” The Columbia River conference of the M. E. church at Spokane, Wash., voted 44 to 4 in favor of changing the constitution of the church so as to allow women to be eligible to membership in the general conference. The Indianapolis Journal says that the appellate court has decided that Labor Day is not a legal holiday, and consequently saloons are not compelled to be closed on that day. Labor Day, it is said, was made a holiday only so far as it would apply to commercial paper. Henry Hnthkopf, a wealthy importer of New York City, committed suicide by shooting himself, last Saturday. He was only 35 years old and worth half a million. No reason can be assigned for the act. The frequency of suicides among wealthy men would seem to practically demonstrate that happiness and contentment are not always to be f^uud in the possession of great riches. Luther Laflin Alills, the Chicago criminal lawyer, says that when he was a boy he frequently accompanied his father, who was a wholesale mer- ' chant, on collecting tours through the 1 Northwest. They had to travel by ! wagon, and as the father would have 1 large sums of money about him it was often a problem where they could ’ safely put it for the night. “My boy” 1 the old man used to say, “it is safe to stay at a house where there are 1 flowers in the window.” 1

Editor Prickett has sold the Albion New Era to Prof. J. E. Buchanan, of DeKalb county, who will take charge of the paper in a few weeks. Mr. Prickett has had charge of the New Era for some twenty-five years and has always kept the paper up to the highest standard of country journalism, he being not only a good everyday newspaper writer but a man of broad literary culture as well. The fraternity of northern Indiana would regret to see Bro. Prickett leave the ranks for good, but the probability is that he will not. Being a born newspaper man it is doubtful if he will stay out of the business long, if he has not

already another field in view. 1 The editor of the Prison Mirror has received from M. .1. Dowling, of the' Renville Star-Farmer, who is secretary । of an editorial association, a pressing ■ invitation to join the editors in their • summer outing. In addition to the printed invitation, Dowling adds in pencil this suggestive note: •‘Nothing but the need of filthy lucre can prevent any editor from partaking of this treat.” To which cruel allusion the editor of the Mirror says he knows better. He would be glad to walk to the Yellowstone park or to Atlanta, and would do so if any of his “brothers of the press” would devise some means by which he could scale a thirty-foot wall and not break his neck on the other side or fall into the arms of his keeper.

It is said that the continued drouth of the past two years is killing much of the be^ph timber in the eastern part of the stale. It is well known that beech trees do not root deeply, and the small amount of moisture within reach of the roots is not sufficient to sustain the life. All the Indiana and general news of interest will be found on the inside pages of the Independent. It will be found there in brief but good shape, and you will not have to wade through columns of unnecessary verbiage to get at the facts, as is generally the case with metropolitan weeklies. The township trustees of St. Joseph county met at the court house in South Bend last Monday and after long balloting elected Titus Kenzie, of Liberty township, county superintendent of schools. Owing to a recent decision of the supreme court, however, the election may be invalid, and the present incumbent, Mr. Bair, hold over for another term. “Oid you observe,’’ said a merchant

to a customer, “the handsome advertisement I have painted on the railing of the creek bridge?” “No,” replied the customer, “but if you will send the bridge around to my house L will try and read the announcement. I read the papers when I am resting in the evenings with my family and we then discuss the offers made by our merchants but I haven’t t ime to go around from place to place to read the bill boards.” And the merchant scratched his head and walked off. Success on a Farm of 35 Acres. The Rural World tells how Mr. T. B. Terry, the well known agricultural writer of Ohio, made a competence on a farm of 35 acres, and without going into any schemes known as“ fancy farming.” Here is the story: “From a farm of 35 acres T. B. Terry, of Ohio, has acquired a competence, and is now principally engaged in teaching his fellow farmers how they may do likewise. It may be fairly stated that nine-tenths of these have tried to make a similar competence on more than ten times that, number of acres and have failed, an e idence of the truth stated in these columns repeatedly, that success was in the man, and not in the location or the business. Mr. Terry was at first assisted by a hired man. His farm of 35 acres was divided into three parts and subjected to a rotation; one-third being devoted to potatoes; one third to clover, and one-third to wheat. His main dependence for money was on his potato crop, of which he raised an average of 225 to 250 bushels to the acre, or about three times the crop ordinarily raised by the farmers of the West. “How he did it is an interesting and instructive lesson. His main object in raising the clover was to use it as a fertilizer in drawing nitrogen from the air and phosphoric acid from the ground by means of its long, deep roots. He used no commercial fertilizers, finding clover much cheaper and immeasureably superior. He plowed under green sward for potatoes the first year. In the fall on that ground he sowed wheat, which did not injure it, and seeded to clover. After cutting his wheat in the fall he had left a good growth of clover, which he cut, and then turned under the clover sod the next spring, which made a line, well manured ground to plant potatoes in. The roots of the

clover were so long that they went down for phosphoric acid where no other roots could reach. And the leaves of the clover were broad, and they took in the nitrogen from the air, and turning all this under made the ! very best manure that could be obtained for the next potato crop. “Here is a lesson that may follow. Especially may the young men of small means, stout hearts, and willing hands prepare themselves for a like effort in the full assurance that with a like pertinacity’ success will crown their efforts and reward their faithful service.”

Caused by Sudden Shock Some three years ago Mainerd Tay. lor, of Terre Haute, was taken ill and the old family physician was employed a big bill run, but Mainerd was no better. He was pale, had headache, pains and fever. Friends recommended Bailey’s Alterative-Tonic, because it had cured them. Mainerd took it, and a few bottles cured him. He cannot say enough now in praise of the greatest of all blood purifiers, Bailey’s Alterative-Tonic. Don’t let druggists put off a worthless substitute because of a greater profit. Price sl.

It is a well-known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States who. I by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, nuke large amounts every year, ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who Invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up to §50,000 to | s’oo,ooo or more by those who invest a few thousand. It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small investments I on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who thoroughly understand systematic trading. Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles vp enormously in a short time.
