This is the season of the year when the hunter gets out of a boat or out of a wagon and draws a loaded gun, | muzzle first, toward him. In a day or two the announcement is made that a fool will be buried. Men who have ordinary care and common sense take the loads out of their gun when they are not expecting to use them. They would ratherlose a shot occasionally than to kill themselves or some friend. —LaPorte Argus.

A general line of millinery goods, such as will please the tastes of all, at Ida Beach’s. Did you ever hear of an average good broom for 10 cents? Archie Williams has them at that price.

Head officials of the association write tol'. J. Reece, of this place, who is a share-holder in the }' lidelity, that the affairs of the institution were never on a sounder footing than at the present time. "They claim that the reported failure is the work of malicicus enemies who are trying to injure the standing of the association.

The engine with several cars pulled in to Tyner to wait for the north bound passenger train which was nearly due. "The passenger train pushed the cars which had to be left standing on the main track a mile or so from T'yner, on to this station, the engine of the local following to this place where the cars were again attached and the train then proceeded on its trip. o SV TASRD SR

“The Delightful flour is rightly named. It is a delight to all who use it. Rain is very much needed. The| soil is in bad condition from lack of | win. - 3 i Walkerton is figuring on securing a chalk factory, but the INDEPEN-| DENT is not prepared to give details| this week. J. A. Williams, of the Red Star, is|, putting in a good line of ecrockery, | which he invites the readers of the INDEPENDENT to call and see when | in need of anything of the kind. | Millard's have a large assortment of the beautiful roses to be nused on hats | and bonnets this winter. They ara| 'nmde of silk and velvet and come in beautiful changeable effects, as do the | ‘nigrettes and fancy feathers. l This is the way the fresh young man gets it at LaPorte according to the Herald: “During a band concert | the other evening a womfn stepped | up to a young fellow and struek him | in the face with her open hand, say- | ing as she did so, ‘l'll teach you to iu-| sult me.”” A novel snit has been brought inil the eirenit conrt of St. Joseph county, Elizabeth Thompson, of Mishawaka, | was a year ago, without any explana-| tion or any reason given, suddenly ejected from membership of the Mishnwnka DBaptist church. She has Dbrought mandamus proceedings to ret store her to membership, Hicks, the weather guesser, makes the follow reckless dash at the weather for the ensning winter. He says that January, 1896, promises to be a very extreme period of winter storms and cold. The same causes will then perturb and intensify the elements thut.l existed at the time of the deslructive! cold waves in February, 1895, with the | exception that Jupiter has lost his in- ‘ tensifying force over the situation at| that time. ! It is reported that a company nf; English capitalists have puarchased | 30,000 acres on the Kankakee which | they intend to divide into farms nf; 200 acres each, and put Englishmen | on them. The land a few years ugn? was all under water and not worth 1 ‘ per acre, but drainage has reclaimed it; it is said that they paid $25 per | acre. Just in what part of the Kuu-i ‘ knkee valley this lund is loeated I 8 uutg‘ stated. g I There Is one thing that all men ‘nma! learn sooner or later, remarks a | philogophieal exchinnge, and that ia,% !tlmt they are really not of so \'m'.\‘i§ { much importance after all —that thei ’ | place in life, be it humble or exalted, | [ can easily be filled.

The play “Old Farmer Hopkins” was presented in Bender’s opera housn! last Saturday evening by the Frank S. Davidson company. There was :l‘g good sized andience, which the enterfl tainment fully merited. The play of “Old Farmer Hopkins" is a good one and it was rendered by this_company with considerable merit. Every member of the company filled his part smoothly and without a hiteh. Davidson as “Old Hopkins” displayed good ability as a comedian. His acting was quiet, polished and free from all cheap horse-play, which mars the efforts of so many would-be come- | dians. It was one of the best enteri tainments ever given in this place. Meeting of Water Works Directors. The board of directors of the Walkerton Water Works Company met in |T. J. Reece’'s hardware store last Thursday evening to consider matters ; relative to the issuance of stock and to discuss points in general bearing upon the early promotion of the enterprise. Vice President Tank presided, Presiidunt Wolfe being absent from town, lSecmtury Clem recorded the minutes of the meeting. Arrangements were made for securing a seal and the cer‘tiflcutes with which to issue stock. The articles of incorporation have been | filed with the secretary of state and | ‘ the charter of the corporation was re- | ceived this week. The enterprise is an | assured success and should receive the | further encouragement and hearty | co-operation of every citizen, as it | means much toward the advancement | of Walkerton and the individual interests of everybody whose welfare is | identified with that of the town. ‘| Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powdet World's Fair Highest Medaland Diploma, ‘ All druggists seli Dr, Miles' Nerve Plasters.
