It appears that the announcement that Hon. Sam Parker, of Plymouth, had been appointed the Indiana attorney for the great Pennsylvania railroad system was not founded on fact. It. grew out of the circumstance that he had frequently been called to Logansport to assist Judge Ross, who for many years has been that road’s attorney.—South Bend Times.

There have been so many forecasts of a severe cold winter, says an exchange, that it may be dangerous to make another, but we are informed by one who was watching it very closely and has never known it to fail that when the moon is well to the south during the months of October and November, you can always expect a mild and open winter to follow, this is calculated to supersede all other predictions, ground hog not excepted, to the weather for the next three or four months. The moon is now well to the south.

'l'ickets will be good for return 39 days from date of sale. Plymouth, according to the Daily Independent, is entitled to free mail delivery. The receipts of the postoffice there for the past year place that, city in the list of new candidates for free mail delivery. This rapid increase in the postal receipts of Plymouth is due largely to the enormous mail matter sent out and received each day by the novelty works and bicycle factory. One reason why people never pay any attention to signs and advertisments daubed on old fences, stables and bridges, is because they do not know whether they are reading the advertisement of some firm that is still in business, or one t hat has been dead for years. When people read advertisements in a newspaper that is up to date, they know the advertiser is alive and doing business.-—New Carlisle Gazette. The name of the Lake Erie & Western Railway company will be a thing of the past after January Ist, says the TPrn Journal There will be a consoli-

dation of all the Brice niKTr-M time but the mime which is to be used > to signify the system is not yet known. ■ It is understood that the officials of the Lake Erie & Western will continue in charge and that the central office will remain at Indianapolis. The lines to be consolidated are the Lake Erie & Western 725 miles; Cincinnati, Jackson & Michigan, 346; Cleveland Akron & Columbus, 206; Ohio Southern, 243, Northern Ohio, 175; total 1,685 miles. A farmer in an adjoining county has a novel way of dampening his corn fodder for husking. He takes a few barrels of water in his wagon the night before and throws a pail full in the top of each shock, which puts it in excellent condition for husking the next day.—Mentone Gazette. The testimony of farmers in this vicinity who have tried this plan goes toward proving its efficacy. We have heard several persons advise their ’ neighbors to try this method of making the fodder less brittle and the > husking much easier.—Nappanee Advance.

Ellwood are meeting with good success in their efforts towards organizing a tent of the K. O. T. M. in this place.

The first real spell of winter came last Tuesday night and on Wednesday, I being in the shape of a mild blizzard. Snow fell in sufficient quantity to i cover the ground to a depth of about two and a half inches. This change ] in the weather is favorable to bus!- | ness, especially in the clothing and boot and shoe lines. < The Michigan City News says that. ‘ D. C. McCullum, of LaPorte, well known in G. A. R. circles, is nt the I head of a syndicate that has purchased ! 10,000 acres of land in Georgia upon which a colony will be planted. The I town of Fitzgerald has been laid out' < and farmersand mechanics in northern Indiana are arranging to migrate ( and locate on (he tract. । Max Bass, the emigration agent of the Great Northurn railroad, was in town last Thursday and Friday. He ' reports the members of the colony that he took to North Dakota last spring as 1 doing spendidly and blessed with abundant crops, and says many of them will return this winter on a visit. 1 He will work up another delegation this winter to emigrate to that state next spring. —Nappanee Advance. An exchange notes that a new law of Indiana provides that all court costs ■ taxed against litigants must be paid in ! to the county treasury, and the law makes it imperative on the part of the i clerk of the county to issue bills in i sixty days after judgment is rendered. As the fee bill adds from $2 to $lO to j the costs it will be well for parties to hereafter look after their court costF.
