tSTAdvertisers in the Independent have the privilege of changing their advertisements as often as once a month at least. When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser. The public are eager to read fresh, newsy ads. that are to the point and every business man should not neglect to attend to the matter. LOCAL NEWS. See Cunningham for farm implements.

The office work of the Coates Man- 1 ufacturing Company was opened this । week and matters are rapidly being put in shape to commence operations. The machinery is being placed in read . iness at Baugher’s mill and the sawing and cutting of lumber will probably be ; begun by next Monday. It is expected j that they will be ready to commence ■ the bench work about the middle of next week. J. K. Coates, the manager, expects to have a stock of Sunbeam washing machines manufactured so that shipping can begin within 30 days. The report comes from Walkerton that huckleberries sell as low as 3 cents per quart there. We don’t believe it though. -South Bend Times. The Independent being a recognized authority on huckleberries feels that it is called upon to give correct information in regard to this matter. Huckleberries are now retailing here at six cents a quart, the merchant paying five cents. Berries were some lower for a short time last week, selfing as low as three cents on the streets. They have not retailed so far this season for less than five cents. Later. This morning—Friday merchants are paying six cents for berries and retailing them at seven.

Dan Brubaker has bought a half in terest in the Hudelmyer A Henry stock, and the firm will be known as Brubaker & Blaine. It seems very natural to see Dan back in the old place where he was formerly interested for so many years. The firm is a good, strong one and they will push business. Having bought the stock at a discount, they propose to give the benefit of this to their customers. The W alkerton Water Works Co. has secured an option on George Henry’s ground in the meadow north of his residence. The area secured is 181 by 60 feet, the long way running parallel with the street. The high ground affords a splendid location for the tower and the low ground, accordding to indications, will give a good j water supply. Work on the test well will begin at once. A Bremen firm has patented a grass hopper catching machine. It sells for $6 and is guaranteed to do the work satis factorily. Exchange. Thus the world moves on. The genius of invention is revolutionizing the con ditions of man. In this connection it may not be amiss to state that our ft l low townsman. Hon. J. W. Baugher, has invaded the realm of invention and produced a potato bug catcher of great merit and originality. For particulars see John. Policeman Samuel Derrent, of South Bend, had a desperate encounter with hoboes in that city .last Tuesday after ! noon. He undertook to arrest a pair of ' the worthies and they turned on him j and would probably have killed him had not timely aid arrived. As it was, Dor rent was quite badly, though not dan gerously, wounded, the hoboes having fired a number of shots at him. two of which took effect, one bullet inflicting a scalp wound and the other lodging in Derrent's thigh. The hoboes were captured by officers and are now hx-kol up in the jail. Sunday evening Nightwatchman Fails was summoned to the residence of Ed Folly to quiet a “family disturbance.” Mrs. Folly notified the officer in person, stating that her husband had been abusing and laying violent hands upon her. Marshal Wolfe was also notified and when he arrived at the house all was peace and quiet. Folly was sitting very calmly in the house as if nothing had । happened. One of Mrs. Folly's hands was cut across the palm, and a large knifewas lying on the table. In the tussle it is supposed that Folly cut her hand with the knife. He denied, how ever, that he did so intentionally. He claims that he had been laying in the alley for some man, for which purpose he ! had the knife, and in flourshing the knife around in the house his wife re । ceived the gash across her hand in at tempting to grab the weapon from him. The story is very fishy. Marshal Wolfe locked Folly in the cooler until the next morning, when he released the prisoner upon promise that he would leave town. Folly has not been seen since, and it is j hoped that he has respect enough for ' Walkerton to make his absence permanent. B. & O. Excursion Rates.

The Times warns the girls of that city to keep clear of the gay and festive masher. The wheat crop just harvested in this locality was good as a general thing, and the prospects for corn, oats, rye, pickles, etc., seem very bright. Nature is distributing her blessings in this vicinity with lavish hand this season, G<x>d times are surely ahead this fall. The addition to the Heinz picket works is about completed. It is 48 by 96 feet, one story high with a cellar under the entire building. This building will be used for the company’s dill pickel business, the cellar being the storage room.
