^^“Advertisers in the Independent I 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 I 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 at- । tend to the matter.

The Catholic church has been frescoed inside, cathedral glass placed in the windows and a neat picket fence built in front of the building. The Catholic people now have a very handsome place of worship, Ladies, before buying your fall or winter cloaks you will be wise to call at Noah Rensberger's and price his line of ladies and children's ploaks. He is now receiving his stock of cloaks for the fall and winter trade and can suit you in price, style and quality. The growth of weeds in Walkerton this year is something phenomenal. The hot weather and copious rains have caused the noxious vegetation to fairly hump itself. Although several crops have been harvested this year the prospects are bright for several more. A force of about twenty men are now employed at the pickle factory and that place presents a busy scene. Long strings of wagons filled with cucumbers are drawn up in line every other evening waiting to be unloaded, and it is sometimes midight before the unloading and assorting of pickles is completed. “Be regular and punctual in all things” was one of the old maxims, taught long ago. The last is not forgotten, but the first is scarce remembered, so irregular is the life of most people nowadays. The only correcter of this evil is Simmons Liver Regulator, which keeps the liver active and prevents the ills of irregular living: Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Consti- j pati ci, etc. It also cures these troubles. I What is known as "the Sun cholera cure, will be found one of the very best . household remedies for bow< I cumplai /s. It is composed of equal parts of the tincture of opium, capsicum, camphor, rhubarb and peppermint. Shake well, and take from ten to thirty drops in wat r, from 15 minutes to one hour apart, as the severity of the case may indicate. A Truthful exchange says: The man who does not advertise because his grandfather did not, ought to wear knee, pants and a queue. The man who does not advertise because he does not know how should stop eating because he can’t cook. The man who does not advertise because somebody said it did not pay, ought not be: we the world is round because the ancients said it was flat.” A new species of sponge was recently discovered in the antarctic circle near the frigid zone, where it was supposed that sponges did not exist. They have a variegated appearance, being black and white, which scientists claim is caused by the warm water c oming in contact with the cold where they grow. They have a very peculiar appearance. An assortment of these sponges will be on exhibition free of charge at Endly’s drug store from now until school commences.

a Morphine Poisoning. Dr. Jones reports a case of morphine . poisoning in the family of Jacob Everly, r residing near this place. Mr. Everly s son, aged seven years, got hold of a bottle of morphine pills Thursday morning 5 at 10 o’clock and ate several of them. The ’ pills being sugar coated were pleasant to the taste and the boy and his little sister both participated in the feast. The girl, however, did not take e rough to hurt her. The facts were not discovered by the parents until the boy was overcome by the drug. He sank into an unconscious condition and by the time Dr. Jones arrived, which was about 12 o’clock, the boy’s respiration was very feeble. The doctor immediately applied counter-act-ing remedies and worked incessantly over the patient until about 4 o’clock when symptoms of improvement wore apparent. The doctor also watched the patient the greater part of the night and when he left the boy was still improving with good chances of complete recovery. I.
