When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser.

I Foster predicts that April will bring 1 much rain, some storms of dangerous I tornadic violence, and very cold waves i for so late in the season will follow the storms until after the middle of the month.

I By request, Sam Cunningham kindly > furnishes the Independent this week : with an interesting description of the Mardi Gras, the great carnival which is j held once every year at New Orleans. l The article gives a gwd idea of the Mardi Gras and is well worthy of peril sal. We call attention to J. F. Strang’s ad this week. Mr. Strang will carry a good line of farming implements, with office and warerooms in the Cotton building. The Coates Manufacturing Co., who have been doing a land office business for the ! past few months in the manufacture of washing machines, will vacate the build , ing and probably move to some barn for the present.

The burden of labor is constantly be ing lightened by new inventions, but nothing new has yet been discovered to brighten the hours of labor, and make life worth living like Simmons Liver Regulator dot's.

A race track for Walkerton is just ■ about a sure thing. Our local horsemen have organized a stock company, t > be ! known as the Walkerton Driving Asso ciation and have leased of Andrew Cun ningham a 12-acre tract of ground adjoining the west part of town which will be converted into a half mile track. The location could not be better, the land be-, ing as level as a floor and admirably ml ■ I apted inevery wily Tor "the purpose. j This is what a tax assessor has to say with reference to his observations while in performance of his official duty: I "Take the majority of the people, whom ! I call in everything else just about as ■ honest as they can be, and they would 1 not misrepresent for the world. But ' when it comes to taxation they are about । as dishonest as they can be, and it is not lin any class either. They lie about difi ferent things. They will lie about their I real estate just as they will lie about ’ ! their personality." Whether the following is a fact or not j. we can not say, but it comes from a rep utable exchange: In a neighboring village a society of young people pro-

posed to give a “spider web” social. A ' notice was handed to the local paper for j publication and the intelligent composi-! tor made it read: “The ladies of—- — will give a spider leg social.” It is I unnecessary to say the wrath of the sis- ! ters was beyond comprehension and the i editor was informed that if he ever called ! them “spider legs” again he would be horsewhipped. Births. A little girl took possession of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Turner Saturday, March 20. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. William Reed Monday, March 20.
