^“Advertisers 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 NE:WS.

He was working at the back of the building and had his hand on the end of the eave-trough when t a bolt of lightning ran down the spout and grabbed him by the finger, yanking at it for a short time like a team of horses. It finally let go of him but not until he had felt the shock quite distinctly over his whole body. Here is a very bad case of absentmindedness reported by the Plymouth Republican: It is reported that a prominent business man, of Plymouth, went to the Vandalia train Thursday to mail a letter, forgot what he was there for, got on the train and did not grasp till the conductor called for his ticket. He then recollected the. 1 letter he intended to mail, got off the train at Twin Lake and “footed it” Inost of the way back t^Plymmj^h.

We invite our old friends I and customers to come and see us, as we | know we are prepared to give the best of satisfaction to the people. Bose Bros. A. H. Noble, of the Walkerton Milling Co., has a timely article in this issue of the Independent on the bad condition of the growing wheat in this locality on account of the presence of rye. This rye is carried to wheat fields by threshing machines and when allowed to mix to any extent with the wheat renders it practically unfit for the manufacture of a good grade of flour and this, of course, affects seriously the price of wheat thus adulterated. The Independent commends a careful perusal of Mr. Noble’s article, believing that much good may come from the timely warning.

Emma Miller Scomp, wife of A. D. Scomp, died at her home near Teegarden June 15, 1897, aged 36 years, 4 months and 5 days. Her death was so very sudden and unexpected. A few days prior to her death she sustained a very severe fall which proved fatal after the best physicians and loving friends did all they could to save her. She was a refined and an accomplished lady in every respect. All who knew her loved her as , a faithful friend. She was raised near ‘ Fort Wayne, Ind., where her parents, I Mr. and Mrs. Miller, now live, and who were present at her funeral. She was a , member of the Baptist church, but was ‘ a regular attendant at the Barber U. B. church, where she taught a Sunday school class. She was a devoted 'Christian and consequently prepared for her ; sudden exit out of this world into the j beyond. She was also a faithful wife and companion, in which relation she lived so happily with her husband for so many years. Their home was a model one and I a welcome one for all who came to it. Her funeral was held at the home, conducted by Rev. Riley in the presence of a large company of people. The Barber people furnished excellent music, flowers, [ etc., after which she was put on the train at Tyner to be taken to her old home near Fort Wayne, Ind., for burial. She leaves a husband, an infant child only a few days old, a father, mother and other relatives together with many dear friends, to mourn. These relatives and ■ friends who mourn may be comforted with the fact that she is in a better place , than we who remain and that she leaves a beautiful, useful life that we may em- , ulate. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” J. W. Riley.

An exchange observes that many : farmers who are in the habit of dehorn ’ ing their cattle may be surprised to know when they do ho they are violating the law and lay mg themselves liable to a heavy fine. It is not generally known, I but this decision was recently rendered. , So, if you get into trouble, do not say I you did not know it. The annual convention of the Y. P. C j U. of the U. B. church of St. Joseph Con i ferenco will be held in Bremen, June 21 j Ito 23.

"Demand | of the Ages.” Monday evening previous to the convention. Quite a number from . this place will attend the convention. An exchange recently gave notice that i in case a buggy whip was not returned to a certain place before its next issue it would publish the name of the party who took it. The place designated was the back yard of a certain place. The i next morning after the notice came out the night having been very dark seventeen whips were picked up in the Raid back yard. Yet there are people who do not believe in advertising. The Valparaiso Vidette says: It looks as though the next United States senatorial contest in this state will line up some mighty good men on both sides. So far in view are ex-Lieut. Gov. Mort. Nye, of LaPorte, Editor John Gilbert Shanklin, of Evansville, ex-Gov. Matthews and John W. Kern, of the democracy; and Gen. Lew Wallace, Congress man George Steele of Marion, Judge । Robert S. Taylor of Fort Wayne and even Gov. Mount. ■ ■ " JWeorfoefce Hfovprti lu 2*) minutes by lit Mlles’Pain I'rmJs. "Once cent a dew." Weak Lungs Hot weather won’t cure weak I lungs. You may feel better because out of doors more, but the trouble is still there. Don’t stop taking your Scott’s Emulsion because the weather happens to be warm.
