I^"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. Walkerton Market. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY STEPHENS AND GRIDER.

The new firm will carry on bus: ness at the same place under the name of Ross A Brady.

It is rumored about town and it is to be hoped that the rumors spring from facts, that parties in Teegarden and Tyner are planning to construct a tele phone line connecting with the phones of the Starke and St. Joseph Telephone company in this place. This would give a much increased service to all lines. Judging from the advancement made in the last few years, it will be only a short time until every farm house will have a i telephone and have communication with all the world. Frank Place says much of the corn that was planted on the Kankakee marsh land last spring has made almost phenominal growth and it is still rank and growing. He says the own ers of marsh lands are greatly encouraged by this year’s crops, and the con dition of things has so changed that a I land seeker now asks how much marsh land there is on a farm, instead of asking how much dry land there is, as he formerly did, as the marsh is now considered the better property.
