Knt'Ttil ;it tli r:ni"tith lt offlce a e-.nd 'lass matter. 1. K. I. MM KKM AN. A l SMITH KlirR VM I'KoriMKToR. l itM IMI'TION'I'IIK K. kne Year .. .!. : Month Tiik formation of a gigantic railway combine at Chicago recently is only another evidence ot the fact that the general tendency of the times is toward union and consolidation of wide spread interests. IUx knt action of the state board of health of Michigan puts membraneous croup and diphtheria on the same footing as regards sanitary treatment and preventative measures against contagian. Membraneous croup is now regarded as a contagious disease of malis nant type. Yvi;ni: (Jui bert, ot l'tri. is taking New York and Chicago by storm, he is the pet of the newspapers, the darling of the public and a favorite with '.-rities. The American people are pouring into Mile (iuilberts lap, as fast as possible, a fortune with which she will soon depart for the country of her native. She is certainly a charming Vvetle. Tmk postal service of this country is undergoing many changes and is developing rapidly along ivmnnon sense business lines. The order recently issued, providing that in all cities and towns having free delivery postal service the postal system shall be extend ed to include house to house collection, is promising indeed. In a very short time it may be possible to effect such further improvements in the mail service as to permit the delivery to sweet young girls, in their own parlors, and at regular intervals the most delightful,3of Ioverscommunications, depending some what of course upon their lovers. When Uncle Sam can deliver lover's kisses and serve them warm, to which perfection he is undoubtedly striving, he will have won the everlasting gratitude ot feminine America. Ills TA1ILKCI.OTH. 'Charlemagne possessed a tablecloth noven from asbestos, lie used to astonish his guests after dinner by gathering it up ani throwing it into the tire, from whence he drew it cleansed from gravy and other grease." Charlemagne evidently had ideas on sanitary subjects which might well be emulated by some people not more than 7 14 miles from I'lymouth. Not To IKMte re. It will be remembered the Indkpexiknt a few dajs ago spoke of the report circulated regarding Mrs. Julia AVork, moving t fie orphan asylum here from Lapnrte. In an interview with a Iapnrte Herald repoiter a few clays a.o shfi is reported as follows: "I am under contract with the trustees of the home, which contract expires in March. At that time, if the trustees ee tit to renew the contract, I will remain. On the other hand if my services are no longer needed 1 shall move to I'lymouth and locate on my tarm. I'lymouth has many home ties and it has always been my intention when I retire from this work, to spend my last days at or near that spot where I once spent so many happy moments." fniti the Veneiielan 'iiiiitiHin. The Venezuelan commission met recently in its first regular session. It's work was that of examining the maps of the territory in dispute. Kveiy reader of the Indkpkndknt should have llond, Mc Nally & Co's new Central Atlas with marginal index for the purpose of following closely and intelligently theconstantly shifting points of international interest. A special arrange.nent with Kami, Mc Nally & Co. enables us to offer the people of this city and county this superb new atlas; handsomely bound in silk cloth for a limited time at only Sl.'J."i. We can supply it in ten paper bound numbers at ten cents each if desired. Sudden Death. Mike Kowman, who lived near Ftna Green, died of heart failure Monday morning. Mr. Kowman wa sitting in a chair apparently in his usual health, Mrhen, without an apparent struggle he fell over dead. -- Mr. John Kinsey, a farmer, who resided north of Kourbon, died suddenly Sunday morning. For some time Mr. Kinsey had been a suffer from rheumatism. Sunday morning he attempted to get up about 4 o'clock, and without t moments warning fell dead.Funeral Tod jr. The funeral of Samuel Joseph, of Laporte, brother of Silas Joseph, of this city, will be held today at Donaldson, where the burial will take place. The remains will be brought through by wagon road if the weather permits.

From Georgia Again. We presume there are a good many readers of the independent who are pleased to get news from sections of (leorgia. . We are not running a free (leorgia advertising bureau, but in response to numerous requests have given

up much space to advertising indirectly for land companies, etc., who are undoubtly coining considerable money in the Ceorgia boom. The following letter to Frank Kuchan from his son William, is published by request. Fatiiek andMothek: I am in Albeville (leorgia now, and am working on a farm. 1 weigh ten more pounds since I left home. When you come down here bring lots of corn and hay. corn is worth 81. SO a bushel and hay -fO a ton, and I think it will be more after a while. We heard the frogs holler here last night, did you hear any in 1'lymouthV. Men are working in their shirt sleeves, and women wear sun bonnets down here. It froze here last night about half an inch, but it thawed in a couple of days. The roads are nice and dry. There are about 1Ö0 to 2tK) people that came down here in one day. The next election Wilcox Co. will go Kepublican. It is said that out of 3.000 western men 2.700 are republicans. Well, I must close for this time. Love to all. WM. IJl'ClIAN. I. Klvie Kuchan has been very sick -for the last two weeks, and has been unable to go to school. M. E. Church Notes. Ventilators have recently been placed in the audience room removing the cold air from the floor, reheating it and returning ü warm and mingled with pure air from the outside. New stoves are to be put in place this week. The new otlicers and teachers in the Sunday School are occupying their places with energy. Dr. Krown the new superintendent brings into his otlice five years of experience in superintending such work in other places. J. W. Wiltfong's thorough acquaintance and active sympathy with every child and youth makes him an admirable assistant. The attendance yesterday was large. Miss Anna King led the Kpworth League service, a place for which she is well fitted. W. T. M. S. meets at the parsonage Saturday at 2:30 p. m. The special services are to be continued all the weeks at 7. p. m. also, every afternoon at 2:30 except Monday and Saturday. A genuine revival has been in progress in the church for the past three weeks. Everybody cordially invited Sunday school Officer. The lresbyerian Sunday school, Sunday week, publicly installed the following otlicers for the ensuing year: Superintendent, John W. I'arks. Associate, Chas. K. Leonard. Secretary, Kmma Koontz.

Some of its otlicers are serving their third and fourth years, the superintendent his ninth.. Its sessions are held regularly each Sunday at 12 o'clock A Social Time. Minday night Tillie Wade rendered a complete surprise on her parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. Wade at their home on X . Walnut St. being the twentieth anniversary of their wedding day. Kelatives and a few friends were there The evening was spent well, all report having a good tune. Those present were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. 1. Stegman and daugh ter Louie. Mr. J.

Keller, Miss Mary V. Wade, Miss Kate Iluba. Are Looking ThU Way. We learn that another manufacturing enterprise is looking with longing eyes toward the center of the universe, with a desire of establishing a manufacturing enterprise in our city, and although we are not prepared to give a detailed account of the matter, yet we have learned enough to give this out as authentic. This company has made an offer through one of our most popular citizens in which it offers to establish its business here if 810,000 in stock can be

secured, the company being willing to put up S20.000. This institution pro poses to employ at least 17Ö men. There is no gainsaying the fact that everything is roming our way, and all that is necessary is to out stretch the hand and rake in the plums.

Court Note. From Monday's Daily. In the case of Katie Kent vs Kridget Shay, (Jeorge W. Hoiman, special judge, rendered judgment on the verdict of the jury yesterday. This gives Mrs. Kent possession of the little home now occupied by Mrs. Shay and the latter is practically turned out of doors. From Tuesday's Daily. In the circuit court yesterday, A. (J. Wood, special judge, rendered his decision in the case of Sarah Kennett vs. William II. Craig. In this case the dixiding line between plaintiff and defendant's land was in issue and the court decided in favor of the plaintiff. M A. O. Packard obtained a judgment on note against F. W. Geiselman et at., for si33,0. Mary V. Searle was granted a divorce from (Jeorge C. Searle. John F. McColly sued Fben Parish and Kezia Parish on a note for SI23.O0. Defendants claim to have paid the same, and the case is now on trial before a jury, with Samuel Parker special judge, presiding. Hankered After Other People Proper; y. Marshall Meyer has been carrying a warrant around in his pocket ever since the holidays for a fellow by the name of Kogers, wanted at Kochester. This fellow took a liking to a Colt repeating ritle belonging to a man named Campbell, and during a moment of absent, mindedness it froze to his lingers. The whereabouts of this interesting young man was unknown until Monday, when he was taken into custody while trying to secure a box at the Pennsylvania depot, that had previously contained th gun, but which had been recovered through a search warrant, and returned to the owner Rogers is at present confined in the jail awaiting transfer paper? to Kochester, where he will have to answer the charge placed against him.

Cool wave will cross the west of the Kockies country about 27th, great central valleys 2Vth, eastern states :Ust. What I The Trouble. 1 1 does seem very strange that the editor of the Republican, has shown such an apathy of late, regarding the different matters of importancs that have surely presented themselves to him. He must surely see tint by his iceberg apearence along party lines, hehas caused some little indignation in the Republican camp, and caused a series of questions to be set alloat that if not run to the ground would have rellected upon the political actions of Clerk Wiltfong in no uncertain light. (let in the band wagon, Krother Krooke. A Ouiet We.Himr. Married by the Rev. L. S. Smith at the M. F. parsonage Saturday Jan. 23 at 3 p. m. Alva Hall of Ilion, Olive May Waltz of Walnut They had driven fourteen miles through the drizzling rain caring little for the inconvenience of cold, rain or distance, so they might bear back the seal and signature of the Clerk with the name of the Minister authorizing the establishment of a new country house. A pjM'Uate 'oiirt on f.uiiibliii;. In affirming the decision of a case from the (jil son circuit court the appellate court says: Where it is charged in an indictment that the defendant knowingly permitted a building to be used for gambling purposes it tbes not consist of a single act, but continuous one, and the names of the persons engaged m gambling need not be alleged.
