Dipert has had his pension inslo to sl7 a month. I Julius Barnes & Co., LaPorte, have I j important announcement in this is sue. Huckleberries are abundant in the small marshes and generally of fine quality. Attention is called to change in the ad of Leonard Logan, the enterprising Teegarden merchant. The membership of the Dorcas Soci • ety, just organized by the ladies of the M. E. church, has increased to 18. The North Liberty News is now located in a new brick room of its own. The News is to be congratulated on its success. The L. E. A W. is putting in a turn table at Plymouth, which has been made the terminus for two passenger trains on that road. The ladies of the Relief Corps will hold an ice cream festival on the L. E. A W. grounds near the band stand, Sat urday evening, July 1, beginning at 4:30 o’clock. Ice cream and cake 10 cents. A citizen called on the water works officials one day this week and offered to pay a little extra for the use of water for his premises instead of kicking on the regular rates. We thought this incident peculiar enough to make a newsy item. The huckleberry buyers in this place had a little war on prices Monday and berries went up to eight cents a quart. The war, however, w’as of brief duration as a compromise was effected and berries dropped to six cents a quart on Tuesday. Mrs. John V. Astley, an estimable woman of Plymouth, died at her home in that place June 25, aged 59 years, 2 months and 12 days. She leaves a husband, two daughters, three sons and six sisters to mourn her death. She was a sister of Mrs. H. B. Whitlock. A branch hanging thick with fine cherries was brought to this office last Tuesday by M. R. Burger. The tree from which the branch was taken was planted on Mr. Burger’s premises six years ago and it is seven feet high and yielded two bushels of fruit this season. Quite a nmber of cement walks have been built in Walkerton this season and more are now under construction. These improvements are right up to date and show enterprise. Walkerton has been steadily advancing in the way of improvements for several seasons and is getting the reputation of being one of the prettiest and most enterprising towns in northwestern Indiana. The good work should be kept moving. A skeleton was dug up by workmen at Mishawaka a few days ago while excavating for a building in the business center. The skeleton was found in a Bitting posture. Some of the c : tizens hold to the belief that the skeleton is that of Cy Kelley, a meat dealer of that place who disappeared 20 years ago. Kelley drew S9OO from the bank one day and was never seen from that time. Evidences of his murder were found but the crime could never be located. TYie man or woman who can look at ' the deeds of others and judge them with charity, even when they have an evil ap pearance, has the spirit of the Master, who taught the gospel of charity. Such ; men and women are rare, but when they appear they are as royal souls among the mass who delight to misinterpret their fellows, and challenge their every aspiration with a cruel misjudgement. In this gospel of charity Christ has

some followers, but humanity has not enough learned the lesson to save many an innocent victim of unfortunate circumstances from the tongue of slander and the shaft of groundless suspicion.— A. P. Kent in Elkhart Review. Sam J. Cunningham, who recently wrote Colonel Durbin, of A.nderson, inquiring what the chances would be for the proposed military company of this place entering the service, has received the following reply: “Dear Sir: Yours 24th. If a call for troops should be made it will not, as I understand it, be made upon the states. Officers will be selected and commissioned by the President to recruit and all officers will be appointed by the President. Preference, as 1 understand it, will be given those who have seen service. I don’t know what, if any, part I will have in the matter. If an opportunity offers I shall use my influence to have Indiana furnish a regiment and you can know later on what the pros pects are for getting in. Very Truly Yours, W. T. Durbin.”

The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and potted plants. The exercises were well rendered. Wm. H. Myeio tad a warrant issued for the arrest of young Jesse Dare, charging him with attempting to provoke an assault. When the time arrived for trial before Justice McDaniel, Myers withdrew the case. Dan Brubaker received a dispatch Friday morning from Fitzgerald, Ga., stating that his mother was seriously ill and gradually sinking. He expects to leave for Fitzgerald this morning Sat urday. Later.—Mr. Brubaker received a later telegram bearing the sad news of his mother’s death. Congressman A. L. Brick left today for Washington, D. C., to attend to officical business. He will probably be absent for some time as considerable business has accumulated demanding his attention and presence at the na tional capital.—South Bend Tribune, June 29. On June 29 to July 10, inclusive, the B. A O. railroad will sell tickets to Mountain Lake Park, Md., at one fare for the round trip. Rsturn limit: leaving Mountain Lake Park to and including July 15, 1899. For further information call on or address nearest ticket agent or B. N. Austin, general passenger agent, Chicago, 111. Messrs. E. E. Russell, of Buchanan, Mich., and John G. Trimble, of Benton Harbor, Mich., are in this place for the purpose of organizing a Court of the Order of Patricians, a fraternal benefit association chartered under the laws of I the state of Michigan. This order is but three years old but so rapid has been its growth that the total member ship now is 3,000. Both men and women are accepted into membership, thus making the social privileges a pleasant and desirable feature of the order. The membership fee is reasonable and the cost of insurance very moder ate. A very good feature of the association is its reserve fund, which is used in the payment of excessive benefit assessments. Forty per cent of the per capita assessment is placed into | this fund. Another excellent feature I is the loans to members, who may borrow money from the association, when the amount in the reserve fund is suf ficient to warrant so doing, to an amount not exceeding the holder s benefit certi ficate, on real estate security at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent per annum. Those wishing life insurance at a low cost will doubtless find it to their inter est to investigate the advantages offered by this association. Cider.

It is everywhere admitted to be the most successful remedy in use for bowel complaints and the only one that never fails. It is pleasant, safe and reliable. Clem Studebaker, the wagon maker, says that Indiana should pay more attention to forestry. Hardwood trees should be planted. The ash, hickory and walnut are scarce in the state. The Studebakers go south for timber. The state loses factories as the forests disappear. Mills consuming timber must locate where a supply may be had. We should plant trees for future generations. The present is the best time to begin. The Elkhart Review is responsible for the following: The pastor of one of our churches once had occasion to speak ton little girl, a member of one of the classes in Sunday school, about not being pres ent the Sunday before, and incidentally he remarked: “I hear you swear some times.” The girl asked, “Who told you I so?” “Oh, a little bird." After a mo • I ment of thought the child looked up,' । and with apparent innocence of doing wrong, said, "I ll bet it was one of those damned sparrows.” The Deaconess Work.

IS IT RIGHT I or an Editor to Recommend Patent Medicine? From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by B. E. Williams. Thomas Rhodes, Centerfield, Ohio., writes: “I suffered from piles seven or eight years. No remedy gave me relief until DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, less than a box of which permanently cured me.” Soothing, healing, perfectly harmless. Beware of counterfeits. B. E. Williams.
