Fries, editor of the Bremen Enquirer, made the Independent a social call while waiting to change cars at this place Friday. He was returning from Michigan City, where he had been attending a meeting of the Association of Indiana Weeklies, an organization re cently formed by a number of editors of weekly papers. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Clark’s little son Edwin met with a serious accident last Friday. While holding the sharp end of a lead pencil in hie mouth he fell and the pencil penetrated about an inch be tween the upper and lower jaws, inflicting a wound which bled very profusely, causing the boy to faint. Dr. Tracy was called and dressed the in jury. A number of grain dealers of this sec tion held a meeting at the Hotel Starr in this place Tuesday evening to discuss matters bearing in a general way upon the grain business, The main topic of discussion was freight rates and it was the unanimous feeling of the meeting that grain dealers should co-operate with the state ’«sociation in an effort to secure lower shipping rates from the railroads. While taking out a pane of glass from an old sash Monday with a pocket-knife John Schwartz received a cut that for awhile threatened serious results. The knife slipped and cut the radial artery in the loft wrist from which over three pints of blood flowed before it was ( checked, Mr. Schwartz being so weak from lose of blood that he could not walk without assistance. Dr. Miranda, assisted by Dr. Tracy, dressed the wound.

The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs, George Pommert was celebrated Tuesday, December 15, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Leßoy. Mr. Pommert was 75 years old and Mrs. Pommert 72. About 40 relatives were present, who entertained themselves by games and target shooting until the welcome dinner call waeTrSardV —A-ikie-repast was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Pommert were presented with SSB in gold. Mr. Pommert responded feelingly, expressing much appreciation for the generous present and his enjoyment of the happy gathering. The afternoon was spent in games. A game of horse-shoe between Albert Pommert and William Beaudway on one side and William Dixon and Charley Pommert on the opposite, was the feature of the afternoon. When the supper call was heard it was obeyed with much less enthusiasm and eagerness than at noon, as the party had not yet fully recovered from the bounteous noon-day spread, L’he pleasant occasion will not soon be forgotten by the participants. Miss Willmer, Reader and Entertainer. The Potters, who were announced to fill the third number of the lecture course Friday evening, were unable to meet their engagement here on account of sickness. Miss Sarah Willmer, reader and entertainer, was sent as a substitute by the Lyceum bureau. Mies Willmer gave a high grade entertainment which was thoroughly appreciated by the audi once. She is a reader and entertainer of great ability and she did not fail to hold ihe delighted attention of her hearers every minute of the hour and a half that she entertained them. Her interpretation of character displayed high art, and her delivery was magnetic and graceful. As a reader Miss Willmer has certainly reached a high place in her profession. It was one of the most pleasing entertainments of the kind ever given in Walkerton. For Buyers of Merchandise.

When a woman 19 indifferent to ths size of her feet, it is a sign of old age. Occasionally there are two right sides and two wrong sides to a question Almost everyone who can’t sing was at one time a member of a church choir. A boy is not as affectionate with his mother as his sisters, for fear she will i smell tobacco. If you are getting up a public enter-1 tainment. avoid speakers; people are tired of speakers. A girl who has been engaged a number of years always looks like a woman who lias been married. Did anyone in the world ever meet anyone who talked the dialect found in some poetry and some books? Few men can pass a woman wearing a new dress without turning to look to see how it tits in the back. We never go to a party that we do not wonder where all the men are coming from to marry the girls present. To save annoyance, a man should use the telephone just as he uses his re-volver-only in cases of absolute necessity. Send a boy upstairs after anything, and he will yell out before he reaches the top of the stairs, that he can't find It. Women imagine that old men sit and sigii for lost loves, but it is nearer the truth that they are sighing over wasted dollars. The worst thing that can happen to a poor man is to get In the way of associating with men who have a good deal of money. There is one kind of a man we have never seen, and never expect to see—a rich man who thinks he can play a little, and sing a little. The poor kin at a swell wedding got as much enjoyment in predicting that the bridal couple “won’t get along." as they get in looking at the cut glass.
