been travelling through the country,
swindling farmers and others, by selling
them a powder to make butter. The cor

the powder not to be injurious, but that it
made his whole family silk, as well as

on the west side, this week, and with
much better prospects than ever before.
The financial condition of the company
has been much improved since last year,
and the thorough means taken to extend
Its business throughout the State by eff

having all the orders it can fill the present
season.

for sowing grain looked dark blue. But
it was not to last, however, as quite a
heavy shower of rain followed on Tues

ent writing Thursday the sun and wind
are fast bringing the soil into good con-
dition to receive the grains.

5 o'clock train on the Central for Win
throp, their purpose being to be present at
the organization of new lodge of the
Order in our flourishing neighbor on the
east. d. D. G.. NJ. Holman was found on
the train, tbound for the same destination,
and armed with the authority and supplies
necessary to set the new organization at
work. Arriving without accident, the
first thing to be done was to partake of a
bountiful and appetizing supper, spread
by mine host Patterson of the Winthrop
House, to which ample justice was done
by the hungry guests. After supper.
Deputy Holman and his numerous body
of assistants, proceeded to Masonic Hall,
where in due form 10 charter members of
the new lodge were initiated into the mys-
teries of the Order, and Its officers duly
installed by Bro. Holman. The new
lodge is composed of some of the hest
men of Winthrop and vicinity, and GER
tainly starts out on its career with the
most flattering promise of prosperity and
usefulness. The name adopted for ii,
after some pleasant and spicy discussion,
is Fraternity Lodge, No. -" the num-
Der to be designated hereafter.
After the arduous duties of the evening
were fulfilled, and the new lodge had been
safely launched, the brethren of fraternity
Lodge ushered their guests into the large
apartment in the rear of the hall, and
there spread before them most elegant
and liberal supper, prepared by the assist.
ance of the ladies. All partook of the
refreshments with appetites whettcd by
the previous labor, and when satisfied,
prepared for departure, with many greet
ings and congratulations. The brethren
of Evergreen Lodge, one and all, voted
the occasion one of unalloyed pleasure
and enjoyment.

that the regular passenger trains on the

is in consequence of the company being
compelled to comply with the tariff law,
and it cannot afford to run first. class trains
for second class fare.

REV. F. A. MARSH, Pastor of the Bap-
fist Church of this city, has had call
from Fon du Lac, Wis, to take charge of
the Baptist Church of that city, and, as
the offer is liberal one, he will probably
accept it. Our Baptist friends will lose
an able and conscientious pastor, and
the people of Fon du Lac will have an
accession to their force of earnest christian
workers, whom they will soon learn to
appreciate and prize highly. If Mr..
Marsh shall finally conclude to accept the
call, he will leave Independence with the
genuine respect and kindly wishes of all
classes and creeds in the community.
