The Westville Indicator completes Vol 4 this week, under the management
of E. E. Drom. The Indicator has ever been an independent sheet, with a
leniency toward the right side of every question. Its editor, ably
assisted by his wife, has made for Westville a newspaper which is a
credit to the town.
An exchange says: "An eastern firm very generously sent us an order for
advertising, to be paid for in seeds. We thank you, gentlemen, we are
about as seedy now as we can be and get about town. If you have any
patent adjustable pants patches, you can send them along with your
electro-plate.
The Furnessville correspondent of the Michigan City Enterprise is
evidently seeking notoriety. In the last issue of that paper he
"exposes one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on the people of
Pine township by M.L. Brummitt." Before believing the gush of a
youngster we would like to hear the facts in the case from responsible
parties.
Gen. Lew Wallace, of Crawfordvill, favors changing the national name
from "United States" to "America". He says the latter is a passport
to
traveling Americans in countries where the "United States" is not known.
The name "United States" is good enough for us, and this grand old Union
is not obliged to put away the old name for the benefit of a few globe
trotters.
The matter of beautifying the town should engage the interest of every
citizen who lays claim to good taste. Beauty is an element that
accompanies all high civilization. Neither the community nor the
individual, who has no appreciate on beauty, can lay claim to being
highly civilized. There is room for improvement - oh a great amount of
room for improvement is making Chesterton a handsome town. Two or three
hundred shade trees judiciously planted would be a first step.
Last week a car load of Swedes and Norwegians who left Chicago to work
in the Michigan pineries, became involved in a quarrel near Michigan
City, which resulted in the severe cutting of three innocent and
inoffensive persons. Swan Anderson, who did the cutting, was arrested
at Michigan City, and taken by Sheriff Thomas to Valparaiso for trial.
The cutting occurred while passing through Porter County.
