Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-06-04
A Trip to Plymouth.

We took pleasant trip to Plymouth,
last Thursday morning, ON the c. p. & G..
II. II. This road is now doing good pas
senger business-mueh greater than it was
anticipated could be done on it, SO soon af-
ter its completion to that place. There
were perhaps over one hundred passengers
on the train we were on, bound for the East
and South. Nearly all the passengers were
transferred, without delay or inconvenience,
to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chica-
go Road, which we learn is doing heavy
passenger and freight business This is
said to be the shortest and quickest route
now. to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and
Washington City. ~ isdlea
Railroad communication has infused life
and vigor into the citizens of our neighoor-
ing village, Plymouth. New and tasteful
dwelling houses are being erected in every
part of the village. Several new buildings
have been erected for stores, in the places OF
those destroyed by fire few weeks since
most of those buildings are temporary,
only to be used until better ones can be put
up in their places-there are exceptions,
however--one building erected by Mr.. PER-
sHISG, who as''got used to being burnt out,
is much larger and better than any of the
old Ones a
The lumber business, since the Railroads
have given an outlet, has become an impor-
tant item in the trade of Plymouth. There
are now four Saw Mills in the village, all
in good order, cutting lumber at the rate OF
from 5000 to 10000 feet per day. which
sells reality at $40 per 1000. We may
safely calculate that the four mills produce
$500 worth of lumber per day. Itfinds a
market in Laportc, Chieago and the Prairie
country generally. There are two grist
mills in the village. both of which are pro-
pellel by steam, when in operation. One
of the mills is now undergoing repairs
Our friend II. ii. l,IeE, recently in the en-
ploy of the c. p & c. II. r. Co., as freight
agent, in Plymouth, has purchased an in
tere>t in one of the grist mills and one of
tn, saw mills He is an active, energetic
an honorable business man. He deserves
success and we have no doubt he will have
it.
We ha not time to 80 through the VIII
lage aaI notice all the improvements and
manufacturing establishments; but we saw
enough to convince us that Plymouth is des-
tined to be a village of considerable impor-
tancc in a short time. Men of capital and
energy are investing their money in proper
ty there. Farmers find a ready sale for
their produce of every kind, at good prices.
Mechanics find employment in abundance.
We called on our friend and co-laborer
in the Republican cause, Mr.. MArTISGLy
of the RePudican, and found him busy at
the press, in fine spirits. Helosta consid-
cradle portion of his type by the late fire,
but he has supplied their place with new
,nes. He has also built an office where he
will not be likely to be disturbed by fire a
gain. The Republican is one of the best
papers in the State, and deserves the sup
port ofthe citizens of Marshall county.
We also visited the Democrat Office, but
did not find the Editors in. The Democrat
is spirited Democratic paper, and merits
the support of its party.
1t was our good fortune to stop at the
Edwards House," formerly well kept by
w. G. Edwards, but now in charge of MIR.
5. Budd, an experienced hotel-keeper. who
knows how to entertain travellers. He is
pleasant and agreeable-kecps everything
in good order about him. His table arrange
ments are precisely to our liking. We adj
wise our friends to stop at the Edwards
House. when they go to Plymouth.
We thank Mr.. MILLlGAS, for his kindly
notice Of the REPUBLICAN, and are more
than happy to be able to apply all he says
OF it. and more. to the Ih;on.
