The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1868-03-19


THE donation for the benefit of Rev.
Mr.. Timmons on Thursday evening, was
quite numerously attended. The total
amount donated was Sll2,-one half of
which was given by persons not connected
with any church. A vote was taken du-
ring the evening requesting Mr.. Timmons
to remain here another year He. will be
doubt grant the request. Mr.. Timmons
has endeared himself to the people of this
place by his efforts to concliate true friend
ship among those who might otherwise
have remained at perpetual distance
He breaches the gospel as he understands
it, allowing those who differ with him the
privilege of entertaining their own par
ticular views without abusing them for
opinions sake. He is gentleman of lib
eral views, whose social qualities have
made him hosts of friends in this commu-
nifty, and will continue to make him a
general favorite SO long as he shall! remain
with US.
THERE is no class of people that enjoy
life so we'll as the Germans. To be hap
Ply and to make every one happy with
whom they come in contact seems to be
the grand aim they have in view. They
seldom go to law with one another,
or have any trouble or difficulty with any
one. They are, a class, industrious,
economical, and as a natural consequence
generally, well to do in the world. They
pay their taxes and all demands made
against them with promptness and a
willingness which every one would do we'll
to initiate. Just north of us, only few
miles, is one of the richest sections Of
country in Northern Enthusiastically in
Marshall country. The inhabitants are
nearly all Germans, and although it has
been but few years since the name of
German Township was given to it, the in
habitants thereof are almost "out of the
wilderness" Large and we'll cultivated
farms, commodious farm-houScs and barn S
are now everywhere to be seen where
only short time ago the red man of the
forest held undisputcd sway. Bremen
the seat Of justice of German township
is a thriving village, whose population is
mostly of German extraction. They know
how to enjoy themselves, and Uncle VIM
Garrison and others Of our citizens who
were over there not long ago, are of the
opinion that the people have organized
themselves into a committee Of the
whole A." for the purpose of making thei
friends feel perfectly at home while
amongst them. And it is no wonder the,
so well succeed in accomplishing thei
purpose Such men as Jonas Miller, J OH
Soice, Jacob Knoblock, and host of 9th
; er equally good fellows seldom undertak
anything to make life enjoyable with beins
successful. They have "glee club
over there, and we suspect Jonas Mile
and his musical children have a larg
t share in it. They also have brass ban,
= which was organized a number of year
ago. We contemplate making visit t
: the village of Bremen one of these days
d when We shall make note of what we Sc
: and hear, the improvements that hav
!, been made there in the past few years, it
= future prospects, &c. The route we in
tend TO take is over the plank road fror
L here, or if it is not completed when W
get ready to so, then by rail road t
Plymouth, and thence by steamboat u
Yellow river to the wharf at Bremen
