PLYMOUTH.

EDITOR News. Where! oh, where
Is "Loafer?" Has he gone over to
the Lbs, or Is he electioneeringf As
we hear nothing from him through
The NEWS we will send few items.
Our little village Is still here,
though railroadIcally speaking tPatent
applied for) our town Is somewhat like
the Indians place OF nativity, when
he said he was "born at Nantucket,
Cape Cod, and all along the shore"
Almost any place from Moon Greek to
Buckeye L. Plymouth.
Two marriages since the last Ply
mouth letter to The NEWS. The first
was our excellent township trustee,
C. G. Lynch and Miss Charlotte Jacobs
and last Mr.. jas. 8. Pickett and Miss
Rachel j. Osborn. Each couple were
honored( p with first-class serenade,
with circular saw aud stovepipe accom-
paniaments. May their welded lives
thus ushered in with 'nourish Of
trumpets" and ringing OF bells be
peaceful and prosperous.
u. s. Pickett has entirely remodel
ed his dwelling, built q handsome addi-
ton and put new siding on the old
house, and BOW has a neat residence, a
fine young bride and is township clerk.
What more could heart desire:
&C. C. Lynch will soon occupy his
house in town and we may expect Inn
provements there.
M. Sanders is finishing the inside
work of lis residence south of town.
&C. w. Lambdin has recently built a
neat little house and we learn that the
old Lambdln residence will soon be re-
modelled and greatly improved.
Many improvements In our village
and adjacent farms are in contempla-
ton, which will De duly noticed.
The A. T. & s. F. railroad has
commenced It's grand annual exhibit
ton of fireworks in this vicinity. AL
ready two fires have been started by |
passing locomotives, and had It not
been for prompt action on the part Of
the section hands and others, would |
doubtless have been very destructive. |
Political matters are rather quiet.
Our people have selected their men
and no amount of "soft soap will in
them. Our candidate for Rep
Judge Young, will carry
the township solid, and of course get
handsome majority in the district.
Why don't the Liberals come to
Plymouth and blow their horns? Send
US up one and lets hear from both sides,
but please don't send Sam Wood. We
have done nothing to merit such an
affection as that.
Our district school, under the care
Of our excellent teacher, Miss Bessie
Young, is progressing finely. Vocal
music is one branch of study in the
school. Our district board have decid-
I'd to employ none but first-class teach
ers, and this rule If adopted by all
schools, would no doubt be of great
benefit to the schools and would ele-
rate the profession of teaching, as it
would send multitudes of teachers to
'hewing wood and drawing WATER"
where they belong.

Work is progressing on the build

manner in which both are done is en-
tirely creditable to the gentleman
named. The mere mention that
Frank Mccain has the job of plaster
ing is a sufficient guarantee that it
will be well done.

LoAFER HEARD FROM.


Since tile above was In type we have
received the following from "Loafer :"
Our Quaker community are attend
ing their yearly meeting at Lawrence.
Corn is rapidly being gathered and
viii produce good crop.
Our last political meeting was we'll
attended. We listened to able address,
es from Gov. Eskridge, L. N. Robin
son and G. B. Bachelor. They all did
well; their speeches were interesting,
but we prefer speechmaking as the old
woman took her whisky, "leetie and
often; leetle andOften."
Since our last an occasional we'd
ding has somewhat relieved the usual
mOnotoRy of our quiet village and
We doubt not brought unalloyed
felicity to the happy participants.
Our venerable friend Charley Lynch
has at last found one to share his joys
and troubles, and we hear 1t said since
the event looks ten years younger.
And then, Jim Pickett-yes, little
Jimmy, did the same. Poor deluded
souls! But such is fate.
We learn from private letters from
Harvey county that our old townsman
J. w. Smith has been nominated by
the republicans of Harvey county for
Representative. We know not why
Mr.. Smith should engage In the politi-
cal warfare. We thought him too
honest. But if Harvey county wants
= man who is scrupulously honest,
whose integrity Is above reproach,
whose devotion to principle Is unwav-
ering and whose good private charac-
ter is above the shadow of doubt that
Mr.. Smith is as good choice as could
be made. We congratulate Mr.. Smith
on the prospect of his election and
believe Harvey county will never re-
pent her choice.
Your truly, LoAFER.

READLNG.

Mr.. EDITOR: Reading is qGiet, ex-
cepting what little excitement prevails
over the wedding of last week, of
which speak hereafter.
Our school is advancing rapidly
under the supervision of w. NJ. Holli-
day, who is in every way qualified to
teach our highest schools. He teaches
without rod or lash, and has the best
of order.
MIR. Hyatt has gone east after
goOds-will probably bring a little of
everything.
The railroad company is endeav-
oring to burn our town up by letting
fire ny from their engines. Yesterday
the grass In front of Mr.. Davies house
caught fire from passing engine, and
tried to get away with two or three
residences, but owing to timely aid
the flames were defeated in their pur-
pose.
This morning, while at the train
going north, i met my old friend and
comrade, Capt. D. L. Payne. He said
he felt sleepy, had not had any sleep
for two or three nights. The Captain
is canvassing the State In the Liberal
cause. No wonder he don't sleep.
Who could, engaged in that cause, after
the past elections?
The Readingites have been slight
cd and fhnry 60 kaly n
slight, too. This one is grieving them
badly. Just think, a man who has
been raised to the high and honorable
position of Justice of the Peace, by
our votes, to slight rs by not asking
our preseRce, collectively, at his we'd
ding is almost the same as signing our
death warrants. Strategy is soldiers
pride. This hero must be soldier or
close on to one, for he used strategy in
keeping us in ignorance as to his go
ing to get married, or when the we'd
ding would be. A yonng gentleman
heard him ask the father fer the bride,
but we knew nothing of this. This
married hero went to Emporis during
fair week and bought $40, Is, or 800
worth of dry goods for himself and
lady, but VIC knew nothing of this. |
The bride told some few, but the
masses did not know this. So on
Tuesday morning, October sth, ali Of
us felt that there was something going
to happen on that particular morning,
knowing nothing whatever. Owing
to Mr.. Penfeld's strategy in keeping
it 4 secret) that there was going to be
q wedding on that day, we attributed
our strange feelings to a change in the |
weather. Although we were fooled,
and feel so bad about it, the wedding |
did take place. Mr.. w. II. Penfield |
and Miss Mary E. Fem were married. |
May all the happiness due to so loving
a couple be theirs during time to come,
is the wish OF all friends and especially
TYPO.

we had good job printing offices here,

We have frequently been asked why
We did not canvass the towns along
the A. T. & s. +. railroad southwest OF
here tor such work. Our reply has
always been that nearly all those
towns had printing offices which need
ed all the home work, and we would
not interfere with them. Whenever
we have sent out our agents we have
universally instructed them not to so
llclt Job work where there was print
ing ONCE that could do such work as
the business men demanded. The
