DEAR REPUBLICAN.-
Our city was filled with people, Saturday
last, the day OF the temperance mass meet
ing. Several speakers flom a distance were
in attendance, and addressed the meeting
But one sentiment appeared to prevail,
and that was determination to do every
thing possible TO sustain the liquor law
passed by our last legislature Il is now
probable that our town will soon be
without saloon as the proprietors Of all
in our place say they viii give up the
sale OF intoxicating liquors as soon as
their license expires, which Will be in a
few wee rs, at ialthest Sorry you could
not have been with us.on Saturday.
The few warm days of last week set a
considerable number of plows in motion :;
but as a general thing our farmers have
found the ground too wet to pillow or
have preferred to wait until after East
err when warm weather is likely 10 con
tinue, and justify starting plows.

Great complaint is made against the
railroad company for the bad arrange
ment of trains between Plymouth, this
place and Warsaw; but especially incon-
venient is it for our citizens to go to, and
return from Plymouth. A very little
trouble on the part of the company
could remedy this entirely, and put CON
siderable money in the companys treas
ury. Who will move in this matter?

teachers, and full and fair discussion IF
