EDEroR REPUBLICAN:
As it is customary in writing, to give
first, that of most importance, we will
dwell for while on that which most
concerns US now, and that is the drouth,
and consequent hot weather.
Who can tell why we have been less
favored with rain, than the people in and
! about Plymouth have beeny Is it be-.
cause we are less righteous, 1--WE do not
believe that We are) or is it due to some
other cause.
We but yesterday overheard man
say, not many miles from here, that it
was a Judgment OF the Lord sent upon
us Tor our wickedness." In this we have
no faith. Does not the Bible say that the
Lord sendeth his rain alike upon the
just and the unjust:" Let this be as it
may, unless there be rain very soon,
much of the corn will be beyond resusci-
tation.
A fine shower of rain fell on last Sun
day night, which revivified The corn to
some extent, however all the rain imagi-
nable could not make the crop what it
promised month ago. Scien lists tell us
that 1t is necessary to have drouth, to
properly fecundate the earth or soil. Per-
haps this is so. One thing we do know
that it is quite unpleasant to rdure the
existence Of drouth, and witness its des
troying effect.
DIR. G.. A. burr has had his buggy
regenerated. 1t shines now like "Ne-
groe's heel" so beware gals" Won know
that cupids archer has been thrusting his
arrows at the hearts of the maidens. in
this community for some time past: and
the Dr. IL now in the matrimonial field.
so you better lose no time in sending in
your bids, lest that you lose the opportu-
nifty of securing good home, so desir u
bic. and still more to he desired a oood
husband, one SO versatile. and good
linguist, fiucntly speaks English, French,
and Dutch, and one so doubly able TO
heal your woes. soothe your sorrows. and
allay your fears.
Joseph W. Miller, our merchant, has
sold out 10 Dr. Rogers. We hone the
new merchant will I'LL up and keep ON
hand full stock necessary fo- county |
store
There certainly is a splendid field here /
tor a merchant of the right stamp
We firmly believe that a merchant who
is able to carry a large stock of goods,
with good variety, would count dollars
and cents faster here than any merchant t
of Plymouth does to-day
What Mr. Miller designs pursuing in
the future We are unable to say; but trust
he VIII remain here and assist in improv-
ing the village. We would suggest that
he build hotel, which. We believe would
prove good investment.
