The Lutherans are having a
grand fair in the Centennial Opera
House. The hall is beautiful deco
rated with pictures and works of art.
The ladies furnish the tables with all
the delicacies desirable to satisfy the
appetite.
Last evening Willard Wilcox, a
painter and a member OF the Plym-
outh Band, fell down the steps leading
to the basement barber shop in the
Centennial Block and broke his right
thigh bone about one third of the
distance from the knee. He was just
starting to go down the stairs when
turning to speak to some one, his foot
caught against something and he fell
backwards down the steps. He was
attended by DIR. Confer.
The Democrat published on the
Sd inst, contained an account of the
organization of a Hayes and Wheeler
club in this city, which was about as
fair and truthful as anything we ex-
peet to see in Democratic papers this
year, about Republican speeches and
meetings. We give the closing sen
tence of the article as specimen
brick-"There were about one hun
dred in attendance, forty of whom
were women, twenty-five Democrats,
and the remainder Republican, few
of whom remained and signed the
club roll"
The Democratic Tilden and Hen
bricks Reform club of Plymouth, is
liberal in its financial management.
Especially in the collection of money
to defray expenses. No dues, fines,
or assessments are to be collected.
The treasury is pretty closely guard
ed. When money is once paid in it
will be a difficult matter to get it
out, if the laws of the club ara strict
" enforced. mo money shall be
discussed by the treasurer, except by
order of the executive committee,
after they shall have been so instruc-
ted by two thirds of the members of
said club present at any regular or
special meeting to so order said mon
ely expended"
