Potato bugs are said TO be plenty.
On our small patch OF potatoes we
should think there were enough to
eat up ten times the quantity of
plants, but we put four old hens with
their young chickens among them
and now there is not potato bug to
be seen. The potatoes are rather
scarce too.
1t was understood that Mrs.
Wells and Miss Weed. teachers in
the high school would leave Plym-
outh and accept similar situations for
better pay, in Fort Wayne; but our
School board thought best to secure
their services here, if possible, and
have succeeded in doing so. The
high school scholars are delighted.
What has become of the tramps?
Haven't seen one since the great
worlds show opened in Philadelphia.
Perhaps they had turned their atten-
ton to writing Washingington and
Philad' MA letters. We scarcely
get al from the East without an
application to furnish letters at from
80 cents to $500 per column. Some
of the writer's are willing to take their
pay in advertising.

iff and Treasurer not decided, Ferris,

John w. Palmer has a new show
case for spices, which is perfect
beauty. 1t has a clock in it too,
which is not intended to convey the
idea that he sells on tick or time. His
store is the incest in the city, and is
proof positive that grocery store
can be made as attractive as any 9th
er. Call and price his goods and be
convinced that he sells as cheap as
the cheapest. In the Hoham block,
under the REPUBLICAN Office.
"A young man by the name of
Houser, was run over and killed by
train No. 3, on the p, Fit. W. * G. X.
r., on Monday morning, about six
miles west Of Warsaw. Houser work
ed on the Wabash and Michigan r.
R., but had made his home with a
farmer near the place where he was
killed. He was walking across the
railroad on a wagon road when the
engine struck him. He was quite deaf
and probably did not hear the train
or the warning whistle. He was
brought to this place by the same
train which caused his death, and an
inquest was held by Deputy Coroner
Reeve.
Our citizens are not at all salts
fed With the failure to make the nee
essary arrangements for a celebra-
ton on the 4th of July. 1t is proba
BILE another effort will be made. II a
few Of c wealthy business men will
leao eth a subscription of S25
each, pay expenses, the thing will
soon be accomplished The people
in the country, and smaller towns,
want to come to Plymouth and have
genuine fashioned celebration
public Observation-Disclosures
fireworks, and all Some of our citi-
zens would be pecunialily benefited
some would have an opportunity to
display their ability as marshals-
and others read the Declaration OF
Independence and rehearse the story
Of the revolution. Plymouth ought
to celebrate at least once in a CEN
fury.
Last week we claimed the result
Of the election of councilman Alfred
Morrison, in the second ward, as a
Republican triumph. The facts are
that the Democrats publicly called a
meeting of the party by posting a
notice Of the time and place OF meet
ing, and they met and nominated a
candidate. A citizens convention
was called in like manner, and Mr..
Morrison, a Republican, was nomin-
ated, as citizen. Mr.. Morrison hav-
ing been a very efficient member OF
the council was reelected by a very
emphatic majority. The candidates
were both good. honest citizens, and
men of good character. Loesch got
some Republican votes, and Morrison
some Democratic votes; bat as Mr.
Morrison did not run as Republi-
can candidate, he is not satisfied tC
have his election claimed as a Repub.
lican triumph. 1t is immateria
whether it is claimed as a Republi.
can triumph, or not-a Republican
was elected because he was supposed
to be the best man for the office.
