lueSudy, July lotl, 1910.
Rains have ceased at present
Farmers are done harvesting.
The timothy crop is excellent.
The corn crop on low lands is
very much damaged.
Some farmers have commenced
threshing their wheat.
Mr.. Chasteen Pickerl, who has
returned from Valparaiso, where he
has been going to school for some
time past, reports a general good
time.
Mr.. Tucker, OF Center township
was seen traversing our crooked
roads last week, to shun the Plym-
outh marshal. He says he had lit
tie fight. and when the marshal found
himself in a wash tub he thought II
time for Tucker to hunt the woods.
Rev. Town addressed a very at
tentive audience at Wolf Creek last
Sabbath. Mr.. Town has revived
quite an interest in this locality. He
will address the people of this place
every two weeks at the usual hour
three, p. m.

as would require the farmers to work

manner in which his enterprise is be-

and asks us TO say that be will spare
no pains or expense to make the

resentative Of Plymouth and her busi-
ness interests.
Mr.. Holland has for a number OF
years been engaged in the business
Of publishing directories; and one
very good evidence Of the correctness
of his publications is, that when he
has published one for a city he fol
lows it up with another, and so on
from year to year. His directories
are popular with the citizens Of La
Porte.

The town was almost deserted

busy stacking wheat and hay.
Last Friday night one Of the ex-

to such an extent that she was after
wards killed.
Chapman, without a rooster,
spent Sunday and part Of Monday
in Argos. His wife has been here for
several days.
Jasper N. Hess has been INSTALL

quite an official appearance. All Is
serenely quiet
If "labor is NOBLE" We wish some
man would show his nobility by hoe
ing our garden. 1t is too great an
undertaking for us.
Some Juvenile thieves entered
the butcher shop OF Lansdown &
Martin last Saturday night and stole
several pounds Of bologna.
We had an article written up
about the meteor OF the sth inst, but
the Chicago Tribune knocked all the
wind out OF our sails. We will wait
for the next one now.
1t is difficult to foretell the end
of half dozen or more Argos lads,
unless they are restrained i'm some

complaint, we would recommend the
cold finger Of the law. It might
prove salutary.
