Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-06-29
Argos.
BY "MAC. CAwBER.



The dance on the green, at Tiosa,
last Saturday, was favored with a
fight
As the school excitement has
about subsidized we are not disposed
to revive it,
Argos will be well represented at
your place on the 4th, prox., if the
weather is pleasant.
As an evidence of magnanimity
no small boys have been hired or
prompted to shout Post Office"
The plastering is falling off our
school house, the roof leaks like a
riddle, and mechanics pronounce the
building fraud.
If y. A. Miller, Esq, of the Peru
Sentinel, made flying visit to Argos
one night last week" we don't know
it.
-Macomber. of Bremen, hopes that
our candidate for Representative will
have Snepp (snap) enough to beat 10.
Davis. We believe he will.
The latest definition of flying
visit" is,-arriyed at 10 o'clock, p. m.
and departed at IL o'clock, p. M,
same night Must be seen by two.
Crowd in, is the title of little
volume we once read. We commend
to all its careful perusal, as it con-
tains many grains Of solid wisdom.
Rev. Faude, rector of St. Thomas
church, Plymouth, will hold service
at this place on Wednesday evening,
July 18th. All are cordially invited
to attend. Service to commence at
Z 40 o'clock.
We had a fearful storm last night
The lightning was almost continuous,
there were occasional tremendous
peals or thunder, the wind blew per-
feet gale and the floods descended.
We don't like it. A vast amount of
clover has been spoiled or damaged
by the rains. and the farmers are
fearful that the weather during the
wheat harvest will be repetition Of
that of last year.
1t is suggested that a few more
newspapers be established in Mar
shall county, so as TO afford all desir-
Gus of performing reportorial duty an
opportunity TO cover themselves all
over with glory, 1t is field OF inn
mortality, and all should labor there
in, whether solicited or not By the
way, it may not be generally known
that the Bremen Gazette is without an
Argos correspondent
On last Saturday, at Plymouth.
we met many personal and political
friends from various parts of the
county. We also met Gen. Packard,
with whom we held long and pleas
ant interview. He is beginning to
show the marks Of time, yet mani
tests that same remarkable activity
and ambition which characterized
him in the days of yore. We feel
that it is your province to do the con
vention, though we have "a word to
say about the only candidate from
Walnut township,-a gentleman we
had the pleasure of proposing, and
who was unanimously nominated.
We refer 10 Mr.. Elias Hess, candidate
for Commissioner for the 3D. district.
Mr.. Hess is one of our well TODD
farmers, a man of solid, practical
sense, and who fully understands and
comprehends the feelings of the tax
payers of the county. He is not a
partizan, in the ordinary acceptation
OF the term, and we have no hesitancy
in saying he is just the man who
should receive the support of the
property owners OF the county. III
elected we believe his work would be
such that a reelection would only de-
pend upon a denomination, but at
some future time we shall have more
to say relative to his merits.
There appears to have been some
difficulty at, and previous to, the
Green Township Republican C0nven-
/ ton, which demands an explanation.
WILDER f. Newhouse has sent us a
statement OF facts, and requests us to
give them to the public, which we
cheerfully do. Mr.. N. lives near the
I line of Green and Union townships,
with no school house within reason
able distance. Having children to
educate he is, of course, anxious for
school privileges. Last winter he
circulated a petition praying for a
school house, which was signed by
the citizens of his neighborhood.
This petition he presented to David
Alleman, Trustee of Green township
who promised to carry it to Mr.
Houghton, Trustee Of Union town
