places, prohibiting the erection OF
any other than brick or stone build
ing within such limits.
Yesterday the REPUBLICAN was
brought to US by the letter-carrier as
usual, and we Of course ran through
its columns eagerly for the weekly
installment OF local news We coold
not help thinking what trea< It was
to have the paper from home. With
out it by this time we should have
been almost totally ignorant of what
has occurred since leaving Plymouth
With it we have kept posted on al
most everything. Through it we
learned that the city council made an
appropriation of 81 100000 and built
new engine house and council ROOM

(We also chanced to meet him i'm
Chicago one morning). We learn
that the new sidewalk in front OF the

We learn that Mr.. Millikan is again
with the REPUBLICAN. We learn that
Horace Corbin and A. c. Capron are
contestants for the nomination as
Democratic candidates for Circuit
Judge, and that living Goals have
been raized over the other by each,-
our sympathies being unhesitatingly
enlisted with the latter. We learn
that Howard Brooke has again re-
moved 10 Peru, and have heard IL
ruraored by the great Chicago dailies

lowed his interesting one-tune mid
night whistle to disturb the sleepy in
habit ants thereabouts. We learn
that H. G. Thayer has purchased and
is operating Hawley's boot and shoe

Indiana, and that Poe roareth and
Chapman mourneth for his first born.
That Buck & Toan, Becker & Wolf
and David Burkey have full column
advertisements in your paper, which
the same am free TO maintain is cor
rect. That you had a circus on Fri
day. That the sour editor of the
Democrat will probably try TO run for
the Office of County Recorder in 1873.
That Mac Cawber," your Argos cor

letter. That Marshall county orders
are worth 100 cents on the dollar,
while LaPOrte county orders will
scarcely command 95 cents. That
the city of Plymouth has paid all its
bills, besides paying $500 interest on
her school house bonds. and redeem
ing the first bond of $1,000, and has
$4,658S0 solid cash In her treasury.
That the same is better showing
than that OF any other city in North
ern Indiana OF three times its size.
That this is only a very small portion
of what we have learned by being a
subscriber OF the REPUBLICAN.

pers. We regularly take the Plym-

Columbia City Commercial, the Wat
erloo Press, the Chicago Daily Times,
Tribune, Euening Journal, Ne,cs, and

ourself, is an advocate OF Uncle Sans
greenbacks, one money for all people,
receivable for all dues to the United
States, including duties on imports,
and to be used in paying all claims

lender didn't want to take the prom
ises OF 43,000,000 OF people, -he could
go to - and take his claim with
him" Greenbacks are good enough
for poor people. 1t is the rich who
complain of them. There are nine
poor men to every rich one. there
fore greenback money is the greatest
good to the. greatest number. We
mean ohe same greenback we have
now, with this amendment: Let I'm.
