Editor OF The Republican:
DEAR Without wishing to in
fringe upon the rights OF your cor
respondent, or gobble up any Of his
items, We thought while his time was
so constantly occupied in climbing
the hill OF science" that perhaps we
too, might enter the ranks and per-
chance become shining star in the
literary horizon. In fact there are so
many things that occur in our lively
little village of startling, as well as
interesting nature, that are entirely
lost TO the rest OF the world, that it
seems the duty of some likely enter
prising young man who has arrived
at the top Of the hill and has nothing
TO do but exercise his various ac-
complishments, TO take the matter in
hand and inform the outside word
what is transpiring here.
Mrs. j. @. Gordon is absent on a
visit to her parents, Rev. and Mrs.
Saunders, of North Liberty.
The Misses Mcconnell, who were
visiting at Mrs. l.. ID. Alleman's. de-
parted on Monday for their home in
Shelbyville.
One OF the pleasantest features
OF Argos Is the M. E. Sabbath school.
Under the supervision of Mr.. J. 4,
Quivey 1t is decided success.
The Rev. DR.. Fowler, q Wabash,
has done some noble temperance
work in our place, and we hope he
will not weary in well doing.
DED-On Jan. 9th, wife Of Jas.
Mcclure. Funeral services were
held in the M. Z. church, Rev. Clifton
officiating.
The boys and girls all unite In
pronouncing the entertainment given
by Mr.. and Mrs. John Colvin o very
enjoyable affair, and we are sure that
We perfectly agree with them.
The 1. p. & G. r. r. Go. are reap.
ing a rich harvest in transporting
witnesses to and from Argos to Plym-
outh in the interest OF the Foltz hog
case. Expensive pork we are think
ing.
-DIED-On New Years day, an in
FAINT son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ara Starkey
They were enabled to keep their
little household treasurer but one
year. They received the sweet little
gift on New Year OF 1877, and it 70.
turned to the giver on the entrance
OF 1878. The sorrowing parents have
our heartfelt sympathy.
The public schools of our village
are In a very prosperous condition
Prof. A. M. Ward during vacation
visited the Peru and Plymouth grad
ed schools and has returned well sat-
isfled with our own. He thinks how
ever that the Plymouth schools are
far in advance OF the Peru schools in
point OF excellence.
According to Prof. Tees calcula.
tions Tuesday was to have been the
coolest day that there has been FOL
the past one thousand years, or fol
the same length of time in the future
Wonder who he intends to prove II
by? Thus far we have known colder
weather in the thousand years that
are past. and IL 1t does get colder
than at present we shall certainly not
consider his predictions in the future
worthy OF (no-Tice) notice.
The Murphy society in our place
has begun the new year with new
quarter. The officers elected for the
ensuing term are President, J. M
Wickizer; 1st Vice president, William
Fox; End Vice president, Mrs, l.. ID
Alleman; Secretary, Ezra Barr
Assistant, l.. ]. Hughes; Treasurer
j. Il. Quivey, 1t would have been
difficult to have made a better selec-
ton, and we are confident that Mr.. w
together with his able assistants will
conduct the movement In such q
manner that the society will be O
tower OF strength In the community
and that vast amount OF good may
be accomplished. About eight hun.
dred have joined it in this section
and very few indeed have fell.
