The annual examinations in the
Plymouth public schools take place
this and next week.
F. D. Webb, Argos, becomes a
subscriber to-day. Mr.. w. is in the
grocery business at Argos and as he
pays for his paper in advance you
may take our word for it he's the
right kind of man to deal with.
Edward Morris, Assessor of Union
township, mail carrier between this
place and Maxenkuckee, and one OF
the best fellows generally to DO found
anywhere, made US pleasant call
Friday, and renewed for the REPUB-
LICAN.
M. NJ. Pomeroy is said to have pre-
sented unanswerabe arguments on the
financial question. at Plymouth on last
Saturday. to large number of people,
Waikert0R Visitor.
M. NJ. Pomeroy didn't do anything
of the kind. He didn't make single
assertion that cannot be answered.
As a political speech his discourse
was a failure-it was a mere lecture
on money" by one Of the lowest
down, most INSCRIPTIONS bankrupts
In America.
As the westward bound train
reached the corporation limits east
OF this city Tuesday afternoon. a little
girl, about nine years old. in her
sleep stepped out, upon the car plat
form and walked off. The train was
running at the rate OF twenty miles
an hour. She rolled down the en-
bankment, jumped up, climbed over
the fence into a field. The train was
stopped and the little one taken on
board but little the worse for her
strange freak. Upon being question
ed she said she dreamed her grand
mother told her to go after the cows"
and being Of an obedient disposition,
it seems she went!
The Republican Convention last
Saturday. owing to the severe rain
storm that prevailed at the time it
was called to meet, was not very
largely attended, yet number Of
earnest workers from most parts of
the county were present, aud the
best Of feeling prevailed. VIM. J.
Hand, who presided over the first Re-
publican Convention ever held in
Marshall county, was called to the
chair, and made neat speech after
stating the object OF the meeting.
Excellent speeches were made by
Messrs. Kelly and Easton, and it was
apparent that the Republicans OF
Marshall county are ready to do their
whole duty in the coming campaign.
The proceedings will be found in an
other column.
Last Monday afternoon, Ernest
Hill, son Of E. G.. Hill, OF this city, at
tempted to Jump upon the caboose Of
passing freight train. The train
was moving quite rapidly at the
time, and Hill was thrown violently.
head first, to the ground. His head
struck the sharp end Of a tie, knock
ing out his teeth, breaking his nose,
and otherwise seriously cutting his
face. Hill is about nineteen years
old. Should he live he will go
through life with disfigured features,
all the result OF INDUCING in foolish
and dangerous sport. To the REPuB-
LIcAN it seems that it is time an end
was put to this jumping on moving
trains. Every day we see boys in
dulging in the dangerous practice,
and we would not at all be surprised
to hear OF their death at any time.
1t is the duty Of the city officials to
take this matter in hand. A few ar
rests and heavy fines would knock
all the fun out of the business, and
the boys will be taught to behave
themselves.
The Plymouth correspondent OF
the Starke County Enterprise made a
sensible statement last week when
he said that the hard times are caus-
ed by an over production OF fools.
The young man however made mis-
take in attributing to US the state
ment that overproduction is the
cause of hard times. We had not be-
fore thought OF that being the cause.
He must not think because Brick
Pomeroy says that everybody who is
opposed to his wild financial policy,
believes that overproduction is the
cause Of hard times, that it is really
true. Brick, according to his own
confession associated with bad men
so long, that it should not be expec-
ted that hs will confne himself
to the truth. If the mild manered
reporter" will cut that sentence out
of the Enterprise and send it to Mr..
Pomeroy it may bring him to his
senses. Who can tell what few
words fifty spoken may do even for the
most hardened sinner? 1t may be
possible, however, that Pomeroy felt
that this was the cause when he re-
ceived that $50 from the Greenback
committee. If so, he is beyond hope.
The National Greenback party
held State convention at Indianapo-
lis yesterday, but we go to press to
early to give the proceedings. BY the
