The Plymouth Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1878-1901, 1879-06-19
Payee Personals,


year is a monthin which we expect
to get but little money on subscrip-
ton, and we had made up our minds |
that receipts would be very ligh: for
the past week, and were contempla-
ting an offer to sell the receipts from |
subscription for week to the boys |
for FIVE dollars. when n. Work, OF
this city, one of our oldest subscri |
bers whose time had not expired |
came in and renewed for another
year, stating that he might not be
able TO get up stairs again before his
subscription expired, but we hope
that he may soon he restored to per-
feet health and live long o enjoy LIES
richest blessings. After Mr.. Work
was gone we were aroused by the
genial voice of Stephen s. Staley
who always leaves a ray OF sunshine
when he comes into the room. Il am
in a hurry" he said, "and as I never
like to read anyboly's paper but my
own, here's the money for another
year, and as Carey's subscription
will expire in July, I'll just renew for
him while 1 am here The Carey
alluded to is a Methodist preacher
now in Alexandria, in this State. and
his wife is the daughter OF Mr.. Staley.
The next day we were thinking
well we had streak OF good luck
yesterday which seldom comes in the
busy season, when good looking
young gentleman stepped In and
said, Il want to subscribe for the
REPUBLICAN, Philip Sickman, Mar
mont, Ind and "you bet" we had
that name on our books la q hurry
Mr.. Slckman seemed In a hurry too,
and was gone in a moment, but
through the next year the REPUBLI-
CAN will give him the news and we
shall get better acquainted, though
we are perfectly salts fed that he is a
splendid fellow. well, boys" we
sail, eve have got a new subscriber,
how ia that for this week." Then the
tramp OF feet was heard on the stairs,
the door opened aud Z. w. Deemer
and VIM. Bryan from down at Argos,
(the town to which we each week
send bundle OF REPUBLICANS that al
most fills a mail sack) walked in.
"Sit down gentlemen said the
cashier. NO." said Deemer. "we
have not time, we want to subscribe
for the REPUBLICAN" and soon the
names OF two OF the best fellows in
the country were on the books and
the money safely rolled mp, and
slowed In the E iitor's pocket. Mr..
Bryan and:s Mr.. Deemer peparted.
having our best wishes, and we shall
do what we can TO make them happy
by giving them g. good paper. The
next imam was Mr.. Martin, OF Bourbon.
He said "IScalied to pay you some
money on the REPUBLICAN" "Y0u are
one OF our subscribers them" we
said, mo, father takes the paper and
I live with him." He said. Frank
Martin Is the name you will find on
the books" We had never seen Mr..
| MAJ tin, but glance at the books
showed that he always paid his sub
scriptioa in advance, and tina. is just
as good evidence as you can find
anywhere that man is honest and a
good fellow generally. The next
man was Charles Morgan, OF Argos I;
he like all the others was in a hurry:
had just come to town, but did not
want to go home until he renewed for
his paper, When he was gone we
just thought, il it were not for host
OF such men as Morgan an editor
could not live with all the vexations
that fall to his lot. Then we went
over TO the postoflics. and there We
found a postal card from our old
friend, n. L. Barr, OF Argos, telling us
that we had another new subscriber
at that place, aud his name, 1t is w.
G. Ricard, and Mr. Ricard shall have
the p iper, and we believe he will be
just as.much pleased with 1t as we
are to enter his name on our list.
Then Hank" that is Mr.. Henry
Born, compositor in 1the REPUBLICAN
Office, brought US the name for an
other new subscriber, aud John
Fender, of Heller's Corner, Allen Co,
Iud., will be made happy just as long
as he reads thes especial
ly IL he lives up to its teachings.
The hours rolled on. and the sun was
sinking in the west when one OF Wal
nut townships best citizens who re-
sides northeast Of Argos, came in
and said, Il want to pay for Sarah
Hess's paper until June. 1880.
Sarah is his daughter. and every boy
OF his that has a family takes the
REPUBLICAN and pays for It. II we
had all such men in this county we
could furnish our subscribers with O
paper as big as the New York
Tribune.
