A New Mandatory.

The parties who are talking of eStab-
fishing factory for the manufacture of
fine organ cases, etc. in the city are still
figuring upon a suitable location.
The organizers have again investigat-
ed the Behren's property and if suita-
able and reasonable figure is demanded
it is more than probable the factory
will be located there. The INDEPEND-
ENT is always glad to chronicle any ad-
vancement that will help the manufac-
turing or commercial interests of this
city. and it feels that some effort should
be made to advance this branch OF in
dustry. Such factory as that which it
is now proposed to establish here, would
be benefit to this town and county.
And the business men and all who have
one spark of philanthropic feeling in
their natures, or any desire to see the
city grow and prosper and ultimately
take its place among the thriving.
stable, and prosperous business towns
of the West should put their shoulder
to the wheel and help III every way,
within their power to start and main
tain such manufacturing industry as
this. Factories bring skilled mechanics
into our midst. Skilled mechanics earn
good wages and in living leave a good
ly proportion of their earnings in the
town, the city or the county in which
they make their earnings.
Then again there are children grow
ing up here who in order to fight the
battle of life in the future must learn
some trade or profession: learn to do
something. With factories in our midst
where skilled mechanics are employed,
good opportunity is offered whereby
some of the rising generation may be
instructed in various useful mechanical
arts, and in so learning be guaranteed
the ground work upon which they may
in years to come, rely for their living
and their prosperity This is the basis
upon which the INDEPENDENT says to
its readers foster and support the mer-
camille and manufacturing interests of
the city OF Plymouth, offer inducements
for such industries to locate here and
stay here, and to these factories, which
are here extend the same support and
encouragement as you would to any in
terest or company desiring to locate
here. Citizens should never loose sight
of the fact, that in the building up and
maintenance of factories where skilled
mechanics, earn the prOpOrtiOnate pay
which the various labor unions today
demand, is the ultimate success and
future of the city in which they live.

Back Numbers.

In every community there are men or
merchants who, with a store full Of fly
Spected moth eaten, mouldy goods, will
unblushingly tell you that There is no
need for them to advertise, They are
too well known.
Such a merchant is good deal like a
boil on a healthy persons neck, an
abomination, trial, but at the same
time a blessing in disguise Doctors
tell us that boil is good thing; in as
much as it disperses the bad humor of
the system and the blood.
\ live business man will tell you the
same thing about an antiquated mer
chan who dose not believe in advertiS
ing, like boil, such a man is good for
community, affOrding chance for the
live young business man to make his
presence known and the outOf date stock
and delapitated collection of wares
which the unadvertised store is sure to
contain, makes the new and comprehen-
sive assortment of his hustling neigh
Dor, more pleasing and salable by COM
pariSon. The one will conduct his
business upon the broad basis of small
er profits but more certain and quicker
returns. The other will be content to
sit by rusty stove and bewail to his
croney friends the fact that his busi-
ness is not what it used to be, never adj
mitting for one moment The fact that
he has not kept pace with the times, but
has settled into a rut of old fogyism
and out Of date business methods suf-
ficient of themselves to proclaim him a
back number in every sense of the
word.
What the commercial world needs to
day is live young. energetic business
men. Men advanced in the study Of
business methods, progressive wide
awake and bright. Such men will rap
idly crowd out the fossiliZed old timer
whose business is ''toO well known to
need advertisIng.'
JudiciOuS and readable advertising
pays, and the man with goods to sell or
property to dispose of, the man in 9th
er words, who has something the public
needs; and does not reach the people,
through the means of known and repu-
table advertising mediums is an anti
quated eXcreSence on the face of the
commercial world which the keen blade
of american business energy is fast re-
moving. The day is not far distant
when the old fashioned back-number
business man will have to step down
and out to make room for the young,
hustling, energetic representative of
modern commercial methods whose
motto is advertise"

Mikado.

Preparations for the production of
Gilbert x Sullivan's celebrated opera.
The Mikad0" are progressing finely.
The special scenery which is being

Farm Life.

There is no life so enviable or enjoy
able as the life of farmer. He has
nothing to do but enjoy himself from
January to December, from sunrise to
sunset, grow rich and fat and kick like
a fat steer.
When the billiards of winter send in
their cards, the farmer can draw his
chair up to the stove, put his feet
in the oven, and spend the day reading
his weekly country paper and church
orgEn, and other like religious reading.
HIS occupation is only disturbed when
he adjourns to the table and feasts on
mince pie, saur kraut and apple dump
lings. There is much of error in this
general opinion of the ease of the farm
er takes to himself.
One who has had any experience in
farming will tell how the farmer crawlS
out of bed four hours before daylight,
sOftens his boots with a hammer and
commences the days work with liant
ern in one hand and a bucket of frozen
slOp in the other. He has from one to
thousand hogs which shovel their
snOuts in his face and tip the bucket
over on him, where it freezes, until he
looks like skating rink.
When he has escaped from the hog
pen, he hunts up six or seven buckets
and crawls through wire fence to milk
twenty-seven cows. These patient ami
mails wait until he has the bucket near
ly filed, when they kick it over, aiming
SO the contents will spare such parts of
his clothing as the hogs spared. Now
and then they vary the monotony by
kicking him which makes him feel tired
and homesick.
When the COWS have been MIXED he
goes to feed the horses and finds the
sorrel mare doubled up in the manger
with the collie. He then has to mix up
a lot of aconite and water which he at
tempts to pour down the animals neck,
when she hits him Oh the teeth with her
front foot and makes him wish he had
never been born. He works around all
morning with the old mare, and then
proceeds to curry the dun mules which
try to see who can kick the hardest and
by the time he is through he feels as
though he had passed through corn
shelter.
When he has fed the hens and water
ed the cattle, and hunted three hours
for twenty cent pig, and chopped half
a cord of wood. and carried forty buck
cts of water for the horses, and shelled
three bushels of corn by hand, and has

THANKSGIVING Ball.

AS previously announced, the ball un-
der the auspices of the Alpha Pleasure
club was held Wednesday evening at
the opera house.
This the first ball of the season was a
successful society event. Those who
participated in the evenings enjoyment
began to arrive early, and from the first
strain of the Grand March, to the dying
away of the sweet chords of Home,
Sweet Home, the evening was full of
pleasure.
Hansen's orchestra furnished the mu-
sic for the occasion, and their ability be-
ing known, comments are unnecessary.
The Alpha Pleasure club have won
well merited praise for the manner in
which they attend to the wishes of their
guests, and there is no doubt that the
future efforts of this club will receive
the same commendatOry response as
they received Thanksgiving eve.

SOCTII END.
A Clean Sweep.

The entertainment given at the opera
house last Saturday evening was a good
one, and appreciated by fair sized au-
dence. There is no doubt that Andy
Armann, as a German comedian,
ranks y |. The prominent feature of
his work is the lack of that cOarseneSs
that, as a rule, is SO often seen in "a
farce comedy. With him it was breezy,
full of originality and mirth provoking.
His support was good, and when tax
en- into consideration that the different
characters represented were exceedingly
young people, there is no mistake made
when we pronounce a Clean Sweep
a good, well staged farce comedy.

False Alarm.

Saturday evening about Z o'clock, an
alarm of fire called the department to
CAIRO street east of the bridge, where
it was supposed fire was in progress.
AS usual the members of the fire de-
partment turned out promptly, and had
there been any fire to extinguish, would
have gone to work manfully and brave
ly. AS it was, they found no use for
their services. Some children were
burning heap of leaves and brush

rounding buildings evidently alarmed

Orchestral Music.

1t has always been a matter of some
difficulty for the smaller cities to obtain
good music for dances, Balls and par

Foot Ball.

An exciting game of foot ball took
place Thanksgiving day at the fair
ground, and hotly contested game was
put up. The teams represented the
north and south side of Plymouth, and
although the score stood at the finish
/ to = in favor of the north end, it was
considered a very good game. The
south end boys seemed to be dissatisfied
with some of the rulings of the umpires
but it is expected that this matter will
be satisfactorily arranged for the next
game.
Another game Will be played next
Saturday the weather permitting, and
the boys extend an invitation to all to
attend and witness the sport.
One accident occurred during the
game, but was not a very serious one.
Jim Watkins, of the south side team in
a fall was caught around the neck by
an opponent, receiving a twist that
proved very painful.
The following are those that took
part in the game:

Punch at the Feast.
EDIToR RTLLETIN.-

EDITOR Bulletin
The punch served at the Feast OF
all Nations is creating quite a stir
among the too "goody goodies" of
this little but highly "moral com.
munity." The lady managers, how
ever, have decided, after mature con-
sideration, to accept the money from
the Hawaiian booth and to use that
blood-money for the sustenance OF
the Kapiolani Maternity Home. As
one Of them sarcastically puts it:
This is an Hawaiian institution
(meaning Maternity Home), and il
some Hawaiians wish to disgrace
themselves in the way that occurred
at the Feast, then Hawaiians can
use the money obtained in such
way" What a most Christian re.
mark to make! How extremely
charitable! Why, Bacchus himself
will blush at these sardonic express
sions.
While regretting that punch was
used at the Hawaiian booth, not
with the cognizance or appreciation
Of the most estimable lady at its
head, however, but done by irres-
ponsible characters, yet it is an un-
christian act to make too much fuss
about il in the papers. "'Tis true,
tbs pity; and pity It's, 'tis true"

which is by far more deadly poison
Gus than punch yet that firm is

Central Union Church. Therefore,
