MARSHALL COUNTY NEWSPAPERS.
In this brief sketch we will only say
that the Plymouth Pilot was the first
newspaper ever printed and published
in this county. 1t was published by
John @. Howell who brought the press
and other material from Rochester t.
this place. The first paper is supposed
to have been printed in June, 1871.
The present Plymouth Republican is
the off spring of the Plymouth Pilot, and
the Mail. and its second the Banner,
and thirdly the Plymouth Marshall
County Republican. and its last and
present name is the Plymouth Republi-
can, and in the modern deception of the
term its political procivties are what
its name indicates.
The Marshall County Democrat was
first published on the 18th day of No
yember 1870, by Thomas Mcdonald
and Hugh i. Dickson. The paper has
nearly always had some of the McDon-
aid family connected with it as proprie-
tors or editors. and it has ever been re
garded as reliably democratic. Hon.
Daniel Mcdonald has been continuous
ly connected with the Democrat as
proprietor and editor since 49,. Il was
first called the Marshall County Demo
crat. next the Plymouth Weekly Demo
crat and at preseEtit is the Plymouth
Democrat.
The Restitution. is a religious publ
cation. edited by \. Il. Underwood. and
issued in The interest OF the Advent
Church.
In adjoining towns ia the county they
have their newspaper representatives
among whom we may name. the Bre-
men Enquirer. Brook Bowman, editor
and proprietor; Bourbon Mirror. owned
by l. Mattingly: Argos Reflector J. H.
Watson; Mamont Herald George
Nearpass.
Il 4 "a II
E.NT is the latest addition to the news
paper field in Plymouth. There is no
prestage to day before the people in
connection with this publication. But
it has an opportunity before it that it
does not hesitate to grasp. Its future
success will be announced by the peo-
pie of Marshall county.
BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION.
In speaking of the different manu-
featuring industries and though in
speaking of them, have been unable, ow-
ing to the lack of time and space To
dwell upon them as they deserve, it
would be an injustice to our city to
neglect speaking of Plymouth's Bust
ness Mems Association. 1t has been
through the efforts of this body of men,
that a number of enterprises have turn
ed their eyes toward our beautiful city.
The president of the association is {. L.
Mattingly, and the secretary, is o. +.
Ketcham. Any questions in regard To
location of manufacturing enterprises,
or any other kind of business that de
serves home, will be cheerfully an
swered by the Business Mems AssOcia-
