Plymouth Telephone Exchange.

AS home product, the citizens of
Plymouth may well pride themselves
upon their fine telephone system. Every
new and modern idea has been utilized
in organizing and perfecting this system
under the direction of Mr.. Nanvactor.
Every part possible has been con
structed here in Plymouth. The cases
and all the woodwork is the product of
the Novelty Works, and from end to
end of its line this system will bear
critical comparison with any in the
country.
Besides many improvements, which
Mr.. Nanvactor has made, he has utilized
the ideas of the instruments which have
been in use i'll the English postal ser

attack of this disease, it is only justice
to say that So far as precautionary
means are concerned the authorities of
the town of Walkerton have been very
neglectful. While they claimed to have
quarantined that town, scarcely a day
passes that some one from Walkerton
is not sem on the streets of Plymouth
This on the face Of it shows neglect
and disregard for public safety which
cannot fail to bring discredit upon those
in authority, who should by stringent
quarantine measures endeavOr to check
the spread of small pox every way in
their power.
While we do not and will not publish
anything calculated in the least degree
to unduly alarm the citizens of Ply
mouth, we believe it is only right to
point out the glaring and unwarranted
neglect of public safety of which the
authorities of Walkerton have been
guilty, and at the same time impress
upon the people of Marshall county the
Importance of directing their best eff
frots to aid the health officers of this
vicinity to successfully protect our com
munity from an attack of this lOath-
some disease.

The Beautiful Snow.

Ever since, we might say the time of
civilization, the man of rhymes has at
least once year, produced some sort OF
poetry for suffering public To peruse.
relating to the above quotation.
Now we do not propose to do such a
barbaric act, although the political
land slide that took place last Tuesday
and the falling of the beautiful the fol
lowing morning, gave vast field for
the poetic soul To soar in. Now of
course the republicans will take advan-
tage OF this opportunity to spread it on
thick. And although this will be the
case, our democratic friends should not
feel sore; for if the verdict of the people
had been favorable for their side, they
would have done justice to the subject
to queens taste.

OFFICIAL RETURNS.
THE RESULT OF LAST tuesday,
ELECTION IN MARSHALL
COUNTY SET FORTH.

1t showed freely part of the time
Tuesday. and every flake of snow ap-
parently had a ballot for the republi-
cans wrapped up in its fleecy whiteness.
the republicans relieved them of all
the offices they claimed and turned them
loose.
The INDEPENDENT, always in the
van, tells in another part of this issue
how it was done in every township and
precinct in the county.
All the democrats were blessed with
was the election of a majority of the
township trustees, electing their man
in German, North, Polk, West, Union
and Green townships. In the latter on
ly by one vote. They also got handful
OF minor township offices, but the entire
state, judicial, congressional and county
ticket was defeated by majorities run
ming from 53 to 307.
The hold over democratic office hold
erS on the court house, are: The county
recorder, assessor and superintendent,
who will remain two years longer. The
party has a cinch on the county super
intendency, however, as the present
trustees will elect a democrat next
June, and after that, the majority being
on the democratic side, they will be
able to elect democrat to fill the office
for four years more.

that will permit the people of Marshall
county and Plymouth. to assume their
normal condition. and that w as fel-
low citizens viii lay aside our political
differences and buckle on the armor of
progressiyeness once more, working in
harmony for our kindred cause the ad-
vancement OF Plymouth.
This can only be done in unity. One
fundamental principle this free GOV
enment produces. that we as American
citizens are proud OF, is the fact, that
whatever our differences may be in the
way our financial and tariff policies
should be conducted. nor how bitter
and severe the battle at the ballot box
when the smoke of the conflict has
cleared away, the voice of the people,
spoken, we settle down to our dailyper
suits with "malice toward none, and
charity for all.

The Small Pox Scare.

Some apprehension has been felt by
the people of Plymouth over the reports
of additional cases of small pox in
Walkerton and vicinity, and some fear
was entertained that some persons in
this city had been exposed to contagion.
The INDEPENDENT has made a thor
ough investigation of this rumor and
finds that at present there is no ground
for alarm.
The following letter explains the case
and coming from the authority of the
State Board of Health, is worthy of
consideration:
INDIANAPoLIs, IND, Nov. q, 1894

Dear Sir: Yours of the Ith inst is at
hand. In the case you cite of the young
man who visited the young lady,
would say | hardly think it probable
that any of those present will take the
disease, still you pursued the right
course in forbidding them to mingle
with others until after the period of in
cubation has passed

assures me that the utmost care is tax

spread. 1t is altogether probable that
the reports from there are exaggerated,
as they usually are in such cases. | will
again communicate with DR. Dewant,
and if find it necessary, will go there
again. | send disease circulars as you
requested. Respectfully,

Eighty three Years Old and Gives a

The g = of the German
Evangelical Cn en- was somewhat sur
prised week ago last Sunday when
Rev. Bofinger announced at the conclu-
sion of his sermon that Grandpa Pohl
would have the next social. The Lu-
theran Ladies of this city have achieved
quite reputation for their pleasant af-
ternOOn and evening SociableS, SO much
SO, that people often come from neigh
boring towns to attend them. And
from financial standpoint they have
been very successful, for from the pro-
ceeds they have nearly paid off the cost
of their parsonage, have annually made
up nearly all of the deficit in the minis
ters salary, besides bearing many other
expenses.
But that is deviating from our sub
ject. Grandma Pohl is a jolly little old
German lady, nearly 81 years of age,
and has seen much trouble and many
cares. Her love for her church how
ever, has been constant and nothing
could show it more than that she decid-
ed to take the social this fall. She was
blessed with pleasant afternoon and
evening, served u pleasant luncheon and
netted Sll.20 for the benefit of the
church

And There Was a Great Calm.

Our readers Will recognize by the
above caption that upon occasions of a
great storm, calm of great magnitude
is liable TO occur. History tells us that
upon many occasions the calms follow
ing these storms are SO marked upon
our great bodies of water that vessels
with only sailing capacity, lies dormant
for many hours and sometimes days.
In the great political struggle that
has swept this county, the storm has
been extremely violent. The calm that
follows, we hope, will be of that nature

Card of Thanks.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mede Logan and Mrs.

mother Mrs. Sarah Abshire.

patents on all devices and attachments
used here have lapsed, consequently no
one need fear in using and contracting
for use of an instrument supplied y
this company.
The officers are also under heavy
bonds to indemnify any one using these
phones from any suit or annoyance
The following is list of those using
telephones:

1t was thought that a switch board
of fifty connections would be ample to
supply the city, but already the Ply
mouth Telephone Exchange is having
another switch board made to accom-
modate the demand for phones and in a
few days they will be in position to fill
additional orders.
1t is to such institutions as this one
which utilize home talent and home
productions that one may look for the
future advancement of a city, and of
such a well directed and thoroughly
equipped telephone exchange as that
which is now established in our midst,
the citizens of Plymouth may all con
graduate themselves.
