Reading Rooms.

Several weeks ago the INDEPENDENT
opening of y. NJ c. A. rooms in this
city. In an interview with a number
of the prominent young men of our
city, we learned that the desire to have
such apartments in Plymouth, met with
universal favor. The subject was taken
up and numerous conversations held in
regard to the matter, and it was unani-
mously decided that the movement was
in the right direction and along the
right lines, and was one of the needed
societies for the social advancements of
our beautiful city.
But this important movement has
been no farther advanced. The exact
reason of this Stagnation in this worthy
enterprise, is the lack of sufficient funds.
1t was considered necessary to place the
membership fee at $500; and while our
young men were anxious to push this
laudable enterprise to a successful
finish, they did not feel able, owing to
the stringent times, to pay out that
much money.
While the young men of our city
have been contemplating the forming
of Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, other societies, composed of Christ
ian women of the different churches of
Plymouth, have been earnestly discuss
ing the locating of reading rooms for
the benefit of the young men, giving
them suitable place to spend their
evenings prolitably. This effort should
be appreciated and a determined effort
put forth in this direction.
Let our business men assist in this
matter. A little cash donation from
each firm in this city would bring grand
results, and no more worthier cause
could be found to place small dona-
ton than in the establishment of good
comfortable reading rooms for the ben
eft of these young men in our city,

A New Firm.

\ partnership has been formed by
Messrs. Chas. KellisOn and L. Lauer
The new firm merged into existence the
later part Of last week, and are fitting
up cosy apartment in the front room
formerly occupied by Mr.. Geo. Klein
schmidt. The present location VIII be
retained until the new Corbin block is
completed, when they will remove to
that building. These gentlemen have
purchased one of the finest law Libraries
to be found in this state and are prepar
ing for a large business which they no
doubt will secure. kellisOn & LaueT
are SO well known TO the people of Mar
shall county, that it would be superflu
Gus for the INDEPENDENT to cOment.
Separately these gentlemen are excel
lent in their different lines of work: but
as firm they have no equal in ~
county. We wish them unbounded sue
cess in their future efforts.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
The Marshall County Sunday School
Association Met in a Two Days
Session.

The members of the Marshall county
Sunday school association met in annual
session at the Presbyterian church in
this city, Monday and Tuesday of this
week. The meeting was successful
one, and great deal of business, as
we'll as good accomplished.
The first days session was called to
order at 1:30, and the opening exercises
conducted by Rev. 1. Rothenberger, fol
lowed by an address by |. r. Ladd, the
president of the association.
At the afternoon session, an interest
ing report was presented by Mrs. NJ. r.
Watson, who is the recording secretary
of this body. 1t shows the total enroll
ment for the different Sunday schools
throughout this county for the year was
6,455. The number of schools in the
county being 66. That during the past
year nine new schools were established,
which makes 70 schools up to the pres
ent time If we understand there had
been the same ratio in the increase of
scholarship, the number would reach
100, which shows that our Sunday
schools are we'll attended, but not so
well as they might be.
At the evening session, under the dl-
rections of c. r. Leonard, song service
was rendered by the Presbyterian
chorus class, which was very fine. Fol
lowing this part of the service an ad-
dress was delivered by John w. Parks,
who is the president of the 23d district.
This address was full of good thoughts
pertaining to the Sunday school work.
An address by c. ID. Meigs, on the
subject: "Why am l in the Sunday
school, and what am DOING" was prac-
tical and full of food for thought.
At the Tuesday morning services
praise and thanksgiving exercises were
held, led by G. o. Wilder, of st. Joseph
county Sunday school association. At
ter these exercises a subject: What is
the matter with the Sunday school, was
| given. HC Poliito
this excellent address, was the fact that
the lack of preparation by the officers
and teachers had great deal to do with
the lack of interest, and not enough
earnestness and energy put forth by
them to make it successful. There is a
great deal of truth in that, and should
be prepared for by the teachers In the
| future.
DR.. j. ii. McKinzie, president of the
Culver military academy, gave an inter
esting talk upon the subject of SUNDAY
school management" 1t was instructive
anG highly entertaining.
at this juncture those present were in
vited to partake of refreshments, pre-
pared by the ladies of our city and vi
cinity, and spread in the basement of
the church, was taken advantage of.
Comments of the highest character
were heard on all sides in regard to this
feast prepared, and will long be remem-
bered iy those who had the pleasure of
participating.
