There lived a sage In days Of yore.
And he handsome pigtail wore,
But wondered much and sorrow'd more
Because IL hung behind him.
He mused upon this curious case,
And swore he'd change the pigtail's place.
And have II hanging at his face,
Not dangling there behind him.
Says he; ''The mystery I've found.
I'll turn me round" Ho turned him round.
But stili 1t hung behind him.
And right and left and roundabout,
And up and down and In and out
He turned, but still the pigtail stout
Hung steadily behind him.
And though his efforts never slack,
And though he twist and twirl and tack,
Alas, still faithful 10 his back,

Supersticlous Ideas.

The old SuperSticiouS rot, about plant
ing potatoes in the light or dark Of the
moon, or if killing hogs at a certain
given time of the month, the meat
will all shrink up and turn to greese.
and thousand other fancies that in by
gone days were revered by the older in
habitants, does to large extent per
meate the minds of scores of people in
this enlightened day of education.
Our mind was directed along this line
of thought last week, the day after the
fire at Hansen's music store, 1t was the
remark made by a lady, and to the effect
that "three fires would come in rapid
succession" When We lightly spoke Of
the inconsistency of such an event, she
seemed greatly shocked, stating that it
was "sure sign
Sure enough, it has come true. Thurs
day, little spark on West CAIRO street,
and Saturday evening at Mr.. Mead's res
idence on the south side, settles the mat
ter, and hereafter the faith formed upon
these coincidents will be more firmly
fixed.
In short time too, you will hear the
old sages commence their yearly predic-
tions about the ground hog and its shad-
dow, and how with shiver they will
predict six weeks more winter because
the sun happens to shine upon the day
his hogship is supposed to make his APP
pearance, while at the same time, this
insignificant little animal that controls
the spring season, is curled up in his
hole with his nose between his paws
with no thought of making his appear
ance in the blustery February weather.

advertising" Z"

When a stranger with capital to in
vest desires location for some enter
prise, and community is brought to his
notice, the first thing that invariably at
tracks his attention is the columns of
the newspapers of the place extending
their offers. If these are filled with ad-
vertisements he will look with favor
upon that town. If not he will view
with suspicion the location offered.
These are undeniable facts. \ business
man who is a hustler, and a money
maker, knows that a community that is
afflicted with business men who rely
upon their acquaintance with the peo-
pie for then trade, and who do not pat
ronize the home journals by keeping
their name before the public, knows
from experience that that class of men
are no benefit, to a large extent, to the
city in which they live.
But when capitalist receives encour-
agement from city, where the mer-
chants are all wide-awake, where they
are all interested in any movement that
pertains to the help of the entire popula-
ton, there is the place where he will en-
bark his enterprise.
There is one fatal mistake made by
merchants generally, not only in one
community, but all, and that is the
proper and effective way to advertise.
While they may not realize in cold dol
lars and cents direct return for their
money invested with the printer, they
do derive a benefit from every article
that appears in the home paper calling
the attention of the world to their home
as place for capitalists to invest their
money. And if through the efforts of
the newspapers and few patriotic citi-
zens, these advanced guards of financial
prosperity locate in that community,
the merchant who does not advertise,
robs his more progressive neighbors of
the benefits derived without his assist
ance. For the inactive business man
gains the same benefits to certain ex-
tent as his neighbor who has paid his

The Association Meet.

As announced last week. the Business
Mems Association met at the City Hall,
last Thursday night for the purpose of
electing officers for the ensuing year.
But, be it said, owing to the apathy of
the members, a quorum was not present.
1t may not be amiss to state that the
members of this association are neg
lecting their duty. 1t does seem as
though the body Of this association,
could at least one night in the year,
show by their presence that they ap-
preciate the work done by their officers.
At this meeting there were several
important subjects to be discussed,
among them, the deS0lving of this as
sOciation and becoming associated with
the State Board of Commerce. The
ground for Encouragement was very
pronounced, and it is to be hoped that
the call for a special meeting which
will be found in another column will be
needed and the deserving encourage
ment given the directors of our Busi-
ness Mems Association.

That Canning Factory.

At the meeting of the Business Mems
Association, Tuesday night, last, the
report on the progress made by the
committee chosen to attend to the so
licltatiOn for shares to be taken in
canning factory, was anything but fiat
tering. The committee was composed
of Messrs. J. Swindell and c. T. Mat
tingly, and in their report had only
fOrty-nine shares subscribed for.
Mr.. Swindell. i'll few brief remarks,
portrayed the reception received at
the hands of those they approached in
regard to the location of a factory here,
and in our estimation the committee
has abundant excuse for feeling keen
disappointment IN the outcome of their
efforts. For it is known fact that for
the past few years they have endeav
ored to secure canning factory under
the favorable circumstances and under
the control of the party they have been
negotiating with. Mr.. Swindell also
stated how the committee had neglected
their own business in promoting the
interest of the city of Plymouth, and
while they felt that the labor thus eX-
pended was in good cause, the appre-
citation shown by the business men of
Plymouth for these efforts made, was of
such character as to discourage them
in making any further efforts.
There is one feature of this effort for
the location of canning factory that
has brought it into i'll repute, and that
is the reports that have been sent to the
daily papers of Chicago from Indiana
polls, this state. The whole truth of
the matter is, that the opposition spoken
of in these articles have no bearing
whatever upon the location of acanning
factory here, and is handled and Operat-
ed on an entirely different principle
and by men who in no way are connect
ed with the opening contemplated here.
The:principle upon which this factory
shall be established in Plymouth is
such, that success will attend it. We
are informed that at Nappanee factory
run on the same plan is meeting with
abundant success.
1t is to be hoped that those who rep
resent the wealth of our city, will lend
their aid in this matter which has hung
fire so long. Give your representatives
in our Business Mems Association en-
couragement in their efforts to help our
town secure these enterprises that will
no doubt prove substantial benefit
to our future greatness.

Business Men. Attention!

Owing to the inability to secure
quorum at the annual meeting Of the
business mems association last Tuesday
evening, 1t was the desire of those pres
ent that one more effort be made to have
those interested in advancement of the
city of Plymouth to meet with the di-
rectOrs of this association for the pur-
pose Of tranSacting the regular annual
business. Next Tuesday evening, the
22d is the date that has been announced
for this meeting, at eight O'Clock sharp.
1t behOOves every business man,
whether he is a member of the ass0c:a
tiOn or not to be present at tins gather
ing. Come out and show by your pres
ence that you are interested in the work
undertaken. If you are not a member
of this association, put yourself in touch
and harmony with the endeavors of the
business mems association to advance
the prosperity of Plymouth.
Now do not fail to remember the date,
Tuesday evening Jan, 22, 1895, at eight
o'clock sharp. Show by your presence
that you are satisfied with the work
done, and on foot through the efforts Of
the officers of this association.

To Young People.

a new year has passed its dawning
and most of the young men and women
in the land have started in on the year
with new resolutions and purposes.
The young men and women of this
country are its hopes and its depend
ence for its future greatness and pros
perity. Every one admits that the safety
and perpetuity of our political, finan-
cial, moral and religious institutions de-
pends upon the training and education
of our youth. The dispositions of hu-
man nature with or without training,
are about the same everywhere and
have been in all ages.
Perhaps in the days of Solomon, the
temptations to vice were not so great or
prolific as in this day and age. But
certain it is, if the youth of to-day would
take the proverbs of that great and wise
king who spoke largely from his own
experience, as guide to their lives, and
would study carefully the warnings and
follow the precepts with which the book
is filled, they would learn much wisdom
and be insured against falling into many
of the pitfalls of danger which lie open
on every side of their pathway of life.
Every good man feels an intense in
terest in the young. Every citizen, be
he good or bad, as a rule, respects the
young man or woman who manifests by
his or her modesty, industry and studi
BUSINESS, determination to make them
selves something in the world.
Self-reSDect is one of the nOblest at
tributes of humanity. If man does
not respect himself, he cannot expect to
command the respect of any body else.
Evil society, whether it be that of the
rich, the arlstocrat, the favored by for
tune, or in the purliens of vice, is the
sure road to ruin of morals, of virtue
and of life. One cannot handle pitch
without becoming defiled. Keep out of
bad company. Shun evil associates and
communicating influences. Avoid all
appearances of evil. Keep out of the
way of temptation.
There are hundreds of weeping moth
ers and sorrow ladened fathers In every
part of the land who are suffering to-
day because of the ruin of their boys
and girls through the influence of evil
associations. No young man has ever
yet been ruined by good company, by
industry, by economy, by following the
counsels of good father, or the advice
of faithful mother.
Hundreds and thousands are to-day

A Dishonorable Man.

Never in our newspaper work have
we through the columns of our paper
attacked mans character or denounced
human being under a caption like the
above. Not because in our business
pursuits we have not dealt with that
class of men, but because we do not be
live in that line of action, and a great
many times "silence is golden" And
again, at times, silence is crime.
Mr.. John b. Ashley, who has been in
our employ, has proved himself man
unworthy of confidence by honest
people. We first met Mr.. Ashley at
Chicago one week previous to our To-
eating in Plymouth, and during our
short business relations up to the time
of his departure, we had no direct cause
to suspicion him of being a man who
would premeditatedly defraud a fellow
man out of one farthing.
AS far as our own financial loss is
concerned, we have nothing to say.
If man whom we have had every rea-
son to believe does business on busi-
ness principles, and honestly, succeeds
in defrauding us, we try to take it as a
lesson to be more cautious in the flu
ture.
But when a man can in such a cow
ardly manner desert his family, and in
so doing, prepare for his own comfort
by securing money fraudulently, and
from those who had every reason to be-
lieve him a man of honor, then the
scope of the English language fails to
express the contempt such dastardly
actions deserves.
His family through the kindly inter
est of friends will be looked after, and
the hope of all those who truly sympa-
thize with Mrs. Ashley in her trouble,
is that her pathway through life
may be entirely outside of the contami-
mating influence of such human mon
strocity.
We might also ad, that if at any time
this man has contracted bills in con-
nection with his work for us, which re-
fleets in the least on the integrity
of the proprietor of the INDEPENDENT,
he is ready and willing to adjust the
same.
