The Valparaiso Star, of Saturday says
in speaking ofthe contemplated electric
line: "The road is to start from
Elkhart and runs as far as Plymouth,
a small town south of South Bend"
We like that. May be they think Plym-
outh is a small town, but if they will
look on the map they will discover it
occupies as prominent position as
Valpo. Although we may not wear as
big shat" as the city of Valpo, our
clothes fits us, and we are making a
good impression abroad.
Reports have it that paper will soon
be established at Hanna, lively burg
a short distance west of us. We learn
that young man, who for some time
has been in the employ of Brother
Endley, of the Walkerton Independent,
is the party contemplating this enter
prise. We would also say, that this en-
ergetic young fellow, so dame rumor
has il, cOntemplateS taking to himself
better half, and thus be more capable
of attending to the duties of a print
shop. The INDEPENDENT wishes the
new enterprise unbounded success.
Chief of Police Myers thought he had
three burglars and safe-blowers Satur-
day morning, but they turned out not to
be the men he wanted. On Friday
night three men entered the store or
Geo Eckert, at Linkville, and blew the
safe to pieces. They were evidently
noyices at the work for they made SO
much noise that they woke up the in
habitants of the village. The robbers
were traced to LaPaz and it is thought
came to Plymouth. Chief Myers ar
rested three hOboes as they came from
Lake Erie train, but kilograms from
Linkville convinced him they were not
the men and so they were let go.
John Clymer who lives south of town
had quite lively runaway last Tues
day afternoon. The horses became
frightened at something along side of
the road and before John knew what
was coming, he was speeding along
Michigan street at 2:40 gait. When
the fun commenced he was in possession
of hat and a well filled basket of eggs,
which left him considerable distance
from where he succeeded in stopping
the horses. The clatter of the horses
hoofs and the wagon brought out all the
inhabitants along the line of charge, but
cloud of dust Obscured from their
view the result of the race. He sue
ceeded in bringing the team to halt at
the bridge.
A Plymouth man being troubled
with headache bought two medical tab
lets and put them in his coat pocket.
When il was time to take his tablet he
opened his mouth, shut his eyes and
gulped one down. He was relieved OF
headache and went on his way rejoicing.
Later in the day he found the two tab
let's in his pocket When he discovered
$3.50 gold piece missing the pain in
his head shifted to his stomach-Nal-
paraiso Star.
The Editor of the star seems TO be
"foxy." While we are pleased to &C
knowledge our people have few $3.50
gold pieces, and great many ''silver
dollars" yet our heads never ache, and
our money is always invested In real
estate. We do not let our money lay
around loose, but keep it in circulation,
thus our prosperity.
