A Deep Well.

Lemont, ILL.,, has just completed a
well for their water works system. that
is l,9G0 feet in depthSand at cost of
$4,000. They have been nearly year
in sinking this well, but have the salts
faction of knowing, that although 1t
cost thousands of dollars, they will in
the future have an abundance of water.
1t is said that Joliet, of that state.
would give $4,000 for a well like the
one mentioned.
While we are talking about wells. we
might remark that Plymouth has a
flowing well, fourteen inches in di-
ameter, that has constantly flowed for
years and has not been utilized for any
purpose whatever II is a demonstrated
fact, that those who have natural adj
vantages and where the financial out
lay is small, turns a cold shoulder TO
the benefits that nature SO freely gives
while other communities, not blessed
with these favors, or in any way to be
compared with the city thus favored,
spend thousands OF dollars to secure
the same benefits

lmprOV ement.

Those of our citizens who were not
aware of the extensive preparations
made by Postmaster ,Jilson, to remodel
the post Office department, were sur
prised when they came for their mail
Sunday morning, to see the transforma-
tion that had taken place Saturday
night.
The general delivery boxes are all in
the front part of the office, while the
lock boxes are now all together in the
rear part of the room. With the new
lock boxes in position, giving an addi-
ton of about eighty, our Office, will be
fully equipped for while at least.
The general delivery will also be
materially benefited by another call
window. Mr.. Jilson deserves the
thanks of the public for these improve
ments, and while they are of great ben
eft to him and his assistants i'm their
work, yet the public derive cores
pondirg benefit, in the quick service
they will in the future receive.

They Celebrated.

The Glorious Fourth of July, for the
year 1895, has passed into the annals
of the past. and once more the indus
trious people, of our city, have settled
down to their every day vocation. Al
though our citizens did not see fit to
celebrate our national birthday, by a
large demonstration, yet large num-
ber of our citizens, put on their best
clothes, and visited with friends and
relatives in other towns.
Our sister cities Argos and Bourbon,
sent out invitations for everybody to
call upon that day, as they proposed to
put on gala attire, and show to the
people of other towns that they were
fully equal to any emergency in hand
ling crowds, and that their different
villagers were worthy of being proud of.
While Plymouth did not make the
eagle scream, or have great flights of
oratory to dish out to the people in
small chunks of two hours each. they
enjoyed the day in peaceable manner,
and were not compelled to wait on
thousands of customers who, on such
occasions as the Fourth of July. give
the merchants hard day of labor.

Bitterness of Speech.

There are times when the tonrue of
human mortals forgets lis cunning. and
utters words, that should under ordi-
nary circumstances lee left unsaid.
Such can be the judgment rendered
upon numerous utterances that have
been flung broad east upon the streets
and in the stores and public places dur
the past week. III of these heart bum
ings, and condemnatory backbitings
have been caused by our city council,
owing to the position taken upon the
street paving business.
Whether they are in the right or
wrong in this matter, does not make
the sayings given out by a number of
our citizens right, or even truthful.
When a man has been elected to the
position of councilmen in the city of
Plymouth, he takes upon himself a
solemn obligation to perform the duty
that may devolve upon him, in a man
ner that will redown to the benefits of
the tax payers Of our city at large. He
is not supposed, to transact business or
make laws that will favor only the few.
nor let the desires of the masses within
our corpOrated limits 60 unheard.
While he may help to enact a law, which
a great number of the large tax payers
look upon as an unnecessary burden
there are WAYS for them to show their
displeasure, and their desire TO havethe
obnoxious law repealed without calling
their representative anything but gen
tlemen, and rascalS. During the con-
troversy that has arisen over the street
paving question, there has been a great
deal of mud singing participated in.
The members of the council have been
attacked bitterly by some who are Op-
posed to the paving of the two streets
And while we are fully aware that this
work would prove a hardship to a few
yet even as best, it does not necessitate
the intimation that the members of the
council are not acting honestly.
The editors of the INDEPENDENT sin
cerely believes that the paving of La
Porte and Michigan streets Will not be
paved at this time. But this fact is a
certainty. The bitter denunciations
against the council Will have more of =
tendency to spur them on, then to cause
them to retract

Free Schools.

Taxation to provide for free educa-
ton of the masses Is very different
thing from taxation to give anyone
property for his own profit. Education
can not he used by any man for himself
alone. 1t is a fact that as a rule learned
men do not profit as much from their
learning as those engaged in the various
pursuits of life gain from the kn0Wl-
edge Of those who have sought through
science the ways and means of lessen
ing maunal labor. and helping along 10y
the use of the sciences all the great in
dustries and occupations of modern
times. The free school, sustained 10y
taxation, is therefore immense in its
benefits, not so much because all receive
an education, but because those who dc
obtain it receive it for the common
benefit.
1t is the general education obtained
through the free schools that makes all
kinds of labor more profitable. The
free schools enable the workingmea to
lead a happier, more elevated and desir-
able life, to secure better wages, to ap-
preciate more highly the benefits ofour
social privileges. Wherever the people
are best educated labor is always best
protected and held at It's true dignity.
The proportionately small tax the poor
laborer pays toward maintaining the
free school, even if not enjoyed by his
own children is more than repaid to him
in the betterment of his surroundings.
in the increased advantages he has for
tightening his toll, and from the ak
yanced skill in his own trade or oecupa-
ton which comes from the educated
ability and genius of those who have
been increased in learning and knowl-
edge by this free schooling. The pillars
of our government have for their sure
the free schools of the land.
Our system of government by the peo-
pie, which makes all men partial but
equal rulers, demands the education of
all

To the Citizens of Plymouth.

1t was announced last week to the
readers of this paper that had taken a
half interest in the INDEPENDENT. 1t
will not therefore be surprise to any
OF the readers of the INDEPENDENT
that the paper will hereafter be con
Quoted as the business of a partnership.
This arrangement has not been brought
about as the result of a days negotia-
ton but has come after careful consid-
Grafton, and trust it may lead to many
pleasant new relations, in both busi-
ness and a social way.
One of the excellent reasons that have
had much to do with the closing of this
arrangement is my firm belief in the
future prospects of Plymouth as a
growing, thrifty and in every way, a
prosperous and progressive city.
With the expectation of making this
city my home | trust that the future
nay prove for Plymouth more in fact
than now appears in prospect and that
the labors that may fall to me, and
to the INDEPENDENT, may have their
full share in building for the prosperity
and good of ALL
Very Respectfully,

necessary for us mortals to possess to be
enabled to enter. The musical numbers
were all well rendered and appropriate
