Observations.


adjuncts to Plymouth. One of the fin
est locations to be found in any city is
lying idle on Michigan street, and would
no doubt prove paying investment.
No city the size of Plymouth, can boast
of less facilities for caring for the tray
cling public. Our advancement de
mands it, and if those who have the
opportunity to reap this ripened har-
vest, do not take advantage Of it
they will discover when to late, that
some one with an eye to business has
seen the opportunity, and grasped it.
Yes, and while We are plodding along
observing the different needSof cur hust-
ling city, we might remark right here,
that we need an opera house. Nhi'e We
have in the past registered a kick IN re
gard to the present auditorium, we
believe these rebukes cannot come too
often. Next To good hotel, built upon
a modern plan, comes an opera house.
We. years ago had centennial" eXhl-
bition at Philadelphia, and It was IN
structive and OF benefit TO those who
had the pleasure Of attending it. But
at this present day and age. the worlds
far, has caused the centennial, to be
come back number.
Thine il Wit j. tho II 'a,,fapniaI'- nnaro
house, of Plymouth. Can we not coax
or persuade those directly interested III
this opera house to remodel this eye sore
and receive the thanks and blessings of
an appreciatiye public. New scenery,
opera chairs, the walls daintily papered,
and ceilings frescOed, the wood work re-
painted, and a good sweet toned piano
for the use Of theatrical companies,
would be blessing to the theatre going
people of Plymouth.
If it will be impossible to secure this
relief in our present opera house, would
it not be an excellent policy to form a
stock company and secure ground at
some point near the business portion Of
our city and erect an opera house. 1t is
not essential to erect large brick struc-
ture, but a modest one story frame
building so constructed as to be utilized
as an entertainment hall of every de-
scription. We know of several cities
where they formed stock companies for
this same purpose, and have proved
every time winner. VIII some OF our
hustling business men entertain this
idea and put it into operation.

Now we have also observed that the
idea of fixing up our city park, will soon
take a definite shape. This is surely a
good move. And why not? There is
not place in the state Of Indiana, where
a more picturesque, natural, location
can be found for few hours of pleas
ure and recreation than our city park.
And such flowing well. No other can
be found like it this side of the Rockies.
By all means let this De attended to as
soon as spring opens.
We are also aware of the natural ad-
vantage our city has for the location OF
manufacturing enterprises. We have
also observed that there are a great
number of these firms who are located
in large cities, where their expenses are
so high and with land rents so exhorbit-
ant, that they are very anxious to locate
in some hustling, bustling city. We
want them, of course, but will we make
an effort? Now how is this:
WANTED Factory location near Chi
cago, employees 100 hands and does a
business of 100000 a year; state advan-
tageS and inducements.
Address II. O. box o13,
CINCINNATI, Ohio.
We just give this for our business
mems association. There are any mum
Der of such opportunities that will prove
a great benefit to our city if secured, but
of course the effort must be put forth.
We have noticed with qualification
also, that those who reside on the south
side, and who for the past month have
been deprived of the use of city water
have not up to date registered very
great kick. So much for their kindly
spirit But we are not at this time pre-
pared to state how long this attitude OF
meekness will continue. We are con
strained to remark, that those upon
whom the duty falls, should as soon az
practicable relieve the present condition
of affairs.
In observing the signs of the times
outside of the new democratic silver
party, the indications for booming
spring trade in Plymouth is very appar
ent. The business depression of the
past winter has been SO marked, that
