Brother Carter of the Etna Green
News, seems of late to have been con-
versing with evil spirits. This week he
is raising a howl about the boodlers
that are crying for water way to the
gulf, via the Illinois drainage canal.
He says they ask for % foot of water,
and does not see how those bolts that
draw % feet can fO down the canal.
Now brother Carter, this drainage canal
you are talking about Will have an ay-
erage depth of about 81 feet.

The efforts of the Plymouth City
Band to interest our citizens in giving
sufficient encouragement to insure band
concerts on our streets, at least once a
week, should be met with a patriotic
spirit. Plymouth should not be be-
hind our sister cities, who have arrang-
ed with their bands to give concerts
one and two evenings a week. This
matter depends largely upon the bust
ness men, and there is no doubt our
band boys will meet with a hearty re-
spouse.
The report of little shooting match
at Madame Foley's one night last week,
once more brings that place into prom
inence. Is this place to be conducted
in our city, Notwithstanding the protests
of our citizens? 1t is time the legal
authorities put stop to these nightly
debauches. If it is impossible for those
who have the authority to cause their
discontinuance, to stop them, commit

my GrandmCther's Bicycle, 1885," is
a notice that is posted upon a spinning
wheel in the large show window of
Bucks hardware store. This inscrip-
ton has brought out large number of
comments. Yet, how true are those
words, to the old residents of Plymouth.
For when they read them, their minds

This is queer world to live in. Some
people seem to think they are especially
endowed with privilege to lie, insinu-
ate and rail about some one else, and if,
in the course of human events, the tables
turn and the aggressor gets the worst of
it, like primary school boy, he snivels
and cries "injustice." How many a

ton to the spiteful meanness of some
busy body, but prosecutions began to
come thicker and faster, like fool boy
tickling the TANKS of mule until for
bearance ceased to be virtue and self
defence demanded that something be
done. In such cases the prosecutor
usually fares about as the boy who did

business enough in this world to keep
him out of other peoples business and
if he has not, it is good thing to re-
member that if he does not leave other
peoples business alone he will soon get
himself into business.
