Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1898-01-14

Pursuant to call the delegates of the
18th, district met in convention In the Op-
era house Tuesday for the purpose
OF electing a delegate for the district.
The present committeeman from this
districts Peter Kruger of this city. Just
who his successor will be we cannot
even surLnlse but the indications at pres
ent lead US TO believe that Mr.. Kruyer
will be his own successor. South Bend
sent good round delegation headed by
b. r. Shively, John Ii. Stoll and other
prominent democrats of that city.
Every county In the district was well
represented. There were a few gold
democrats in the crowd and from the
anxious look on their faces and the IN
terest which they took in the proceed
ings leaves no doubt but when the ides
OF November comes around these men
who chose the gold side in the last
campaign will be found on the side
of the people when the votes are
counted.
The crowd wasn't the biggest on
earth but they had plenty of enthulasm
and from democratic point of view
10 was genuine feast of the faithful.
Voleny Bingham of Mlshawauka was
chosen chairman, and Chas. BEEN of
Elkhart secretary of the convention. Pete
hruyer was unanimously chosen t o look
after toe destinies of the 18th district for
another two years compliment which
is deserving and is appreciated by Mr..
Kruger. AT the hour of going to press
the committee on resolutions was still
out. The speeches delivered showed
that the old time battle cry of 10 to
would be heard again during the com
ing campaing. The resolutions adopt
cd will be published tomorrow.

Smile Pleasant,

Learn to laugh, not gigle, laugh is
better than medicine. A well told story
is as good as sunbeam in the sick
room. Learn TO keep your own troubles
to yourself The world is too busy to
care for. pains and sorrows. Learn to
stop croaking about your neighbors
they are just as good as you are. If you
cannot see any goOd in the town you
live in pull out and leave it and the peO-
pie will thank you for it. Learn to hide
your aches and pains under a smile.
Don't cry. Tears do we'll enough in
novels but they are out of place in real
lie. Learn to meet your friends with
smile. A good humored man or
woman is always welcome but the
pessimlst is not wanted anywhere and
is nuisance besides.

The township convention will be held
on the 9th. of May and the county
convention May 28th. Four months will
elapse before the people will know who
the county candidates will be, and four

to make up their minds as to the proper
person to nominate. For some of the
offices there will be no opposition. But
for clerk, and auditor there will be some
hot scrambling.

"A Valparaiso dispatch says farmers
in Porter and western Laporte county
have discovered they have been fooled
by fruit tree men in sums ranging from
500 to 500. Last spring agents secured
the name of each to contract for an
acre of ground upon which an eastern
nursery company wanted to plant large
and small fruits, take care of it them
selves for five years, and then turn 1t
over to the land owner as his. This
was done to advertise the nursery, the
agent said, but those who signed the
contracts are notified that their fruit
trees are in Valparaiso and to come
and get them at prices ranging from
$50 to 500. Fourteen farmers have
paid 800 each, but Six others will
stand suit
