1t is not generally known that the
late Col. Robert G. In yersoll was dem.
ocrat up to 1862. His brother. who was
afterward elected to congress from an
Illinois district, was also democrat
He Topped at the same time that Bob
went over in'o the republican camp
The congressman was an exceptionally
handsome man and as genial as he was
handsome. He was delightful con-
versatiOnalist.
.Mrs. Frederick is dying near Lake
vile, st. Joseph county, of hydrophobia
She is sixteen years old and was mar
ried year ago. A month later she was
bitten by dog. About ten days age
she harnessed herself, placed bit in
her mouth and hauled a buggy for a
mile before she was caught. She was
locked in barn and commenced to
eat hay. She now snaps, barks and
foams at the mouth
A pet groung hog is one of the inter
esting features of a home in North
Plymouth. No one could wish friend
lier or gentler four footed companion
The one trouble seems to be that oc
casionally it violates the law of Ell
Quette and reason and insists upon
making itself too familiar The child
rem in the nelghbOrhood knowing that
even the b7st have their faults, readily
overlook this undesirable prOclivity
They have something to occupy theiI
undivided attention and for that they
are thankful.
We are not all so honest In owning
up to blunder as Dan Busssrt. Yes
terday he started out for Lapsz and af
ter half days driving found himself
squarely planted in the town of Inwood
The fact that he had struck out for La
paz which is eight miles north, and haG
| finally reached InwoOd which is six
miles east, struck Dan In such comica
light, that he preferred to drive back tC
Plymouth in order that he might tel
the joke and then pass on to Lspal
instead of taking a much shorter route
leading directly from Inwood.
A man expresses his establishment
that the churches in Plymouth cal
forth such large attendance. True
the benches in front of the pulpit are
seldom filled to half their seating ca
pacity but the wonder remains thai
they are filled at all. Does the average
citizen ever think of the powerful
counter attractions which the Plym
outh church must contend with? There
are the excursions. From three to six
steam away from this city with Their
human burden every Sunday but nc
trains retaliste by bringing people here
Pretty Lake is a desirable retreat and
i'm order to be there before the day
grows hot most people succumb to the
temptation and ride out in the morn
ing Instead of going to church.
AT THE CHURCHES.
