Prison sunday.

The observation of Prison Sunday by
the churches of our land is had with
increasing interest each year. Indiana
is sharing in this. Her work 10 prison
reform and the steps she has taken for
the prevention of pauperism and crime
lead us to expect that. Last year
hundreds of churches in this state
observed the day that has been desig
mated Prison Sunday. the last Sunday
in October. On it consideration was
given to those things which lead to
crime as we'll as to the effects of crime;
to criminals and their treatment; to
efforts at reforming the offender and
measures for the prevention of crime.
In these and kindred topics our people
are deeply interested. This year
Prison Sunday is October -. Several
of the district and state meetings of
different denominations have adopted
resolutions requesting their ministers
to observe the day. The result will be
many other churches will take part in
the observance. All those who con
template doing so are requested to
write the board of state charities, Indi

Evening News and Republican Are Dead.
The Plymouth Republican announced
yesterday that the Republican, with all
its likes and dislikes, is dead" 1t has
ceased to exist. An effort will be made
to start a new weekly paper from the
same office. The Evening News has
also ceased to exist. An effort will
also be made to start new daily. Hen
bricks and Oglesbee, who have been
running the Republican and News are
associated together in the new venture
The Independent has at various times
sought to impress upon the merchants
of Plymouth the fact that it covers the
daily field and that its weekly edition
leads the others in circulation. The
suspension of the Evening News ought
to be sufficient to convince everyone
that the old established Daily Inde-
pendent meets the requirements of the
public. 1t remains to be seen if the
men, who in their farewell acknowledge
that the Republican and Evening News
have come into disrepute under their
management, can give any better char
scter to new publica alton.
1t is very reliably stated that law
suit is to be sprung in the near future
by creditors holding mortgage on the
good will of the old Republican, Hen.
bricks and Oglesbee to be defendants
in such action.

900, but S1,OS1,OO0 of it cannot be paid
until 1915. The state finances are in
good condition, the auditor ssys, and
payments will be made regularly on
that part of the debt, the payment of
which is optional. The last payment

Business Men Attention.

Advertisers who have felt that one
daily paper is sufficient for Plymouth
would do well at this time to refuse en-
courgement to new daily paper. The
Evening News has suspended. If you
think one daily is sufficient, do you
know of better time to assert your
conviction on such q matter than at
the time such paper is starting? The
Daily Independent covers the field
completely and ell advertising which is
placed in new daily paper, is money
thrown away by the merchant
This is matter which good business
men will consider thoughtfully. 1t
does not concern the Daily Inde-
pendent so much as it does the
merchants who wish to reach the
most people possible with their sdver-
tising for the least money.
