Silver Creek Placer.

Cobel & Henson, the Silver creek
hydraulic miners, are steadily piping
and are improving to the utmost what
remains Of the hydraulic season. The
heavy rains OF February worked a con.
siderable damage at this mine and
valuable time was necessarily lost in
m aking repairs. A slide carried away a
large portion Of their new ditch, rs well
as small cabin which they had put up
near the diggings. About 30 feet o
their Pipe line was carried into the
creek and was swept away or covered
up with debris. The loss Of this pipe
hampers them considerably in the pre-
sent operations.

They live on memories of life's hopes,
Surrounded by their earth friends true.

The Farm Telephone.

Travelling through the farming dis
tricts one becomes more and more i'm
pressed with the manner in which az
riculturists are keeping pace with pro-
gressiye ideas and Improvements. This
is especially true in regard to the
number of farm telephones in daily
use. With one of these installed the
farmer has merely to call up any one
he may desire and he can transact
business, give orders. get market quo
tatioas or all OF his products, keep
thoroughly informed. ETC., without
going TO town. In the busy season he
is enabled to save valuable time and
facilitate movements all along the
line. He gives orders on the telephone
for up-to date machines, implements
and tools of all kinds. The farmer S
time is money and he saves time and
money by using the most improved
machines and facilities at his COM

The New Factory in the Old Novelty
is a Sure Go.

The work of rebuilding and refitting
the old Indiana Novelty plant for the
occupancy of its new owners will be
commenced at once. The president
of the company will take personal
charge of the preparations and sew
eral families will locate here as soon
as suitable houses can be found.
Mr., Miller states that the property
was purchased purely as business
proposition because they want to
occupy and use it and that no aid will
be asked of the city or citizens. He
says his company is amply capitalized
for its purposes and needs no bonus or
gift. The machinery will be put in
place as rapidly as they can get ready
for it and as many men will be en-
ployed as in any other factory here.
InaSmuch as the deal is closed,
deeds delivered and money paid, it
seems not at all likely that any hitch
can now occur to rob Plymouth Of the
good fortune that starts the year 1902

Who Could This Be?

A curious instance Of paying debt
of long standing occurred in Laporte
not long since, says an exchange.
Some % years ago one of the princi-
pals in the circumstance boarded a
travelling man with his wife and
daughter. At the time of their de-
parture in settling for board the ladies
were unable TO make change and the
sum, which did rot exceed 81, was
left unsettled. The day before Christ
mas of last year the woman who was
once the landlady received a letter
from her old-time boarder dated from
Plymouth. where the family had loca-
ted, in which the matter Of the debt
was brought up and the hOarder of %
years ago declared that she believed
the sum OF 10 cents was still due on
her board bill, she evidently having
suffered relapse of memory. Through
all these years the thought had troub-
led her and she was now willing to pay
the sum together with the interest on
ten cents for % years.
