HORSE VS.
AUTOMOBILE
Faithful and ALWAYS in
Repair.

The fact that the horses OF Indiana
exceed in value the stated worth Of all
other animals combined gives the view
that the march of the moter car into
the public heart has not been SO swift
as may be generally considered. In
the first place the auto enthusiast is
hardly the man to patiently and con-
sistently care for a horse and form that
attachment for the steed that is es-
seutial to the true horseman. While
the sutoist has gone footing down the
road the horseman has loved bis steed
lust little better. As safe and
sane means OF travel the horse is still
In the lead and there Is nothing to
dread, nothing to cuss, nothing to
take To the repair shop, nothing to
oe towed in. There is hardly an au-
toist in the country who ever cared to
drive horse, who ever had the pa
thence to develop an animals noble
qualities. The autoist belongs to that
hurrylng, energetic, forceful man who
can never 20 fast enough. The green
fields appeal to him little. He cares
nothing for the woodland stretches,
for the birds in the tress, fer the beau
tiful homesteads. He belongs to that
class of people who want to get there
who move with that one purpose, The
auto has not taken one sincere friend
from the horses and ten years from to.
day our equine friend will be just as
firmly established in our hearts as he
is today Warsaw Uniou.

BRILLIANT
SUCCESS
Was Second Number OF
Mozart Course

Plymouthites had an opportunity
last night of hearing a most delight
full and refreshing entertainment by
members of the Mozart Club assisted
by other first class local talent. The
rendition OF "The Holy City" had
been looked forward to with happy an
ticipation by all music lovers Of our
city and the Mozarts can certainly feel
proud over the large and appreciative
audience that greeted them. The
Holy City by Gaul, was suggested BY
the passage of Scripture Here have
we no continuing city," "Thy Kingdom
Come" and sets forth the desire for
higher life as expressed in the words,
"My soul is athirst for God, )" which
desire is followed by other passages
expressive of the higher life, such as
Eye hath not SEEM" The second
part was suggested by the words, 81
saw . new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away" thus realizing the
desire and promises contained in the
hrst part. With the exception of
two hymns, verse from Milton. and
three from TeDeum, the words were
entirely scriptural.
The music is so well written that
the keen lover OF music finds his ear
continually pleased and attracted.
The work of the principals was at all
times good, the soloists acquitting
themselves with great credit.
In the first part Miss Vinall sang
very charmingly, "Judge Me o God''
and the Plymouth orchestra rendered
two selections that met the approval
sof the vast audience.
The accompanies were Mrs. Grace
B. North and Mrs. Edna Corbaley.
the soloists were Miss Hazel Neff, Mrs.
Ida DeLoney, sopranos; Miss Name
Hoham, mezzo soprano: Miss Emma
Yockey, contralto; Prof. Heber Fl,
Richards, tenor; Mr.. Eldridge Thomp-
son, bass. The club was also assisted
by Prof. Heber Fl. Richards, Rev.
Geo. A. Plug, Rev. j. S. Keppel,
Messrs. Eldridge Thompson, Ralph
Leonard, w. II. Young, Oscar Burch,
Frank Southworth aud Fred Bonham

ribs, infiicting a dangerous wound.

darkness, going about six blocks from
his home. when he placed the revolver
to his head and fired bullet into his
brain. He was found in a few minu-
tes in dying condition, and taken to
hif home, but he can not recover.
The revolver was found about thirty
feet from where the boy lay. Both
Swank and Miss Alber were students
in the city schools, and Swank would
have graduated the coming spring.
Both are of well-respected families.

The Plymouth Band now one of the
finest and best musical organizations
In northern Indiana, is preparing to
give their third annual winter con-
cert and oyster supper. This band
now consists of twenty pieces and is
under the able dictatorship of Ben M.
Seybold and since its organization has
rapidly been progressing. Besides
the twenty regular members there
are SIX new players that will probably
assist at this concert, making a total
of 26 pieces.
The exact date of this affair has not
yet been ascertained, but will be some
time after the holidays. The mer-
chants and citizens of this city and
county can well feel proud Of this
band, as they have literally supported
it during the past two seasons.
Since the closing of the summer cou-
certs they nave received several clas-
sical selections among them being
"Faust" Mariana" and Bohemian
Girl" besides great many others
that will be rendered at this concert.
The band at its two former winter
concerts received the patronage of all
the citizens for which they wish to
thank everybody, hoping that all will
turn out this year and hear one of the
finest concerts right here in our city
that can be heard anywhere.

noon, to hear the sermon delivered

the strains of solemn music. and muf-

occasion doubly sad, regardless of the

which gave the vast throng such a
pointed object lesson.

the service. Although the situation
was one of grave Importance, the SUBJ

thetic, charitable manner In which he
spoke of the unfortunate dead and
admonishment to the living to SO live
and act that we may not be an aboet-
tor of misguided men but an aid to

one fact worth noting, that we have
grown so wise and forgiving as to
withhold our judgment and realize
that birth, education and above all
environment plays a mighty part in
the veal or woe of men. 1t also
