Last weeks Plymouth Chronicle
announced very conspicuously that
Hon. James Bingham, of Muncie, had
been invited to address the conven-
ton called by the boilers to meet at
Plymouth Saturday. June 9. Mr.. J.
w. Siders wrote to Judge Bingham,
informing him that Republican con-
vention was called to meet in Ply
mouth, Saturday, June 2. Judge Bing-
ham replied as follows:
Muncie, Ind, May ~, 1906
Mr. ]. w. Siders,
Plymouth, Ind.
Yours in relation to the convention
to be held Juae 9th and June End
duly received.
have not been invited to attend
the Convention June 9th-never
heard of it until received your let
ter
am sorry indeed to hear of this
trouble in Marshall county, and hope
that there will be some solution OF
it that will be satisfactory to both
sides of the controversy.
Thanking you for your courtesy
and hoping that harmony will finally
prevail, remain
James bingham.
The above shows that the Chronicle
gang is using the same system of
falsehoods to deceive the public that
they used after the organization of
the Republican county committee in
January. If anybody IS deceived now
it will be their own fault.

Metsker who claims to be a re-
formed gambler, recently attacked
all the preachers of Plymouth and
the newspapers for not announcing
in unmistakable terms that he is now
the best man on earth, and should
not be held accountable for anything
he did previous to his reformation.
He seems to believe that he is now as
pure as Dowie, the second Elijah.
and whatever he does, whether in
conformity with the law or otherwise
is right. In his paper of Saturday he
attacks Judge Hess, declaring that the
prosecuting attorney should refuse
to prosecute distinguished citizens on
criminal charges, regardless OF Aft
davits or evidence against such citi-
gems. 1t seems that Metsker regards
such men as himself. John d. iReeke-
Teller and individuals of the trusts,
as above all law. The prosecuting
attorney thinks that Mr.. Metsker does
not know when he is treated nicely.
A man with record. evidence against
him that would send him to the pen
itentiary, would always better go a
little slow in his abuse of preachers,
officers of the law and other leading
citizens.

PROVED FATAL.

live in the Cane Valley country, have
the sympathy of the people of Columbia
In their recent bereavement. Their
little boy, Willie. who fell in a tub of
hot water, reported in the News last
week, died in few hours after the
accident. He was idolized by parents
and grand parents and indeed, it was
hard to give him up. But God, who
said Suffer little children to come un-
to me and forbid them not" knew
best. To the sorrowing family we
would say weep not for the dear boy
who has been taken, but be ready to
meet him on the other shore. He had
never committed a sin, hence he is
with the angel band, where there is
neither pain nor sickness, but where
halleluiahs are sung Increasingly.

Last Friday night, at her late home,
near Chenille, the subject of this no

long illness, a victim of pulmonary
trouble. She was 80 years old, a con-

Church, and most excellent lady. She
was sister of j. w. Marshall, who is
known to many people in Adair county.
Her parents proceeded her to the grave
several years ago.
The funeral discourse was preached
Saturday afternoon by Rev. G.. r.
Abrell, many relatives and friends
being present. The interment was
near her old home.

We have been requested by the bet
ter element of the colored people of
this community to remind the grand
jury of the lawless conduct of many of
the race who live in the immediate vi
cinity of this place. Only short time
ago a colored man was killed in the
suburbs of town, and fights and other
disturbances of other character are
frequent occurrences. Persons who will
not, from sense of duty and citizen
ship, respect the law should be made
to do so. This unlawful conduct upon
the part of some of the young colored
men, is not only humiliating to the
better element of the race, but a
source of great annoyance. There is
work for the coming grand jury, and
colored people who want to see the
law enforced should do every thing in
their power to get proper witnesses
before the body.

and melodiously, that fresh laurels
were added to their merited reputa-
lions. AS pianist, Miss Bette ranks

a soloist, Miss Martha is universally
appreciated by all lovers of sweet sing

plaudits from the audience, and the
young ladies were honored with many

Misses Nina Marcum and Mary
Williams Before a Large
Audience.

The Recital given by Misses Nina
Marcum and Mary Williams in the
Lindsay Wilson chapel Saturday even
ing had been anticipated with much
pleasure for some time. A large and
representative audience greeted these
young ladies showing appreciation Of
their first attempt in an individual Re-
cital. The way they h e Id atten-
ton throughout the program speaks
for itself as to their ability and worth
of their selections.
Miss Marcum is exceedingly versa
tile; and better than all else, in what
ever she does, whether pathos, humor,
dialect or classical literature, she is
thoroughly artistic. Her naturalness
throughout her program was notable.
All of her numbers were handled
skillfully, but especially do we note
"Absolution, one of the very best
renditions of deep thought and pathos
we have seen. s'The Night Watch"
was especially good, showing. skilled
handling of heavy dramatic reading.
Sometime" sweet and beautiful
poem, was given with so much feeling,
and the soft piano accomp anirncls
played by Miss Williams, added to its
charm. The unaffected and captivat-
ing manner in which she gave the hui
morous monologue, ''The Debutantee, I"
pleased the entire audience:
We predict for Miss Marcum a very
bright future in Evolutionary circles.
Miss Williams rendered her numbers
in very pleasing manner, eliciting
much applause. Her Interpretation of
Beethoven's "Adieu to the Piano."
was especially fine. Miss Williams al
ways pleases her audience and is a ia
vorite. s
