The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-05-30

The Chronicle has boiled its good
roads movement down to a clipping
from the Bremen Enquirer, and
column devoted to ]. H. Lehman of
Polk township, and we can't discern
quite by the article whether he is
commencing Mr.. Lehman as a good
road supervisor, or as a willing and
subservient committeeman. He is
surely patting him on the back for
something.
Miss Dora Poland, one of the
charming girls whoformerly lived in
Bourbon, is now in Chicago. She
has been in North Dakota teaching
but decided to go to the above city
to study to be trained nurse. She
is in St. Luke's hospital studying and
will make a most charming nurse.
Any one sick would be benefited by
her presence without taking medi-
cine-News-Mirror.
Metsker gave the council his per
mission TO construct the North Wal
nut and Harrison street sewers last
evening, and it is likely the work
will now progress uninterrupted. If
the farmers had secured this gentle
mans CD permission to allow the
council to grant them telephone
franchise the unnecessary scramble
would not have taken place in the
council chamber last evening and we
might have harmony galore by this
time.

There was an unearthly smell and
sizzle on the griddlc when he put the

attend to the culinary department in
The future.
The field men in the Indiana dis
trict of the II. J. Heinz Pickle COM
pany held a meeting Monday at the
Ross house to consider plans for
their forthcoming crops. On account
of the late and cold season they urg-
ed farmers to plant cucumbers, as
they may be more profitable than
spring painted crops. The time for
planting will be from the 10th TO the
Goth of June. One of the gentlemen
connected with the sailing station at
this place said that, owing to the fail
ure OF certain crops a much larger
area will be planted in this county to
cucumbers than heretofore.

one occasion and has number oil
acquaintances. He was in the state

Tive Mcdonald and was one of the
Democrats that bolted the house
when the negro suffrage measure
came up. He said he believed the
measure should first have been sub
nitted to the people. Speaking of the
present, the judge said: "We have toe
many voters in this country now,
believe, although that is not popu-
lar statement TO make. You people
here in Plymouth know little of it
lwhere you have no large influx of the
far eastern immigration. In Fort
| Wayne, where we have Syrians and
those of kindred nationalities, who
know nor care nothing of the prin-
| ciples of government, but have the
privilege Of the ballot, | think the
franchise will in time be dangerou:
menace TO our country.
