A Sleighride Tin Over.

1t has been arranged that party
of Plymouth young people, some
eight couples, should 60 on sleigh
ride party to Bremen Tuesday eve
ming. They started with a team
from the Long barn on Washington
street, with the design of getting to
Bremen about $50, where there was
a dancing party to be given for
them. They got to within about
six miles of their. destination, were
on a road that was little travelled,
and the usual thing happened. The
bob went down III the drift on one
side, all were tipped out, and the
horses, headed back for home, start
ed on the run. Some of the drawer
boys of the party thought by rum
ming across fields they could head
them off, but their frantic struggles
through drifts were OF no avail,
and they missed the flying horses.
Meanwhile the team was well nigh
spent when it came to the farm
house where another party Of Plym-
outh youngsters were, and they
stopped the team, and the driver
having followed, a phone message
was sent to Mr.. Long and he went
with another team to the rescue.
The dancers not wishing to give
up and wait there In the road, sent
some of their number to a fern
house near by, and phoned to E1e-
men to have team come and get
them. This was done, and the party
reached the dancing hall at 11:O0
o 'clock. Meanwhile Mr.. Long had
arrived in Bremen with his rigs,
and at an hour that suited the
party the dancing stopped, and all
got in the sleigh, and with Mr..
Long ahead to guide them, they ar
rived in Plymouth at five o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Did they enjoy it? Sure, who
ever went on a sleighride who had a
better timer They did everything
that goes with such an affair, even
to the complete tip over, and barring
few scratches one of the bows re-
ceived, no one was the worse for
the ride. Will they 90 again?
just ask the girls.

Sleighride Party.

Tuesday evening a bob load con-
tanning about thirty members of the
Christian Endeavor of the Presby-
terrain church, enjoyed q ride to the
home of Absalom Miller, seven
miles northeast of the city. They
took oysters and crackers, and had q
feast such as only can be obtained at
a farm house. They had games, and
social time till some one thought
best to suggest coming home. They
arrived without any serious mishap
about three o'clock Wednesday
morning, all declaring they had a
good time and wanted to go again.
Such is young life, and we are glad
they can take such little outings.
May they live long and have many
good times together.

With the Sick.

Walter Bowel, son of Mayer
Bowel, is confined to his bed at
his fathers home on Laporte street.
The injury he received while prac-
ticing basket ball, has caused a
serious complication, and he suffers
much pain. His foot was opened
one day last week, and a quantity
of puss removed, and it may be
necessary to open a place that was
bruised on his arm. He is not
much better.
Mrs. Lizzie Pursel, living with her
daughter, Mrs. Fred Hill, on north
Michigan street, is still confined to
her bed from the breaking of. her
hip by fall on the ice some weeks
ago.
Mrs. J. V. Vangilder who fell in
the yard at her home corner Of
Pierce and Gilmore streets two
weeks ago, and broke a bone in her
hip, is resting fairly WELL The pain
is not so severe as it was, but it
will be a long time before she is
able to be up.
Chas. Wrightsman, former janitor
of the Webster school building, liv-
ing on west Jefferson street, has been
having the grippe and severe cold,
but is now able to be up.
Glen Kelly, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. B. Kelly, of Fl. Wayne, has been
quite sick at the home of his par
ents for some days, but is now in a
fair way to recover. He has many
friends among the young people of
Plymouth who hope for his early
recovery.
j. ID. Fields of Angel street, who
was injured some months ago by a
fall from the roof of barn, is able
to get about with the aid of a crutch
which will be good news to his
friends.

At the time of holding the State
Teachers Association at Indian
apolis during the holidays, arrange
ments were made for an exhibit Of
the work done in the manual train
ing and domestic science depart
ments of the schools throughout
the state. Some of the work of the
Plymouth schools, particularly in
the limited domestic science depart
ment which we are able to main
tain under the supervision of Miss
Aura Southwick, was sent to this
meeting. Those having the exhibit
in charge have been rather slow in
passing on the work, other duties
pressing upon them, but at last they
have reported, and very creditable
mention is made of the work sent
by this city, and the girls who did
the work, and their instructor as
well, are much gratifed that they
were thus recognized. 1t is hoped
that ere long the school authorities
will be able to have this work take
a wider scope, and rooms be fitted
up In a manner that will enable
those inclined to take up this branch
of study to develop their inclina-
tons. Manual training and Domes-
tie science are now we'll recognized
departments of the advanced schools
of today, and Plymouth should not
be in the background with any
measure that is of value to the
young people of the city.

Commissioners Adjourn.

The Commissioners had a very
quiet session this month and were
through and ready to adjourn by
Tuesday evening. Besides the regu-
lar looking over of bills, etc., notice
was given of bids for two bridges
and six abutments over the Pine
Creek ditch.
In the matter Of the Whitesell
ditch in West township the Survey
or was ordered to proceed with the
construction of the ditch. The same
action was taken in the case of the
James NJ. Shaffer ditch in Tippe-
canoe township.
There was some discussion over
the request of Mrs. Work for the
care of children act the Children 8
HONS north of the city. BY an
old contract Mrs. Work has been
paid % cents for the care of chill
dren of sound mind, and 30 cents
for those of feeble mind. The law
has been changed since the contract
was made, and now the limit has
been fixed at 35 cents in such cases,
but the contract between Mrs.
Work and the County Commission
ers has remained the same. Mrs.
Work thinks with the increased cost
of oil things that go to make a
living, she should have the advanc-
ed rate. No action was taken by
the commissioners this month, but it
may come up at a future meeting.

Charles H. Wilcox died on Jan.

Mary Wilcox received from the
Supreme Council of the order a
draft No. 55572. calling for the
sum of $500 in payment of the
policy carried by Mr.. Wilcox. The
order was drawn Jan. 81, which
speaks well for the promptness of
this order in making settlements
with their benefciaries. This will
be a great help to Mrs. Wilcox,
and surely she deserves it all, for
she cared for her husband during
his dependent days faithfully and
well.
Mrs. Wilcox will leave next week
for a visit Of several weeks with
her son in Chicago, and after her
return will likely make her home
here with old friends.
