THURSDAY

VIM. Bristol returned to his home
In Bourbon Wednesday evening
after being witness in court. $
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Mccormick Of
Frankfort, who visited the. families
of Stephen and Elias Days near
Donaldson for several days, passed
through the city on their way home
today.
Being engaged In court all day
Wednesday, Attorney Charles Kelli-
son did not go home till evening,
and when he attempted to get to his
house, he found he could not do so
until he went and bought snow
shovel and dug through the drifts.
j. j. Christ of Monterey, assess
or of Pulaski county, who was here
attending the meeting of assessors
Tuesday, visited with C. P. Hollo-
way and the families of Anthony
Molter, Balzor Scheetz, and others,
returning home this morning.
Bruce Joseph writes from Will
mington, N. c., telling of a light
snow fall at that point, but says
that people do not stop for that.
but go in bathing just the same.
Sounds just little "fishy" Bruce,
but we accept it "being as it is you
that tells it"
Frank Martindale who is studying
law at the State University, Bloom
ington, is home for a stay with his
father over Sunday. 1t being Wash
ington's birthday it is vacation at
the school. and as Barney" may
be in with tie base ball squad this
year, he came hone now fcr /: s.sricf
visit, as there will be no chance
when they get at the ball practice.
Harry Buck put out his sign de-
claring that the best lawn mowers
In the world were for sale at his
store. We do not know how many
he sold on the strength Of the card
placed on the snow bank, but we do
known that his sales would have
been more than doubled had he put
notice in the Republican telling
the merits of his goods.
Mrs. j. s. Crowder is expected to
visit Mrs Humrichouser here dur
ing the first week Of March. Rev.
Mr.. Crowder is now in Cleveland,
o., engaged in evangslistic work,
which has occupied his time for
some years past. She is going to
join him at Cleveland, and will stop
here for few days on her way, as
she desires to meet her many Plym-
outh friends.
Wednesday the city mail carriers
only attempted to make one round
to the residence districts, the busi-
ness sections being all they could get
to In the afternoon. The rural men
were all late, Loga got in about
4:30, and Foreman and Shepherd
did not get in till Thursday. 1t is
is a good thing that they are not
compelled to start out today as it
would be impossible for them to get
through till the roads are broken.
In many of the roads the drifts are
over the fences, and way will have
to be made through fields.
The local freight on the L. E. & w.
Wednesday afternoon was stuck
this side of Argos, and men had to
come from as far as Kokomo to
help dig it out. The passenger
that is due here at ALI arrived
after ten, and laid up here. All
the men that could be obtained were
engaged all night in shoveling in
the big cut north Of city, and
the passenger that Id come to
Plymouth going soutE at $50 We'd
nesday evening was stalled between
Laporte and Walkerton completely
showed In.
When the wind whistles and
screams around the corners, many
people who are in the warm shudder
at the thought of fire breaking out
at such time. They are not alone
in their thoughts. The Chief Of the
Fire Department is alive to the
situation. Extra precautions are
taken to be ready for any call. A
team is kept hitched to the hose
wagon day and night, with man in
charge of them: All other prepare
ton that is possible is made, and
should there be an alarm the men
are ready to answer the summons
with all speed possible.
Improvements are being made in
several store rooms in town. The
Barnes Tailor shop is being repaper-
ed and painted. The Buck hard
ware store is having. new shelving,
and a new front will be put in
with single entrance in place of the
two doors as now. The brick vault
that was put in when the room was
occupied as bank is to come ont.
