Achilles North was in the capital
of the state Wednesday and made
the start for home by way of the l..
E. & w. that leaves there about 5
p. m. due to arrive here at 9:28.
The train left Indianapolis all right
and after some delay reached Peru,
where it has held up till Thursday
morning. 1t finally got away and
reached Plymouth after two O'Clock
Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. North says that # we put
just as much more snow as we have
here on top of it, and then add
some more on top of that, we would
have a fair idea of the snow there
is in Indianapolis and Peru. He
tells of interrurban cars not being
able to keep their track and running
off, till finally they were abandon
ed, and no effort was made to move
them. School children had to be
carried home, and could not get out
again. Business was stopped,
drays not being able to get along the
streets of Peru on Thursday
Stories of twice as much as we
had here, and the storm being more
severe, Is encouraging, and now
that it Is over we can settle back
and still claim that we live in the
most favored spot on earth. We are
indeed sorry for the fellows down
state who had it so much worse than
we. You have our sympathy.

The court held that en- American
bushel is the same as wat is known
as the English Winchester struck
bushel, of 2,150.42 cubic inches, but
when applied to apples and pears,
potatoes and such things it should
be heaped up to contain 2,74.715
cubic inches. The question was de-
cided in an importation of apples by
Charles Weber Jr. The government
lost its contention that struck"
bushels should be the basis of Gus

BOURBON WANTS ROADS.
Farmers and Townspeople Join To
Secure Protection From Waste
of Heavy Hauling.

Again Marshall county is making
an effort to get better roads. This
time it comes in the way of a petit
ton for eight miles of macadamized
roads running in all directions from
Bourbon.
The petition of Bourbon township
people is headed by DIR. Matchett,
and one hundred and three other
names follow. Of these 81 are own
ers of farm lands.
The contemplated roads are to
run from the pavement In Bourbon
north to what is known as John
son s corners, and then west one
mile. South it will run from the
end of the pavement to the town
ship line, distance of one mile.
West it runs from the pavement to
the Armantrout school house, a dis
lance Of two miles. East from the
pavement it runs two miles. The
entire scope calls for approximate
ly eight miles of stone road.
Should the action be favorable,
and the road finally ordered and
built, the cost will be met from
township funds. 1t is then turned
over to the County Commissioners,
and when accepted becomes county
property, and is maintained by the
county.
