If you can't keep your New Year's resolutions, don't break them, but give them to some poor fellow who hasn't any. An exciting baloon race was a leading event at Valparaiso Friday of last week. One baloon rose to the height of 4,000 feet." Miss Ida dinger, of Kewanna, and Miss Lydia Brise, of Marmont are visiting this week with Miss Mary and Ella Craig. Protracted meetings at the M. E. church are of marked interest through the work and persistent efforts of Rev. Smith. If you want wall paper don't buy until you see those samples of Hogarths.

The average weather seer is just now holding himself in and waiting for the predictions of the infalible ground hog, whose day of glory will soon be here. New Home sewing machines always on hand. The best machine on the market. Gives the leasts trouble. We sell them from J?20 up, at A. W. Lillybridge. AVe are informed that the second series of lectures, the first of which was delivered last week, are to be discontinued owing to the lack of interest manif ricl nil

Diphtheria lias become a terror to ut all, but there is a sure remedy now known as Dr. Wooley's anti-diphtheria compound. Shadel & Reynolds are the sole agent9 here. C. W. Welch represented Hiperion Lodge K. of I, at the funeral of Mr Vincent, undertaker at Walkerton last Friday. The deceased was a prominent business man of that place, having re

sided and being closely connected with the city's interests for over twenty years. The business houses of that place were closed during the funeral services. From the numerous tramp printers who call around now-a-days for a little help, we have come to the conclusion that the typographical errors are not all obliterated. Did it ever occur to you the reason old maids have a great love for cats. It is because they have failed to secure a husband, and cats are almost as treacherous as men. Secure your seats early for "The Cork Man" with Herbert Cawthorn of "Little Nugget" fame, in his great Irish character. Hansen's orchestra will also be there to furnish music. The Monticello Press is using every argument available to have that thriving city put in a system of water works. Keep it up boys, you will reap the benefits of your efforts. Shadel & Reynolds are selling Graham's Lamb's wool toilet soap for five cents a cake. This is undoubtedly the finest toilet soap on the market and is the cheapest ever known. A woman is generally better adapted for the duties of a teacher of children than a man, for the simple reason they are more in touch with childhood, and in sympathy with their needs. It is always easy to cure someone else of his rheumatism, but when we try to cure our own, we have to get down to business. The same can be said to be true as to the moral ailments of many. Reports this morning confirm the reports of yesterday. There is no doubt but the Chicora and all on board have gone down. The steamer and cargo were valued at 8180,000. No insurance. The officials of the Vandalia line passed through Plymouth Wednesday enroute for St. Joseph, Mich. The Vandalia railroad is financially interested in the reported loss of the steamer Chicora. The Pastime Pleasure Club, have fitted nice and commodious quarters over the Miller restaurant. They have two rooms very cozily furnished, with papers and periodicals for the use of its members. Do not forget that in throat trouble, when it has symptoms of diphtheria, that at the People's Drug Store, a compound is kept, that will stand the test. It is Dr. Wooley's anti-diphtheric compound. Lillybridge handles the Farrand & Vorty, and II. Lahn organs, New Home sewing machine, and the Starr piano, all new, no second hand goods, all at astonishing low prices.

Give him a call. Bremen is having a bread war. Not for the lack of the staff of life, but between rival firms. There is no reason for the housewife in that village to sweat over a hot stove with bread at three cents a loaf. Faw.ett, the postmaster at Lagrange, has become quite obnoxious to the citizens of that place. As in a grtat many instances there is a woman in the case. A petition for his removal as postmaster is being circulated. It is stated in legal circles that the man Raesbottom who ravished a girl a few weeks ago, will be tried in Marshall county. There is no doubt that he wiil receive a fair trial, and also receive the full benefit of the law. The Rochester girls are peculiar in their actions. Some of them flirt with all the boys part of the time. AVhile others flirt with some of the boys all the time. Then the remainder llirt with all of the boys all the time. Herbert Cawthorn of "Little Nugget" fame, with his large company of unexcelled actors, will be at the opera house Wednesday evening, Jan. 30, in his new comedy, "The Cork Man." It will be an event long to be remembered. New Years has passed so far now, that a great many of those laudable resolutions made so firm at first, are beginning to stretch a great deal. A great many of them are not elastic enough to stand much strain without breaking. The "Art Portfolio of the World," which we give new subscribers in connection with the Independent for $2.50, is the finest 500 page illustrated book ever presented to our citizens for the money. See the book then express your opinion. Chas. LaRue, who is in the employ of Chas. Harris, took unto himself a wife last Sunday. The lady who will share his joys and sorrows in the future, was a Miss Ida Marshman, of near Argo?. Friends of the newly married couple extend their congratulations. Lewis Suit, the genial proprietor of the Riverside barber shop, has added a new set of tonsorial fixtures to his establishment. The furniture is of oak, the chairs being the latest improved, being the revolving pattern. Mr. Suit is to be congratulated on his progressiveness. As a farce comedian, Mr. Cawthorn, has given the public many a laugh, and judging from his success in his venture, he has made no mistake. The play is entitled "A Cork Man," and is from the pen of George lloey, who has written the best comedies of to-day. It is a plot filled with interest, but not intricate enough to give us a headache. The company supporting him were carefully selected, every part has possi

bilities which are made the most of And those who think there is nothing but sorrow and care in this world, will speedily disabuse their minds by seeing Herbert Hawthorn, with his cyclone of fun. Don't forget the date, Wednesday, January 30th. The lecture at the Opera House, last Friday evening was very well attended, and the subject, "Washington and the Making of America," listened to with close attention. Dr. Shepardson, is a fluent talker, and he delivered his lecture in such a manner as to be understood by his hearers. The American people are not easy satisfied. They used to grumble long and loud because the postage stamps they bought would all stick together in their pockets. Now the postal department practically remedied that evil, the people are wailing loud and long that the stamps won't stick at all. Extensive arrangements are under way for the Marshall County Sunday School association which will be held at the Presbyterian church, this city, February ISth and 19th. An invitation is extended to all. There is no doubt of the reception that will be given visitors, as the reputation of our people is second to none. A wise Missouri legislator is making valliant efforts to secure the passage of a bill which will require all owners of vehicles to lengthen the double trees, so the horse will have to travel immediately in front of the wheels, instead of between them. He claims the feet of the horses will prevent the cutting ruts in the roads. The editor sat in his easy chair, and

his eyes were fixed in a glassy stare; he looked like one who was mad with despair, or crazed with a sore afflictionWhy look so wild ? Is the poor man crazed with his burden of care? Ah, no! a man from the outer air has entered his sanctum without a swear, and paid his last year's subscription. E. Spangle the jeweler, wishes to announce to the people of Plymouth, that he is now permanently established at his new quarters north of the postoflice. Mr. Spangle makes a specialty in the spectacle line, and as an optician, is receiving satisfactory returns for his work. IleHlso is receiving a large line of silverware and Jewelry, and. will be pleased to suit all those desiring w ork in his line. The meanest man on record, says an exchange, lives in Union county, Mo. He sold his son-in-law one-half of a cow, and then refused to divide the milk, maintaining that he only sold the front half. The son-in-law was also required to provide the feed the cow consumed, and compelled to carry her water three times a day. Recently the cow hooked the old man, and he is now sueing the owner of the front half for damages. r Here's great truth from an exchange: Newspapermen always know more than they write; they always shield more than they expose; thay are always more merciful than cruel. The man who trusts an experienced newspaper man may rely on the fact that he will be treated fairly. It is the mean, contemptible, sneaking, suspicious hypocrite that the newspapers are always after. No manly man was ever hurt by a newspaper. And no one is quicker to see the manner of a man than is the newspaper man, who studies men and their actions day unto day. An exchange tells of a wise farmer who mortgaged his farm to buy his wife a diamond ring; the wife took in washing to pay the interest on the mortgage, but finally lost her ring in the suds, and in a fit of despondency she tried to commit suicide by hanging herself from a rafter in the barn, but the rope broke and she fell on a $150 cow and broke the animal's back. The farmer tried to shoot the cow to end her suffering, when the gun burst and put out both his eyes; then the wife ran away with a lightningrod peddler, and the farmer went to the poor house. The mortgage is still doing business at the old stand. Mr. Walter Hilton, brother of Mrs. G. Kleinschmidt, while working the first of the week in the Broadway Methodist church, at Logansport, met with a very painful accident, and a miraculous escape from death. He, in company with another man were papering the ceiling, when from some unaccountable reason the board he was standing on gave way precipitating him thirty-five feet to the floor below. In the fall he struck against the side of the wall, and although frightfully bruising his arm and shoulder saved his life. A deep gash four inches long was cut in the back of his head and the muscle of his left eye paralyzedHe was removed from the hospital at that place, to the residence of Mr. Kleinschmidt's in this city, where he is now resting comfortably with good prospect of a speedy recovery. One of those irresponsible, eratic blood curdling, blizzards that is recognized in Kansas or Nebraska, as "Wafting of gentle zephyrs," swept down upon this section of the country Monday night with terrific force. The thermometer in the afternoon dropped like a chunk of lead, giving warning as to what was to be looked for, and by nine o'clock the full force of the storm was felt. At Chicago the entire day was crowded with amusing incidents, among which the lady shoppers participated in to a large extent. Those who are not familiar with the peculiar action of a

sixty-mile-an-hour gale of wind in that city, have not the least conception what propelling power it displays when confined between two or more sky scrapers. And while the inexperienced pedestrian innocently walks around the corner into a verüble whirlwind, an enormous crowd of men and boys will stand in the shelter of some large building and greet the unfortunate, be it a man or woman with a roar of laughter, as they are caught by the wind and whirled across the street in a manner in no ways dignified. The reported loss ol the steamer, Chicora. off st. Joseph, is truly apalling. It does seem to the man used to the land, a foolish venture to undertake to cross Lake Michigan in this kind of weather. But when it is known that the Chicora was one of the staunchest boats on the lake and under the command of the most expert lake navigator, it does not appear so bad. A steamer that can plow through large fields of ice with no perceptible trouble, is considered strong enough to weather such storms that has prevailed upon Lake Michigan the past week. Part of her upDer deck has been located along the banks of the lake, and while this is not sufficient grounds to pronounce the steamer lost, it is enough to cause those who had loved ones aboard to believe they are removed from their sight forever. There were twenty-six people aboard including the oflicers and one passenger, a business man of St. Joseph. All the light house keepers along the lake shore are keeping watch for the steamer, which may in all probabilities be a symbol of 'the ship that ne'er returned." At a religious revival not many miles from Plymouth, and at which very little interest had been manifested by those outside of the church, a peculiar situation of affairs has arisen. At an evening session the preacher announced that on a certain evening those who were not Christians were invited to give an answer to the following question: "Why they were not Christians; and if any obstacles were in the way,preventing them from affiliating with Christian people to state what it was." Upon the evening announced, those outside the benefiting influences of the church, were called upon to give their reasons if any. The answers were varied, but one particular feature was brought out, and that was: The inactivity of some of those who were within the enclosure of the church society, had a tendency to keep those outside of the church, from entering into the work. Now there is not a particle of doubt that the answer was given in all sincerity from a worldly view. Yet it is said a few evenings later, the preacher denounced the sinners in scathing tones. We believe in the first place, it was impracticable for him to ask them the reason why they were not Christians, and if when they answered the questions, he should have used his sacred office to disabuse their minds of the charges made, and how little it would avail them on the day of judgment. A Christian virtue is to overlook anything that may be uttered detrimental to the life work of a Christian man or woman, and strive to win the soul to Christ that is antagonistic to his teachings, by love and kind words.

Slanderers. "There are a class of men kuo'vn in this world of ours, as slanderers and backbiters. Their attention is directed continually toward the affairs of other men, and their mode of conducting business is always held up as a criterion to pattern after. As a rule, if their advice is not heeded, or listened to with the respect they think it deserves, they will use their influence to create a wrong impression in regard to the stability and integrity of the party advised. It is to be deplored that such specimens of humanity are allowed to exist and foster upon the products of a respectable community. If there is a man who deserves the condemnation of intelligent and home-loving people, it is the one who gossips and tattles about what he has learned through confidence placed in his integrity. No community has been known to be wholly clear of microbe of this character in human form, and until social laws are so regulated as to brand them as polution to decency andself-respect,they will foster upon the reputation and honor of some reputable citizen who has unfortunately come in contact with their venomous vaperings. While the Independent has been published in Plymouth we have in all our dealings with its citizens, tried to conscientiously do our duty as a newspaper publisher. Always striving to give our readers the benefit of as good a local paper as we could possibly produce, independent of all political environments. Yet we have come under the bane of the slanderer and falsifier. If wo had come among the people of Plymouth, with some crooked line of business, then we might expect to be condemned. But when we are here in a line of work, which we flatter ourselves in believing is for the benefit of the masses, then we surely have good reasons to believe our character and business met hods should be left untarnished, and especially by those who have no moral right to speak ill of this paper and its editor. The stories circulated in regard to the inability of the job department of this office to do good work, and the lack of

material, etc.. is untrue, and the persons responsible for these reports knew w hen the assertions were made that they were false. The report industrially spread by the same slanderers, that the Independent could not survive, knew they were telling something they could not prove, and did the cowardly act to injure the prospects of this publication. Now this is the first time we have ever paid the slightest attention to these wilful misrepresentations. But one thing is a fact, the next occasion will be more pronounced, and their names be presented to the gaze of a fair and impartial public If the Independent is ever compelled to go to the wall, it will do so with its flag at the highest point, and no man shall ever lose a cent when such an occurrence is necessary. Follow out the precept taught "to do unto others as you would have others do unto you" and attend strictly to the business you are intrusted with, is the advice we give to those who desire to injure the interests of the Independent.

A Potent Fact. While the Independent is using its own methods in working for the interest of its patrons along a social line, giving as near as possible an unbiased report of the local events transpiring in the county and Plymouth, and also expressing editorially its views upon the condition of the country and its needed reforms, we are also aware of the scathing denunciations made both public and private in regard to its political features, and the prospects for its survival in Plymouth. We are also fully aware who these would-be-reformers are, who realize how easy it is to run a newspaper when it is not necessary to feed the financial end of it. Another amusing feature of this attack, is the fact, that some of the most rabid in denouncing the editor of the Independent, are those who have not assisted him financially or otherwise, not even the payment of a subscription. While we have our political opinion, and propose to express it as we believe to be right, we will not allow any clique to map out our line of work, and dictate its following. Advice from true friends will be received gladly; but not from the man or set of men, who have an ax to grind, to the detriment of the community we make our home. The encouragement we have received gives these reports the lie, and the INDEPENDENT will be found at its post doing its duty by the people, and that to with a clear conscience, after those who have attempted to vilify us, have been called to another habitation. North Township. The farmers are now busily engaged in hauling logs and winter feed. Henry Arnold has been confined to the house for several days with a severe attack of rheumatism. Jerry Miller has been suffering for some time with a fellon. Schyler Keyser had the honor of hauling one of the largest logs that has been seen for some time.
