Politics has been discussed in many stores in Plymouth today Something certainly has struck the politicians in local circles today and if talking amounls to anything it means something Republicans and democrals have both had their say today The steam laundry proprietors had bad luck with their engine yesterday and tney were compelled to suspend business until repairs from Chicago arrived. They were compelled to work last night as a result. Frank Thoinas, who has been break ing on the Pittsburg for the past two years, has been promoted to baggageman and is now on one of the fast trains on that road.

Rochester Daily Republican. Will McLaughlin, the genial vale man at Kuhn & Sons was a caller at this ollice today. Will is recognized as one of Plymouth's most experienced clothing salesmen and we infer from his remarks that the January induce ments of the Una with which he is en gaged will guarantee a lively clothing trade. The cold, bracing air develops physical vigor, and humanity stores up health and inn Ids up a constitution against the time of enervating heat. The nations that accomplish much are the nations t licit have winter snow and cold; the nations that develop a spirit of sturdy resistance born of lighting the elements in their passiou. A young man by the name of Kelty whose home is in Donaldson has held the position of breakmau on the Pittsburg for the past two years was called in the general ollice at Ft.
