The stink and filthy sediment is more obnoxious that the scummy green ponds which filled the i ir with malaria twenty years ago.

Austin with the assistance of H. A. Logan of this city obtained a victory over the tovsu of Hourbon.

Last evening the Gem cigar store opened its doors to the public for the first time since its change of ownership.

The large Regina music box is a permanent addition. The basket factory has been com pelled to cancel every order received during the past few months on account of their limited capacity to supply the demand. When it is learned that the capacity is limited solely on account of their crowded condition and that with a larger space in which to operate ten times the amount of work could be accomplished it may be imagined what Plymouth is losing by not nWtung in during oilers to the company. The surrounding cities are eyeing the basket factory with jealous eyes. Several of the stained-glass mosaic windows on the south side of the Episcopal church have been broken by boys who play base ball, foot ball and an endless variety of other games in the vacant lot adjoining. As these win dows can be repaired only by sending them away the damage is not trivial.
