C W. METSKER, Pub. and Prop. PLYMOUTH, INDIANA c CURRENT TOPICS WASHINGTON'S MEMORIAL. One hundred years ago last Friday the founder of tha Amorican nation n-ei away. The peaceful ness of his death -was in keeping with the quiet and undisturbed life which he had led throughout his last days at Mount Vernon. That his life nd'ght have iv?en prolonged had modern medical methods been available is now generally conceded, and it is still open to debate whether the course of hu doetors in copiously bleeding a man of his age was not the immediate cause f death. On Thür? lay he had caught a severe eold whib riding around hiestates. Dr. Craik, who was not summoned until 5 o'clock Saturday morning, diagnosed the ease aa "cynacho traehealis," or ''inflammation of the upper part of th- windpipe." Keccni medical writers have afliimed that the symptoms point to a malady which would no.v be known a- acute otdcnius laryngitis, a eonipar:-iti iy rare complaint. The disease, .-it all events, in-:.;rfer-d with bn-aMiiug aitu progressed rapidly. Th-- piu ;.-i;;n after consultation.
