Small Amount Lacking for the New Industrial Enterprise.

The soliciting committee of the Business Men's association engaged in gathering subscriptions for the projected factory to occupy the old Novelty plant still lacks about three hundred dollars of having the required amour t. Monday was the last day under the proposition submitted but a brief extension has been secured by telegraph and the effort will be continued. Every, citizen of Plymouth is vitally interested In the matter and should consider well before permitting any act , or failure to act on his part to stand in tbe way of this enterprise. It is not a mere question of sentiment that is appealed to, though the feeling of public spirit should alone be sufficient in such a case as this, but it is a question of individual benefit in direct pecuniary ways. There is not a merchant in the city who would not make more than a hundred dollars the first year and every subsequent year as a direct result of the location of the proposed industry, and there is not an owner of business or residence rental property who would not be immediately benefited by the increased demand for such property, while the numerous indirect advantages of such a growth of the city's business would be felt in many ways by everybody. It is not every day that oppoitunitiesare presented for locating meritorious establishments such as every one admits the city ' needs, and there are plenty of places looking out for such chances and ready to snap them up eagerly. No one should feel that the concern now in view will come here anyhow, for it will not there is no reason why it should. Neither will any but a very unwi:e and unobservant man say that if this establishment does not come some other will," for that is not according to experience. The success of cities as of individuals lies in grasping opportunities as they tly, not in sitting about complacently and waiting Utr good things to be forced on them. - If the proposal now made is not in every minor detail just such as a very particular person may wish it to be, that is no reason for casting it aside. The gentlemen of the Business Men's association have deliberately given the plan their official approval and that should satisfy everybody, for these men have gathered the facts and considered them well - and they know what Uiey are doing. No plan could be devised that would not ic cur . the criticism of some individual, and so each must yield a little something for the benefit (k the whole. By common consent it is. agreed that Plymouth needs more factories. They add to the general wealth, sup port the merchants, fill the" houses, give work to the unemployed and make towns worth living inland in vesting in. Every -resident of the city, and indeed every farmer within the trading radius, should do everything within his power to aid in se curing enterprises to locate here, not only by his encouraging talk but by substantial donation. Such gifts are not chargeable to charity or expense, but to investment, and they return a hundred-fold. Last Hundred, The factory committee has raised all of the subscription for the purchase of the Novelty plant except about one hundred dollars and they feel that the end of their labors in that behalf s in sight. It would be an everlasting disgrace to the city if the effort should be permitted to fail when the goal is so close and no one can believe that failure will be suffered to occur. A few have declined to ' subscribe, or have put down amounts that are inadequate as compared with others, and this has had a tendency to discourage some who would otherwise be as enthusiastic as any. It takes all kinds of people to make the world and naturally enough some are niggardly in every community; but they may safely be left to their own consciences and to their common repute among their fellowmen for punishment. For other.people to punish themselves and the whole community by standing back because their short-sighted neigh bors do is like cutting off one's nose to spite his face. 2 ext. weeK we. nope to announce that the full sum is raised. Such news would be followed by an immediate request for a list of rentable residences to be sent to the factory people, who would establish eight families here without delay. Sam Parker at the Capital. Samuel Parker of Plymouth, one of the best-known democrats of the Thirteenth district, was registered at the Grand yesterday.

Stil well of Princeton is also spoken of in connection with this nomination. Indianapolis Sentinel.

Porter of Culver; Marian, widow of Andrew Korp, of Culver, and Henry M., postmaster at Culver, who succeded to the business of his father and is now conducting a large establishment. Mrs. Speyer was a kind, Christian woman, who was sincerely loved and respected by a large circle of acquaintances. Her patience and fortitude in time of trouble are recalled no less than her sunny and affectionate dispo sition, her charitable inclination and her strong common sense. - Pythian Entertainment.
