ty-three lines and systems of steam railway entering Chicago and is regarded as the most valuable belt line .'n the United States. The Mishawaka woolen mills have a surplus of $100,000 the business done n 1001. They are not in the trust, tnd their enormous sales sho.v that the trust is not hurting them. This is the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, where the Arnerican troops under the command of General Andrew Jackson almost annihilated a British army 87 years ago. Another record broken in the year 190 is that of railway receiverships. But four lines, aggregating "3 miles, were so disposed of during the year and no receiverships are now in prospect. Miss Effie Snyder, of Kendallville, and her sister of South Bend, who have been visiting relatives and friends in Plymouth several days have gone

Mishawaka a place of 6,000, has had a municipal light plant since 1895 and it has been a great success. The receipts have exceeded the running expenses from the start. The total cost of the pUnt was $35,000, and the bonded indebtedness is now reduced to $12,000 by applying each year the amount formerly paid for street lights. What has been done in Mishawaka can be done .in any Intelligent community.

An appeal from Justice Jordan's court in Tippecanoe township has

been filed in circuit court bv the defendant in the damage suit of Benj. T. Meredith vs George Ellinger. It is stated upon reliable information the Goshen-Angola electric line will be completed and put in operation during the present year. This is the line that is projected to extend southwesterly through Bremen and Plymouth. An impression prevails that the eastern states have the largest number of banks on the basis of population. Such, however, is not the case. In New England there is one bank to every 7,056 inhabitants,- while in the western states there is a bank to every 4,986 inhabitants. Furthermore, Iowa has more banks on the basis of population than any ether state in the Union and Iowa is a purely agricultural state. . About three months ago Henry McDonald, aged 93 and Mrs. Rosetta Daniels aged 87 were married atFlora, Ind.

A special meeting for the common council was called for Monday morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose of hearing remonstrances in the North Michigan street paving, should any appear, but as "there were no objectors and two members of the council were absent no action was taken and an adjournment was had until evening. At the evening session the full board was present and there teing no objection the report of the city commissioners fixing the assessments for the paving was taken up by a unanimous vote and it was approved and confirmed, thus fixing the lien of the assessments from the date Jan. 6, 1902. The statement was made that several parties are desirous of paying the amounts due from them in full at once, which they can now do. AV. AV. Hatch & Sons presented two bonds, one for the maintenance of the Laporte street work, the other for the brick on North Michigan street, and both were referred back for certain alterations deemed to be necessarv. One of the members of the firm was present with their attorney, C. P. Drummond, and asked for the early payment of the amount due them from the citv on the work that has been accepted, which was agreed upon. The waterworks commissioner reported that several water meters owned by citizens were out of repair and desired to know whether they should be fixed at the expense of the citv. He was instructed to see that they are properly repaired at thfc cost of the owners. Complaint was made that the electric lights are not available all night according to contract and the city attorney was instructed to make an investigation and report at the next council meeting. The city engineer informed the council that John Giller's woodshed in Brownlee's addition infringes' upen a public alley. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and allevs. The Healy sewer was advanced another stage by the adoption of a resolution referring it V) the city commissioners to fix the assessments for its cost. In the course of the discussion of the .Hatch maintenance and brick bonds the city attorney wasrequested to prepare a set of ordinances for the protection of the brick pavements from such destructive agencies, foreign elements and unnatural wear and tear as traction engines, political bonfires and the like.

A PLYMOUTH PIONEER

Sequestered Taxables. County Assessor Leonard has just closed a year of great- activity in which he has placed on the tax duplicate sequestered taxable property assessed at $166,000, the uixes on which amount to $3,465. Deducting the expense involved in getting this property on the duplicate a tidy little

sum is left that the county would

otherwise have failed to secure. That

the amount is less than in most coun

ties does not indicate any want of earnestness on the part of the assessor

but rather proves the honesty of Mar shall county property owners.

Commissioners Court. The commissioners have granted license to sell iiquors as follows: John Kuhn; Plymouth; A. Q. Vinnedge, Lapaz;Charles Lehigh, Bourbon: Otto Walter, Bremen. neadstones for the graves of Geoege Stockman, late of Bourbon; and Jonas Heckart, late of Plymouth and Chas. Irwin, of Walnut township: have been ordered by the commissioners. Reviewers on tb-3 A. "W. Kline ditch in German township were granted an extension of time in which to make their report.

The Rochester Republican publishes an interesting article about the first newspaper man of Plymouth, whose paper, the Pilot , established in 1851, became theBanner and then theRepublican. We reproduce it below: , There may be several men in Fulton countv whose names should be recorded in history, but if there is one more deserving than another it is Dr. J. Q. Howell, at present a resident of the little village of Delong, in this county, where he is the sole proprietor of a nice little drug store and in some instances practices his profession. To be of still greater service to humanity MrsHowell, assisted by a young lady, provides meals for the traveling public and hungry humanity generally who are sojourners at that place between trains, and in this.wrv occa7 sional dollars are added to the exchequer of the household. Dr. and Mrs. Howell are five 3-ears beyond man's allotted time three score years and ten and are approaching the octogenarian altitude. But with all this they seem to be unusually well contented with their lot, always cheerful and very willing to render service t those of younger years. They were

united in the silken bonds of wedlock in 1856, when James K. Polk was president, and two years before the Mexican war. In those days.railroads were few and far between, telegraphing was just supposed to be possible, sewing machines, reaping machines and a hundred other present day inventions were unknown. John Quincy Howell learned what there was to know about the printing business in 1844 In Muncie, Ind. In 1848 he started the first paper in Wabash, but Wabash was a small town at that time and he moved the entire outfit by wagon to Anderson where he printed a paper for a year or two and thence to Lagro, in Wabash county which was a bigger town than the County seat. This did not prove satisfactory and in 1851 he come here and established the Rochester Weekly Republican. The friends of the enterprise promised to get him five hundred subscribers at $1.50 each, but only succeeded in finding about two hundred subscribers at $1.00 each. He could not make a living at ttiis and after printing a paper for five weeks he moved his plant to Plymouth where he printed the first paper for that town, called the Plymouth Banner, and supplied the Fulton county subscribers from that place. To show that he was quite dissatisfied with himself he changed the name of the paper to Plymouth Pilot, and at the close of the first jear's publication sold out and moved to what was at that time known as Marshland, in Fulton county, where he commenced the practice 01 medicine, and during the fever and ague seasons had a paying practice.. In 1866 he was made the Democratic nominee for countv clerk but because he was unable to leave his practice and make a successful canvass and adjust a bit of entanglement in his party he was defeated by Dr. ,Vernon Gould bv bixteen votes. Since w that time he has sought to obtain some recognition at the hands of his party but he did not possess the proper degree of nerve to push himself to the front and the honors and emoluments were not his to posess. Death of Mrs. Heminger. - Mary" A., wife of James M. Heminger, died at their farm home in West township Monday night at ten o'clock, after five long and weary months of suffering. The funeral will be held at trie Blissville church at 11 a. m. tomorrow. Her age was fiftyfive years. Woman 113 Years Old. Mrs. Augustina Sielwoski, of Detroit, will be 113 years old if she lives until March 12. Her eyesight has failed very much during the past four months and her memory is weak.

BAIU COMPANY

HROUGH this medium we wish to express our thanks for the liberal and satisfactory patronage given us in the year just

coming to a close. An examination of the returns shows increased life and sales in each of our many departments. Especially is this true of the Tailoring department, which has been taxed to its utmost at all times of the year. It has exceeded our most sanguine expectations, and this is certainly gratifying. We believe these results are the natural consequence of the methods and principles upon which this business is conducted. Honest goods, honest prices, complete stock, competent, intelligent and painstaking service, promptness in rectifying errors, coupled with the fact that our prices are as low as others, quality considered, are the bases upon which these gratifying results rest. We beg to state that these methods and principles will be scrupulously continued, leaving nothing undone to make this the popular and money-saving emporium of this county. In conclusion we wish to say that,, commencing with the new year, we will cease the coupon system; in other words, no coupons will be given on purchases. AH outstanding coupons will be redeemed at any time during the year 1902. The amount expended in purchasing premium goods was something astonishing. In dropping this system we will be able to give you better values at lower prices. Again thanking you for the past year's patronage, and soliciting a continuance, we remain, Yours to please, BALL & COMPANY.
