THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Mews from the Surrounding Territory as Given by Our Correspondents. KNOX. “Good Friday” was one of the most disagreeable days of the spring Elder W. W. Denham, of the Christian * church, delivered to the citizens of Knox i the baccalaureate sermon dedicated to Misses Ella Hollyday and Hattie R. ; Robbins, high school graduates of Knox. The discourse was pronounced by all as a masterpiece of eloquence, logic and cul ture. The services were held in the M. E. church, and Rev. B. 11. Beal conduct ed all the preliminary exercises. Both Brother Beall and Brother Denham are i held in the highest esteem by our cit ■ izens. Everybody is satisfied with the ver I diet of the jury in Sutherlin’s case, to wit: Imprisonment for life. The old court house was hoisted upon rollers, but the first attempt to move it, resulted in breaking the machinery. They have gone after mor. with whi>h to move the building.

The nominees for town officials are unusually affable now just before the election. How will it be the next day after the election. We had heavy wind in Knox all day Sunday. The F.

Robbins and family visited our town, the guests of H. R. Robbins I and family. John M. Fuller, formerly of LaPorte, is one of our J. P.'s here. It is gall in the extreme when two average i-itizens from Plymouth come over into Starke county and one mur i ders the other, for Marshall county to attempt to jeer at Starke county. It is to be hoped that the next set of den izens emerging from Marshall county will go east instead of west. From best sources many of that class could leave Marshall county to the good of the country, if they would only keep going and i not return. 3 The Nickle Plate R.
