UHDER THE horseshoe: LIES PLIilTH
This Is the Slogan Adopted By the Commercial Club and Percy Troyer Re
ceived the Five Suggesting It. " Under the horseshoe lies Plymouth," is the slogan adopted by the Commercial Clab Friday night. Percy Troyer is the author of this battle cry and to him was awarded the five dolhrrs in gold promised to whoever should furnish the successfid slogan. Twenty one members of the club were present to vote. Ninety-three phrases had been handed in, most of them apt and the work of choosing was no easy task. Perhaps one feature which turned the trend of popularity to the slogan chosen was a letter from Marshall, . Texas, whose slogan is "At the end of the Rainbow lies Marshall, Texas." This letter was lying on the table and read by most of those present and the similarity of conception attracted attention to our slogan. Twelve copies of the ninty two slo-rans bände! to the committee had been made. Each slogan was numbered and there was nothing to indicate the author of any. Each member of the club wa3 requested to rote r.n the three . slogans of his choice. The three most popular wee numbers 2. 44. and 91. A second vote made ' the decision. After the choice Mr. Wenzler suggested to Mr. Snoeberger. who happened to he standing. near, that we nutrht to rdace a h? horseshoe over the Michigan street bridge, with the word "Plvmonth" under it. This would represent the idea of the slogan. He also mr?esW that Mr. Snneherr contribute the electricity to licrht it. The latter relied that h? wordd b Tnnrp tbn lad to do so.

POST OFFICE
WILL CLOSE
AT 7 O'CLOCK INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY POST MASTER STEINER THAT HE MAY SHORTEN HOURES LOBBY OPEN UNTIL 8 City Delivery, It Is Said, Hti Done Away With Much of the Desire For Evening MaiL Pursuant to instructions received today from The First Assistant Postmaster General at Washington, D. C, the stamp and general delivery window at the local post-office will close at P. M. beginning Monday, May 1. The lobby will remain open until 8 P. M. as now and all mail deposited in office lotter drop before that time will be dispatched that night. Box patrons will continue to have same priveleges as before. No change in hours has been made at the office since the - establishment of city delivery service two years ago, and it has been found that service does away with much of the need of keeping the general delivery open until 8 o'clock. Cities, in the state, of the cixa of Plymouth, and with the same- benefits of city and rural service as a rule dose their windows at six or seven o'cloek and so give the postoficeclerks some of the benefits that earners enjoy. ' i It is probable that in line with the Departments policy of shorter days for it's employees that a nine hour schedule will be , arranged for the local clerks. U. B.

popular with a large circle of friends who sincerely mourn her death. Funeral services were conducted by the Pastor, Rev. G. T. Ronk, and burial was made in Oak Lawn cemetery. Joseph N. Low. Joseph Newkirk Low, the seventh of a family of ten children, was born in Wayne county, Ohio, Jan. 23, 1838; died at his home eight miles southwest of Argos April 21, 1911. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, attended the country school at intervals and remained with his parents until his marriage to Sarah Ann Thompson Sept. 13, 1860 when they moved to Illinois. To this union were born nine children; Lloyd (deceased), Mrs. Fairle E. Simons, C. Ellsworth, Mrs. Lillie M, McFarland, William E. (deceased), Mrs. Emma Shivers, Mrs. June E. Lawrence, Welcome J. and Mrs. S. Margaret Lawrence. At the breaking out of the Civil War, Mr. Low responded to his country's call and enlisted in the Ninth Illinois Cavalry Company M. His regiment was actively engaged in many of the successful and bloody battles of the war in all of which he bore a brave and gallant part, acting as color bearer. He was mustered out of service Dec. 1, 1864, and engaged in farming. He was for many years a member of the Lafayette Gordon Post No. 132 G. A. R. of Argos. As a result due to exposure while in military service for his country, he became paralyzed in his lower limbs and for more than 24 years has been unable to walk but such was his strength and his patience and sweetness of disposition that he never complained, but was always cheerful, humorous and full of quaint fancies. He was a loving and thoughtful husband, an affectionate and indulgent father, a kind and obliging neighbor and beloved by all who knew him, none ever leaving his home but that they felt better for having been with him. About a week before his death, he called the family together to give them parting advice and instructions. Among other things he said, "Be good to Mother, be good to each other, be good to everybody." This is a testimony of his truly christian character. He professed no creed, belonged to no church but was always generous toward them and contributed for their support and helped build many of the churches in his neighborhood. In his younger days he was a great Sunday School worker and a singing teacher. He leaves to mourn his departure, one brother, Peter D. Low, and one sister, Mrs. Connelia Lockwood, his devoted wife and companion for over 50 years, seven children, 18 grandchildren and one great grandchild, besides a host of relatives and friends. He was 73 years, 2 months and 21 days old at the time of his death. The funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday at10 a. m. by Rev. L. Coomer of Marion, Ind., and were largely attended. Mr. Low was very fond of children and as a last loving tribute to him his little grandchildren acted as flower bearers. He was laid to rest in the Poplar cemetery. Those attending the funeral from a distance were Mrs. Sarah Shirley of Chicago, Mrs. Martha White of South Dakota, Chas. Goheen and Mrs. John Goheen of Ft. Wayne, and Mr. Nye McFarland of Kentland, Ind. On account of sickness in his family, the son, Welcome J. of Portland, Oregon was unable to be present. Advertised Letters. Wm.

"Eb" Parish ended his life Tuesday morning, about 8:30 o'clock by leaping off the Lake Erie bridge into Yellow river. Barefooted without hat or coat, his trousers rolled up to the knee, he ran wildly down the Lake Erie tracks stopped on the bridge over the middle pier, dropped to his knees, yelled "Good bye, boys," and jumped off to a watery grave. He struck on the pier as he went down and then fell off into the river below. The total distance to the river is about fifteen feet, and the water is about six feet deep. Seen by Mrs. Dimmitt The suicide was seen by Mrs. Pearl Dimmitt who lives on Oak Hill avenue, near the bridge. She was in the yard, saw Parish running wildly down the track, saw him kneel, heard his good-bye cry and saw him jump and fall into the river. She at once told the neighbors and a rescue party went to get Parish out. They were unable however, to each him before death. Dragged Out by Marshal Marshal Dan Jacoby with Bert Sisk as oarsman went down the river in a boat and with hooks made at the blacksmith shop dragged the river bottom and although the water was very muddy, soon found the body of the dead man, and brought it to shore. It was taken to Leonard's undertaking shop. Cause of the Suicide. The cause of Parish's suicide was drink and family troubles. A few weeks ago his wife brought suit for divorce and he seemed to be greatly worried about this. Every time he saw Dan Jacoby he would ask about the divorce and talk about his wife in a troubled way. He went on frequent drunks and was undoubtedly crazed by whiskey when he committed suicide. Yesterday he was on the streets selling fish, and with the money must have bought whiskey. He stayed at the home of his broth-er-in-law, Dan Walker, and it was from there that he ran down the Lake Erie tracks to his death in the river. He was thought to be under the influence of delirium tremens. Joe Glaub from the Interlocking tower saw Parish running down the track, and further on down he passed two 'hobos" who called to him, but he paid no attention to anything. His actions were those of a crazy man. Jurymen for JJay Term Selected The jury commissioners of the Marshall Circuit Court havs appointed the jurymen for both grand and petit juries.
