PLYMOUTH STORES PUT ON
HOLIDAY ATTIRE AND AT
TRACTIVE DISPLAYS ARE
SEEN IN MANY PLACES.
LOOKS LIKE FAIRY. LAND
The Bee Hive, Lauer, BoswiTth,
Ball, Reynolds, Losey, Bunnell,
and Others Make Plymouth
Attractive.
At Lauert the south front window
has a display of Bath robes, dress-,
ins: jackets, and other articles in
this line, with a back ground of
mirrors, framed in white frosted '
cotton with Poinsettia flowers as'
the decorations. In the north front
window are novelties of all sorts for j
gentlemen's furnishings, with the'
same flower effect as in the other;
window. In fcc north windows'
clothing and hosiery, with the color 1
scheme still the same. The interior
decorations are unique. The ceiling
lamp shade's are in the form of art
domes, and festoons of cut paper
with the Christmas colors white,
green and red make a complete and
attractive appearance throughout. '
To attempt to describe in detail,
would be impossible, and one should
see to fully jrrasp the plan of this I
display. Otto Bobbins is the expert '
artist who has charge of the deeorat- t
in? of Lauer s store, and this Christ-
lima uil'id t JCUCCIS CI tu 11, Uli ills j
taste and tact.
The south window in the F. TV.
Bosworth store is the work of G. V.
Kelley. and" the north i? ! handi
work of A. D. Sanderson. They
are gentlemen worthy of iraise for
the result they have attained. The
south window has shoes of all kinds,
and the north ladies eoads of all
descriptions. The backgrounds are
mirror effects,, with decorations in j
both green and whit? .hollv. Christ
mas color festoons, bells, all so com
bined as to crive a most pleasinsr
sight to the eye, and shows good
judgment in the combinations. In
side the store are a series of booths
with furnishings that are distinct
and cannot fail to delight the be
holder. The entire plan of windows
and interior makes makes up a per
fect scheme that is worthy of praise,
anl must be satisfying to the proprie
tor. Charley Reynolds ' Drug Store is
alwavs in a condition of perfection,
as regards furaihirrrs and neatness,
and of course his window for this
Christmas time must be in keeping
with the usual conditions about his
place. That there has been no fail
ure to keep up the reputation is
evident. This window is a most
charming ereation, with the Christ
mas colors, Christmas bolls, and the
display of suitable goods. As in
other instances this window must be
seen to be appreciated, and no one
can pass by when the lights are turn
ed on without being attracted and
brought to a stan3 still to gaze on
its beauty. William Reiver is -the
designer and builder, and has dis
played tht artistic taste in a striking
degree.
With window and store decora
tions the Bee Hive is right up-to-date.
The large window on the La
porte street side where the ladies
coats and suits are shown, have a
simple back ground of lace curtains,
on which are hung the beautiful
Poinsettia flowers. It makes a pic
ture that is a delight. The size of
the windows gives a roominess that
enables the artist to so arrange this
goods that it is not overcrowded,
and the best view is from across
the street. Be sure and see this
window. In the front windows fne
decorator has used the same Cali
fornia State flower, arranging his
display in a neat and pleasing style
that best . appreciated by seeing.
Inside the deskrcer has kept the same
open simplicity, and this store
throughout is one of the finest and
most pleasing sights in the city.
Arthur Kring is the designer, and
bis work is well done.
"With the south window of John R.
Losey s store given over to cut glass
and hand painted dishes, and the
-h used to displav silver ware,
watches, jewelry, and all the various
articles that rank up the complete
line that this slore is noted for, no
wonder that a most beautiful pic
ture is made. With tl e Poinsettia
blossoms, the holly, and the poppy
blooms. Lott Losey assisted by his
mother., has succeeded in creating an
effect that delights 'the beholder.
Holiday gifts are shown in count
13 number and variety, and the
FOB
interior of the store is as attrac
tive as the windows, with the same
plan of decorations. Do not fail to
look in at Mrv Losey 's for a beauti
ful scene is t'jere.
Ball & Com pa ivy have two' very
pretty windows. A white back
ground, with pink heading, an arch
effect, with Poinsettia flowers, white
holly, festoons, and vines make up a
most pleasing sight. One window
has, gentlemen's furnishings and the
other has novelties for ladies, etc.
The interior of the store is. made up
with a pyramid effect, with fancy
handkerchiefs and vines that pleases
the eye. and mak?s an attractive
whole that cannot fail to get notice
frnn ti e huver at this place. Chas.
Humphreys did the north window,
m l C- a'. 'lau1! th? south, and both
show a decree of taste that is worthy
f comtrendation.
At Frank Yangilder's grocery the
decoration! are on an elaborate scale
for the grocery. One expects with
dry goods and notions a displav will
he made that is in keeping with the
assortment, but a grocery store does
not give the decorator the same
chance. However Ren Vamrilder has
shown his. early training as a decora
tor of houses, and the elaborate dis
play is pleasing and attractive.
In t-'C win low r.f Rhodes store
''re i-i a disrday of Christr-as toys
t'it are a jov to the little folks.
n-d the pasrhy is brought to a
halt at this corner by the endless
variety shown, and the ta?t displav
ed in the arrangement.
The disnlav of fol in the win
dows of J. C. Bunnell's store causes
even the bv.sv man to stop and take
notice, and the offerings made here
for the holiday trade will surely at
tract the one who is looking for the
useful as well as ornamental.
C. Z. Rowe. while not having a&
yet put on the Christmas colorings,
ha a window that cannot be passed
without stopping. This store las
gained a reputation for its good
looks at all times, and just now the
disolay is unusually attractive.
Another window that cannot fail
to delhrht the children and all those
who have young hearts, is that of
Frank Jacox at the Racket store.
There will be seen a fire-place with
Santa Clans peering over the chim
ney, festoons of Christmas colors,
ill the tors and notions that bring
jov to the child, and add to the
Christmas cheer will be found in
this displav. Mr. Jacox never does
thinjrs by halves, and with the "able
assistance of Miss Vera Suseland
the general attractiveness of his
show window will measure up with
anv thin? to be seen in the city.
Mr. Murphy at the Oarro street
tea and coffee store, has a window
that is worth going the length of the
street to see. w'th its' delicate
simplicity. and pleasing design.
While in the vacinity of this store
take a few steps further and see
what is in Carl Kbckner's window.
You will be pleased to see how fine
a line of goods can be found at this
place, for taken all in all these two
new ventures in the mercantile line
are fully up-to-date with their at
tractive displays.
Fred Wenzler is another one who
is. always in the front rank with
ererg" and push, and his window
will be thronged by those who al
ways expect to see something worth
while. A big line of holiday goods
is shown, and the pennant decora
tions, with holly entervined, makes
up a most pleasing display.
Mr. Ileitsmith who has the old
Southworth grocery has made his
clerks put on the holiday attire, and
his windows and store furnishings
are in keeping with the season.
The Variety - store on Laporte
street makes up an attractive win
dow display, and the holiday throngs
will gather there to view the end
less assortment of articles that are
offered for the season's trade.
All cannot be told of the various
displays made, but it is remara1-''
when we take into consideration the
beautiful furnishings now compared
with a few years ago, when a little
branch or two of evergreen, with a
twining 'into wreaths, with a few
red berries here and there, constitut
ed the sum of all our Christmas
decorations. Our stores are a fairy
land in comparison. Take a stroll
about the streets, and' you will be
pleased and delighted at the beauty
and grandeur of the windows and
stores.

28 The Issue In the Next Cam
' paisn All Looking For the
Best.
Indianapolis, Ind., December 12.
Indiana Republicans are preparing
for reorganization for the coming
campaign. As time goes voters are
more and more impressed with the
tremendous importance of the
fight with all the importannt state
issues made and forced by the Democrats-
anl by the forces that now con
trol the Indiana' Democratic organiza
tion, the further weight of the pres
idential issue makes the approaching
battle significant in a large sense.
There is a marked interest in the
coming reorganization of the Re
publican party in Indiana.
The voters are asking one another
what is best to be done, and how best
results may be obtained. There is a
general and sincere desire to do the
thing that is best for the party and
for the people. The issues are
fraught with menace to the public
well-being.
Indiana Democrats iu congress
have made the issue plain to the
people. They propose to make the
fight against the principle of pro
tection to American industry. They
propose to fight for a tariff-for-rev-enue-only.
They propose to carry
forward the destructive work they
did at the special session and in the
same way. They simply reflect the
demands and purposes of the Demo
cratic caucus at Washington, D
So the question is bluntly placed be
fore the Inaiana voter. Does the In
diana voter desire another trial of
the Democratic idea of a tariff-for-revenue-only
T - t
Does the Indiana voter wish to put
in power a party that pledges itself
to destroy the protective policy at a
time when all other powerful na
tions on earth have adopted that
policy? Does the Indiana voter de
sire to permit destructive Demo
crats to put this nation absolutely
at the mercy of the other protec
tion countries of the world? How is
this nation to get concessions abroad
unless it maintains protective sche
dules on which to trade with other
protection nations? Where is re
ciprocity possible without protec
tion as a basis for exchange?
The Democrats, out of their own
mouths, offer destruction, uncer
tainty, chaos and famine, just as
they provided those things in 1892.
If state issues were lacking for 1912,
the people of Indiana yet would
have plenty to make them pause in
the immense menace of national dan
ger to be seen in the Democratic
position.
Indiana Republican editors, in mid
winter banquet at the Claypool hotel
Indianapolis, on or about January
28, may hear Walter L- Fisher, secre
tary of the interior as chief orator.
It is said that the editors left in
the hands of National Committeeman
Harry S. New the mutter o getting
a national figure orator for the
editorial banquet. It is said Mr.
Fisher as a former Indiana man,
noted as one of the best speakers in
Washington line, is the speaker fav
ored by the editors. Fisher, it isl
said by his close friends and ad
mirers, would make an ideal orator
for the big editorial spread. He is
being seriously considered, it is said,
for the Republican national chair
manship in 1912.
Foley. Kidney Pills
Are tonic in- action, quick in re-
sults. A special medicine for all
kidney and bladder disorders. R.
Bronson, South Bend, Ind., says: "I
had a case of kidney and bladder
trouble for a number of years. I
was not able to obtain any relief
until I used Foley Kidney Pills. I
had such severe backaches that at
times they seemed like a knife in. my
side. I was troubled rnth dizziness
on arising iu. tbe morning and could
hardly keep on my feet. The use of
Foley Kidney Pills for a few weeks
cured me of all these things and rny
kidneys and bladder, are as healthy
and strong as tbey ever were. Foley
Kidney Pills are the . only , thing I
have been able to obtain for ny
kidney trouble.' ' Fred 7eaxlsr.

(
writes under the nom de plume of
"Annabel Lee' visited a few hours
Thursday with her uncle Ezra K.
Barnhill, at his home on Alexander
street, in south Plymouth.
Mrs. White was born in Argos,
her mother being a sister of Mr.
Barnhill. Her parents now . live i.i
Los Angeles, California, and Mrs.
White is sent out by the manage
mtnt of the great Los Angeles Floral
Festival that takes place iu January,
'Und is interesting newspaper and
other interests in the larger cities of
the east in this Festival. She , is on
her way now to Washington, New
York, Philadelphia, and other points.
Her trip is hurried as she must be
back in Los Angeles by January 1st.
During the Festival one unique fea
ture will be ascensions by Rodgers,
the noted aviator who made the
flight across the country, who will
make ascensions and drop showers
of flowers from the sky. This
Festival is an annual affair, and this
year promises to be the greatest in
the history of the Pacific coast. Mrs.
White is a woman of marked and
more than ordinary ability, or she
would not be selected for this im
portant work. That she is a native
of Marshall county is an honor to
us, and that she can find time to
stop off and visit, even briefly, with
her uncle who is a helpless cripple,
and unable to leave the house, js
evidence that she is still possessed
of the loving heart of her girlhood,
and not puffed up by her success in
this line of work.
Mrs. White reports her parents as
well and happy, and her aunts, Mrs.
Whited and Mrs. Cleveland, who
are sisters of Mr. Barnhill, as in
good health indeed much better
than when residents of Marshall
county.
While here Mrs. White also visit
ed her cousin, Mrs. L. J. Hess and
familv. Her special work is writ
ing autograph interviews with great
men. Her plan is to interview noted
persons on some line with . which
they are connected, write the inter
He'. thn svbmit it for their ap
proval and signiture. She recently
wrote an interview with President
Taft, and obtained his signature to
it. Mrs. "Wirte is now compiling a
book that will consist of the inter
views with leading men in various
walks of life, which will be publish
ed jn a few months.
Mrs. White went to Argos to visit
r fw hours with old friends there,
and visit the ' scenes of her child
hood. Poinsettia.
At this season, and especially of
late years, we see much of the
'Writion cons?tinT of tbe Poin
settia flowers, and people wonder at
the queer name, and how snch a
flower came to he so called.
Joel Roberts Poinsett was horn in
Charleston, South Carolina, in 1779.
and died in 1851. He was educated
in Connecticut, made a tonr thronsh
Europe and Asia, studied medicine
and military science, and on his re
turn in 1809 was sent hy President
Madison on a mission to South
America to inquire into the condi
tion of the Spanish provinces, then
in revolt. He established commercial
relations between this country and
Buenos Ayres, and went across the
conntinent to Chili. Returning to
South Carolina, he was in the state
legislature, and was a member of
consress in 1821-25. He went on a
mission to Mexico in 1822, and was
minister to that country from 1825
59. On his return he was a leader
in the union party, and was Secre
ts rv of War in VanBurens cabinet.
He founded an academy of fine arts
at 'Charleston, and save a museum
to the Smithsonian institute.
It was Joel Roberts Poinsett who
brought this flower into prominence,
and it jrbt its name from him. Tn
botany it is known as a "Mexican
schrub (Euphorbia pulcherrima)
with very large and conspicuous
vermillion bracts below the yellowish
flowers.'
Poinsettia is so much like the
"Christmas red' that it has be
come quite the tbinsr for use in
holiday decorations, and makes a
beautiful appearance. Tsed with the
eve; appropriate holly it makes a
striking contrast, but at tbe same
time preserves a delightful harmony
when used together.
Mrs. Barthel Breaks Ann.
Mrs. Chas. Barthel fell from a lad
der to the floor Friday about
nine o'clock and broke one of the
bones in her left forearm. Her side
was also quite badly injured, but it
is thought no ribs -were broken. She

of M. E. Day's place to clean up
the house preparatory to moving
there, as they had bought it recent

Best On Earth"
This is the verdict of R. J.Howell
Tracy, O., who bought Foley's Honey
and . Tar Compound for his wife.'
Her cane was the worst I have ever
seen, and looked like r sur case of
consumption. Her lungs were sore
and she coughed almost incessantly
and her voice was hoarse and weak.
Foley's Honey and Tir Compound
brought relief at once and lsss thin

STUDENT OF AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT OF PURDUE
UNIVERSITY SHOT AND
INSTANTLY KILLED.
IMS MODEL YOU HAN
Son of Mark Jacoby Living East of
Plymouth, Was Home Two Weeks
Ago, And Was To Return For
Christmas Vacation
This Week.
This comunity was startled Thurs
day by the word that John C. Jacoby
was sbot and killed at Lafayette,
Indiana. He was the .son of Mark
Jacoby, living east of Plymouth, and
was a student in Purdue University.
John C. Jacoby was twenty years
of age the 12th day of last October
He graduated from the Plymouth
High School in June, 1911, where he
had the respect of his classmates
and teachers. He was a young man
of extraordinary strong moral worth.
He was a worker in the Presbyterian
Sunday School of this city, coming
in from the farm to attend each Sun
day. He was much interested in
the Teacher Training work, and in
every way morally a model young
man. He was a student naturally,
and desiring to ft himself for his
life work, entered Purdue in Septem
ber, where he was taking a course in
Agriculture. He was of course in
the Freshman class, and was well
respected bv his classmates, a nun
ber of whom will be here to attend
the funertl. His teachers speak in
the hisrhest term of his worth, and
his grades were eminently satisfy
ing to them. Since going to Purdue
he had united with the church there,
and wrote his sister, Mrs. Charles
Heim, all about his taking this step.
He was home two weeks ago, and left
for Chicago to join his class who had
gone there to see the FatlStock show.
After going back to school, he felt
somewhat indisposed, and worried
over his. examinations as"" most stud
ents do. However, he was counted
as doing good work, and no fault
was found with him. He had been
taking treatment for a slight in
disposition from the attendant
physician of the school, was in his
class in the forenoon Thursday, went
to his room, and in the absence of
his room mate, the sad affair happen
ed, no one will ever know exactly
how. He was found with a bullet
through his heart, and died instant
ly. '
His people were notified, and hast
ened to Lafayette. The finding of
the coroner was that it was im
possible to know how it occurred.
The remains were brought to Plym
outh Friday, and taken to his
father's heme. The funeral was
held Sunday afternoon at 2 :00
o'clock with burial at the Jacoby
church cemetery.
The sorrowing members of his
family have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community . in their
bereavement, for all can mourn for
the untimely end of a life that had
such good promise of a bright future.
Tt is a consolation to them to know
that he was a perfect example in
his moral life for others, and should
some other .boy be prompted by
viewing the pure life of John C.
Jacoby, to live honestly and up
rirhtlv. the life that is now ended
will not have been in , vain.
He was ever thoughtful of others,
and had already bought presents
for the family for tbe . Öhristma?
time, as he would have been home
the present week or the - vacation.
