While the shares may be Slo.uo let it be so arranged that the payment of the shares will be dividid into four equal payment during the year. In this way, by judicious management, and an enthusiastic effort put fourth, a largt sum of money would lie in th. hands of the treasurer of the Commer cial Club, besides the accumulation year.

Our rea-lers no doubt have fresh in their memory an article in yesterday's In dependent wherein "A.

Appreciating the gravity of there quest asked at our hands, we proceeded in an honest and fearless manner to learn the exact facts of the charge. made and present to the public the evidence secured by close investigation. The facts in the case are, that the republican county central committee met in l'lymouth last Saturday after noon, at about 2 o'clock, in the vacant bui.uing formerly occupied by Kyan & Joseph. And further, at this meeting, SpOMMIui x ,,, ,rt, j Wiltfong anil J. M. Ulack, were elected to the position of chairman ani secre tary respectively. We also learned from competent witness s that at no time during Saturday, Jan. 1Mb, was the ottice of the county clerk obstructed many who were lormer readers of the Democrat an explanation is necessary.

Hilt I llrld ln.lr if, on UoimI To.ie;ir In Court. From Monday's Dally. The trial of Wilber s. inn, occupied the entire afternoon in justice Peeves' court, and during the trial the well known phrase of "Standing Koom," was visible to all those who attempted to enter the hall of justice. It is truly marvelous how a cae ,f this kind will bring out the men. T'-vfl ö-ww ual struggle was going on by those pres ent to claim this piece of inoffensive furniture, to get a glimpse of the plain tiff in the case. Mr. Chas Kellison was the attorney for the defense, and the manner in which he handled the case convinced those who look upon the case ivith an impartial eye that the evidence presented by the plaintiff was not per tinent to the charge made. J udge Hess handled the prosecution. While in our estitmation Mr. Hill is not guilty of the serious charge made against him, and believe tie will be discharged when the case convs up before the court, yet lie has built up for himself an unenivable reputation, not only in Plymouth, but elsewhere, and it is to be hoped that the lessons presented in the proscutions he has gone through during the past month, will lead him to be more cir cumspect in the future. A e learn that attorney Kellison lias applied tor an early trial and under the circumstances it should be granted, a hopeless wreck because he has select ed your premises as a pleasure resort the night before. He has been there the mischief is done, and you have n recourse, because your neighbors dog. never goes Leyond its owners yarui fence, and you don't know what neigh bors dog has done the mischief.
