' , HER VACANT LOT!) II Kit CITI ( ZENS TO BE AWAKENED OB HER CONDITION TO ' ' ' BE USIMPEOVKD, ' ' A gentleman met us a fw days ago on the street and asked this question t Why not build more houses in Plymouth ? I see from the Beacok that families continue to move here, bat not before to-day did I Sue where they all got to." ; Now" this is the mystery to many, it is true that famines are moving into our town and they, manage to fet sheltered, bat la what style ? , This can a answered by looking into , some of onr residences, see the hooso with four , rooms and ask who lives there, and the .answer will be. , ''O therj are two families , living in that little house, one is Mr, Jones, wife and four children, the other is Mrs. Smith, sister and children." ,. ow this is about the, style our people are living, and we can truthfully point out some houses where not less than five families live, v ; ' Now with this state of affairs would it not be a profitable investment for sume of our (citizens to build houses to accommodate three people and to cause others l who are anxious to locate in our, midst. , to come. When we say build houses we do not mean "shanties." but such buildings as would improve the looks and value of our . town, and as decent people would be. likely to rent or purchase. ' , . . v , It Is useless to argue to us that such a move on the part of the citizens wool J prove a failure for it is not so, we will refer allwho may doubt our statement to Mr. E. Ludford, Mr. W. H Hampton and perhaps a few others. Mr. Ludford has greatly improved the ; upper end of Washington street both in look and value by boilding the large two story dialling wuioh he sold to Mr. J E Vincent, and the bean iful cottage now occupied by himsolf. It iu true some of the houses erected by. Mr. Hampton are small, aud are occupied by negroes, but they are in the suburbs ' of the town where he did not Mhiuk white people would be likely to rent, yet he has improved the looks and value of that part of the town. The houses erected by him in the central part of the town, on Main strevt, are very ' hand.-oiue.? Now if these gentlemen spoken of can build houses for rent aud for sale, as they have, why will it not pay others who have vacant lot, to do iijt jwise ? Had our citizens not ratber see the town built up with Hue houses, for which they would bu receiving a revenue, and at the snme lime helping the towu, than to let the lots lie vacaut ? Does it not make our citizens feel bad to have visitors come to the town and Bay : "Why Plymouth don't improve but little, I was here rfeveral years ago and all these lots were then vacaut.'' But Plymouth' has improved of late years, the trouble is her progress has been so ; k'.OW that even her own people can scarcety ee it. We wish to see it improve iu such a way that even the passer.by may note , th- ; rapid progress sue Is making. " ' i . .. If we would have the . population to in crease we must provide houses for them . Every house m the town is cow occupied, and as above stated some of them by more than one family. Now we cannot expect people to seek to locate here nule&s we have houses to offer them. Some will rise and strike this article a terrible blow with the cry,; The people have no money to buy houses;' what is the use for us to bn Id houses just to rent part of the year while pervtp half of the year they are vacant ?' But we are prepared to proye that such argument is all talk. Wm advertised for Dr. Ward bis re sidouce for sale, the paper wis issued at S a. in., and before 12 o'clock he hod received live or more bids ou tue property and before niht had sold the entire estate to Ouo of the re. cent comer to our towu. . The truth is tLU, if the men .who . want house htd the iaui to build on, we would pee, within the next year, that Plymouth wax ou the boom, but if the people who have the lots insist ou keeping them and not building the Louses wo may not expect neither wi I we, Bee any great improvement in the looks of our towu, neither can we look foward rosier fnture with any great anticipation,: ' If we would be thought of as a prosperous town our citizens must ba awaken to the lutere-tsor the town, , mo town has ever yet grown and prospered whoso citizeuB were asleep to its interests and we wish to impress ou our citizens that Plymouth is no exception to the rule. A TRIP TO JAMES VILLE. On Sunday morning last quite a number of onr f oung men, oue of the uuuber being ye t-ditor, repaired to the A.. & li, depot, where they barded the 8:30 train for .lames, villd, to atiend the Dedication Celsbratiou of the Disciple Church. After a run of twenty minutes we were landed safely at Jamesvill", where on the platform stood a lago number rt citizens, who , had gou to to meet the people of Plymouth and offer them, for h dy, the hospitalities of their homes, which some of our people accepted, while we aud a number ot others sought the comforts to be found at the Mizelle House. 1 The moroiog passed off quite pleasantly and at 11 o'clock ail repaired to the new church, which is a beautiful building well arranged Tnere we lou nd every seat taken and even the ixles were crowded with peo ple anxious to hear the dedication sermon, by that able State Evangelist, : Kev. R. W. Stancill. ' Being unable to get room ye editor lert the church aud called at the residence of Mr, George Burras, which, with its surroundings of beautiful shade trees, offers to th j weary au irresisUble temptation to se k rest npon that broad veranda. Here we met two of our ludy friends from Washington, and after two hours Bpent most pleasantly we returned to the hotel where aw&ited us a dinner fit for the lords, to which we did arapH justice. ( The afternoon was spent very pleasantly. Services were held at the church - but we found it as in the forenoon, filled fo over flowing. At 6 o'clock ve again boarded the -train and wera soon fiyiug through the country, through bills and over rallies, behind the iron horse for home. ' We are pleased to note much improve, ment in that little town since our last visit there. New houses are seen going 'up on all tides sod it seem that the town has been awakened from its old slow and easy way of years and within her borders : are found some' of the most hospitable people of oar acquaintance, to whom we, iu behalf of the ladies aud geMileuicn who were there on Sunday last from this town return many thanks for the kind manner in which we were treated, and in conclusion we will say that if the people of Jamtaville should ever visit Plymouth they will find a hearty wel come from her eitiMtis. FLIPP COMMENTS MAKES A TRIP TO JAME8YIU.E ' 8UNDAT AKD ATTENDS CHUBOB WHAT BE SEES TBEKB. ETC , ErC THE OLD TOWN COWS. , Well editor I hand you to-day a poem on the old town cows that now grace our streets. . My idea is not to make fun of these cows for I really pity the poor old things.. You 'will say after reading the poem that there is more truth than poetry iu ft. I think the proposition made by the BEAON last , week is good the town cows need help from somewhere and a cow hospital would be of much benefit. -r: I suppose yon enjoyed your tilp up to Jim Town Sunday, and don't you thiol' I did for a married man? I Insisted on taking "that wife of mine" wiih m. bnf she vowed that that Was the last thing she wanted to do, so I told her to stay that I thought I could make out without her on the trip and that I would not have to be alt the time answering questions for like most of her kind she ca j ask more questions than l. man can answer. Sa I : made the trip with the boys and had a big time. Say editor did you ever see : so many porters from one hotel as met ns at the depot in Jamesville ? I jut had a hugo time went to church in the morning but had to leave the house and give some pretty girl my room, then I went' arOuud to a window thinking I might hear part of the sermon but imagine my astonishment when I got to that windbw. and. saw our Plymouth boys, that bad taken gir.s up with them, coming out like bats, uo doubt the people of that town thought our boys were afraid of the church for tho way they came out of that window was a sight. When yon get in my poem this letter is long enough so I will close. , , THE OLD TOWN COWS.

We to day find It our solemn dutv to chronicle the death of another or Washing ton county's most beloved and prosperous citizens. In making his Way from earth to heaven, the guardian anel that ' had . been watchiug by the bed-side of our dear friend for several weeks, thought proper to take with him the spirit of Mr. Julius IL Howell, on the 28th of March, leaving his lifeless body surrounded by kind and loving friends. . The deceased leaves a wife aod one child and a host of friends to mourn his untimely departure, but we find sweet relief in know, ing that, though be has been taken from ns, yet, onr loss is his eternal gain We min eie onr sorrows with those of bis many friends, and to his bereaved family we ex tend our taost heartfelt sympathies. As a husband, he was kind, loving and true ; as a father he was affectionate and forgiving; an a friend (ah. who knows better What the word friend here means than the writer) he was kind, generous, and as true to those he called friends, a uteel. We have only known the deceased for six years, but in that time, though short it may boem, he has proved to be to us a friend, and had he been nearer to us, we could not have taken the sad news of his death more at heart. In his death we may truly say we lose - one of oar staunchest friends. lie has not only been such a valuable friend to xu personally but no firmer friend could the Beacon boast than X. Y. Z.," which was none oiher than this noble man of whom we write, he was ever found ready to help make the paper an honor to his county, for which ,we will ever rememb r him kindly. A ns deceased was ii year of age, bad long- been a member of the Methodist Prot ista nt Church, to which he was devoted aud the rules of which he loved as . ouly Christians can. ' : Mr. Howell was last year elected to the office of Mayor of Creswell, which office be has filled with credit ; he was also a mem ber of the Board of Education of the comity, and he always seemed to take much interest in the educational advancement of our pei ple. His every effort in public as well as private life seemed to be for the betteiment of bis fellow man. .. . This good man from ns is gone forever, his lifelttt-s remains have been laid within the tomb aud covered by the cold sod, there to remain until the Great Day, all that is left of this noble character is memory. Hit. earthly career has euded, his sufferings are all over aud be. is now with the. angels in that high home prepared for the righteous. And as Christ came and "hath abolished death' we will thiak of him in the inspired language and say : "He is not dead but sleepeth." THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY -- LINE. fc The boundary line bst ween the United States and Canada is not 'imaginary," as most people suppose. The line is distinctly marked from Lake Michigan .o Alaska by cairns, iron pillars, earth mouud, and tim ber clearings. There are 383 of these marks between the Lake of the Woods and the base' of the Rocky Mountains. The British placed one pott every two miles and the United State) ene between each British post. ' These post are of cast iron, and cast on their faces are the words, ' Con vention of London, October 20th, 1818." Where the line crosses lakes, mountains of stone1) have been built projecting eii;bt feet above hula water mark. In forests the line is defined by felling trees for a space a rod wide. Ex. JURY LIST.
