OraRttter of Grant township saw
the old century out with the loss of a
splendid milch cow and just as the
dawn of the twentieth century appeared, he got his left thumb too near
the cogs of a cutting box and Dr. San-
ford was obliged to remove the injured
member just above the first joint.
James Duncan this week sold to
.David Smalley of Sheridan a fine 8-
months-old short horned Durham bull,
which is one of the'finest beasts in
Sheridan township. Farmers are generally improving stock, as they have
found by experience that good atocK
pays even though the cost at the onset
is considerable.
The Union Life Guards had a class
of eight recruits for initiation Monday
night as a starter for the new century.
They also had installation of officers,
followed by a general camp feast, prepared by Captain A. E. LaPierre, of
O. Van Brunt's. Some needed ''military training" waB giyen the new recruits, who promised not to do so
again. The fancy dancing by the
Utley twins was a lively number.
C. W. Perry gave a lecture in the
Congregational church Sunday evening to a house full of interested listeners. His subject was the churches of
Europe, many of which he visited in
Scotland, England, France, Germany,
Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy,
and this talk was highly interesting,

trip abroad at the opera house, January 29, at which a large attendance
will doubtless be present. This is secured by the lecture course managers,
and to which an admission Of twenty-
five cents will be charged.

vllle church Monday, Rev. J. E. Mofflt
officiating, and the remains interred

Lieut. Governor Robinson lias announced the senate committees, and
Senator Doherty has been placed on
several, but the one ot especial impor.
tance is finance and appropriations.
He is chairman of the committee on
rules and joint rules, also chairman of
the committee on supplies and expenses. We feel assured that with A. T.
in the senate the 28th will be well
looked after.
For several years a highway money
debt claimed to have been owed the
county by several of the northern
townships has remained unsettled,
until last week when at the recent
meeting bt the board of supervisors a
resolution was passed which cancelled
all such indebtedness of the various
townships to the county prior to 1898,
The action of the board which wasf almost unanimous—two voting against
it—will doubtless Settle the matter,
whether it is a just way to dispose of
it or not.
L. M. Converse this week received
from Colon O. Lillie of Ooopersville,
who is one of the editors of the American Farmer, a fine thoroughbred
Ohio improved Chester sow, and
already having some excellent swine,
he will in the future deal quite extensively in throughbred hogs. Lucius
this week closed a deal by which he
came In possession of the forty acre-
farm just south of his eighty, formerly
owned by Frank Falk, so he now- has-
120 acres of the Dest land in Isabella
county and it seems to us if there's a-

to make money, Converse is on© o®
them. ' >,
