Wood at tbe Wright House, Alma,
Tuesday evening of this week. The
banquet was given by tbe republicans
of Gratiot county. Our citizens will
be glad to learn tbat our esteemed
townsman, Hon. D. E. Alwaid, was
present and responded in his chafrac-
terlstic able manner to tbe toast, The
Eepublican party. Prof. A. Wescbe's
orchestra of Sb, Louis were present
and the program was interspersed with
excellent music.
Vacation rightly used adds length
of days and long life.- Don't rest too
hard. Don't study too much. A
change of scene, a change from tbe
ordinary mode of life, sets tbe currents ebbing and flowing in new channels. Swing in a hammock, basque
in the sunshine, sniff cedar and balsam,
take plentiful doses of swimming,
fishing, boating, romping; read "Seats
of the Migbty,i' "David Harura,"
"Peter Stirling." Study some, think
some, meditate, eat aud sleep. Some
people think this is wasting time.
When will we learn that energy is as
great a factor in life as bime? The
same person can accomplish twice as
much when in good trim. Why nob
spread life over more years? We'll do
jusb as much good and bave lots more
fun. Eemember, -we pass this way
but once, and will be a long time
dead.—Michigan School Moderator.
A Bad Wreck.
About five o'clock Sunday afternoon
as a 40-car freight train was coming
south thru a deep cut about two miles
bhis side of Lake George on tbe Ann
Arbor railroad, a wreck occurred
which not only cost tbe company a
considerable sum of money, but retarded traffic on their line for some
thirty-six hours.
The heavy rains last week caused a
wash-out on the north ena of tbe cut
and wbile this was repairea the grouna
was so soft that the raid on one side
lowered. This caused tbe eighth car
of the train to jump the t'ack. It
bumped along over the ties but kept
on the road bed till the coupling gave
way-. The momentum was so great
thab six ears loaded with iron, lumber
and barley were derailed and throw
across the track rail fence-like and
wrecked so badly that nothing but tbe
running gear will be of use.
The wreck occurring between two
high banks, to lay a track around for
regular brafflc was impossible, so until
the debris couia be removed it was
necessary to tarnsfer.
As all the Ann Arbor coaches were
in use the company secured two belonging to the Grand Trunk line which
were brought up with the wrecker
and to these coaches were transferred
tbe Frankfort excursionists, many of
whom hearing of the disaster bad prepared to walk bome. Trains are now
running regularly ana on time.
Watch the "Wan;
them over now.

The great yankee play, "Old Uucle
Jed" is by far tbe besb of any rural comedy. The reason for this is the many
true to life situations which abound
thruout the play, the many eccentricities so common to the yankee, and the
clean and wholesome atmosphere surrounding the character and plot, and
the many startling climaxes. In con-
juncbion with all these tbe mana-te-
merit bave secured tbe largest number
of solo musicians ever carried by an
amusement enterprise, and the result
is a musical feast long to be remembered. Old Uncle Jed and the entire play
is tbe laugh provoker of the present
season and to miss ib is one pleasure of
life lost forever. The company numbers 25 people and come bo the Opera
', House Saturday evening July 15.

There is possibly no performance so
well liked by tbe public at large as a
rural comedy—at least statistics show
tbis to be a fact. There is a certain
air of homelike comfort surrounding
the play and charaters tbat call to our
minds tbe people of long ago where we
either lived or visited on the farccu. In
"Old Uncle Jed" the author has re-
taineaall the quaint country surround-
ing,ana enlivened the story with funny
situations, music, dancing and hfgh-
class specialties. This is a show for
your wife, your sister or your" sweetheart. There is not-a .word thafc-
could offend tbe most fastidious, Eemember the farmer band parade.
