James Cramer, foreman at tbe Sentinel office, Went to St. Ignace Friday
morning. A lebcer from him states
thab he has purchased bhe Sb. Ignace
Enterprise and Wednesday Mrs.
Cramer , joined her husband. The
seven months Mr. and Mrs. Cramer
have been in our city has made them
many friends who unwillingly part
wibh them, if Jim does as well for
himself as he did for us, we predict
for him a successful newspaper career.
His position at the Sentinel office
w'11 be tilled by Mr. Ray M. Howe of
Hastings, and that the query, "Is he
married?" may be unnecessary, we say,
ladies, thab he is yet enjoying siDgle
blessedness.
Seeing Fred Weatherhead and Miss
Lulu Hughes behind the posbofflce window handliug the mails has caused
some speculation among bhose unac-
quainbed wibh the evenbs of bhe past
week. The visib of a posb office inspec-
bor lasb week brou^hb bo lighb bhe fact
bhab bhere was a shortage in the accounts of the posbmasber, and pending
bhe sebblemenb of the mabber, Mr.
Weabherhead was placed in charge in
bhe interest of the bondsmen. The
accounbs were gone carefully over in
order to find oub if the shortage could
be accounbed for by an error therein,
and a further investigation may prove
this to be a fact. Mr. Follett has done
all in his power fco save his bondsmen
from loss, and hopes bo make good the
whole amount of tbe shortage, for
which he Is unable fco account, unless
ib be thru some error in bhe accounbs.
—Harrison Cleaver. Monday Mr. Follett was placed under arrest, confined
in the county jail over night, and
Tuesday morning a deputy TJ. S. marshal escorted him to Bay City where
he will have a hearing before the TJ.
S. district court. The postoffice inspector says tbat tbe bondsmen were
nobifled bhab Mr. Follebt had nob
made his regular reports since along
in July, and the facb bhab these genblemen received no nobiflcation has
resulbed in suspecbing bhab the mails
at the Harrison office have beeD suppressed. If this be the case, it will
certainly result seriously, and Mr,
Follett will without doubt receive a
senbence ab Jackson as a resulb of his
misdemeanors.
Grace May Colson.
Afber a lingering illness, Grace May
Coison died abiereiiome in the ciby,
ab five o'clock yesberday morning,
Deceased.*had been in poor health for
more than a year, bub had been confined to her bed for about bwo months.
The cause of her death was a complication ot deseases, a form of Bright's
desease, valvular difficulby of the
heart and lung trouble.
Miss Colson was.borni-Ocbober 18,
1880, and Clare has been her home for
many years. Tho unwell much of bhe
bime, by her gentle modestness and
quiet., unassuming ways, Grace made
friends of all her acquaintances, who
join the Sentinel in expressions of
sympathy for the bereaved widowed
mother, two sisters and a brobher who
are left to mourn their loss.
