There is somebhing exceedingly
amusing in bhe life of a newspaper
man, if down beneabh bhe surface of

humorous side of his frebful existence,
'here is hardly  a man wibhoub  a
ie Vance which he wants aired in the
paper. He would not sign his name
to it for ten dollars a line, yeb he expects the edibor bo compose bhe article,
set it up, print it and stand all the
responsibiliby for nothing.

Traffic ou the F, & P. M. was again
greatly hindered last Saturday. Not
on account of a blizzard this time, but
all because two freights tried to pass
each other on the same track. The
accident happened just beyond Evart
So\ one injured, hut several of the
freight cars were demolished, and the
engines are now in the "bone yard" of
the company's shops and will in all
probability remain there for the win-
_-$> This reducing of the "pulling"
stock of the road at this time will he
serverly felt, as every engine that can
be obtained is needed for the present
freight business.
lt is strange that the parents of the
half-grown boys of the town cannot
see that these same boys are being defrauded out of wbat is really their
right, by being allowed to give up
school. Some day the men of the
coming generation will discover the
truth of this, but it will be too late
then! One father declares that his
boy has already more education thau
he got when he was a hoy, and that
there is no use of his wasting any more
time ab school. This hoy mighb make
bobh a bebber and wiser man bhan his
fabher and bhe world be none bhe
wiser.
A peculiar story is bold aboub a piece
of land near Habton. After the best
pine had been cub bhe owner sold bhe
"bolblog" privilege to a man who cut
several carloads of shingle bolts from
the stumps, and transferred theprivil-
ege to another man, and this plan
was followed lintil 13 different men
had "bolted," the prices being never
less than $25 and ofben $70 to $100.
l_acl_ man who bolted the land made
money, but some ill-fortune has come
to nearly eyery one of the 13 men.
One lost an only daughter, another a
wife, another was accused of counterfeiting, another:bad a fight with a
neighbor and was nearly killed, another ran away from his family, another lost two or three cars of bolts
and so it went. The bolts held out
till the thirteenth man finished the
work.
On Monday, Attorneys Peet of Ithaca and Whitney of Sb. Louis, togebti-
er wibh O. W. Perry of Clare, repre
senbing bhe Ann Arbor R'y Co., were
here looking inbo the matter of the
bonds of Grant and Surrey twps. which
were given several years ago, the ob-
jecb being to show that said bonds are
null and void. The attorneys for the
company are showing that the bonds
are invalid for the reason thab Chas.
Ashley, as an heir, is suing the Ann
Arbor Co. for damages and claims as
part of the damages the bonds mentioned. The town records were brought
here by Clerk A. D. Johnson of Grant
■Dep. Clerk H. M. Roys of Surrey. Circuit Judge Dodds. and County Cleric
Morrissey were also present inthe matter. The bonds are invalid and residents of tho townships need have no
cause for worry.
