^Judicial ©@*n¥©rtti©ti0
The Democratic and Greenback «oa-
ventions for * this, the twenty-first Judicial district, were held at Mt, Pleasaat
Tuesday.
The Democratic convention was callecl
to order by H. H. Graves. W. E, Barber, of Gladwin county, was- chosen
chairman, and H. L. Fairchilds of Midland county, secretary.
The committee on conference reported
in favor of a joint convention. The re*
portwas accepted and the Democrats and
Greenbackers met in joint convention.
Each county in the district had, or was
allowed, its full representation, and iifty-
six ballots were cast in joint convention.
After considerable ppvy-wow" a motiou
was carred in favor of a majority* rule pn
all questions brought to vote by the convention.
Mr. Sutherland, the democratic delegate from Clare county, asked the right
to cast the greenback vote of his county,
in-as-much as there were -no delegates
present. A Greenback "spokesman stated
that their convention- had-disposed of
that question and thrown .the vote out*

In the ancient days when

old Cato used to rise in his place in the
senate of liome, at the close of every resolution, every appropriation bill, every
speech and adjournment and cry put, UI
propose that Carthage be destroyed."

Mr. Sutherland was heartily cheered and it was decided to allow him to cast the greenback vote for Clatre county. The first ballott for candidate for the Circuit Judgeship resulted as follows: C. W.

The roll- ways.on Tobacco river, south of town, will be broken this week. There are over four million feet of pine in the south branch. J. L. Littlefield has a large stock of logs to be manufactured into lumber at his mill,-the coming summer, giving employment to 30 men. His cut is estimated at 2,500,000 feet. There were several reverend gentlemen in town last week attending the Congregational Conference and working hard for the prohibition amendment. Farwell people are jubilent over the railroad news. Too bad the Clare route has been abandoned. W. A. Carpenter & Son.will build a "brick block the coming summer. President Gallup assumes a great deal dignity already. E.

Vernon News. Vernon, March 16th 1887. There was a surprise party at the home of L. Wing on Tuesday evening. Every body had a good time. There was a taffy pull at J. O. Converses one night last week. There Will be an auction social at the home of Ed. Steams next Monday evening March 21st. There will be an auctioneer who will knock the young ladies down to the highest bidder. All are invited to attend. William McKay is on the sick list. Pretty good day's sawing, that for Clare countyites. Think we can beat it in Vernon. , "' ■ A* M.

Smith has something to say this week in a large, half-page advertisement on last page of this paper* Be sure and read, it. ■»»<— Carthage In the ancient days when still threatened the "Roman supremacy old Cato used to rise in his place in the senate of liome, at the close of every resolution, every appropriation bill, every speech and adjournment and cry put, UI propose that Carthage be destroyed." Day after day, month after month, year after year went by, until the walls of the capitol must have been almost saturated with Cato's words. At'jlast, however, Carthage was destroyed and the old man shut up. • Like Cato, year after year, William P.
