made every one of these moves along |
the line of the greatest profit. The
newspapers are prosperous, fine
school bouses are replacing old, and
smaller ones. Thousands of farnaere
wbo used to be in debt now bave cash
in banks, that did not exist live years
ago. Tbe people are cheerful and
tbey look at lite from a new angle.
The sonth haa worked ont tbe fundamental taaka whicb all tbe world may
profit by: (1) How to teach tbe
farmer, who is now on the land, to
donble bia cropa; (2) How to teach
tbe boys and girls practical trades,
while they are getting their education;
(3) How to govern Cities without
politics and without graft. Most of
tbe old notions about the South and
the Sonthem people, tbat have been
held in the North, must now be
revised: for every day events contradict tbe conclusions tbat were
drawn from facts of tbe past. Most
of tbe old notions, lisewise, about tbe
South and the Southern people tbat
were formerly held by the Southern
people themselves, must now be
revised; for every day events contradict tbe conclusions that tbey also
drew from tbe facts of the past.
New economic forces are at work.
It is tbesecbanges tbat are explained
and emphasized in this number of
"Tbe Worlds Work", because tbere
is nothing in our contemporaneous
life more interesting or more important than tbis rise of tbe people in
tbese States, eager to tbe task of
their own development and of tbe
development of this ricbeet region of
the Union. Tbis work bas now been
begun with finch vigor that it will go
on indefinitely; for natural forces
have come into play and tbe land of j
"problems" baa become a land of
progress.

Wben we published wbat we did
in reference to the inqneat beld npon

did not do it'for the purpose of any
controversy and certainly we 8np. I the matter
poeed we were certain ot our facts. I
We sbali never knowingly misquote
anyone nor state rumors as facts.
When we heard the earnest way in
wbicb severalofthesejororsexpressed
their conviction tbat this man came
to bis death by foul play and tbeir
earnest desire tbat tbe matter be
probed to tbe bottom, we felt something more should be done.
So far as tbe board of supervisors
appears in the case, when the statement was published that it had "advised" against any further action, we
hastened to examine the record of its
proceedings, and there was no intimation of any action whatever. Soon
after one of the members entered tbe
office and himself opened the subject
by expressing bis surprise, saying
tbat the matter was cot before tbe
board at all. We tben called up the
chairman of the board and apparently he misunderstood ue or we misunderstood him. Tbe whole burden
waa about some "pauper" and not
tbe dead body tbat was interesting
ns. Now it seems tbere was some
informal talk by some of the members, something that in no sense
could be characterized as any action
by tbe board.
We believe jnst as strongly ae ever
that thia matter should bave been |
probed and that the analysis the jurors
called for could have been bad
for fifty dollars. Tbe faet that tbe
identity of tbe man had not been dis
covered bad nothing to do with the
matter. We should be aa much interested in knowing whether a
stranger bas met with foal play ae we
should one of onr own citizens. Furthermore we lusiat tbat nndcr tbe

Times wili interest many in Greenwood where the bride formerly lived:
"A very pretty home wedding took
place at the home of Mr. and Mrs,
Wm. Pickup, four miles northwest of
Pittffield, 111., at 4:30 o'clock Easter
Sunday when Miss Reva Jacobs of
Lake George, Micb., and Lovel Tip-
pett of Bluffs, 111., were joined in
wedlock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. R. Leslie.
Tbe house was decorated in pink
and white. The bridal party stood
beneath an arch cf pink and wbite
festoons. The couple was attended
by Mrs. Emma Pickup, sister of the
groom, and her husband, Wm.
Pickup.
A beautiful bouquet of wild flowers
were the only flowers used, they being the preference of the bride.
The bride looked very charming In
a gown of sheer white embroidery
witb a large satin girdle. Tbe bridesmaid was daintily gowned in a very
pretty white voile. Both bridegroom
and best man were dressed in suits
cf dark bine.
Dainty refreshments consisting of
ice cream, cake and mints were
served directly after the ceremony,
and were enjoyed by all.

And Plans Laid For Next Year's
Work.
The study club met on Tuesday at
tbe bome of Mrs. A. J. Doherty with
a fair number of the members present. There waa no formal program
for this meeting, the election of officers for the ensuing year being the
chief purpose of the meeting. Mrs.
E. H. Waller, who has served so
acceptably as president the present
year was re-eiected, Mrs. Winnie
Jackson was chosen as vice president, Mrs. Grover Pierce as secretary and Mrs. A. J. Doherty treasurer.
Mrs. J. J. Hornberger, Mrs. E. A.
Anderson, Mrs. Frank Lamoreaux,
and Mrs. A. J. Doherty were appointed as a committee on program
of work for next year. There was
considerable discussion as to what
that work should be and a seeming
concensus of opinion that it should
partake more of a miscellaneous
character tban has the present year's
work.
In the near future there is to be
held a "Club Day" wben the members will picnic at Stevenson lake.
movement. The idea that it is no
concern of the rural townships
whether the towns have saloons or
j not is absurd. What would the
towns amount to without the support of the people round about?
How valuable prohibition would be
to the township of Vernon with a
sajoon in tbe first ward in Clare.
The dry forces are enaugurating a
movement to make the whole state
dry. If, when the vote is taken next
November, the proposed amendment
fails to carry, matter are lett exactly
as they are now. Counties tbat now
are dry remain so. Tbe object of
this movement on tbe part of tbe
wet forces is to confuse tbe issue as
they did in Ohio by bringing both
questions before the people at the
same time. Tbe question they propose would be overwhelmingly
buried tbe moment the people came
to understand it, bot it would probably also lose the amendment thousands of votes because in the one case
tbe vote should be a negative one
and in tbe otber an affirmative.
Later —Tbe next day after tbe
above was in type, we learned tbat
one or more petitions were being
circulated in this city and we received
a call from Mr. Millicgton who ie
seeRiog newspaper space to explain
tbe beauties of "Home Rule," We
suppose this is the same Milllngton
who was recently making wet
speeches. We trust it is not necessary for us to tell tbe readers of the
Sentinel tbat its columns are not for
sale to advance the interests of whiskey, directly or indirectly.
We do not know how many
"Suckere" were caught here by tbie
dodge, but people need only to notice
who is behind tbe scheme to size it

During the paf-t week meetings ha ve been held in the townships of Winter- field, ''rreenwood, hlncoln, Arthur, Sheridan, in Harrison and Farweil, also th^s city.

Wben we published wbat we did in reference to the inqneat beld npon tbe body found In the river bere, we did not do it'for the purpose of any controversy and certainly we 8np. I the matter poeed we were certain ot our facts. I We sbali never knowingly misquote anyone nor state rumors as facts. When we heard the earnest way in wbicb severalofthesejororsexpressed their conviction tbat this man came to bis death by foul play and tbeir earnest desire tbat tbe matter be probed to tbe bottom, we felt something more should be done. So far as tbe board of supervisors appears in the case, when the statement was published that it had "advised" against any further action, we hastened to examine the record of its proceedings, and there was no intimation of any action whatever. Soon after one of the members entered tbe office and himself opened the subject by expressing bis surprise, saying tbat the matter was cot before tbe board at all. We tben called up the chairman of the board and apparently he misunderstood ue or we misunderstood him. Tbe whole burden waa about some "pauper" and not tbe dead body tbat was interesting ns. Now it seems tbere was some informal talk by some of the members, something that in no sense could be characterized as any action by tbe board. We believe jnst as strongly ae ever that thia matter should bave been probed and that the analysis the jurors called for could have been bad for fifty dollars. Tbe faet that tbe identity of tbe man had not been dis covered bad nothing to do with the matter. We should be aa much interested in knowing whether a stranger bas met with foal play ae we should one of onr own citizens. Furthermore we lusiat tbat nndcr tbe circumstances tbia inquest wonld be a state cberga, not a county At the regular meeting of the Common Council Monday evening, Mayor Ward made bis appointments to city offices, ail being confirmed.

The term "home rule" is very inviting and one nicely adopted to deceiving theunwary.

In the marriage of Mamie Elizabeth, i special cases, as in large cities like Detroit or Grand Rapids, it might be well in addition to allow a ward option, thus shutting saloons out of residence wards where tbe voters would overwhelmingly so vote.

Times wili interest many in Greenwood where the bride formerly lived: "A very pretty home wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Pickup, four miles northwest of Pittffield, 111., at 4:30 o'clock Easter Sunday when Miss Reva Jacobs of Lake George, Micb., and Lovel Tip- pett of Bluffs, 111., were joined in wedlock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. R. Leslie. Tbe house was decorated in pink and white. The bridal party stood beneath an arch cf pink and wbite festoons. The couple was attended by Mrs. Emma Pickup, sister of the groom, and her husband, Wm. Pickup. A beautiful bouquet of wild flowers were the only flowers used, they being the preference of the bride. The bride looked very charming In a gown of sheer white embroidery witb a large satin girdle. Tbe bridesmaid was daintily gowned in a very pretty white voile. Both bridegroom and best man were dressed in suits cf dark bine. Dainty refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake and mints were served directly after the ceremony, and were enjoyed by all.

Tbey will reside on on the Brnnni farm in Gladwin Co. Tbe community extends heartiest congratulations. STUDY CLUB Met On Tuesday At Home Of Mrs. A. J. Doherty officerTelected And Plans Laid For Next Year's Work. The study club met on Tuesday at tbe bome of Mrs. A. J. Doherty with a fair number of the members present. There waa no formal program for this meeting, the election of officers for the ensuing year being the chief purpose of the meeting. Mrs. E. H. Waller, who has served so acceptably as president the present year was re-eiected, Mrs. Winnie Jackson was chosen as vice president, Mrs. Grover Pierce as secretary and Mrs. A. J. Doherty treasurer. Mrs. J. J. Hornberger, Mrs. E. A. Anderson, Mrs. Frank Lamoreaux, and Mrs. A. J. Doherty were appointed as a committee on program of work for next year. There was considerable discussion as to what that work should be and a seeming concensus of opinion that it should partake more of a miscellaneous character tban has the present year's work. In the near future there is to be held a "Club Day" wben the members will picnic at Stevenson lake. movement. The idea that it is no concern of the rural townships whether the towns have saloons or j not is absurd. What would the towns amount to without the support of the people round about? How valuable prohibition would be to the township of Vernon with a sajoon in tbe first ward in Clare. The dry forces are enaugurating a movement to make the whole state dry. If, when the vote is taken next November, the proposed amendment fails to carry, matter are lett exactly as they are now. Counties tbat now are dry remain so. Tbe object of this movement on tbe part of tbe wet forces is to confuse tbe issue as they did in Ohio by bringing both questions before the people at the same time. Tbe question they propose would be overwhelmingly buried tbe moment the people came to understand it, bot it would probably also lose the amendment thousands of votes because in the one case tbe vote should be a negative one and in tbe otber an affirmative. Later —Tbe next day after tbe above was in type, we learned tbat one or more petitions were being circulated in this city and we received a call from Mr. Millicgton who ie seeRiog newspaper space to explain tbe beauties of "Home Rule" We suppose this is the same Milllngton who was recently making wet speeches. We trust it is not necessary for us to tell tbe readers of the Sentinel tbat its columns are not for sale to advance the interests of whiskey, directly or indirectly. We do not know how many "Suckere" were caught here by tbie dodge, but people need only to notice who is behind tbe scheme to size it up correctly. NEW PRODUCE FIRMS. Why Not?
