DRY VICTORY
AD Along The line. Clare And Baraga
Join Dry Colnran. Now Let Us
Make Whole State Dry.

REPUBLICANS
Have Good Majorities In
And Townships.
City
While the result on Mondav was
not all we might have hoped, still it
should give every friend of the
temperance cause great confidence
for tbe coming statewide tight. Two
wet counties are turned dry aod ail
dry counties held by increased majorities. Ingham rolisup the immense
majority of 2415 and Wexford from a
poor little 10 two years ago to 600
now. No vote has been taken before
in Manistee or Delta so tbeie is no
basis fur comparison, but in other
counties that remain wet the majority
is reduced, thus showing the tn^nd of
public sentiment.
For tbe result in tbis county we
are unspeakably thankful. We have
never bad the slightest doubt of the
result if only voters turned out. Two
wards of this city and the townships
of Hayes Garfield and Redding give
small wet majorities, all the rest are
dry. Surrey is again the banner dry-
precinct and oi coarse Redding with
its saloon stands at the other end.
Next week we shall have something
to say concerning several phases of
tbis matter. The people of the
connty are under obligations to
Messrs Marvin and Cope, tbe campaign managers and to many local
workers who ably assisted. Pres.
Davy and Sec. Reading burned many
gallons of gasoline and the latter
especially did an immence amount of
detail work. Last bot not least, the
Womens Christian Temperance Union
I rendered much effective aid.
i
Tbe following is the vote by
| precincts, save the city of Harrison.
! Majorities only are given as we have
I not the cotal vots.

The results of the election Monday
both in the city and county were
mucb according to prediction, except
as to the size of majorities.
The gas proposition carried by 359
to 63 in This city, and tbe townships
of Vernon Isabella, and Union were
heavily for it, so work will De started
in the certr future to pipe from Mt.
Pleasant here.
Ward was reelected mayor by a
majority Of 107, while the republican
clerk and treasurer were returned.
The Strong tight made by Edw. B.
Wbite cut down the majority for
clerk to a meager 6. Following is
the vote for tbe city ticket:
Congressman Loud Will Send
Seeds Only To Applicants.
Congressman Loud tbis year will
not follow the old custom of sending
out seeds indiscriminately. He intends tbat ail packages of seeds sent
out by bim shall go into the ground,
and to this end he is sending postal
cardB to all the registered voters Of
bis district asking tbem to indicate
whether they can use seeds. If they
fail to answer they will receive nooe.
"1 do not intend to follow the old,
wasteful aud idiotic method of the
past, and send to everyone promiscuously,'' said Mr. Loud. The
seeds are valuable if a man makes a
little garden in the spring, otherwise
they are useless. I will follow the
same method in tbe distribution of
farmers' bulletins and other government publications."

members and 4 democrat, while Isabella Co. reports the proportion 18 to
4.
Surrey Twp. elected Mott for supervisor but the balance Rep. ticket.
In Garfield, Tryon, democrat, was
successful over Maltby 62 to 41, tbe
balance being Rep. also. Grant twp.

Nicholas F. Geeck.
It ia with the deepest regret tbat
1 we are called upon to chronicle the
; untimely death of Mr. Geeck on Thursday, Mar. 30, while only yet in the
| prime of life.
Mr. Geeck waa born at Erie.Penn ,
I Apr. 2S, 1859. When he was five
I years old, his parents came to this
| state, making the trip in the regulation covered wagon of the mover,
settling in Shiawasee Co. which was
to be his bome tor many years. Here
in 1883 he was united in marriage to
Miss Bertha Taphouse. One child
was tbe fruit of this union, tbe son,
Clarence, wbo for some time has been
associated with the father bere in
business. Tbe wife dying, in 1892 he
was married to Mise Louise Pfeiffer
of Louisville, Ky. To this union one
son, Edward, was born.
Mr. Geeck resided for many years
; at Owosso, engaging iutheerection of
I snany buildings in that city and
! vicinity. In 1904 he came to this
! city and with his brother, Philip, en-
! gaged m the lumber and coal business
j wbich he later conducted alone. The
j business has grown to large proportions and is one of the most import-
! ant industries of this city.
Mr. Geeck had been in poor health
j for some time and was an easy vic-
jtim. The cause of death waa
! bronchial pneumonia and diphtheria,
! tbe latter apparently developing
i without infection. A private funeral
j was held at the houae on Saturday
• and a memorial service wiil be beld
jlater.
Besides the wife and two eons, Mr.
Geeck leaves six brothera and many
other relativea and a boat of
friends. He was a modest, un-
' assuming man, and his home was hia
heaven. He was a good citizen and
tbe death of such a man ia always a
distinct loss to the community.
THE SUNNY_S01)TH
[Wasted By War But Rising
Again A New South.
i The Study club held a very inter-
! esti.jg meeting with Mrs. Benner on
i Tuesday afternoon. The subject for
j study and discussion was the South,
a section probaPly less familiar to
roost of the members than any other
part of the country.
On roll call each member mentioned some famous character or
characters, of that section or gave
minerals found there. After two selections on the Victrola which were
much enjoyed by ail, Mra. Anderson
read a paper on "Progress of the
South as compared with other sections of tbe United States." Tbis
was discussed quite fully, many interesting Jtbings being brought out.
Mrs. A. J. Doherty, who has just returned from Mississippi, has seen
mucb of the South aud could speuk
from personal observation.
Mrs. Benner then read a paper on
"Agriculture and Mining ia tbe
South." Tbi3 also was fully discussed.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Roe on April 18.

I read the accounts of tbose times, I
imagine my ancestors, with their tall
peaked hats and wbite collars of
tboee time, looking on, or perhaps
taking part in the Boston Tea Party
acd meeting witb the other Puritans
in Faneuil Hall. One of nay grandfathers was a corporal in tbo
Revolutionary war. So yoa can
readily understand wby I am so
pleased witb my subject. In studying tbe history of Boston I bave
taken only authentic and reliable
authority. I read three very interesting books from our state library.
One, Walks and Rides in tbe country
Round about Boston; another
Historic Towns, Boston by Henry
Cabot Lodge, himself a noted native
of Boston and senator from Mass:
2 i a biographical history written in an
2 i interesting manner called 8t. Botoipb'e
-A Town, by Mary Caroline Crawteni,
2' an account of Old Boston ia colonial
7 | times. Mrs. Kirkbride who is always
2 so kind to lend ns material, loaned
71 me a book whicb described ths
3 ; characterof thetown very beautifully.
2 I Mrs. Jackson very obligingly looked
5 ! up references in a library in Detroit
4 j to help me. Henry Cabot Lodge in
2 ' his history of Boston says that pro-
2 , babiy the first Europeans that gased
2 upon tbe harbor at Boston were tbe
Norsemen journeying south from Iceland. There are several old land mark:
in tbeauburbsof Boston, ocean ancient
ampitheatre supposed to bave been,
built by the Norsemen, and at Newton,
a suburb, is a town called by Prof.
Horwford "Norumbega," built te
commemorate tbe Norseman relics in>
Massachusetts. The name Nornmbega
was aaid to be the Indiana pronunciation of Norway to wbicb Yinland
tbe region cf tbe Norsemen was
subject. And it is supposed that Leit
Ericsson one tbe Viking chiefs
suffered death at tbe band* of tbe
natives near Boston Harbor, wben he
explored that harbor abont tbe time
of the Crusades. A noble bronze
statue of this chieftain adorns
Commonwealth Avenue in Boston.
Centm ies elapsed after the period of
the Norse adventurers, and tben the
Cabots ran down the coast and laid
the foundation of the title to tbe
largest territory ever conquered and
held by tbe English speaking race.
After tbis came Capt. John Smith,
the hero of many adventures, and

Wins Easily. Gas Carries Six To One. REPUBLICANS Have Good Majorities In And Townships. City While the result on Mondav was not all we might have hoped, still it should give every friend of the temperance cause great confidence for tbe coming statewide tight. Two wet counties are turned dry aod ail dry counties held by increased majorities. Ingham rolisup the immense majority of 2415 and Wexford from a poor little 10 two years ago to 600 now. No vote has been taken before in Manistee or Delta so tbeie is no basis fur comparison, but in other counties that remain wet the majority is reduced, thus showing the tn^nd of public sentiment. For tbe result in tbis county we are unspeakably thankful. We have never bad the slightest doubt of the result if only voters turned out. Two wards of this city and the townships of Hayes Garfield and Redding give small wet majorities, all the rest are dry. Surrey is again the banner dry- precinct and oi coarse Redding with its saloon stands at the other end. Next week we shall have something to say concerning several phases of tbis matter. The people of the connty are under obligations to Messrs Marvin and Cope, tbe campaign managers and to many local workers who ably assisted. Pres. Davy and Sec. Reading burned many gallons of gasoline and the latter especially did an immence amount of detail work. Last bot not least, the Womens Christian Temperance Union I rendered much effective aid. i Tbe following is the vote by precincts, save the city of Harrison. ! Majorities only are given as we have I not the cotal vots.

The gas proposition carried by 359 to 63 in This city, and tbe townships of Vernon Isabella, and Union were heavily for it, so work will De started in the certr future to pipe from Mt. Pleasant here. Ward was reelected mayor by a majority Of 107, while the republican clerk and treasurer were returned. The Strong tight made by Edw. B. Wbite cut down the majority for clerk to a meager 6. Following is the vote for tbe city ticket: Congressman Loud Will Send Seeds Only To Applicants. Congressman Loud tbis year will not follow the old custom of sending out seeds indiscriminately. He intends tbat ail packages of seeds sent out by bim shall go into the ground, and to this end he is sending postal cardB to all the registered voters Of bis district asking tbem to indicate whether they can use seeds. If they fail to answer they will receive nooe. "1 do not intend to follow the old, wasteful aud idiotic method of the past, and send to everyone promiscuously,'' said Mr. Loud. The seeds are valuable if a man makes a little garden in the spring, otherwise they are useless. I will follow the same method in tbe distribution of farmers' bulletins and other government publications."

It ia with the deepest regret tbat 1 we are called upon to chronicle the ; untimely death of Mr. Geeck on Thursday, Mar. 30, while only yet in the prime of life. Mr. Geeck waa born at Erie.Penn , I Apr. 2S, 1859. When he was five I years old, his parents came to this state, making the trip in the regulation covered wagon of the mover, settling in Shiawasee Co. which was to be his bome tor many years. Here in 1883 he was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Taphouse. One child was tbe fruit of this union, tbe son, Clarence, wbo for some time has been associated with the father bere in business. Tbe wife dying, in 1892 he was married to Mise Louise Pfeiffer of Louisville, Ky. To this union one son, Edward, was born. Mr. Geeck resided for many years ; at Owosso, engaging iutheerection of I snany buildings in that city and ! vicinity. In 1904 he came to this ! city and with his brother, Philip, en- ! gaged m the lumber and coal business j wbich he later conducted alone. The j business has grown to large proportions and is one of the most import- ! ant industries of this city. Mr. Geeck had been in poor health j for some time and was an easy vic- jtim. The cause of death waa ! bronchial pneumonia and diphtheria, ! tbe latter apparently developing i without infection. A private funeral j was held at the houae on Saturday • and a memorial service wiil be beld jlater. Besides the wife and two eons, Mr. Geeck leaves six brothera and many other relativea and a boat of friends. He was a modest, un- ' assuming man, and his home was hia heaven. He was a good citizen and tbe death of such a man ia always a distinct loss to the community. THE SUNNY_S01)TH [Wasted By War But Rising Again A New South. i The Study club held a very inter- ! esti.jg meeting with Mrs. Benner on i Tuesday afternoon. The subject for j study and discussion was the South, a section probaPly less familiar to roost of the members than any other part of the country. On roll call each member mentioned some famous character or characters, of that section or gave minerals found there. After two selections on the Victrola which were much enjoyed by ail, Mra. Anderson read a paper on "Progress of the South as compared with other sections of tbe United States." Tbis was discussed quite fully, many interesting Jtbings being brought out. Mrs. A. J. Doherty, who has just returned from Mississippi, has seen mucb of the South aud could speuk from personal observation. Mrs. Benner then read a paper on "Agriculture and Mining ia tbe South." Tbi3 also was fully discussed. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Roe on April 18. Hampton Buys Roe Property And Will Enlarge. CITY 0FJB0ST0N Its Many Places Of Historic Interest.

One of nay grandfathers was a corporal in tbo Revolutionary war. So yoa can readily understand wby I am so pleased witb my subject. In studying tbe history of Boston I bave taken only authentic and reliable authority. I read three very interesting books from our state library. One, Walks and Rides in tbe country Round about Boston; another Historic Towns, Boston by Henry Cabot Lodge, himself a noted native of Boston and senator from Mass: 2 i a biographical history written in an 2 i interesting manner called 8t. Botoipb'e -A Town, by Mary Caroline Crawteni, 2' an account of Old Boston ia colonial 7 times. Mrs. Kirkbride who is always 2 so kind to lend ns material, loaned 71 me a book whicb described ths 3 ; characterof thetown very beautifully. 2 I Mrs. Jackson very obligingly looked 5 ! up references in a library in Detroit 4 j to help me. Henry Cabot Lodge in 2 ' his history of Boston says that pro- 2 , babiy the first Europeans that gased 2 upon tbe harbor at Boston were tbe Norsemen journeying south from Iceland. There are several old land mark: in tbeauburbsof Boston, ocean ancient ampitheatre supposed to bave been, built by the Norsemen, and at Newton, a suburb, is a town called by Prof. Horwford "Norumbega" built te commemorate tbe Norseman relics in> Massachusetts. The name Nornmbega was aaid to be the Indiana pronunciation of Norway to wbicb Yinland tbe region cf tbe Norsemen was subject. And it is supposed that Leit Ericsson one tbe Viking chiefs suffered death at tbe band* of tbe natives near Boston Harbor, wben he explored that harbor abont tbe time of the Crusades. A noble bronze statue of this chieftain adorns Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. Centm ies elapsed after the period of the Norse adventurers, and tben the Cabots ran down the coast and laid the foundation of the title to tbe largest territory ever conquered and held by tbe English speaking race. After tbis came Capt. John Smith, the hero of many adventures, and many books of his own writing, looked into Boaton Harbor and mu.de a map of it, then sailed away.
