County Association Formed.
,The - O. E. S. orders of Jackson
county, met in Jackson last" week
Tuesday and formed <a county .association^" comprising* the chapters of
Jackson, Grass Lake, Brooklyn,
Springport, Horton, Pleasant Lake,
Liberty, Concord and Parma, The
State Worthy Matron, Mrs. Emma
Ocobock of Hartford, was present and
took an active part in the work. As
the day was the seventeenth anniversary of one of the Dackson chapters,, a
splendid banquet w?as enjoyed after the
organization was affected. Bssides
the State Worthy Matron there were
present of the honored guests Grand
Secretary Mrs. A. Augusta Matteson
of Middleville, Grand Ruth Miss Mary
L. Dean of Albion, and Grand Esther
Mrs. Helen "VaoValen of Parma. The
chapters of Washtenaw comity as a
whole could make no wiser move than
to affect a similar organization. It
would be the means of making the
work more uniform and the different
chapters belter acquainted.
Seriously Gored.
J. W. Preston,-a farmer two miles
north of Ypsilanti, came near being
gored to death by an angry bull Sunday. Leading the animal out of the
barn iu the presence of two male companions, Mr. Preston was about to return him when the bull turned upon
him, bore him to the ground and was
about to toss him in the air when the
injurei man seized the ring ih the
animal's nose, and succeeded in keeping him off his body, but not, hovv^
ever, until the bull had raised him to
his feet and again thrown him to the
ground four times. The companions,
armed with pitch forks, succeeded in
driving* the animal away and roped
him into the barn. Mr. Preston escaped fatal injuries.—Ex.
Who'd Have Thought?
At the recent village election in
Wayne it was voted to bond the village for 55(000 for public improvements. The "improvement" will be
extended in purchasing a site and
building for the Seestedt bathtub
factory, which guarantees to employ
30 men the first year. Now, who
would have thought Wayne would get
a hustle On itself to that extent? And
will Plymouth continue in its inertness toward public improvements and
benefits?—Plymouth Mail.

Earnest Appeal
For Aged Women.
In the name of forty, lonely, infirm
and dependent old ladies of Washtenaw county, I make this appeal to you,
and to you, and to you.
You who have pleasant surroundings consider in mercy these 'helpless
charges, and aid us in the provision of
a home for them.
Consider especially the many wage-
earners in sdhool and shop, ofiice and
store, who are fast approaching this
period of life, and who through no
fault of their own, have been unable
to make suitable provision for it.
In the.se days of many spinsters and
low rates of interest.we are facing a
very different state of affairs from
those which confronted our fathers
and mothers.
There qre. to^ay abpqt one million
widow and Spingtprs in this country,
upwards Qf- sixty-fi?e ye^rs o£ age.
Possibly when we can get this condition of affairs before our benevolent
multimillionaiues, through the press
[we cannot reach tnem by letter],
they will relieve this pressing necessity'by building" and ondov\inga series
of old ladies' homes. In the meantime, the care of our helpless people
lies at your door and" mine.
Reuben Kempf offers to give $500,
if we secure S20,000 within two years.
Are there not boys all over this country who still cherish tender memories
for "Old Ann Arbor" who will contribute something?
Is there not someone in $b.i«. cota-
munlty or elsewhere, vfho will give
us 510,000 to name this institution in
the memory of some beloved daughter,
mother or wife.
We are incorporated, and have
about §4,000 in ffloney and pledges.
The home will be non-sectarian, but
under Christian administration. All
questions will ba cheerfully answered,
or funds received, by Mrs."' Philip

Binder Twine
T-OOK at the tag on your twine and be sure that the
A** "Plymouth trade mark is on every tag.
TT means you will get twine made in the oldest .and
■ largest independent mill wortd; twine that
NEVER fails to give satisfaction, being full length,
full strength; evenly spun and well balled,
DON'T be deceived by parties offering twine claimed
to be "Just as good as Plymouth"
SOME" farmers lose hours* in the harvest field when
minutes count,    -
AAD condemn a binder that would work all right if
they used Plymouth Twine. ,
YOU  know by experience that poor twine, though
purchased at a low price is'an expensive article.
BECAUSE such twine is often short length, and so
uneven it breaks when tying the bundles.
REMEMBER  eyery ball of twine haying Plymouth
trade mark and name of Lindsay Bros.
ON the tag is exactly as represented.    Do not wait
until harvest time; order now, because
SOMETIMES the demand for Plymouth Twine is beyond our ability to supply.

Retail Jewelers are not afraid
of the Mail Order houses* and we are oven bases of competition.
There is no offer made by them that we cannot equal. Indeed it is an oft-
repeated claim—one that has never been disproved—that we can sell a better-
article of jewelry than any mail order house for as little or less money. That
is why-we are so anxious to have those who make a-practice of pnrchasing by
mail give' our claims a test. If we could not make good, we would not be saying a word about it, but the loss js yours, as well as ours, hence our.earnestnes s
about the matter. -
