MONE^ SHOULD NOT BE 1
SOURCE OF WORRY!
But it oftan is. People loan their savings to others. When the
interest is due it is not forthcoming. And then the principal itself is
frequeLtly lost, o Most persons can earn money, but comparatively few
are fortunate in placing their surplus in individual loans that are.
both safe and profitable. >
In a good, sound, reliable bank like this your money will be absolutely secure and the interest we guarantee in onr savings department
will bo paid promptly eyery six months (April and October) as it
comes due. ' •
We solicit your account, whether commercial or sayings. Every

YOU MAY SAVE
A dollar or so by buying
a cheap range on the
start, but you will be the
loser in a short time.
* We haye cheaper
ranges, but we consider
that a little more money
put |nto a ROUND OAK

in the end far the cheapest.

Happenings of Interest Gathered for the

32 Years Old.
It is just 32 years ago, or July 16,
1875, tiat Zion Lutheran church was
oi-ganized.. It was only a" few weeks
before the new church had 169 members. Iu the 32 years of its existence
the church has had but three pastors,
Rev. H. F. Belser, who was pastor
from the organization of the church
to 1890: 'Rey. Max Hein, who was
pastor from 1890 to 1895, and Rev.
Alexander Nieklas, the present pastor, who has been here for the past
12 years. The present church "building with a 145-foot'tower, was built
in. 1894 at a cost of $20,000.—Ann
Arbor Times.
Honey Famine Coming..
A German bee expert in Adrian
township named Vollmer, predicts
that honey will be a scarce article in
this part of Michigan. He says the
bees barely secured sufficient substance from the trees thus far this
season to satisfy their own needs, and
does not expect "the clover blossoms
will enable them to create much of
a surplus. Therefore prepare for a
honey famine and also high prices for
the  sweet delicacy.—Adrian Press.
The St. James Hotel of Ann Arbor,
narrowly escaped being burned last
week by an exposed liye wire.
Valuable Keepsake.
Carl A. Kelley has an old bible which
ante-dates by far anything in that line
that has bee*n reported here yet. It
was printed in Scotland in 1748 and
was successively the property of his
great-great-grandfather Barnard Kelley, his grandfather, Aaron H. Kelley,
and his father, Chas. A. Kelley. It
is a valuable keepsake which he
prizes  very highly.—Brighton  Argus.
Encouragement For Dexter.
It has been learned recently that the
Detroit United "expect to use the Bo-
land line from Jackson to Dexter for
the regular trafiic of the -company and
will take a short cut from that point
to the nearest point on the old Hawks-
Angus line covering the remainder
of the distance to Detroit over the
latter tracks. —Ann Arbor News.

TERRIBLE WRECK.
One of. the worst wrecks that occurred for a long time, took place four
miles west of Plymouth when a Pere
Marquette excursion train met a
freight train .in a head-on collision.
The .passenger train was carrying SOO
employees of the road and their families on their annual excursion to Detroit. The local freight was given
the right'of way over everything but
first-class passenger trains and the
officials claim that the special train
had been forgotten. The baggage car
was converted into a mass of splinters, two other coaches were stripped
from their trucks and tossed into the
air as though weighing but a few
pounds, another coach was standing
almost squarely on end the rear entrance being fully thirty feet in the air.
Fortunately the four rear "cars of the
passenger train were uninjured and
as soon as the catastrophe had happened, those occupying these poured
forth in the work of rescuing the less
fortunate. The number Of killed has
been placed at 33, and the injured at
64. The news of the wreck spread
like wildfire and very soon physicians
and nurses from nearby cities hastened to the spot to render what
assistance was needed in caring for
the injured.
CONDUCTOR HAMILTON
TAKES THE BLAME.
Question: "It is evident that somebody, "made a mistake; how do you
plsice the responsibility for the accident.'
Answer: "Myself, engineer, fireman
and one brakeman read the orders
wrong. I had'never had any trouble
with train orders before. I understand that a" special train with an
order of this character has an absolute Hght of track as regards an inferior train. ,As. conductor of No. 71,
with, the orders in my possession, I
understand we were to clear the time
of superior trains in opposite direction five minutes. I understood that
my relationship to this train was the
same- as it would be to No/4, which
is a regular scheduled train.'
Detroit, July 24.—Conductor Hamilton, of the local freight, appeared
at the office of General Superintendent "W. D. Trump, at the latter's request and was questioned by Mr.
Trump concerning .the collision, the
questions and. answers being taken
down by a stenographer. ,
The. conductor says he and all the
members of his crew read the order to
clear the special at Salein at 9:25.
The order shows the special -was at
that station at 9:10. -The statement
was immediately transcribed by the
stenographer and the transcript signed by Mr. Hamilton.
Binder Twine
LOOK at the ta* on your twine and be sure that the
"Plymouth tra*Je mark is on every tag."
TT means you will get twine made in the oldest and
■ largest independent mill world; twine that
|tTEVER fails to give satisfaction, being full length,
■' full strength; evenly spun and we}l 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, " '  .
AND condemn a binder that would work all right if
they used Plymouth Twine.
YOtT 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 having Plymouth
trade mark and name of Lindsay Bros.
ON the tag is exactly as represented.     Do not wait
until harvest time; order now, beeause
SOMETIMES the demand for Plymouth Twine is beyond our ability to supply.

New D. J. &. C. Cars.
The first of the five, big, new, electric cars for the limited-service "was
brought out Monday by the Detroit,
Jackson & Chicago railway. Conductor W. B. Mean-well made the- initial
trip.
The interior of the new coach is
finished in cherry and upholstered in
figured green plush. It is equipped
with 25 electric lights to provide better lighting for evening reading, and
has electric push buttons along the
sides opposite" each seat.
■ One of the good features is that the
platform is much lower than on the
old cars. There is but one step from
the plaform to the ground and but one
from the platform into the Car.
