More Improvements.
It is proposed to further improve
Riverside cemetery by the erection of
a stone archway 38 wide at the entrance to the grounds. There would
be two stone "columns 12 feet high and
& feet square, wth a driveway of 14
feet wide hetween them. On the outer
•sides of these columns spaces of 5
feet wide each would he left for sidewalk entrances and on each side of
these would he a 10 feet high column
3 feet square. The archway would extend completely across these four columns. It is proposed to build these
columns of field stone 12 to 18 inches
in diameter. Farmer friends of the
cemetery are asked to donate any
-such stone they may have and if
enough is secured a "lodge 20 x 30 feet
in size will he built just inside the
grounds for the use of funerals and
the like.—Clinton correspondence Tecumseh News.
Trouble Over Fishing.
There is trouble over the fishing
privileges at Allen's lake in Cambridge township. L. D. Watkins
claims the lake is his private property
and that he holds a deed to it. E. D.
Kerr owns about 100 rods of land
bordering on the lake and considers
his rights to fish in the lake equal to
those of Mr. Watkins. Recently Mr.
Watkins entered complaint before a
Clinton justice against E. S. Billmeyer
of Onsted for trespass and on Thursday the jury returned a verdict of no
cause for action. Mr. Watkins will
carry the case to the higher courts,
so it is likely the rights in the question will be established.—Tecumseh
News.

A Failure.
The properties of the Toledo, Detroit & Ann Arbor electric railroad,
including roadbed, rails, ties and partly completed power house, were offered for sale yesterday in Bedford township, Monroe county, by the receivers
by orders from the court. There were
110 Didders and the sale was declared
off. As this is che of the best electric line proposition in Southern Michigan and there are several good business enterprises along the proposed
line, arrangements for taking up and
pushing tho*road may still be mads.—-

Ancient Coin.
Andrew Springstead has a vah^able
pocket piece, _ a silver coin brought
him from Greece, of date centuries before Christ, heaving o^on^ si<|e the
head of Alepc-jndef the Great, beautifully car.ved,' apd on the ether, Jupiter
seated on a throne and bearing his
septre in one hand and with the eagle
perched on his other wrist. On the
side are the Greek words, Basileus
Alexandros (King Alexander). The
coin is of beaten silver and about as
large as a quarter though thicker.—

Dog Unhurt But Auto-?
Usually when au auto strikes a dog
the census of the dog heaven is instantly increased by. one. In Hillsdale, on Sunday last, the dog escaped
unhurt and the buzz wagon was
wrecked. . The machine was owned by
R. C. Plum, who was riding on Howell street, when a large dog ran in
front and busted the steering rod,
allowing the auto to turri, and run
into the curb, whgre it was further
damaged,—:Hu*3sag Post.

Was Sympathetic.
Despite, the fact that Orin G. Seaver had both legs amputated, and proud
flesh has to be removed from the
wound every few. days, causing intense pain, he is very cheerful and
looking forward .anxiously to coming
home in a few weeks.
He is still determined to enter college this fall and work his way
through as was his original intention.
" His case has won much sympathy,
and his room at St. Mary's hospital, is
made bright, with the many beautiful
flowers sent by friends. He has received many letters of sympathy and
one from an entire stranger, A. K.
Ozawa, a Japanese law student at Ann
Arbor, "which contained a .check for
?20, and a letter, in which the writer
said, although he had not met the patient, he could not refrain from offering his sympathy and a little help.—

Binder Twine
LOOK at the tag on your twine and he sure that the
"Plymouth trade mark is on every tag.
IT means"you will get twine made in the oldest and
largest independent mill world; twine that
WEYER fails to give satisfaction, being full length,
•' full strength; ^venly spun* and well balled,
DON'T -be deceived by parties offering twine claimed
to be "Just as good as Plymouth"
SOME farmers lose lours in the harvest field when
minutes count,
AND condemn a binder that would work all right if
1 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.
EEMEMBER  eyery ball of twine having Plymouth *
trade mark and name "of Lindsay Bros.
ON the tag is exactly as represented.    Do not wait
antil harvest time; order now, because
SOMETIMES the demand for Plymouth Twine is beyond our ability to supply.
