Pleasing Operetta Presented
at School Slall Friday
Evening.
About two hundred attended the
operetta, "Jack Frost's Mistaue,"
given by the elementery grades at the
school hall on Friday evening, and
enjoyed the entertainment from beginning to end.
The program opened with the operetta, during which seven musical
numbers were acceptably rendered by
the little folks.
Part two consisted of a song number by the second primary and first
grammar grades, followed by a- pretty
folk dance, "The Muffin Man," by the
first primary. Lprin Schleh sang
"Thankful Bobby" very nicely, after
which the second grammar gave a line
'interpretation of "The First Thanksgiving," a playlet introducing " the
principal characters of the early pilgrims. A school song in which all
the grades joined was the closing
number.
Liberal applause for each effort attested the appreciation of the audience.

Alive To Saline's Advantages.
The following letter was received by
The Observer, and is of interest to the
many enterprising citizens who have
been hustling for the benefit of the
village and vicinity. It is pleasing to
note that the progressive spirit manifest here is attracting the attention of
the commercial interests of the outside world;
Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 28,1912.
Mr. Sim. R. Wilson,
Saline, Michigan.   -
Dear Sir:
I notice in the last issue of the "Observer" your editorial on the improvements yon are going to make in your
plant and I am very glad to know you
are to use electric power. I also notice, on the front page of your paper,
valuable suggestions in regard to the
organization of a commercial club in
Saline. I cannot too highly endorse
this proposition ancl I hope that you
will push it along and that your article will bear practical results.
I have always looked upon Saline
as one of the most favored of communities, both in the character of its
citizens and in the material location
of the place.
If at any time, we can assist you in
any way, kindly call upon us and we
shall be glad to do so.
Yours very trulj-,

Sal.ne's Pioneer Business Circle Is Closed.
During the past week our village
has been called to mourn the loss of
the last one of our pioneer business
men, a man who has been continuously identified in business relations
and worked for the uplift' of Saline
village ior fifty long years. At no
time did he shrink from duty or spare
favors when needed.
Charles Burkhart was born in
Wurtemburg,  Germany,   August 10,
1887, ancl died at his home in this
village, November 21, 1912. At the
age of ten years he came with his parents to this country and settled in
Freedom township, this county.
Alter working on the farm a.few years,
ancl obtaining a common school education, he started out for himself,
clerking in the postoffice at Milan for
a brief time, when he came to this
village and took up clerking for
"Tommy" Haywood in a general
store where he remained several years.
About the year 1862 he opened a little
grocery in the old two-story frame
building on the site now occupied by
A. L. Westphal, where he continued
successfully until the spring of 1872,
when he became a partner with E. li,
Aldrich and erected the three story
brick store on Main street where they
carried on a dry goods and general
merchandise business until in May,
1888, when Mr. Burkhart purchased
the interest of his partner and continued the business alone until April 1,
1908, when failing health caused him
to retire. He turned the stock
and business over to his two sons
George and Fred. A few weeks later,
in May, 190S, the Saline Savings
Bank was organized ancl Mr. Burkhart became its president, which position he has since held, giving much
of his time and wise counsel to bring
about its success, and the bank by his
death loses a good associate and valuable officer.
In. November, 1861, he was united
in marriage •with Miss Maria Case,
who died August lo, 1868. To this
union five children were born, only
two of whom, George and Charles F.,
survive him. On October 80, 1878, he
was again married, to Miss Adelheid
Buhler, who departed this life September 17. 1910, ancl to this union
there were born twej, daughters, Mrs.
Will Cody ancl Mrs. S. Y. Cotton, and
one son, Fred Burkhart.
Mr. Burkhart was one of a family of
fourteen children, only two of whom,
Mrs. Friedreka Miller of Ami Arbor
and Christian Burkhart of Lodi, survive him.
Mr. Burkhart was a man of unusual
uprightness, he was firm in his convictions, but not unreasonable in
either judgment or commercial dealings. His acquaintance was far
reaching and, generally speaking, his
many acquaintances were his friends.
It was never his wish or ambition, to
j be conspicuous in politics, and al^
though a true republican  for a life-

dined all.    He had held the office of
j village president, served as a member
! ol the council two ternis  and was  a
1 member o.f the school  board   for   a
! time.    He, w-js a quiet citizen  and a
joyer   pf     home   comforts;     was    a
kind husband and father and will be
greatly missed, not only by his family, but by many clear friends.    He
cared little for society, and was not a
member of any order.     He had been
a member of the Evangelical Lutheran  Church for about twenty   years.
His last sickness was of about two
weeks duration, and while   perhaps
serious, yet liatal   results   were   not
looked for until only "a few hours before death came.
The obsequies were held at the family home Sunday at 1 p. m. and at
the Evangelical Lutheran Church at
1;30, interment being made in the
family lot in Oakwood cemetery.
