Livingston-O'Hara.'
At half after 5:00 on Saturday afternoon occurred the marriage of Miss
Ermine O'Hara to James J. Livingston
of Highland Park. Dr. M. S. Rice of
the North Woodward Avenue M. E.
church performed the ceremony in the
presence of the immediate families.
American Beauty roses were used in
the living room while yellow beoe
chrysanthemums centered the table in
the dining room.
Mrs. Livingston wore a traveling
suit of wine colored broadcloth
trimmed with mole skin, with hat of
mole colored plush.
After a family dinner, Mr. and Mrs.
Livingston left immediately for an
eastern trip on which they will visit
Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington,
New York and other points of interest.
Mrs. Livingston is well known in
Salioe and was recently connected with
the Washtenaw Agency Company of
knn Arbor in the capacity of secretary
and treasurer, Mr. Livingston was
graduated from the department of civil
engineering of the University of Michigan with the class of 1914.

The Men's Banquet.
The men's banquet on Tuesday evening of this week at the Presbyterian
church was an unique event that will
abide in cheering memories of all who
were present.
The ladies of the church served a
bountiful chicken pie supper, and the
gentlemen freely expressed their hearty
appreciation of such proficiency in the
culinary art. <■*
It was indeed an inspiring sight to
see such a large body of men sit down
together in social fellowship. It was
the annual outing of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood of Ann Arbor, and that
university ce~ter has never sent out a
more verile type of manhood than which
autoed to Saline on Tuesday evening.
A large number of our men were
present, as a reception committee, and
to avail themselves of such an inspiring
occasion. .
After the supper a well arranged
program was carried out, consisting of
popular songs by the^uartet, informal
speeches and addresses setting forth
the aim and purposa of the great brotherhood movement in the churches.
Much is being heard and "written of
what the laymen are' doing, but it is
in this popular and enthiisiatic gathering of men, pledging "their allegiance
and loyalty to the leadership of'Christ,
we have a striking illustration of' the
breaking down of denominational narrowness, that the men of our Churches
have caught a vision of the brotherhood,
which in the spirit of Christ we owe to
humanity and which must become the.
true social instiftet of our community
life.

YOU CANT BEAT 'EM
An "Oldest Inhabitant"   Says  1915
Was Comparatively Warm.
The "oldest inhabitant" is generally
at the front with his "Pooh! Pooh!"
and an account of. the meteorological
vagaries of 1849, or some other early
date, whenever an _ unusual storm or
run of weather is encountered, but the
past season appeared for a time as a
knock-out blow to him. Before the full
count was given, however, an "oldest
inhabitant," living down at Washington, D. C, springs up from the mat
with a triumphant leer swathing his
countenance and in strident-voice makes
the startling announcement that "the
summer of 1915 was hot compared with
the summer of 1816.'' This O. L has
been searching mustysrecords and found
that the meteorological idiosyncrasies
of 1915 were nothing compared with
those of 99 years ago when June was a
month of ice and desolation, the thermometer very far below freezing point;
even in the southern latitude and'-all
renewal of planting was abandoned.
Frost, ice and snow were common
throughout the country, every green
thing which had availed itself during
the few days of sunshine to develop
perished in the frost and all kinds of
fruit were destroyed.
In Vermont snow fell to the depth of
ten inches during the month; seven
inches of snow in Maine and three
inches throughout Massachusetts and
Central New York.
July was accompanied by frost and
ice, and on the Glorious Fourth an
abundance of ice was found in streams
and pools as far south as Virginia.
August, which it was hoped would end
the cold weather, soon dispelled that
hope; it was even thicker than in the
preceding month, and the corn was so
badly frozen that it was cut for fodder,
and almost every green plant was destroyed.
The papers received from England
stated that the year 1816 would be remembered for a generation as the year
in which there was no summer.
School Notes
The superintendent, A. A. Metcalf,
attended the foot ball game at Ann
Arbor Saturday.
Mrs. Fairbank took hex, geography
class to Mead's fiats for an interesting
study in the geography of rivers.
The teachers at a regular meeting
voted not to attend the teachers' institute which is to be held at Saginaw on
October28 and29..  ,...■■
A monthly meeting'-of the Senior
class was held at the home of Jean
and Lucille LeBaron Friday evening.
Refreshments were served and a general good time reported.
The Junior class held their first
class meeting at the home of Elizabeth
Smith Saturday. The following officers for the year were elected: President, Elizabeth Smith; "secretary,
Webster Coe; treasurer, Stella West-
phal.
Mrs. Davenport has kindly presented to the school about eight hundred
tulip and hyacinth bulbs, which the
agricultural class is planting. Under
the direction of. Miss Ackley the class
formed two divisions with Mr. Lutz
and Mr. Osborne as leaders, each side
planting half a bed and competing to
do the better work.
The Saline High School has opened
their basket ball season, The boys
have held two practices; first practice,
October 20; second practice, Oetober
22, and are getting along nicely. The
girls' basket ball team is composed of
24 members. They have the material
for a good team this year and have
three games scheduled thus far.
An interesting and valuable !p"am.-
phlet was forwarded to .the Saline
school this week by Mr. ,F. J. West of
Ann Arbor. It is the school catalog
for July, 1874. L. A. Park was principal.- The graduating class consisted
of four students, Orrin Culver, Timothy Josenhans, Dwight Berdan and
Sarah Lawrence. Number enrolled in
the school was 289, nearly one hundred
more than at present. The per cent of
attendance was 70 compared to 98 at
present. Number enrolled in the high
school, was 56 compared to 63 at present. Among the high school students
appears the name of Charles Hoyt who
since has graduated with a Ph. D. degree at Jena and occupies the chair of
philosophy and education at the State
Normal of Ypsilanti. The catalog
came in an opportune time, since the
present superintendent is collecting
material for a permanent history of
the school. Any information from
old graduates will be much appreciated.
