Leader.
Four natives of Porto Rico who are

Mr. and Mrs. John M. Sweet, who

sixtieth anniversary of their wedding
Tuesday at the home of their son in

Sweei has one sister living.—Ex.
Mayor Gaudy of Ypsilanti, has
vetoed a resolution passed by the
council Monday evening to pay the
King Bridge Co. $5,018.75 for the
Forest avenue bridge recently completed, claiming the taxpayers are not
amply protected and that the bridge
does not comply with the plans and
specifications.—Local.
An item in the Patriot several days
ago stated that a record had heen
made by the Michigan linemen who.
went to Grass Lake and installed six
'phones in half a day. N. F. Wing,
representing- the Citizens telephone
company in Grass Lake, announces
that he recently drove ten miles in the

tn the vicinity of Deerfield lives a
very prepossessing aud ladylike girl,
23 years of age, who not only owns,
but manages her farm. She buys
stock and sells it, too, sometimes making very shrewd bargains. She drives
her own horses and breaks in colts.
In the summer time she hires male

bet* boots and cares for her stock in as
able a manner as any man.—Detroit
Free Press.
A wedding was solemnized in" Blissfield a few days ago, in which the minister used the Russian ceremony, followed by the customary feasting and

off and sold at auction, when they
were returned to her. When the feast
was over the groom, danced with tho
bride, after -which she" danced with
each gentlemen, and each one pinned a
dollar bill to her dress.—News.
A curious state of affairs has prevailed on Pearl street in this village,
and whether it is fate or simply a
queer coincident is a matter for conjecture. During the past four or five
years eight or ten girl babies have
been born to as many households
where the man was of the democratic
political faith, and also nearly as many
boy babies to households where the
man of the house was.a republican.
Some of the bred-in-the-bone republicans are sarcastic enough to insinuate
that the facts show the Ruler of the
universe is very much in favor of the
g. o. p. To say the least, it is a queer
coincidence.—Tecumseh News.

association is very grateful to all those
who assisted in any way, either by
taking part directly in the entertainment, or by the loan of rugs, furs, etc.,
for beautifying the stage.
Our excursion to Tashmoo Park was
again unavoidably put off, owing io
conditions existing between the electric car line and the steamship company. It was impossible to make any
satisfactory arrangements with them,
though Mr. A. J. Warren who has had
considerable experience in such affairs
made every effort to bring this excursion to a successful culmination. We
thank Mr. Warren again for his work
in our behalf. We do not know what
arrangements can be made next summer, but the public can rest assured
that if possible this excursion will
then take place.
We would congratulate the Association members on the large number of
