Eer. George Mount of _ Ypsilanti will

' Miss Ella Clark, with the assistance
of Dr. Wallace, will give an illustrated
lecture of her trip in ^the west, in the

The communion of the Lord's Supper the first Sabbath of the New Year.
Let every  one be   present  at our
•Christmas exercises  Friday evening.
It will be Santa Claus' headquarters
for the children.
■ The pastor would take this opportunity of expressing to every one his
good wishes for Christmas. Let us be
like Sandy, the Scotchman, who made
his will. He called his lawyer and began making his bequests and kept on
and one, until the lawyer exclaimed,
"Why Sandy, you have not that much
money in the bank.'? "I ken that,"
said Sandy, "but I wanted to show my
good will." What a world this would
be, it one and all would start out to
show their good will and keep it up
365 days in a year. This, friends, is
the program of "Jesus and JbLe wants
our endorsement to make it effectual.
Swindler Hgs a New Game.
A smooth-.swindler has been, victimizing farmers in the vicinity of Prospect
Hill, bety-een Onsted and Brooklyn,
with a new game. The fellow makes a
practice of calling at a farm house* inquiring for the owner and making a
dicker for the purchase of the place for
his ' 'sister.'' He looks everything over
thoroughly and then, haying agreed to
make such a purchase, asks that in
fairness the farmer should buy "some of
the goods he is selling, and usually succeeds in getting away with several dollars, of something else of value, for almost nothing. He has not yet been apprehended. Some of the^ losses have
been made good.

OBITUARY ;
After an illness of about ten days,
caused by the dislocation of her hip
joint, Mrs. Alfred Daniels passed

Sarah Amelia Ellis was born September 3, 1835, in Bethany, N. Y. She
was united in marriage to Alfred
Daniels on October 24, 1862, in Ala-
bana, N.*Y., where her children were
born. In 1884 she with her husband
and family came to Michigan and
amde their home on a farm in Lodi
until in 1906 when they moved to' Saline where they lived until the silent
messenger summoned her.
When quite young she was converted and became a member of the Methodist church, and died as she lived,
trusting in her Saviour, who giveth
His beloved sleep.
Mrs. Daniels is survived by her
husband and five children, Mrs. Harriet A. Towler, Mrs. Flora E. Rogers,
Mrs.. MinDie E. Stollsteimer, Lewis L.
and Frank A. Daniels, all of Saline,
four grandchildren and one brother,

Who Gets the Money?
According to a report made by Dr.
John L. Burkart, secretary of the state
board of health, the campaigns in the
counties so far have been made at a
cost of less than $900 per county. At.
that rate it would cost about $80,000 to
cover the state.
In connection with this report the
Sun editor wishes to remark that the
local newspapers of the stats have done
and are doing as much in this tuberculosis campaign as the hoard of health,
by giving publicity to the doings of said
board, but up to the present time we
have not heard of one of these publishers receiving a _cent of the appropriations made by the state for carrying on
the campaign. If publishers were to
print all the dope that is sent out by the
board under the guise of "press matter," the expense to the publishers
would be greater than*- the appropriation. Thay, however, are expected to
do it'f or the good of the public, while a
bunch of guys at Lansing draw the
money and get the credit for being public spirited.—Petersburg Sun.
