Publication pf March 29, 1873, Contains Interesting- items of
Local Affairs.
We were treated to a most pleasant surprise the otner oay, when
George Burkhart loaned The Observer for inspection a copy of the first
issue of the first newspaper to be
printed in Saline, published Saturday,
March 29, 1873, D. B. Sherwood,
Editor and Proprietor.
The  paper   carried   eight   regufar
columns to the page and was approximately 26  inches  in length.   It is
headed  in a  very  dignified  maii""*er
with  the name  Saline Review,   tlie*
two   words   being   separated   by   a
picture   of   the   seal   of   Michigan'.
j Directly beneath the seal the editor
' proudly  exhibited  his policy,   "Independent in Politics, and Everything
Else."    In an important position on
i the  page, the first  news column on
the left, the   editor  proceeds   to lay 1
out  his   policy   under   the   heading}
i "Announcement,"   and   fires   at * the •
' poor Salinites of the day full change
; in the opening phrase, "When Soph-
pcles and Euripides wrote tragedy,"
and  after   a long  and  flowery prologue   devulges   the   soi-inn   secret
that, The Saline Review will be independent   in   pohtics   and "everything
wrestling with his first moustache,
is going to name it after two celebrated baseball teams, because there
are nine on a side," Another side-
splitter reads like this, "Alas, I am
no more." ejaculated Phoebe Jean,
the other evening, after the marriage
ceremony had been performed.
Despite its differences in make-up,
style of writing, cuts and headlines
in comparison with the modern newspaper, we sometimes wonder when
we stop to think of -how the printers
of early days spent hours of labor
picking each small piece of type
from the cases and placing it in line.
Then when we look over a fine specimen, such as this. Saline Review. of
1873, we are forced to hold himin
our highest esteem through the
evidence of his artistry, breadth of
hnbwledge and desire to benefit
mankind shown in its pages.

the public, .and -gives Waschtehaw
county a i'00% r ecOrd in the number
of banking institutions which reopened after adverse *e"conomie ;condi-
tions had forced them to close their
doors. The other two were the local
Savings Bank and the Ypsilanti Savings Bank.
Declaring that the people of
Bridgewater and vicinity have illustrated what the real meaning of the
word trust is, Judge Sample complimented officers and directors of the
bank on the faith and determination
which had made possible the reopen
ing of the institution. He congratulated Roscce O. Bonisteel, who represented the bank, Sid. A. Erwin, assistant state attorney general, representing the state banking department, Theodore A. Stimpson, temporary receiver, and Rudolph E.
Reichert, state banking commissioner, on the cooperation they showed
in making the-act possible.
That the people of the community
and its vicinity iad faith in the bank
is evident from the percentage of de-.
positors who signed the agreement
which, reopened the bank. Of the
depositors, 98.34% signed the agreement, Mr. Stimpson testified. The
agreement was similar to the one
used here by the Saline Savings
Bank. The stockholders raised tha
sum of 525,000 to reopen the bank.
Mr. Stimpson has consented to ie-
main With the bank as cashier until
the first of July, and possibly may be
persuaded to remain longer.
