;9 to 2 A."'M.
Progress means pressing forward,
but true progress is determined, not
only by our ability to look ahead into
the mists of tbe future, but to look
ba,ck.,into the.shadows.of the past. „
In'these days when we enjoy broad*
acres, spacious homes, speedy' means
of travel, and all tha comforts made
possible by electricity, telephone and
radio, we fail to sense our debt to
those sturdy pioneer men and women
who mads possible the privileges,
blessings and comforts of" today.
Somebody has always to push beyond the frontier. Somebody has always got to have the vision and the
courage to go ahead and lay the
foundations of community, of social
and religious life of those who follow.
And moreover it is ".generally true
that the first settlers give social color and character to the community.
Macon was fortunate to have as its
pioneer settlers, Quaker men and
women who came not simply 'to make
maney nor to acquire unworthy power, but to. lay the foundations whereon future homes should be given a
fuller expression than ever before.
The passing of time always remove
those who are courageous ana far-vis-
ioned enough to blaze the trail. The'
passing of years also causes those
who follow to forget and to become
unappreciative of those 'who have
gone before, but this could not be
said of descendants of three of the
four first settlers of Macon. Even
after the lapse of a hundred years,
three of those families/ namely, the
Collins, the Mills and the Howells.
were most largely and interestedly
represented at the hundredth anniver-.
s'ary of the settlement of James Collins and his son, Isaac, in the woo as
of Macon.
James Collins, on. his arrival in
Michigan, purchased from the government 360 acres of land at the nominal sum of 51.25 per acre. The conveyance papers, or deeds, were signed
by President Jackson.
In speaking of the early "social re-
latons of these pioneer families^ Mildred Burns said that Dr. Joseph
Howell evidently personified the professional side of the newly established community life, Gabiel Mills that
of banking and fianancial interests,
and James Collins that of its agricultural. . . „ ,
It was most fitting and-appropriate
that the hundredth anniversary should,
be held upon the spot where James
Collin? built his log cabin, which is
now the site of Judge and Mrs. Joseph W. Howell's summer home. The
gracious reception and welcome extended by the judge and his wife made
it a Dleasure to be there as their
guests. '
At one o'clock, when the long table's
under the great maple . tress were
loaded by hands that were deft in the
creation of good food, and the call
given from labor to refreshment, it
was indeed a large and happy family
that partook of the bountiful repast.
At 2 o'clock President Ellsworth
Collins called the assembly to order
and the invocation was given by Dr.
William C. Burns. The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer"
•were received.
Immediately 'after the reports, the
president announced the program for
the occasion, which was as follows:
Violin solo—Charles Collins.
Reading of greetings, from absent
members of the family:
. Martha Collins Carter, Barnegat,
N. J., by Alice Collins Burns.
Katherine Collins, Washington, D.
C, by Maude Howell Day.
Ada Collins, California, .by Grace
Burg.
Arrival of our ancestors as personified by Gertrude and Guernsey Collins, grandchildren of Samuel Collins.
The full Quaker garb which, they
wore, the old bay horse and the 50-
year-old buggy by means of which
they arrived at the meeting-, spoke
the primitive simplicity of earlier
days. On their arrival they were es-<
corted to the front porch by Grover
Burg. From there they. spoke of a
short poem entitled "The'Pioneer
Man," written by a member of the
Collins family:
We came and built our cabins,
We felled the mighty oak, **
Walnut were our fence rails,'
Whitewood our oxen's yoke.
The maples gave us sugar,
We tapped the wild bee's store;
Cranberries, plums, crabapples,
Nature gave us galore.
Green fields of grain and clover,
^Sprang from this virgin soil; ;
• A log school house, new highway
si 'Resulted from our toil.
The years have passed and with
them
The hardy pioneer, ,
But since you call us from, the past
We gladly reappear.
This brave resurrected" Quaker
couple were then given a cordial welcome and greeting by five present
day Quaker girls. .;*-
First, girl, dressed in red, bearing
a bouquet of red flowers—Jean Col-
•lins.
■ Red blossoms stand for courage
That moved you west tb roam,
To brave -the forest wilderness *
And leave your Jersey home.
Seconds girl,, dressed in whte, bearing- -wjiite flowjers-MJilennis Gordon.
The -white of Queen Anne's lace •
i. Proclaims your\ Quaker love of
peace*
You lived in friendly quiet
And prayed that war and hate
should •eesse.
Third girl, ditrSsed inforget-me-ncir
blue and bearing1 a bouquet of blue
flowers—Lois • V^interstein. ..
Blue chicory .^nd_ asters wild,
A loyalty they te.il-
To home, kinsfolk and country
To God and right, as well.
Fourth- girl, dressedf in yellow and
bearing a bouquet of yellow flowers—
Frances Winterstein.
Just some roadside daisies,
Homely common flowers
That stand for sturdy, honest folk
Lake these parents of ours.
Fifth girl, dressed in green ana
bearing a bouquet .of- gTeen. flowers—
Persis' Hatch.
Green of oak and maple,
A sign of virgin wood
Which covered .fields and meadows
' A forest dense il_ stood.
* Green leaves and trees may perish
In- the autunrm>of^their years,
Yet new shoots'" spring from the
parent tree?
Descendants :'~>f the pioneers.
Music—Songsjof other days. These
were pieces selected as having been
favorites of tHeiplder generation.-*, by
Mr. Mulholland.1

Vice' President—Mary Hatch.
Secretary and Treasurer—Gretel
Collins. J
Executive Committee—Mrs. Ella
Swick, Mrs. Blanche Gauntlett, Elton
Osborne.
Benediction—Dr. W. C. Burns.
It was generally felt the oneness
and unity of effort manifested, together with the high quality of the
program, made the occasion one to be
.remembered &n_? most expressive of
the spirit, manner.-, of life and faith
the Quaker 'parentage of those privileged to be present. ■
There, were a great many old valuable family treasures exhibited,
among them a few outstanding ones,
as follows;
Watch 125 years old, one that belonged to the father of Isaac Collins;
trunk, owned by Gabriel Mills, which
carried the 810,000 in gold when he
came from Barnegat; geometry book,
about 134 years old; newspaper printed in 1817, owned by Dr. George
Howell; gun, owned by James Collins.
There were also old slippers', quilts,
and Daguerreotypes of the first settlers. .
Hoeft's Fine Work
Paralyzes Dundee
Locals Romped Avay With Sunday's
Game by Lopsided Score •
of 9 to 2. "
Brilliant pitching by Hoeft let
Dundee's sluggers down with five
scattered hits Sunday afternoon, and
it was due to a let-up in fielding i_
the ninth inning- that allowed-Dundee
to score. '
. -Saline's cscoring-. combination wab
in working order. Estermyer sng'ed
to start the game. Hugh Austin,, on
a hit and run play, was safe at first '
Estermyer going to third. Hugh
Austin went to second while George
Austin was being retired. Schmid
scored both runners with a three-
bagger.
This combination with D. and G
Crittenden, Hoeft, and the rest of tn;
line-up to push them along, make:
the opposition pitching lock bad. •
With Hoeft and Lambarth foi
pitchers Saline has the best team oi
home players that any city of our
class can show, and should have youj
support.
Brilliant plays by Schmid, Estermyer and Wiedmayer in the outfield,
with an infield that pulls plays that
make you stand up and stretch youi
lungs;. andTa catcher that can take,
care of the old home plate—well—
come out and see for yourself.
Hoeft had a perfect day at bat—
can he do it again?

SCOUTS AND CUBS HAVE
SUCCESSFUL CAMP WEEK
Court of Honor Held at Which Scout
Executive Wallace Watts Was
in Attendance.
Ample Prize Money
For. County
Fair
Twelve Thousand Dollars Will Be
Distributed to Winners in Va-
■**■ rious Departments.
Twelve thousand dollars in prizes
attracts many entries. Only two
weeks in which to enter.
This year's premiums are to total
approximately $12,000. Among those
departments which, will be very popular this year are the livestock divisions, including horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, poultry, and rabbits,
with premium awards totaling nearly SS,000. In the' farm crops divisions, including flowers, vegetables,
seeds, grains and fruit, there will be
awarded approximately $1,000.
The Boys' and Girls' club work and
all forms of children's partication is
no doubt, one of the salient features
contributing to the success of the
fair.
There will be an addition to the usually large and fine exhibits, a greater profusion of entertainment than
has ever before been attempted at
the County Fair. It is.believed by
officials that there will" not -be an
idle moment in the entire program of
events. The consolidation of Milt
.Hinkle Co. and the Adams Rodeo Co.
will be the stellar attraction on the
amusement program. For one who
has longed to witness the great
Cheyenne frontier day, the Pendelton
round-up or the Calgary stampede,
this exhibition at the 'Washtenaw
County Fair allows unusal opportunity to see the biggest event of this
nature ever brought east. Performances will be presented each afterr
noon and evening.
For several years Saline troop and
Milan troop of the Bpy Scouts have
conducted a summer camp of about
a week for the scouts and the cr!D=.
This year Milan, for various reasons,
was unable to enroll with the locai
troop, so the Saline scouts decided to
go it alone.
Under the able leadership of Scoutmaster M. A. Alber, the enterprise
was organized, the enrollments completed, and the camp was launchec
with the scouts taking possession
on August 7. Camp was formally
broken after supper August 14. A
Court of Honor was held August 11.
at which Scout Executive Wallace
j Watts of Ann Arbor and the local
scoutmaster . presided, decorating
scouts in the ranks of tenderfoot,
first class and one—Elwin Armbruster,—with the highest honor known
to local scouts, the rank of EagI:
Scout. On August 14 Re*?; Schofiel-i
of 'the M. E. church conducted afternoon services fitted to the scout idea.
The boys—under the direction on
Assistant Scoutmaster A. A.' Kalder,
took care of their own kitchen work.
The parents furnished potluck suppers on August 11 and 14, ia kind or
community get-together, which \va_
good for both the hearts and stomachs of all concerned.
The local Rotary clut>—sponsors or
the Scout troop here—took their
noonday Inuch with the scouts on
August 11 and had an uproarious
good time. Over-eating featured the
day's luncheon which was climaxea
by the ducking in the swimming hole
of one of-'the* most promising of the
local crop of coming business men.
This was for high crimes and misdemeanors and' was richly deserved.

Report Of Collins Family Reunion Hundredth Anniversary Celebrated ! at Macon; Fine Program Carried Out. Admission "1 •" 25c per person :pancing:FREE. ;9 to 2 A."'M. Progress means pressing forward, but true progress is determined, not only by our ability to look ahead into the mists of tbe future, but to look ba,ck.,into the.shadows.of the past. „ In'these days when we enjoy broad* acres, spacious homes, speedy' means of travel, and all tha comforts made possible by electricity, telephone and radio, we fail to sense our debt to those sturdy pioneer men and women who mads possible the privileges, blessings and comforts of" today. Somebody has always to push beyond the frontier. Somebody has always got to have the vision and the courage to go ahead and lay the foundations of community, of social and religious life of those who follow. And moreover it is ".generally true that the first settlers give social color and character to the community. Macon was fortunate to have as its pioneer settlers, Quaker men and women who came not simply 'to make maney nor to acquire unworthy power, but to. lay the foundations whereon future homes should be given a fuller expression than ever before. The passing of time always remove those who are courageous ana far-vis- ioned enough to blaze the trail. The' passing of years also causes those who follow to forget and to become unappreciative of those 'who have gone before, but this could not be said of descendants of three of the four first settlers of Macon. Even after the lapse of a hundred years, three of those families/ namely, the Collins, the Mills and the Howells. were most largely and interestedly represented at the hundredth anniver-. s'ary of the settlement of James Collins and his son, Isaac, in the woo as of Macon. James Collins, on. his arrival in Michigan, purchased from the government 360 acres of land at the nominal sum of 51.25 per acre. The conveyance papers, or deeds, were signed by President Jackson. In speaking of the early "social re- latons of these pioneer families^ Mildred Burns said that Dr. Joseph Howell evidently personified the professional side of the newly established community life, Gabiel Mills that of banking and fianancial interests, and James Collins that of its agricultural. . . „ , It was most fitting and-appropriate that the hundredth anniversary should, be held upon the spot where James Collin? built his log cabin, which is now the site of Judge and Mrs. Joseph W. Howell's summer home. The gracious reception and welcome extended by the judge and his wife made it a Dleasure to be there as their guests. ' At one o'clock, when the long table's under the great maple . tress were loaded by hands that were deft in the creation of good food, and the call given from labor to refreshment, it was indeed a large and happy family that partook of the bountiful repast. At 2 o'clock President Ellsworth Collins called the assembly to order and the invocation was given by Dr. William C. Burns. The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer" •were received. Immediately 'after the reports, the president announced the program for the occasion, which was as follows: Violin solo—Charles Collins. Reading of greetings, from absent members of the family: . Martha Collins Carter, Barnegat, N. J., by Alice Collins Burns. Katherine Collins, Washington, D. C, by Maude Howell Day. Ada Collins, California, .by Grace Burg. Arrival of our ancestors as personified by Gertrude and Guernsey Collins, grandchildren of Samuel Collins. The full Quaker garb which, they wore, the old bay horse and the 50- year-old buggy by means of which they arrived at the meeting-, spoke the primitive simplicity of earlier days. On their arrival they were es-< corted to the front porch by Grover Burg. From there they. spoke of a short poem entitled "The'Pioneer Man" written by a member of the Collins family: We came and built our cabins, We felled the mighty oak, ** Walnut were our fence rails,' Whitewood our oxen's yoke. The maples gave us sugar, We tapped the wild bee's store; Cranberries, plums, crabapples, Nature gave us galore. Green fields of grain and clover, ^Sprang from this virgin soil; ; • A log school house, new highway si 'Resulted from our toil. The years have passed and with them The hardy pioneer, , But since you call us from, the past We gladly reappear. This brave resurrected" Quaker couple were then given a cordial welcome and greeting by five present day Quaker girls. .;*- First, girl, dressed in red, bearing a bouquet of red flowers—Jean Col- •lins. ■ Red blossoms stand for courage That moved you west tb roam, To brave -the forest wilderness * And leave your Jersey home.

It was generally felt the oneness and unity of effort manifested, together with the high quality of the program, made the occasion one to be .remembered &n_? most expressive of the spirit, manner.-, of life and faith the Quaker 'parentage of those privileged to be present. ■ There, were a great many old valuable family treasures exhibited, among them a few outstanding ones, as follows; Watch 125 years old, one that belonged to the father of Isaac Collins; trunk, owned by Gabriel Mills, which carried the 810,000 in gold when he came from Barnegat; geometry book, about 134 years old; newspaper printed in 1817, owned by Dr. George Howell; gun, owned by James Collins. There were also old slippers', quilts, and Daguerreotypes of the first settlers. . Hoeft's Fine Work Paralyzes Dundee Locals Romped Avay With Sunday's Game by Lopsided Score • of 9 to 2. " Brilliant pitching by Hoeft let Dundee's sluggers down with five scattered hits Sunday afternoon, and it was due to a let-up in fielding i_ the ninth inning- that allowed-Dundee to score. ' . -Saline's cscoring-. combination wab in working order. Estermyer sng'ed to start the game. Hugh Austin,, on a hit and run play, was safe at first ' Estermyer going to third. Hugh Austin went to second while George Austin was being retired. Schmid scored both runners with a three- bagger. This combination with D. and G Crittenden, Hoeft, and the rest of tn; line-up to push them along, make: the opposition pitching lock bad. • With Hoeft and Lambarth foi pitchers Saline has the best team oi home players that any city of our class can show, and should have youj support.

Ample Prize Money For. County Fair Twelve Thousand Dollars Will Be Distributed to Winners in Va- ■**■ rious Departments. Twelve thousand dollars in prizes attracts many entries. Only two weeks in which to enter. This year's premiums are to total approximately $12,000. Among those departments which, will be very popular this year are the livestock divisions, including horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, and rabbits, with premium awards totaling nearly SS,000. In the' farm crops divisions, including flowers, vegetables, seeds, grains and fruit, there will be awarded approximately $1,000. The Boys' and Girls' club work and all forms of children's partication is no doubt, one of the salient features contributing to the success of the fair. There will be an addition to the usually large and fine exhibits, a greater profusion of entertainment than has ever before been attempted at the County Fair. It is.believed by officials that there will" not -be an idle moment in the entire program of events. The consolidation of Milt .Hinkle Co. and the Adams Rodeo Co. will be the stellar attraction on the amusement program. For one who has longed to witness the great Cheyenne frontier day, the Pendelton round-up or the Calgary stampede, this exhibition at the 'Washtenaw County Fair allows unusal opportunity to see the biggest event of this nature ever brought east. Performances will be presented each afterr noon and evening. For several years Saline troop and Milan troop of the Bpy Scouts have conducted a summer camp of about a week for the scouts and the cr!D=. This year Milan, for various reasons, was unable to enroll with the locai troop, so the Saline scouts decided to go it alone. Under the able leadership of Scoutmaster M. A. Alber, the enterprise was organized, the enrollments completed, and the camp was launchec with the scouts taking possession on August 7. Camp was formally broken after supper August 14. A Court of Honor was held August 11. at which Scout Executive Wallace j Watts of Ann Arbor and the local scoutmaster . presided, decorating scouts in the ranks of tenderfoot, first class and one—Elwin Armbruster,—with the highest honor known to local scouts, the rank of EagI: Scout. On August 14 Re*?; Schofiel-i of 'the M. E. church conducted afternoon services fitted to the scout idea. The boys—under the direction on Assistant Scoutmaster A. A.' Kalder, took care of their own kitchen work. The parents furnished potluck suppers on August 11 and 14, ia kind or community get-together, which \va_ good for both the hearts and stomachs of all concerned. The local Rotary clut>—sponsors or the Scout troop here—took their noonday Inuch with the scouts on August 11 and had an uproarious good time. Over-eating featured the day's luncheon which was climaxea by the ducking in the swimming hole of one of-'the* most promising of the local crop of coming business men. This was for high crimes and misdemeanors and' was richly deserved. FORMER RESIDENT IS CALLED. HOME Howard T. Nichols, One Time Prominent in Business Here, Passed Away Last Thursday.
