Farmers Clubs and Grange Program Strong Feature of
/       the Day.
One of the most all around successful days of oelebraiaou in tbe city's
history is the general verdict on the
program of events carried out Wednesday in t'he oity, The whole arrangements were most creditable especially to Chief Oanfleld and the
fire department and to D. E. Alward
-who was in charge of the literary
part of the day's program. The
crowd was most orderly and on the
testimony Of strangers in the city as
creditable in general particulars as
ever assembled anywhere on such an
occasion. Dover and Farwell bands
were highly spoken of and were
throughout the day most generous
in discoursing sweet music. Close to
5,000 people were in the city during
the day.
Under the auspices of farmers
clubs and grangers three splendid
addresses were given on the Alward -
Hudson lawn, east Fifth street-,
which with delightful songs by Mrs.
G. B, Wells rounded out one of the
most complete and generally satisfactory of such programs ever heard
almost anywhere. E. W. Allen of
Wise presided. Philip A. Bennett
welcomed the city's guests and Mrs.
S. McJames in well chosen words
made response. Ex-Senator Woodman of Paw Paw gave a fine address
emphasizing the need or glorifying
the farm home and developing the
. farm boys into cultured all around
men of ability to own and live on our
farms. Ex-Senator Waterbury gave
a, fine address on the need of deeper
and wider scientific knowledge and
Lieutenant Governor Kelley ended
the oratorical feast with one of his
characteristically optimistic address-
Moriimer Whitehead of National
Fame Orator of Day at
Stevenson Lake.
At Keller's landing, Stevenson
4alse, next Wednesday everybody,
farmers and townspeople, are invited
to co-operate with, Isabella and .Olare
county Grangers for a day's outing,
enjoyment and oratory.
Hon. Mortimer. Whitehead of Indiana, past national Grange lecturer,
will give the address' of tbe day and
from the, various comments on his
ability in the field of oratory it will
be a rare treatto listen to him. J. W.
Keller will make the address of welcome andD. E. Alward of this city the
response. Wm, Oooper will render a
solo and Rosebush mate quartette
will contribute to the pleasure of the
occasion.
>   A base ball game, Vernon vs.   Gilmore, will be played at ten a. ni.
This is ta be a day of good cheer,
the Grangers' annual event. Everybody is invited. That the Grangers
are in charge ensures   a good  time.

Dale, the three year old son, of Mr.
and Mrs. John Freed, of Hatton died
Wednesday morning after a three
days' illness of spinal meningitis."
This is the first time death entered
this home and, taking the bright
little boy who was so dear to its
members aswell as a pet of the whole
neighborhood, the loss is indeed
great.
The funeral is held today from the-
church at the Brown in charge of
Rev. Mr. Moffit with interment at
cherry Grove. Many, beautiful floral
offerings attest the sympathy of
many friends.

in a large baby carriage by a sister
in the cool of evening the child was
a pathetic figure toward the end.
Comntissionqr * Earle   Summer-
-""izes Acts Passed.
At fr recent good road celebration
Commissioner Earle summarised the
good things done for ihe roads by
the last legislature as follows;
"Jf the legislature h,ad not done another thing but pass the road laws
that they have, they would have merited praise instead of cusses.
"Here are some of the changes:
"Repealed the wide tire rebate? it
is supposed that at this stage of enlightenment everybody knows better
than to buy a narrow tired wagon
any way, and only a few were tight
enough to want* a rebate, but the
law was passed juBt to guard against
that few.
"Amended the township bond law,
so that now aiownship can bond for
roads or bridges if sixty per cent of
the voters vote so to do.
"Amended the law pertaining to
duties of township highway commissioner.
"Amended county road law, so that
it is now constitutional and so that
She back townships can builti roads
in their townships provided the county road commissioner do not build,
and can collect county aid as state
state aid, also amended it so that the
county board' of supervisors say how
manyroad commissioners there shall
be. What they shall be paid, and
what roads they shall build.
"Passed a good road's district law,
which allows less than the whole
county to work under the county road
lawj that is any combination of townships, villages and cities 'can join in
building roads in such district under
the county road law. Levying a, tax
on all the property for the purpose "of
building the leading roads of gravel
or stone.
"Cash road tax law, which does
away with road districts in a township and does away with pathmasters
and the statue labor work plan, all
taxes will be collected in cash by the
township treasurer. Two road taxes,
neither to be over one-half of one
per cent, on a road repair tax, which
fund must be expended on the roads
benefitting the property taxed; which
fund may be used in building a bridge

Whole area of these three towns there has been much buying up of state land in the past year. On the
Kelley ranch there are 250 acres cleared with fine crops-and a big herd ol shorthorn cattle and a flock of
Angora goats. On the big Littlefield ranch adjoining there is a fine breed of Aberdeen Angus Cattle
and a big flock of sheep. The northwest part of Surrey is predicted to be the best part of that .township. In fact there is every reason to believe that the next few years will "witness very marked development in the entire southwest part; of tbe county.

words of praise were heard for Mr.
Cummins' worth but on the vote the
combination was too strong, Olare,

two votes. Judge Sharpe of Ogemaw

strong to be overcome.
