Splendid Showing of
Farm Resources at
Fair.
First on entire exhibit.
First premium on grains and vegetables for a group of twenty counties.
First premium on fruits for a group
of fourteen counties,   . * .
First premium on the best ten ears
of corn.
First premium on the best ten
plates of apples for family use.
Such is tbe record Olare county's
exhibit makes at the state fair for
1007. The exhibit committee, Messrs.
. Kelley, Jackson and Hamer, are
happy and everybody is well pjjeased
at this fresh boost for the county's
agricultural worth and consequent
future development. The premiums
make a total of S117, but that is a
minor consideration. It is the superiority of our products that counts.
The committee shows such good
judgment in collecting and displaying the exhibit that it is greatly to be
hoped that no -conditions will arise
causing a change in its personnel.
Olare countyis contribution to the
state fair management, Hon. A, J.
Doherty, has as general superintendent anew demonstrated that he has
had a substantial part in bringing
the success achieved by the state
furr in the past two years, ."Nearly
a 100 tickets were sold from Olare to
the state fair. The total influence to
the state is certainly most excellent.

Maple Grove Correspondent.
The Sunday School convention
held in H. Tait's grove August 27th
was all that could be desired. The
weather was fine and the attendance
the largest that has been at any of
the Surrey-Garfield conventions.
The grove was just suited to the
occasion. The program with a few
exceptions was carried through without a break. The divines in attendance were Revs, Petershans
Belden and Huddle. One of the
principal features of the day was the
talk on social purity by Mrs 0 D Petershans of Glare. Very interesting and
inspiring talks were also given by
the various ministers, B. S. Alloy,
D. Gibson, Prof. Northon and others.
Some singing from the Pentecostal
occasionally changed the program.
The singing by the girls intermediate
class of Maple Grove school was
exceptionally fine as was also the
the instrumental music by the young
people. Little Gilbert of Brinton
gave a very pleasing recitation.
Of course everybody enjoyed the
picnic and the afternoon song service. Coffee was supplied by the M.
G. S. S. and water pure and free was
plentiful. It -was estimated that
about three hundred people were
present. After the question box had
been overturned and the questions
answered. The singing of "God Be
with You Till We Meet Again" closed the tenth convention " for Surrey
and Garfield townships.

MIR DOVER CHURCH,
Strong Interest in This Work
the Hustling Hamlet.
Dover is greatly interested in repairing her church. The interior is
to be completely renovated, newly
papered and painted with new stone
steps at the entrance and the1 exterior also repainted, ali of which is
already provided for by donations, in
the commuuirity. A full house greets
the pastor, Dr. O. F. Shaw, at each
Sunday afternoon service and a phe-
nominally large Sunday school under
charge of Mrs. D. McMaster is also a
regular Sunday occurence.
Tuesday evening there was a social
and band concert at the church and
Such was the interest, young people
coming from miles around including
forty from Olare, that many didn't
get even a peep in at the door.
Twenty dollars was realized from
serving ice cream and, as space permitted, everybody had a good time.
It was renewing the old spirit of
good time in lumber 4ays with the
rollicking roughness gone.
Rev. and Mrs. 0, F. Shaw share
largely in the good work now on in
the Dover community and mpst kindly are they regarded by all for their
efforts.

FARM HOME OF A. LAUTZENHE-SER, HATTON TOWNSHIP.
Is situated in the southeast part of the township in a most excellent farming community. The north and western part of the
township has been slower in development but around Mann Siding
there is considerable activity. Sheep ranches are stepping stones
to farms. The Johnson ranch hrthe southwest part of the township is one of the notable growths of the past two years. A big
barn and other corresponding enterprises here show rapid growth
of farm lands of excellent quality. Not all the township will become such fertile fields as are found around the I/au-zenheiser home
but the area, by no means inconsiderable, that is already rich productive farms will be multiplied many times. The land, centering
around this home takes high rank in agriculture,
WERE OLD LANDMARKS.
Foss and Dwyer Buildings on Mc-
Ewan Street Were. Among Oldest business Structures. ■
The tearing down of the fire remnants of the Foss building in the city
with the ruius of the Dwyer building
to follow recalls the pionier days of
the early seventies. W. S. Oooley
built both struotures, the Dwyer building in 1871 and the Foss in 1873,
each "* for a harness - shop. Soon
after the 'erection of the first.
W. H. Elden. occupied it for a jewel-
ery store. Lumber for number two
building was gotten out by the first
regular saw flail! in Olare, Bowen's
mill near the union depot - while for
the other Butler'B little mill near the
electric light power house prepared
the lumber. At thattime those buildings were the farthest north pf any
business structures. New buildings
will replace the ruins. J. E. Foss
will build probably forthwith and
negotations are in -progress for a
similar result onth§.site of the Dwyer
structure, The replacing of brich
buildings for the old frame structures,
which has gone on so rapidly in Olare ,.
marks a rapid transition from the
old to the new.

Despite alleged squealing on the
part of certain "members of the reservation, Indians still manage to

Rev. Oarl Seipp of, Leaton winds up
his pastorial year with two dedications. Wednesday was the dedicatory
day in^the morning and afternoon at
the Bradley Indian mission church
and in the evening at Leaton. As he
next week hies away to the M. E.
conference he presumably goes with
a little honest pride 'for real work
done.
"Never paid a cent of school tax
since I've been in the burg," says a
Rosebush resident property owner.
The Rosebush school is about a mile
north of town. Gns Lynch weilds the
birch therein and does it to a purpose
too for there's a mighty big bunch of
"kids" in the district. He gets S600
this year for nine months school, a
record for a district school. But this
sum is easily paid because to one
teacher there are over 100 to draw
primary money for the treasury.
Last year the Sll per capita rolled
the dollars in so fast that there's a
good snug sum in the bank. This
year it is estimated that the primary
money will be S700 so tbat at the
present rate the district will go on
adding to its present surplus for
teachers' wages. Such facts, it is
argued, are ample reasons why Rosebush should be blessed with a school
right in the village.
Sheriff Landon won the proffered
reward, offered by OUnton county,
and good chunk of fame as an officer
as well last week1, by capturing Fay
Wiles at the home of his brother,
Roy, in a house located in a small
clearing in the brush in northeast
Ohippewa township. Roy was captured some weeks ago at an house breaking job at Lebenon but the other escaped. True to expectation the not-
Qrions Fay made his way finally to
the cabin where dwelt his brother's
wife. The posse surrounding the
«abin did see the man enter but
Landon arriving opportunely spotted
his man right off and following? had
him looking into a revolver almost as
Soon as he got admittance. Quickly
the bracelets as well were adjusted despite the boast of the man
that anybody daring to take him out
would himself be carried out fri a pine
box. The brothers were one time
memberB of the notorious Kibby Hallow gang of Gratiot county. Fay, the
bachelor, bears the worst name and
has served time at a number "of
prisons, in fact close to half of his
days since manhood. He is now over
forty. Clinton county expects to
send him up again.

FOR LOVERS MLY.
A County Clerk and a Divine
Bewail the Loss of Cupid's
Power.
It transpires, so says County Clerk
Morrissey, that Cupid's arrows are
not so effective in Olare county as a
few years ago and he wonders thereat. Less than 100 marriage licenses a
year is he now asked to issue "while in
some 'earlier years, when prosperity
shed her rays less gloriously, close to
125 has he most joyously handed out
to happy Jovers.
Rev. G> W. Maxwell,' who also^ is
not without years of experience in
happily terminating Cupid's affairs of
hearts,- joins in the same lament.
The reverend gentleman, serving as
pastor for five years at Farwell and
Gilmore and three at Olare and Herrick continously, surely ought to
know whereof he speaks and his
affirmation of matrimonial knots for
both counties coincides with that of
the genial clerk.
Awake listless lovers and tardy
swains f Give Cupid a chance so that
these and other gentlemen-similarly
interested with them may. not forget
the color of a marriage license nor
stumble over the marriage ceremony.

Simple Rules for Letter
Writing
Dr. Edward Everett Hale devotes
his editorial page in the September
number of the Woman's Home Companion to the subject of "Letter Writing." He calls the attention of his
readers to six simple rules that every
one will do well to remember:
1. Know what you want to say.
2. Say it.
3. Use your own language,
4. Short words are better than long
ones.
5. The fewer words,- the better.
6. Leave out all fine passages.
