Sympathy is that quality of the human
heart that gives kindly bias TO mems
actions. Without it this world would
be poor indeed, and human nature would
be destitute of one of its most beautiful
attributes. Remove sympathy from the
human breast, and there is u vacuum
created only to be exceeded in size by
that produced by the removal of Light
Running Domestic" from the midst OF
family where it has been for years. Get

County Convention.

Pursuant to call the Democratic
citizens of this city and county
met at the Council Room last Fri.
day evening, and was called to or.
der by j. ID. Turnbull, who stated
the object of the meeting to be fol-
the purpose of appointing two del
egates to the State Convention, and
two to Congressional Convention.
Hon. w. l.. Churchill was called
to the chair, and Ira Stout was
chosen as secretary.
Henry Beebe and A. w. Com
stock, were appointed delegates to
attend the State Democratic Con-
vention, which meets at Detroit on
the 9th of August, and Chas. w.
Richardson and ]. ID. Turnbull
were chosen as delegates to attend
the Congressional Convention, to
be held at East Saginaw, August
18th.
The delegates were instructed to
use their influence in favor of the
nomination of Hon. VIM. L. Web
Der, as their first choice for Repre-
sentative to Congress.
j. ID. Turnbull read a communi-
cation from Don M. Dickinson,
chairman of the State Executive
Committee, and also q form of con-
stitution for the formation of Cen
tennial Reform Clubs, when those
present proceeded to sign their
names as members of the contem-
plated club.
A committee of eight was appoint
ed to solicit members to the club.
The committee consists of the fol-
lowing:
First ward-J. d. Turnbull, Geo.
Richardson and Chas. Golling.
Second ward-Ira Stout, James
Reed and JOS. u. D'Aigle.
Third ward-Donald McRae and
Chas. Noach.
The meeting was ably addressed
by Messrs. Tiff, Comstock, Church
i'll and Turnbull, whereupon it ad-
journed to meet at the Court Room,
on Thursday evening, Aug. 3rd, at
o'clock.
Not in the past fifteen years has
there been time when the pros
poets for success look so bright as
now, and every Democrat seems
inspired with renewed ambition to
make every exertion toward accom-
olishing grand victory for the
party in November, which must of
necessity overthrow tho present
corrupt ruling power.

Biscuit a Luxury For All.-The popu-
lar notion that people suffering from dys-
pepsie or predisposed to that disease,
should not eat biscuit, has grown out OF
the fact that the common Saleratus has
been used in the making of such biscuit.
And it asright; the article is mischiev-
Gus. But light and healthy biscuit, such
as dyspeptic people may eat with impu-
nifty and with positive benefit, are made
from ID. b. DeLands e. Co.'S Chemical
Saleratus. Physicians admit this.

AS general thing at fires in this
city, there are too many men who
have no regard for property or
anything else, and they seek to do
good(0 by tearing out doors, open
ing windows, and mutilating build
ing when there is not the slightest
reason for so doing. Particularly
was this the case at the fire on
Monday.

OF the finest potatoes and wheat we
have rested our eyes on this season.
The potatoes were of large size and
appeared to be of excellent variety,
while the wheat was truly magnifi-

large heads containing about eighty
well-filled grains to the head, and
being the product of the farm of
j. G. Chisholm, near the Jones
school house. Mr.. Chisholm has
two acres of potatoes, and ten of
wheat. Paulette Cicero has anoth-
