A CITIZEN OF REED CITY COMMITS
SUICIDE.-During the forenoon of
Thursday last the people of Reed City
were startled at the news that Mrs. G..
j. Aldrich had received telegram from
Greenvillc, this State, saying that her
husband had taken poison and was
dead. The act was committed ut Otis
co, near Greenville. 1t is supposed
that financial embarrassment, and con-
scquent depression of spirits led the un-
fortunate man to commit the rash act
of destroying his own life.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
1t seems that Lake township intends
to be the banner town in literature.
AT the recent town meeting, they voted
to appropriate quite large sum of mon
ey for a town library, and last week,
Fl. S. jerks visited Detroit for the pur-
pose of purchasing the books. He en-
deavored to select books to please all
classes; but above all, to buy good stand
ard works, histories, biographies, books
of travel and adventure, by the best
authors; Bayard TaylOr's library of
travel, exploration and adventure.
Among the works of fiction, are stories
by the well known authors, Charles
Dickens, Washington Irving, Mary
Jane Holmes and other good writer's.
The officers of Lake township have
conducted the affairs of the township
in such manner as to keep free from
debt-an example that other towns i'm
our county would do well to follow
and now have a large and well selected
library, that any town might well be
proud of.

Several have suggested the plan of
having the next meeting of the Sol

county OH the 4th Of July next, instead
of In June, as agreed upon ut the last

1t was decided to give way for those
who might wish to attend the meeting
of the State Association, which meets
I'm Detroit, on Independence Day. If
anything Is to be done In regard to
changing the day of the coming re-un-
lon to July 4th, and then to have some
thing of a celebration In Baldwin, the
sooner the work of preparation Is COM
menced the better the prospects ofsuc-
cess.
We are In receipt Of copy of "rhe

canvass for the book, which will he
sold on subscription, only. Every fam
lily should have copy of the history
of our country up to the centennial
year.
We would call attention of soldiers
and sailors to the notice of a meeting
to be held in Court House Hall, Bald

THE JUDICIAL AND SENATORIAL
CoxvENrlox.-In reply to our neigh
Dor, the Mansfield Reporter, eoueetu-
ing the Convention, We agree With
him perfectly as to the principle
1Eaeh one in lis tnrn," for il vilIbs
remembered that the last Convention
was held in DeSoto parish, although
not exactly in the town Of Mansfield.
Now, going on the principle each
one in bis turn,' We cannot see Why
We shx,fd not cFafn 91onr torn 10
this particular matter. We sos tho
first cali, and it does appear to us as
if it world be but neighborly 90 the
part Of the Reporter TO aid as, and
not try to appr"p:iate to itself, our
th,cder. However It Is a matter n
little COZ. sequence 10 Us, WHAT '.e ~.
dmte place hay be designated '0d y
the delegates appointed from '''
several parishes concii':dc, that 'n.;' '..!
prefer any other place than our ' ''''''
city, We will most cordially acqs'e~e
in their decision, and with the ut1nds'
complaisaDco urge upon them 10
nomination Of our best and abless
| citizens for the different Offices. We
have no special fav"rites, or part'eo'
lar friends to lobby through this, q
suy other Convention.
The People's vindicator., 1876-06-03


The crops are in q iiattering condi
ton throughout our parish. The laet
rains have been just the thing to help
out corn, and although We have met
but few of our farmers on the streets
fur three months past, tldse We do see
are much checred up at the prospects.
We have at last succeeded in get.
ting in more corn land than usual
aud now it remains to be seen wheth.
er that land will he cultivated pro.
pcrly or not. 1t shonld be lemem-
bered that acreage wont make corn,
but plowing properly does.
For the benefit Of the farmer We
would say, that cotton is still going
down, aud that we think the hopes Of
