The following thcrmomctrical report
was furnished for publication by Lee S.
Cobb, of Yates township:
The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1876-04-27

We think all present at the Coun-
ty Convention, held in Court House
Hall, last Thursday evening, and
hoard the remarks of Mr.. Alvin
Joiner, of Chase, were pleased
thereat. There certainly is no rea-
son why the people of Lake county
should be divided in feeling and in
terest. There is, probably, not a
citizen in oar borders, who intends
to reside here permanently, but de-
sires to see the county advance in
wealth and prosperity. All will all
snit the fact that to see those ends
accomplished, all citizens must work
together tremendously to build up
and strengthen home institutions;
to secure the proper administration
of public affairs; to develop the nat
ural resources, and to draw settlers
upon the many acres of fertile lands
yet in wilderness. We must both
talk and act with harmony and good
will.
All good citizens will agree with
Mr.. Joiner in resolution to bury
the bitter past, and to work for a
brighter and more peaceful future.
This way is not only the right and
true one, but it is necessary step
ping stone to the development of
our county. Every public and pri-
vatc enterprise needs the sympathy
and support of all, or they cannot
flourish properly; and until the day
arrives when unity and friendship
prevails, we must witness a lacking
in the material growth and devel-
Opment.

STORY OF A GOOD LITTLE Boy.
Once there was a good little boy,
but he was not like George Wash
ington because he could tell lie,
but he wouldn't. He was of a deli
cate constitution, and couldn't eat
much but oysters, ETC., and these
had to be dressed. He always
Thought how he should like to be
an angel and sit on white cloud
and pick a harp by moonlight, and
at last he thought he was going to
die for certain, but it was only some
thing that had got into his head
and felt lonesome and wanted to
get out. At last he found out wha1
it was-poetry. So he went to
writing pretty little verses, and
here is one of them
Came along wind and blew down oul
well sweep,
Dad went and fixed it up-sheep.
After he got older he used to
write great epic poems like this
From Mount Vesuvius' lofty burning
top
Great stones come rolling down-hop,
hop, hop.
This good little boy didn't die
yuang, as such good little boys
oaght to-in stories, but he kept on
writing, and after a while he wrote
20 much that he had to send off and
get box to put his little fables ard
things in, and he called it the
bradford Box" In this he put
little stories about who had the
most pigs aud got tripped up and

MIR. EDITOR: Bradford, from It's
situation is peculiarly adapted fol
the mandatory Of agricultural and
mechanical implements; also tol
machinery, general repairs &c. The
number of towns that must neces
sarily Away come into town foI
railroad, and other purposes, must
give it great advantage over any
other town in this vicinity. ! would
therefore call the attention Of the
business men of the village to the
propriety and feasibility of forming
a Joint Stock Company for the man
ufacture of agricultural and me-
chanical implements. The capital
stock of said company to be raised
in the following manner, and con
sist of one hundred shares of one
hundred dollars each. Ten dollars
on each share to be paid when the
one hundred shares are taken, the
balance to be paid one dollar each
week until the one hundred dollars
per share is paid. The ten dollars
being guarantee of good faith OF
the subscriber. Give the employees
privilege of taking stock and hav.
ing the pay for the same deducted
from their pay each week, the first
ten dollars being paid when they
subscribe for the stock. By giving
each employee an opportunity to
own stock, of course all viii be i'll
terested in the welfare OF the com,
pany. The above method will give
a capital to commence business on IA
cash basis Immediately after the
stock is all taken. Let the direc-
tors of this company be the best
business men that the town affords,
provided that these same men deem
the plan feasible. | understad that
Il shop and power, suitable for the
can now be obtained in
the village at fair price, either
bought or leased for term of years
if not, steam power is not so expen-
sive but what it is used in many
places to advantage. | hope this
subject will receive a fair considera-
ton and if deemed practicable some
plan be adopted to form such a com
pany. In considering this subject
[ wish to remark that the wealth of
a community is just in proportion to
the number of persons ligitimately
and advantageously employed.

supplemental apportionmeut, which
II passed would enable tho State to
retain its three members. In this
unsettled condition of affairs, it was
clearly necessary to select all the
delegates by State convention. The
existing district committees then
concurred in tho arrangement and
formally endorsed the call.
We do not know that the State
committee at that time thought of
establishing Il new precedent; but
there is no reason that we can see
why it should not be established.
We vote for President by States
and not by districts. The work OF
selecting all the delegates can just
rs well be done in State convention,
and will save the trouble of three
district conventions, and with the
understanding, which is of course
implied, that the delegates will be
apportioned properly among the dis
tricis, there can be no objection to
this plan, 1t is the regular arrange
ment in many States, and is appar'
entity the one contemplated by the
National convention. We presume
the districts will generally acquiese
in this plan, and that it will become
the settled method, hereafter. Bur-

The Call for the State Convention.

The "precedent" alluded to by the
State Committee for nominating all
the delegates to the National Con-
ventiOn in the State Convention,
was that of four years ago. Before
1872, it was the usage to choose the
delegates from the districts by dis
trict conventions, and from the State
at large by State convention. But
in 1872, the situation was peculiar.
The new appOrtionmentOf members
of Congress had reduced the repre-
sentation of Vermont to two repre-
sentatives, but bill was in for a
