DOWAGIAC LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
We had another nice, refreshing rain las
Sunday.
This is Just the sort OF weather to rejoice th'
hearts OF the farmers and make life pleasure
| to all who are not shut up in the "blue cham
bers, OF their own hearts, or SO worried owe
| the affairs of the country that they can't SCI
| the beautiful picture of Nature that the master
artist has painted and hung up before the
eyes free OF cost, aud which are ever shifting
ever changing, but their beauty never lessenine
as the unseen hand OF Him who laid the found
atoms of the deep; who holds the thunders anc
the lightnings in the hollow OF his hand, moves
the mighty canvas that one day will be rolled
away as a scroll to be unrolied again in the
great Eternity, retouched and beautifed by the
Divine band.
Our city wore a lively aspect last Saturday,
All the hitchipg places for teams we're occupi-
ed ; the stores and streets thronged with peo-
ple here and there a squad talking politics
now and then candidate button-holing suf-
fragist; business in all branches good; eighty
loads Of wheat marketed; produce Of all kinds
coming in in abundance at fair grices, and ev-
erything bearing the impress Of local and gen.
eral prosperity, with not single indication that
"change" Is needed in city, county, state or
general governmental affairs.
On Friday last the remains Of Mrs. Justus
Gage, who died at her sons in Detroit, on We'd
nesdsy of last week, were brought to this city
for interment in Riverside cemetery. They were
taken to the home OF Mrs. Roscoe Wheeler, a
niece Of Mrs. Gage, where few appropriate re-
marks were made by "Father' Watson.
Mr.. E. Adams, father OF Z. o. Adams, of this
city, died on Sunday morning, Sept. Goth, at the
age OF "a years. Funeral on Monday.
The Times, OF this city, ey IDENTITY winks at the
course taken by the Democrats on the evening
OF Mrs. Hazett's speech here. His first wink
is to censure The Republican for its comments
on the subject, saying that they were inexcusa-
bly, in error when they referred to the Demo-
cratic jubiatoa as an intended disturbance to
the Republican speech. Has The Times any
proof that can be relied upon that it was not,
any more than The Republican has that it was |?
Had there not been sufficient notice that Mrs.
II. was to be here on that evening and at that
hour? Were those who were engaged in the
49,
were they excusably so? His second wink was
in the question, "When would the rejoicers
demonstrate their Joy il it were not on the eve
Of reported victory?' We should think a
more appropriate time would be the evening
after such a report. II the reports were au-
thentic, and not flying, there was no need OF
taking them on the wing. An hour later their
rejoicing would have been just as appropriate
and just az acceptable to the Greenbackers. 1t
was not the mark of gentlemen from any party
or faction to thus knowingly disturb speaker,
and we would condemn it in the Republicans as
soon as the Democrats, or any other party
This is our kind OF independence" AS to
was mistaken it ought to say so. It was bad
enough after getting at the truth of the matter.
