has purchased an interest in Stowell
& Heinz's Grocery Department, and
will hereafter be found behind the
at the old stand. jim does
not look natural anywhere else, and
his many friends and customers will
greet his return with pleasure. He
still holds an interest in the bar on
the Coahomo, but his health wont
admit of his standing night watches.
When in town give James a call.
Miss Kate NJ. O'Dare made the
Times Office a very pleasant call last
Thursday. Her mother, Mrs. II. G..
Odare. and family, she informed us,
would leave in few days for Tusco-

reside. Miss Kate ended her visit
by ordering the Times sent to her at
Tuscola for the coming year. We
wish Miss Kate pleasant trip, and
a full measure Of success and happi-
ness in her new home.

dollars. His assetts-a remnant of
a little stock of family groceries and
book accounts valued at s455,46.
The editor Of this paper, in com

got the button. Since then, every
body who could secure a gun has
been ducking.
