We find the following in the Ban
croft Advertiser, which we commend
to the careful attention of all our
citizens who are interested in the
Shiawassee county Agricultural Asso-
citation
"The Advertiser understands that
there is a scheme on foot to establish
Fair ground in Bancroft next sea-
son and that parties from Corunna
are interesting themselve towards the
furtherance of the project. The idea
will receive the necessary impetus
from the citizens of Bancroft and
vicinity"
THE TINES believes that but one
Agricultural Association can be made
success in any one county. That
the Shiawassee county Association
is an old, well organized society, has
beautiful grounds and that it is for
the interest of every agricultusist to
aid in building it up.

The Bancroft Advertiser says that
w. RI. Chapel has petition in cir
culation asking to be appointed
Postmaster at Corunna and that che
has secured the signatures of many of
the best men in the county to his
petition" Now it is all right for
Mr.. Chapel to be candidate for
Postmaster at Corunna, if he desires
the position and to get all the men
he can who receive their mail
through that Office to Sign his petition
and for the officials of the Republican
organization in the county, if they
feel at liberty to do so. But we re-
gard the position of Postmaster SUBJ
stantially local one and believe to
very large degree the wishes of
those who receive their mail through
any given Office should be consulted
in making an appointment by the
powers that be. We wish it distinct
ly understood that in saying this we
are not opposing the appointment of
Mr.. Chapel, who would doubtless
make an efficient officer, but stating a
general principle of action which to
us seems both right and proper.

Any one who hears people talk
will soon be convinced that it is not
everyone in this land of high civiliza-
ton who has outgrown the heather
tendency to believe in signs-in fact
it is very surprising that many most
senseless superstitions are SO deep
seated in the minds of many people
who on most things are very sensible.

The tidings that the existence of
the National Greenback Committee
is threatened by internal discussions
about its platform, for the future will
interest very few politians. That
humbug has been worked for all that

much for it is matter Of fact in our
Judgment.

Arrested for Burglary.

1t will be generally remembered that for
some time past there has been continued
series of petty burgaries committed in this
city to the great annoyance of our citizens,
though the value of the property taken
was not very large. and i'm some cases
quite insignificant. Yet the matter was
one that deeply concerned the good name
and fair fame of the city. The officers
have been carefully investigating any and
every trace that in any way gave clue to
the perpetrators of these Outrages. The
result was the arrest, on Tuesday evening,
of Fred Wilcox, Harry Frain and Herbert
Matlock, boys. two of whom are only 10
years of age and the other 90 The boys
are charged in these complaints with
breaking and entering, for the purpose of
larceny, in the night time. the stores of
DR.. G. p. Parkil,J J. @. Dingman and G..
G. Duff. At the examination held before
Justice Taylor, Frain and Wilcox plead
guilty and in default OF bail in the sum of
$1,000 each, were committed for trial in
the Circuit Court. Matlock pleads not
guilty, and we arc informed that both
Frain and Wilcox exonerate him. His
examination is set down for the 10 of jan
uary, and he is held in bonds on each oil
the three counts in the sum Of $500
Much sympathy is expressed for the
friends of these boys and for the boys them
selves. 1t is to be hoped that the lesson
will not be lost on our young men, but
that they may learn that there is no road
that leads TO either wealth or honor that
does not lead through fields of honest toll.
In these matters we understand others
are implicated and there may be other and
important developments in the near fu
ture, but as yet these charges rest on mere
rumor. that cannot be traced to any relia.

Two hundred and sixty.two years
ago last Friday the Pilgrim fathers
landed on Plymouth rock and then
and there planted the principles
which have made this country the
land of liberty, the home Of real
progress and enduring happiness.
And yet how few, how very few, of
the inhabitants of the United States
to-day realize the debt they owe those
Pilgrim fathers or who revere the
motives which actuated them in
their efforts to plant nation on the
sterile shores of Massachusetts, bay in
mid-winter, that in that nation men
might enjoy the right of self govern
ment and the privilege of worshiping
God according to the dictates of
their own conscience.

The Holly Advertiser &c. M.
Dewey, the able editor of The TINES,
Owosso, is a candidate for Sergeant
alarms of the State Senate and also
for the appointment of Postmaster at
Owosso. Mr.. Dewey has rendered
the Republicans of Shiawassee county
valuable service, both through his
excellent paper and by his speeches
and they should not fail to endeavor
TO award him either or both of these
appointments. He is not only EN-
titled to, but thoroughly competent
to fill both.
Thanks, Brother Slocum, but so
far as being candidate for the
Owosso post-office is concerned, it is
a decided mistake. A story without
foundation set in circulation by the
sore. headed editor of the Shiawassee
American, entirely without authority
from anybody. But we are a candi-
date for Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate and shall be under obligations
for any votes that may be given us
in the Republican enatorial caucus.

General Mabry, and it was understood at
the time that some ill feeling had grown
out of tho transaction. It il said that two
or three years ago General Mabry became
involved in debt and his personal property
was sold under a decree of the circuit
court. Major O'Conner was his security

This exasperated Mabry and led him to

Mabry was large landowner and was en-

SI2,5OO AWARDED TO AN AUrKESS
Tho American News Company Su1 ers d
lselalf OF LtDellOliS Dramatic
journal

lsehaif OF - Ltbellous Dramatic
journal.
Mrs. William Pertzel, an actress known
to tho public as Marie Prescott, has OBJ
tanned a. verdict of ,912, 500 against the
American news company in tho New
York superior court. A year ago last
summer u weekly dramatic journal callel
Nym CrinAle published an article accus-
ing her Of immoralities. This was
written by Eruest Harvier, > tho
atrical agent, who had figured in
journalism as editor OF another dra-
matte paper, the Mirror. He had been Mrs.
Pertze's manager during an improbable
professional tour, they had quarrellsd,
and she declared that his attack on her
reputation was for revenge. She brought
a suit for damages against the News COM
pany, holding them legally responsible as
circulators of Nym Crinkle. The trial be-
gan a week ago, and great deal of testi-
mony, of kind to be excluded from this
paper, was introduced to sustain and re-
fute Harvier's charges. The life of the act
ress was brought under scrutiny from the
time Of her marriage to Edward J. Burke,
in Kentucky, in 1869, to her recent union
Hith Pertzel. Havier was the principal
witness for the defens c, and his account
of his intimacy with the plaintiff was cir
cumstantial. Ardent love letters were
introduced as sent by her to him but she
swore that they were written to Pertzel,
and were surreptitiously taken from
her trunk by Harvier, to be in-
serted in envelopes which had en-
closed business notes to him.
AS the letters began with pct names
only, and bore no conclusive internal evil
dcnce to the identity Of the person adj
dressed, that question was tho ono prinoi-
paily fought over during the trial. She
asserted that Harvier made love to her,
but was invariably repulsed, and that she
simply employed him to get puffs Of her
acting printed in newspapers. He was
successful with the dramatic weeklies,
but met with no encouragement from the
dailies, and his relations with her resulted
in 4 lawsuit about money matters. g..
Judge Horace Russell discharged the
jury. The court room was crowded, as it
Mad been every day Of the trial. Mrs.
I'ertzel, a slender, graceful woman, with
brown hair, . bright rather than a pretty
face, toilet of exceeding neatness, and
tress, sat beside her husband, who was 50
seriously i'll from nervous excitement.
Her two sons were with her, too, and sew
eral sympathetic friends. Tie judge
told tho jurors that tho law held the ven
dor ola newspaper responsible ,,f for any
libel that it might contain that It rested
with tho defendant to prove the truthful-
ness Of the article about the plaintiff I; that
Hayvier's charges were not supported by
the'evidence !; and that tho only question
lsft to them was the assessment of the
damages. After an hour and a half of de-
liberation the jury agreed upon tho yer
dict of S12, 500. This was app!auded. Mrs.
Pertzel kissed her boys, shook hands with
hsr irisnlls and DEPARTED leaaipg on tho
arm Of her husband.
