The temperance address deliv-

G. T. u, by Rev. ID. Hodskiss, of
Okemos, was candid, fair, able and
interesting expose of the present
condition Of the temperance work in
this state /; ard if any differed from
him in the conclusion he reached on
the questions Of license and taxation,
all must accord to him honesty in his
opinion and firmness in he express
sion of his convictions. The church
was well filed, and We doubt not the

pleasantly remembered by many of

Tally one again in favor ofspend-
ing your money at home. After re
ceiving bids from Lansing. Corunna,
Detroit and three local dealers, Bur.
bans and Loring gave their orders
this week to one of our local dealers
for the plate glas, for their two
stores, which amounted to about
$500. &. j. Stuart was the lucky
man and who we understand has fur.
nished all the plate glass that has
ever been put in in the city. with one
exception, aud that Detroit firm
furnished. This speaks well for MIR.
Stuart as he must certainly be a
sharp buyer TO secure such orders,
and farm ers, mechanics and build
ers should make note OF this for
ifhe can lead the trade in such large
orders, he certainly can in smaller
ones and anyone wanting goods in
his line will surely save money by
visiting his store and examining his
stock and getting prices, as he has
stock as large as any other two
stores together in Shiawassee county.
We would like 10 say Tore but as he
has promised us an ad. next week,
watch out for that.
