Drain Commissioner Carson pub
lished in this issue.
Attention is asked to the notice of
the Detroit Art Loan exhibition pub

We believe as much rain fell in
Owosso between Saturday noon and
Tuesday noon as ever fell in Michi-
gan in the same number of hours.
Mr.. Estey left Monday night via
the Michigan Central for a brief
business and pleasure trip to Colo
RADIO. He will probably be absent
about three weeks.
One of the necessities of Owosso is
lots of good, dry wood. Any person
having it for sale will find customers
in abundance by bringing it to
Owosso at this time.
An automatic saving machine has
just been completed at the shops of
the Bailey Co. for parties in Pennsyl-
vania, and another is nearly ready to
be shipped to the same state.
If you want to see neatly fitted
up hall and enjoy rich social treat,
attend the social to be given this eve
ming by the young ladies of Owosso
lodge 1. o. G.. T., over the National
bank.
J.W. Angel, wife and two children
and young lady residing with the
family of Rev. Geo. H. Wilson, left
on the Wednesday morning train to
join Brearley's last excursion to the
sea shore.
The Ready Helpers will furnish a

gational Chapel on Thursday evening
Of next week, the time of their Au.
gust meeting. 1t is expected forty
sons of Aesculapius will be in attend
ance.
Rev. Seth Reed left on Monday for
Petoskey. His pulpit will be filled
next Sunday by the Rev. Mr.. Strong,
of Perry. Mr.. S. is said to be fine
speaker. Let him be greeted with a
full house.
August Ist, Mr.. Geo. Hansman
will resume his old place with Osburn
& Sons. Well, no one of the "boys"
has more friends than George. and
he is a No. I clerk. Mr.. Will Nc.
Kenzie will take his place with Law
renee & Banister.
We had the pleasure of greeting
MIR. ]. L. Decker, for long time the
popular clerk at N. McBain's, now of
Rochester, N. Y, on Wednesday
morning. He is in Owosso for a
brief respite from business and to
visit at his old home.
Tuesday afternoon Morris Osborn
showed us head of wheat which he
said was, when taken from the field,
as erect as at any time during the
growth, in which nearly every kernel
was sprouted, some of the sprouts
being half an inch in length. We
sincerely hope there is not much OF
the crop in this section in that condi-
ton, and we think there is not.
We trust our people will not get
uneasy over the seeming delay in
perfecting the arrangements for the
T., A. A. & N. railroad. Mr.. Ashley
has corps of engineers at work
south of Owosso, and will be heard
from in the near future as to the
plans and specifications for pushing
the enterprise with the utmost vigor.
provided the expected amount Of
bonds are sold in Owosso and in
Shiawassee county. Of this there
need be no doubt.
We hear that Mr.. Mason, the aged
father of Ezra Mason, Esq, who re-
sides in this city, is suffering from
softening of the brain. The case is
said to be one that so far defes med.
ical treatment, and what makes the
matter still more distressing is the
fact that the hallucination which re.
suits takes the form of fear that he
is to be robbed of his property by
his children, who are among our best
known and most honored citizens
The case is sad one and the friend:
have the warm sympathy OF the pub
