Opera Hall. Give them crowded
house.
c. S. Williams has secured an ele-
vator and is now buying wheat.
This will give us down town mar
ket for shipping pnposes and ensure
farmers as much for their crops as
they can get at Ovid or any other
interior town in the state. Remem-
Der there is a sharp competition,
that both Brooks and Williams mean
business, and bring along your pro-
duce.
The Michigan Central Railroad
company are constructing fine depot
in Hastings, not at or near Thorn
apple lake, that is handsome build
ing, and a much needed public i'm
provement. The city has been taxed
thousands of dollars per year for the
past IL years to pay for the cupidity
of the director of the Grand River
Valley company through whose in
fuence the site for the old depot
was selected, and it was high time
change was made. The new depot
is situated IN the heart OF the city di-
rectly in the rear of the Hastings
House, the hotel of the city, and will
be ready for use on Nov. Isl. We
congratulate the people of Hastings
on their good fortune. Now ct them
push the new road project to a sue
cessful termination and the future
prosperity of that city is an assured
fact.
The Ladies' Library will be open
until further notice, from o'clock
until 4 P. NJ, Saturdays, also Saturday
evenings from 7 until half past eight,
TO accommodate those who cannot
come in the afternoon. The atten-
tion of the public is called to the ad-
vantage of the circulating library
connected with the Association, by
which books can be drawn on
library days for the small sum of five
cents a week.
There was slight accident at the
Junction on Wednesday evening.
1t appears that following the way
freight from the west was special
freight train. That on arriving at
the pinafore, the brakeman on the
way freight took in his signal lights
supposing that the train was to pass
at once on to the side track, but for
some reason the siding was delayed
and the engineer Of the sp.cial, Mr..
Voce, who by the by is reputed to be
an exceedingly cautious man, not
seeing any signal lights, and sup
posing the track all clear, ran for the
station, and ran into the rear of the
way freight, telescoping the passenger
car No. 81, smashing the platform,
tearing out the rear trucks and push
ing the engine under the oar until
the rear end rested on its top, de-
moralizing the smoke stack and tear
ing off the bell. Flat car No. 6IS,
loaded with lumber, jumped the
track at the crossing and badly dam
aged the platform just east of the
Eating House. This car is total
wreck. Fortunately no person was
injured.
THE TINES is in receipt of No. 5
and a, Vol. one, of The Evening
Telegram, published at Lansing, of
which Samuel F. Cook, so long the
popular and genial Deputy Railroad
Commissioner, is Editor and General
Manager. The copies which we have
seen are edited with marked ability
and the general makeup Of the Tele-
gram is decidedly attractive. An
outspoken, independent Republican
daily, ably and skilfully edited, at
the State Capital, was political ne
cessity, despite the fact thar the Ian
sing Republican is doing a noble
service for the city and the party,
and we fully believe in the hands of
Mr.. Cook, The Evening Telegrame
will be just such a journal. The
TINES wishes it unbounded prosperi-
ty, financially and politically.
