vanity of that unsubstantial, centeeI
world, Of whish We form part.

worldly success We need not describe.
The mischievous results show them

Mr.. ]. II. Wade, the Steward, is
also Il New York man, having been
born in Onondaga county, in 1885.
When he was nine years of age, his
parents moved to Michigan and To-
Gated in the township OF Litchield,
Hillsdale county. After remaining
on the farm four years he moved to
Jonesvllc, where he resided until
1852. In that year he went 10 Cali
fornia by the overland route, and
after spending four years there, he
returned TO engage in the mercan-
tile business. In 1872 he changed
his business for a large farm, since
which time, besides looking after his
farm interests, he has been occupied
as railroad agent and also with buy
ing grain, wool, and other farm pro-
ducts.
AS regards other matters, Mr..
Wade has always taken an interest
in, and been connected with, all
public enterprises that have been of
moment to Jonesville, having held at
some time or other nearly all the
local township Offices. Twice was
he elected President Of the village
and Supervisor Of the township, and
for sixteen years he has been mem
Der Of the school Board. Thus he
brings to his new work comprehen-
sive knowledge of affairs and high
reputation for integrity and efficiency.
Ann Arbor is fortunate in gazing
these two gentlemen, Mr.. Soule and
Mr.. Wade, as citizens.-Ann Arbor

tie time past these societies have been
united in q series of meetings each
evening under the direction of Mr..
Welker and Mr.. Austin. These meet

the weather has not been too severe
or stormy. Quite number have
expressed purpose Of changing their
former lives and beginning life of
prayer. Last Sabbath, Elder Welker
had occasion 10 reprove quite sharply
some youngsters who annoyed him
very much during his discourse.
This was not the first offence of the
kind and the speaker evidently had
the sympathy of the greater portion
of the congregation, several of whom
declared their purpose of mixing a
little law with the Gospel if neces-
sary to maintain proper decorum in
the house of God during religious
service. We young offenders take

New University Onlcers.

For the benefit of our readers inter-
ested in the affairs of the University
we have taken the pains to collect
the following facts concerning the
lives of the two new officers who this
week commence their work on the
campus
Mr.. Harrison III. Soule, the Treas.
urer, was born in Orleans county,
New York, and, an infant in arms,
came to. Michigan with his parents
in 1887. His father, Milo Soule,
settled in Calhoun county, where the
boy attended the district schools.
His literary education was completed
at Albion College, and his CONNER
cial education at the Commercial
College in Detroit. For the four
years following, he was book
keeper in the manufacturing estab-
lishment of Jackson & Wiley, in De-
troit, and during that time he mar
ried Mary, the daughter of the late
Charles Il. Parker, of Albion.
For a time he was in the Detroit
office of the NJ. G.. K. X, then
in business for himself at Port Huron
and Albion. Here, at the breaking
out Of the war, he engaged in raising
company, which was Co. !, 9th
Regiment of volunteers. Transferred
to the 9th Michigan Heavy Artillery,
he served in the department of the
Gulf during the entire war, was in all
the battles in which the regiment
served and was always at the front,
except when in the hospital on ac-
count of wounds. AT Baton Rouge
he was severely wounded, and now
is on the pension rolls of the u. s.
For his valor on the field he was
several times promoted and when the
war was over, he was mustered out
as Major commanding the regiment.

the calf at half what it would sell for
allowing the other half for raising it
the COW has more than paid for
her raising in the time that most
heifers would have been only bill
of expense. My family physician,
living in the village, bought half
blood Jersey COW, two years ago from
"the Squire" The COW had just
dropped her second calf and the doc
tor determined to raise it and TO
keep a careful account with both
cow and calf. The latter is now just
ready to come in fresh, and has cost
SsI.5o, and this includes So for the
string Of her calf. He has had to
buy everything she ate and his ac-
count is accurate. He has also kept
an account with the COW, charging
her with all her feed, and crediting
her with all the milk and butter,
whether sold or used in the family,
and in two years the credit side ex-
ceeds the debtor by SI4o. This COW
