of the year, and ditto for potatoes.

best fair in Central Michigan if the

A large number of people congre-
gated at the home of Perrin Craw-
ford, Tuesday evening, to witness the
opening of night blooming cereus.
The flower was an exceedingly beau
tiful one and its fragrance remarka-
BILE. An attempt to preserve it in al
cohol was made.
George Reynolds is again on the
streets. but his arm is in a sling.
Mrs. Chas Irwin. and daughter, of
indianapolis, are visiting relatives in

The people of Owosso with voice
of nearly 40 to I, voted to aid the
business interest of the city by the
issue of $4,000 in bonds for public
improvements, The improvements
have been pushed forward to compile
tion, according to the spirit and the
letter of the contract. Half the
promised aid has been paid, and
now three or four individuals step in
by an injunction to prevent the peo-
pie from doing as they agreed. Such
step is destructive of all the best
interests in the city and ought to be
frowned down by an indignant pub
lie, and the debt paid according to
agreement. In the interest of the
whole people no less the men
that have attempted to block the
wheels and destroy the city's pros
perity, than any other class of our
citizens. BY all that constitutes the
future prosperity of the city of Owos-
so we urge prompt action, and de-
mand of the Attorney General of
Michigan, that he let 60 his hold on
the prosperity of our city, and leave
its material interests in the hands of
the men we have elected as guardi-
ans of our veal. Nothing less than
that will be justice to the people of
Owosso, or honorable action on his
part.
