name in the mddle) ought to take time
enough at least to sharpen his stub pen, so
that the postofiice clerks in his town will
know in what direction the letter wants to
be sent. AT o CLOCK THIS morning. u Ietter
was received by the city editor of the Jour
nal from the rotund Secretary, requesting
his presence at East Saginaw, at this
morning, to attend an editorial excursion
over the Flint and Pere Marquette's lines
in the interest Of the Northeastern Fair.

ter which was sent Wednesday morning,

crossroad than anything else. The city
editor didn't take in the excursion, but he
has the satisfaction of knowing that Fred
Lewis can't write little bit.-Flint
