MENTOR.
Town meeting is fast approaching.
The leading question in Mentor just
now is who will be our next supervisor.
Philip Cunningham went south Mon
day last. with his infant child, and
placed it in the hands of relatives in
Livingston county, this state.
We propose this week to give tho sec
ton house and all the grass widows in
Mentor rest, and not mentien them.
That book transaction caused consid-
able high talk between two distinguish
ed officials down this way, not long
since, we are told.
The Township Treasurer spent last
Thursday at the Office of tho Township
Clerk. A great many surmise that
polite al conspiracy of some kind was
the cause of said meeting. We would
warn the voters Of Mentor to look little
out, for these two political nabobs now,
about town meeting time, so.
Mrs. William Stone for some time past
quite out of health, we are glad to hear
Is considerable better.
Mrs. Frank Hart, whose sickness was
reported in previous items, who was re
moved from this township to PetOskey,
we are sorry to learn is very low, not
expected to live but short time.
Jas. Mulholland, who has been absent
for few weeks in Decatur, Van Buren,
county, is expected home soon, some
think he will be accompanied by blush
ing bride to cheer his lonely hours over
on the homestead, on section 10. Good
for Jas.
Wa want to state right here before we
forget it that Silver the Wolverine cor
respondent has taken his grip and gone.
That everlasting, irrepressible Silver
has gone. That the poor sinful flesh of
the Wolverinsites will no longer suffer
from his unmerciful prods. And now,
that he is gone let Justice, Reckless and
the rest write up his cussedness and get
even with him. When we find that he
has gone sure, to stay, we intend to show
him mp in big shape for abiding to us
as his chum.
About the latest real funny thing we
have to repor (next to Sidney Pike being
the Republican candidate for Supervisory
is Hayden Spencer for Highway Com
missioner. We think when Uncle Dave
hears of the ambition of his distinguish
nephew, 1t will cause his eyes to bulge
right out Of his head.
The fractional school matter between
Mentor and TuscorOra is finally settled.
A 0 indicated the total value of school
propertp paid for by taxation in said
district.
Every indication points to three tick
cts in Mentor this spring-Repulican.
Democrat, and Union, with chances from
present indications in favor of neither
one electing their entire ticket. Though
the Republicans appear more solid this
year than any year since the organlza-
tion of the party in this township, and
it would not surprise US II we all heard
something drop about town meeting
day.
Uncle William Briggs recieyed quite
a serious injury from fall not long
since. We learn however that he is
getting better. and will be out in few
days. n
Mrs. Horace Stokes has been in poor
health for some time. The people in
that part of Mentor miss her from among
them, as she has always been the life OF
all the social gatherings in her neigh
borhood. We all hope for her speedy re-
covery.
Miss Addie Brown, Of Decatur, Van
Buren, county this state. is visiting hel
aunt, Mrs. A. W, Eek, OF this township.
A. W. Roberts has removed temporar
lily from this township to Wolverine, VIZ
hope only for short time, for Mr.. Rob.
erts folks are The kind of people we wan1
to stay with us, when they come.
