In our report of the ratification meeting,
the name of L. A. Crane was accidentally
omitted from the list of speakers who ad-
dressed the meeting. The omission was due

printed list from which our report was made.

Mr. Lawrence Martin of Antwerp has, no
doubt, the finest cherry orchard in Western

an oak club, came back and struck his wife
three or four blows. This killed her. He
then got his razor and cut his own hands
and other parts of his body, took his money
and hid it under the straw stack, broke the
window catch and raised it, and then gave
an alarm by firing his gun out of the win
dow, thinking that when the neighbors ar

However, the mud was too dry to stick, and
in the preliminary caucus held by the county
delegates at Detroit, our would-be delegate
received all of ttCO votes, while some of the
gentlemen interviewed were just perverse
enough to reveal the true inwardness of the
situation. Some of the old notices, such as
Murder will out" THE best-lad plans,
etc." occur to Us. Wouldn't it be well, Ed.
to 'paste them in your scrap-book," or "pin
them in your hat?
