The weather has been extremely
hot and dry this week-just the kind
to suit the farmers as it ensures the
safe gathering of their hay crop,
which is of excellent quality but light
in quantity.
We note that six new houses are
being constructed in Owosso not
noted in our previous list, which
makes the total number so far this
season IIo.

enumeration, and was not at all sorry
the job was done.

that place, was in Owosso Wednes-
day. He is a brother-in-law of A.

meeting will be held at the Congre.

The old D. Lyon Thorp store that
has stood for so many years on the
corner of Washington and Exchange
streets, has disappeared, having been
taken down by Mr.. Burhans. The
block which stands in its place to-
day is fair representation of the
progress of Owosso since the days in
which the old Thorp store was con-
sidered the pride of the business
blocks in the village of Owosso.

the last sad (1) act of the enumera-

job was completed.
Pressure on our time, the great
rush of job work, and the necessity
of putting our paper to press a day
in advance, has prevented the pub
LEGATION of several articles of interest
this week.
We ask the attention of the public
to the mastery grafton of Hon.
Sylvester Larned, the "silver tongued

enthusiasm by an appreciative audi
ence, and will more than repay the
most careful reading, even by those
who were fortunate enough to hear
il. But it speaks for itself and no
words of ours can add to its merits.
