CARD OF THANKS.

Mr.. and Mrs. ARA Fowler would
return their thanks and heartfelt
gratitude to their many friends and
neighbors of Rush and Fairfield, for
their untiring and willing assistance
In caring for their loved ones during
the three long months in which their
three boys were sick. Freddie and
Henry, God in his providence,saw
fit to- take to himself. The sympathy
of friends does much to help them
bear their affection in the loss of
their darlings; only one child is left
to brighten their, now desolate,
home; there are two chairs that can
never be filled. We appreciate the
help and sympathywe have received,
~ ARA ANb ANNETTE Fowler.

With the beginning of the year the
Detroit Evening Journal congratu-
lates itself upon the marked success it
has achieved, and promises to give its
readers the benefit of every dollar it
earns for the next II months. The
Evening Journal aims to meet the
long.felt want for a clean, spicy and
enterprising newspaper 1t avoids
sensationalism, and all matters of an
objectional character are excluded
from its columns. This may safely be
said to be one of the great secrets of
its success, and as family paper it is
now a recognized favorite. 1t prints
more reading matter than any eve
ming paper in Detroit, and gives all
the'news of the day in an attractive
form. 1t is the slave OF no party,
and the servant Of no man or set of
men, but stands as thoroughly in
dependent journal, devoted only to
what it believes to be for the best in
terests of Michigan. .a

Hon. A. L. Williams and wife left here

Mr.. II. AFFORD, of the West Owosso
meat market, bought in Chicago last week
10 head of fine fat cattle, among which
were pair of young cows as nice as any
thing we have seen in long time. They
were pure bred Shorthorn, about years
old, and weighed about 1900 pounds
each. Mr.. ii. says one of them will dress
900 lbs, and we predict it will be as hand
some carcas of beef as was ever hung
up in any market in the city, and the 9th
ers that he bought were only I'd to these
heifers, and their meat is good enough for
any table. BY the way it is fact that
Mr.. AFFORD has market of which the
people of West Owosso have every reason
to be proud, and which is at the present
time filled with bountiful supply of all
kinds of meat, from which an epicurean
could make q pleasing selection.

IN MEMORIAM.

AT a meeting of Hazel Green
Grange, Jany. 10th 1884, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, 1t nath pleased God to
remove by death from the family of
our worthy brother A. L. Fowler, an
ever loving and dutiful son, and an
affectionate nephew, two model
young men in society, therefore be it
RESOLVED, BY the officers and
members of Hazel Green Grange
No. a54, that we tender to our worthy
brother and family our heartfelt SYM
pathy in this their terrible affection
and double bereavement; realizing
that their great loss is Heavens gain.
I'd, Fully realizing that our SYM
pathy and fraternal regard can do
but little for their consolation, we
can cheerfully commend them to one
above, our Heavenly Father, who
hath the power to bring comfort to
every afflicted heart.
sd, That while our greater SYM
pathy is for the family OF which they
were a part, We deeply mourn the
loss society has sustained, of which
they were honored members, and we
commend those among whom they
moved to emulate their christian like
deeds and examples as worthy of fol-
lowing.
4th, That copy of these resolu.
tons be forwarded to the bereaved
parents, also to THE TIMES, Owosso,
for publication, also, that they be-
come part of the records of our
Grange. F. G. SMITH,

NASBY'S PAPER.
Toledo Weekly Blade.
Circulation, $4,000.

This vast circulation is because the
BLADE is paper for the whole coun-
try. 1t is not thrown together, but
every line Of it is edited by compe-
tant hands. 1t is a complete epit-
ONE of the news of the week, and
whatsoever reads the BLADE carefully,
needs nothing else to be we'll in
formed as to what the world is doing.
Editorially the BLADE has made a
proud record. 1t has an opinion on
everything that effects the people of
the country, and expresses it boldly,
fearlessly and forcibly. AS good as
the BLADE has been in past years,
we shall make it better in the year
to come.
Among the features for the COM
ing year will be the regular "Nasby
Letters" two serials by Nasty, en-.
titled "Nasby in exile" and "Nasby
in the South" serial story by Err
nest Warren, entitled Court and
Camp" serial by John McElroy,
author of Andersonville, "Reminis-
cences of an army mule; serial
written for the BLADE by an Aus
trian nobleman; hesides our regular
departments, "Houehold Answers to
Correspondents" Camp Fire."
etc., etc. We publish all the news,
and latest corrected markets.
Politically, the BLADE will contin-
ue an exponent of true Republican
ism, blieving that the best interests
of the country demand the contin-
uance of its control in the hands of
the party that represents the highest
and most advanced ideas.
THE RUM POWER.
The BLADE will fight this monster
iniquity with all the power it poss-
esses, and in every way possible.
The BLADE holds the liquor traffic
to be a greater curse than slavery,
and a thousand times more dangerous
to the country.
We ask the cooperation Of every
wellwisher Of the Republic that our
work may be effective. We ask ev-
cry Republican in the United States
to assist in extending the circulation
of the BLADE, especially among those
of the Republican party who believe
as we DO in the necessity of pulver-
izing the Rum power. We want
the BLADE in as many families as
possible this Winter, that it may
be read before the excitement of
political campaign, giving it time for
its truths to take root in the minds
of its readers. e.1

running ten feet deep, and through the lat

widening. Point Pleasant and Hewitt Gap
levees both broke last night, and the water
reached the 1882 gauge at 10 o'clock. These
breaks, together with that in Hard Scrabble
levee already open, will cause general and
disastrous overflow in Tensas parish, and the
parishes south of it. Owing to these breaks,
the river has declined III inches. With the
river rising from Cairo down, no hope can be
felt of a crop this year.

Picayune says: Since daylight this morn
ing it has rained continually. The river is
now at the high water mark of 1882. The
Mulatto Point crevasse has been abandoned,
and no further effort will be made to close
the opening. West Barton Rouge suffers to
the extent of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Much uneasiness is felt concerning
the levees in this section. The rain will
doubtless continue during the night The
river has advanced several inches. The gen.
eral impression is that there will be trouble
in this neighborhood within the next "a hours.
The general complaint is made that the pilots
run boats too near the shore, causing dam
age to the levees.
