The cap social at the residence of
Rev. Mr.. Barnum on the 26th was a
grand success, fully GO couple par
took of ice cream, cake &c. The
net proceeds amounted to Sl2, to be
applied on the parsonage fund. No
doubt the paper cap in flaming col
ors attracted some, the ice cream
others, but one would think from
the proceeds of former socials, that
the great attraction on the 26th was
the marriage of the ,widower and
widow. Before dealing out the caps
dc. his reverence bound together for
better for worse Mr.. Washburn, of
Pontiac and Mrs. Wyckoff, of Fen
ton. The bride being relative of
Mrs. Barnum. Not one of the 100
socialists but bent listening ear to
the solemn ceremony. Some of the
more timid ones wondering if when
they get the chance they can stand
the shock of responding with the
usual number of yeas.

Hugh McPhee is buying large

The famous Thibodeau case has
not been decided yet but has been
laid over until the fall term of the
circuit court. Much agitation yet
prevails concerning it. The COM
munity has divided up and taken
sides-one portion believing i'll the
innocence of the accused while 9TH
ers believe him guilty. Two of our
citizens came rather near exchang-
ing blows on the subject a short
time ago. Detective Burwell is still
at work upon the case.
Our citizens have decided to cele-
brate the 4th of July at home this
