One of the things most necessary 10 the

is that the officers III whose hands are
placed the public affairs, be homes men,
tried and true. In no particular does this

trusts which might easily be prevented.
He is the custodian of the county abs tract

defective titles of land would be an easy

Tried and Found Responsible.

What business man or farmer If he had
an employee in whom he placed implicit
trust, and whose business had long been
transacted by him in most thorough and
satisfactory manner would think of dis
charging him for an utterly untried man q?
This is the case with Shiawassee's County
Clerk, Frank E. Welch. No one COM
plains that he has not performed his work
well; no one thinks of questioning his ca
pability. Why. then, should he not be
elected to remain right where he is? That
he has done well no one can deny; that he
will do well if reelected is assured, but
that the man who opposes him might do
well is only matter of conjecture. Peo-
pie will look at this matter in q true bust
ness light. for in the administration of the
County Clerks affairs what matters it
whether a man be a Republican or Demo
crat if he only discharges his duties as he
should? We have all seen the disasters
entailed by Change" and to change the
office of the County Clerk would only be
unnecessary folly, and liable to result I'M
satisfactorily. Therefore, let all our tick

Water Works.
son.

The Common Council have de-
cided to again submit to the electors
of this city the question of the desira-
bility and ACCESSIBILITY of putting in
q first-class system of water works,
sufficient for good fire protection and
capable of supply an unlimited guam
tity of pure water for domestic pur-
poses. This question has been twice
voted:upon already, but the vote, so
close the last time, was at special
election, and only comparatively
light vote was cast, and now the ques-
ton is again submitted at a time
when there will probably be a full
vote cast and the sentiment of the
people thoroughly expressed.
AS at former elections, the question
is being extensively agitated, and we
hope our citizens may use every ave.
nue. of information possible in rela-
ton to it and be able to give an in
telligent vote. Much misunderstand-
ing has been caused by the lack of
definite information relative to cost.
Now, the report made to the Com
mon Council last spring shows that
the city can be fully covered for fire
protection for $4,000, and this
amount will include all pipes, ma
chinery and cost of putting same in
running order. DR.. Kedzie, than
whom there is no better authority in
the United States, pronounces the
water "free from contamination" and
the committee appointed by the
Council found can abundant supply"

For State senator-John Holbrock.

The people Of Shiawassee and Ingham
counties, met at Lansing, Oct. 6th and
unanimously placed in nomination. John
Holbrook, for State Senator. Right in the
face of large majority against the ticket
Mr.. Holbrook enters the canvass with an
honest determination to.supplant Shiawas-
sees misrepresentation at the State Capitol.
Mr.. Holbrook is a christian gentleman, an
honest, hard working, but intelligent farm
or. and the earnest champion of the rights
of labor, being a member of Ben Franklin
lodge X. of L.. at Lansing. He has been
township clerk and supervisor for the past
four years, is overscer of the State
Grange, and has held other important po-
sitions in the gift of the people. He is
one whom the people delight to honor,
knowing as they do that their trusts will
be well guarded.
Opposed to this upright man is, III. II.
Pulver. The convention which nomina
ted him fought all day against his nomina-
ton, and when at last he was declared the
nominee, half the convention rose and left
the room in disgust. A great deal might
be said against this moral leper who en-
deavors to pose as n reformer; but Mr..
Holbrook desires his friends to resort to
no Singing of mud, and asks by way of
support only the fulflllment of the Biblical
truth, that "the fittest will survive"

1t is we'll for those who plant large
market orchards to set the trees out by
the hundred after having made wise
and careful selection of sorts, and n
thorough preparation of the ground. 1t
will prove most convenient to set each
kind in row, extending across the Or
chard, or in two or more rows, so that
in gathering the spring wagon may be
driven directly onward without turning.
For home supply this systematic method
is less essential; but all newly-set or
chards, large or small, should be regis
tered, so that when the names are lost
they may be easily restored by referring
to the record. The small home orchard
should be annually replenished by a few
additions of new sorts, or of those which
have been previously omitted, but the
main object to be kept in view is to Sc
cure a regular succession of ripe fruit,
without break or interruption the year
through.

Amy Gordon in ''eirohe -Giroaa."

An audience that completely filed
the Teutonia Opera House gathered
last night TO witness the opening oil
weeks engagement by the Amy
Gordon Casino Opera Company.
"Girofe-Girofa" was very cleverly
done. Miss Gordon did the dual
title role in a very pleasing manner,
and considering the cold she was suf-
fering from, her execution of the mu.
sic, and particularly the VINE song,
was remarkable. There is q pecu-
liarly pleasant dash anc spirit in Miss
Gordon's work that wins her many
friends. Mr.. Morgan's "Marasquia"
was we'll sung and excellently acted.
The "Mourzouk" of Mr.. Carlberg
was as ferocious as much black beard
and grease paint. backed by blood
curdling voice could make it. The
"Don Bolero" of Harry II. Howard
will no doubt be very funny when he
gets up in the lines and music. He
gives excellent promise. Miss Lille
Aldrich was bright, pretty and pleas.
ant as 'Paquita," singing the bit that
fell to her share very cleverly. The
"Aurore" of Miss Webster was also
creditable piece of work, although a
little out of her line probably. All in
all the performance was very satisfac-
tory and the audience left the house
well pleased. -SaginawEvening Jour

"He never posted letter without cal
culating whether it would have to travel
on Sunday to reach its place of desti-

it till Monday morning Still further
did he carry his Puritanical observance.
Unnumbered times have known him
to receive important letters so late on
Saturday night that he would not
break his fixed resolution meyer to use
his eyes, which were very delicate, by

then rise with the sun to read them.
'ln the winter of '61-'62, while Jack
sons forces were at Winchester, he sent
q brigade to destroy tho canal leading
to Washington. The expedition proved
q failure; and he attributed it, in some
measure, to the fact that Sunday had
been needlessly trespasscd upon. So
when second expedition was planned
he determined there should be no Sab
bath-breaking connected with it, that
he could prevent. The advance was to
be made early on Monday morning.
On Saturday he ordered my husband
Colonel Preston, at that time on his
staff to see that the necessary powder
was in readiness The quarter-master
could not find sufficient quantity in
Winchester on Saturday, but during
Sunday it was procured. On Sunday
evening the fact in some way got to
Jackson's ears. At very early hour
on Monday he dispatched an officer to
Shephcrdstown for other powder, which
was brought. Then summoning Colo
mel Preston, he said very decisively:
Colonel, l desire that you will see
that the powder which is used for this
expedition is not the po,0der That a0as
