Deer are reported to be more numerous in Maine this summer than. for years be- fore, says the Bangor WhiR. Many are seen near the settlements, while in the forests they are especially plenty. The greatest deer park in Maine, or in fact on the Atlantic slope, is in the vicinity of Nicatous Lake. A few ,weeks ego man and his wife, while canoeing from NIoa- tous Lake up Gasabeus stream to the lake of the latter name, saw twelve deer tn one forenoon. J. Darling, of Lowell. on a trip to Gasabeus a short time ago, saw eighteen deer in one day, Mir. Marrick, somewhat noted bear hunter, on a recent yiait to Garabeus, saw seven deer in the lake at one time. It may be remarked Ehat. deer bounding has been absolutely prohibited in Maine since 1888. z. ..is+ ',s'...f''

Obituary.

The following is the prelude to Pastor
Fishs sermon ut the funeral of Mrs. Saxton
and Mrs. Butler, on the 9th inst. at the
First Baptist Church, on the words found in
Corinthians, Is; 56-57-5S:
Mrs. Margaret Saxton was born in 1907
in the town of Hector. Tompldns County.
New York. She was converted in her youth
and lived her religion all the remainder of
her life. She died Feb. 9th, 1856, aged 20
years. She came west with her family about
the year 1889, and settled in the town of
Sandstone, Jackson County, Michigan AZ
ter about four years the family moved to
Reading, Hillsdale County. Some six years
afterward they came to this county and
settled few miles west of Paw Paw. She
was woman of good mind, and used il to
the best advantage. Seeing things as they
exist at a mere glance, her quick perception
and ready way Of speaking and acting, threw
her into the front rank of active women. So
prompt was she in decision and action, il
made her life appear almost IA one of impet-
uosity. Her convictions were all very strong
and her ideas well defined when her mind
was fully made mp. But we are reminded
that this is a double funeral. Mrs. Adelis
Saxton Butler was born i'm 1926 at the same
)lace as her mother, and made the same
changes of residence, following her 10 tn,

4 very pleasant social event transpire6 at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Greene of
Antwerp, on Monday evening, the 18th inst,
that being the twentieth anniversary Of their
marriage. Many friends and neighbors had
been invited, and, at half past four o'clock,
they began To arrive and kept steadily COM
ing for the next hour and half, at which
time the spacious psrlors were comfortably
filled by about sixty expectant guests. Re
grets and congratulations. accompanied by
tine presents, were received from friends
abroad who were unable to be in attendance.
All united in making the occasion IN enioya-
bile one. Good music, both vocal and in
strumental, was rendered by Miss Clara
HINES of Ypsilanti, and others who were
present. Supper being announced, Mr.. and
Mrs Greene were summoned to the sitting
room where, on table, was arranged full
set of luster band ware, O dozen silver knives
and beautiful hanging lamp. which, Rev.
w. j. Russell, in q few we'll chosen remarks.
presented TO the host and hostess in behalf
of the assembled guests. as tokens of their
high regard and esteem, to which they res
pended with greatful hearts and conducted
the company TO the dining room, where a
bountiful repast was In waiting, the tables
being spread with the choicest of viands.
At an early hour, after spending very
pleasant evening, the friends took their leave,
wishing their hospitable entertainers many
pleasant returns of their wedding day,
hoping and trusting that their lives may be,
In the future, as peaceful and happy as they
have been in the past

HORIZONTAL BILL has come to the front
again with his much vaunted tariff bill. 1t
ought to be entitled "A bill for the subver-
sion of domestic industries, and the upbuild-
ing of foreign factories Should the bill
become law it would prove doubly dis
astrous to the interests of the people of
Michigan. Lumber, timber, wood (unmsnu-
factured) lath, shingles, salt, iron and copper
ores are all placed on the free list. Such a
Law would close up the great saw and shingle
mills of our state, dry up our salt wells.
leave our iron and copper in the bowels of
the earth aud throw thousands upon thou
sands of laborers out of employment, enlarge
the army of tramps, increase crime and COM
pei the building of new prisons and poor
houses, not only in Michigan, but through
out the entire land. Not content with
aiming this deadly blow at the manufactur-
ing interests of the country, Mr.. Morrison
and his democratic coadjutors would also
strike down the agricultural interests ,of the
Nation by reducing or removing the duties
on wool. sugar, potatoes, grain, hay. etc.
And yet the democratic doughfaoes who
misrepresent Michigan in the lower house
of congress arc willing to support this mon
strous bill, to sacrifice the prosperity and
welfare of our state and to immediate it's in
dustries on the unholy altar of free-trade.
1t is fortunate indeed for The country that
one branch of the government still remains
under the control of the republican party,
and that republican senate stands in tie
way of the enactment of any such measure
of injustice and iniquity

THE BANQUET given 10y the Michigan Club
at Detroit last Monday evening, was one of
the greatest political and social events that
ever occurred within the borders of our
state. Among the distinguished guests who
honored the occasion by their presence were
Senators Logan, Evarts, Henderson, Palmer,
Conger, Governor Alger, Governor Foraker,
Ex-Representative Horn, and other noted
men. from our own and other states, besides
avast throng of republicans from all sections
of Michigan. This meeting, while partaking
largely of a social character, is of deep po-
litical significance and may be regarded as
the opening move of the campaign. Let the
ball be kept rolling until the election in No
vember next and victory will crown our
efforts and Michigan be taken from the list
of doubtful states and once more placed
where she belongs, in the very fore front of
the republican column.

choked utterances, as they have often asked
us-in our prayer meetings-to continue to
pray for them, as they themselves prayed for
them daily. God grant to lay up those
prayers as rose leaves in his book of remem-
