Owosso has large number Of
youthful miscreants who are on the
road TO the Reform School. Last
Sunday evening they disturbed the
prayer meeting at the Congregation

of the law should look after these
youthful offenders and see that pun
ishment is melted out to them.
The Il. & A. A. have made some
changes in their time schedule and
have also made two divisions Of their
line. The southern division will be
from Fast Saginaw 10 Toledo. dis
lance of 1873 miles, and the northern
division from Durand to Cadillac, I55
miles. From Cadillac branch will
be built to Frankfort; and another
branch from Ann Arbor to Detroit
will make this one of the most ex-
tensive lines in the state. These eX-
tensions will require additional men
and machinery in the car shops here.
The Saginaw Herald says that:
Durand, on the Chicago & Grand
Trunk railway, is about to receive
great boom. A. w. Wright, of
Alma, has purchased 200 acres of
land in that place and will erect
hotel, school house and large fac
tory there. The 200 acres will be
cut up into building lots and sold
out to actual settlers on long time.
The railroad faculties are excellent,
not the least important line being the

The people living about Durand pre-
dict that it will have an unusually
large growth in the next year.
