We rejoice that ex-President Davis
is improving. God grant that this
pure, honorable, heroic, able son Of
the South may be yet spared many a
year? The South venerates the mar.
No man is 80 revered, so honored, so
beloved as the venerable statesman
who was at the head of the Confed>
crate Government. Long may he
abide with usI 1t Is very painful to
know that he is embarrassed aud
needs help. The South will must

There ls some discussion In the
papers about who Stanley, the great
explorer, is. He was bore IN Wales,
but came to this country and settled
In the South. When the war broke
out he joined the confederate army,
bat afterwards deserted to the North.
Whenever we hear Of Stanley we
think of that part of his life.

date of November 6, 1855:

Fire Alarm System.

Ed. TDIEs.-I notice in the Press this
week that the electric fire alarm system is
completed and in first-class working order.
That is all very nice, but does not satisfy
the inquiring mind as to why nearly all the
boxes were placed SO far from the central
part Of town, and it seems to be the duty of
some one to explain to the taxpayers why
things were thusly. In the first place it
would be very foolish to place the boxes
where they could be tempered with by any
of Peck's boys, and they should be lin case
of fire in the central part of town. where
they would not be destroyed-two good
reasons for placing them as they are-and l
understand arrangements have been made
with Messrs. Evans & Deveraux to keep
horses under saddle so that the boxes can
be reached quickly day or night. One word
in regards to the triangle alarm. As l un-
derstand it, it is not designed to alarm the
people, but simply to alarm the team so
they will be quiet while being hooked to
carts or other apparatus. 1t seems queer to
me that people do not look at all these
efforts to improve our city in rational way
and stop finding fault with the officials in
charge. If it is not stopped it will not be
long before you cannot get even a cigarette
smoker to accept an Office. 1t makes one
sad to contemplate. SQUIBAB.

owosso's Boom.

The TINES is preparing a complete bust
ness resume of our thriving city.
In August 1885, THE TIMES ever awake
to the interests of Owosso, at considerable
expense published complete resume of the
commercial interests of the city, an enter
prise which was thoroughly appreciated by
our merchants and manufacturers. In the
years intervening up to the present time our
little city has made remarkable progress.
Business in all departments has rapidly
developed. Our city has grown in popula-
ton and wealth. Her manufacturing inter-
ests have extended at a surprising rate.
Her commercial affairs have assumed many
METROPOLITAN airs and her business men
without exception are all enjoying an era
of deserved prosperity. Owosso is in the
midst of a healthy, substantial boom and
the work of development has but fairly be-
gun. At this date she ranks among the
leading manufacturing cities in the state,
and with existing prospects none other than
a bright future is before her. The TIMES
will undertake in its next weeks issue to
publish complete business review of the
city, and for this purpose the service of an
experienced writer has been called into re-
QUESTION. 1t is desired to represent every
merchant and manufacturer in the issue,
and all will be called upon in due season.
An extraordinary large edition will be pub
ljsbed and distributed I'm the most advan-
tageous way.
