Hon. J. X. Boise, of Hillsdale Co., spoke
here last week Wednesday evening. Mr.
Boise Is an old acquaintance of mine and Is
very pleasant gentleman. Owing to GER
tain adverse circumstances his audience here
was not what It should have been. Evening
republican speakers fare slim here because
the republican voters live principally In the
country and the villagers are SO occupied i'm
the pursuits of the world, the flesh and the
devil that they will not turn out unless IL is
to hear some notable speaker. There is a
degree of apathy here In regard to politics
that BODIES no good to party lines.
For nearly twenty years this railroad sta
ton has required the services of two men,
but now the Superintendent has concluded
that one man must do the work of two with
out increase of pay. Mr.. Parshall, our gen.
tlemanly agent was so informed the other
day and he Immediately rendered his res
ignation. He said he was willing to do any
thing reasonable, but he couldn't stand that.
