Over 800 persons witnessed the Children's

fortably seated and the exercises commenced.

THE TINES does not believe that the man
lives who has done as much for the farmers
of the state as Robert Gibbons, the wide
awake and popular editor of the Michigan
Farmer. He has for years published
firstclass paper at a ridiculously low price,
exposed all manner of frauds, denounced
swindlers without fear, and in short been
true friend of the farmer. NOtwithstand-
ing all this, one William Graham, of Oak
land county in public letter accuses
Gibbons of being an enemy of the agricul-
turists of the State and says the farmers will
have no further use for him. Such stuff as
this shows Graham to be an idiot.
JAS NJ. Goodell has invented thill
coupler, upon which he has applied for
patent, which for simplicity, convenience
and durability, seems to be far superior to
anything yet devised. One having this
coupler can instantly attach or detach the
thills from the vehicle without removing a
nut or bolt, great convenience if one
wishes to change from thills to pole, it is
besides the most perfect anti-rattler, putting
thill in proper position produces a lever
bearing that renders rafting an impossible
ity. 1t needs to be seen to be fully appre-
ciated.-COrunna Journal.
