fifty years ago to-day-Lucius b. Coy
and Ruth Walker were married at
Clarendon, Orleans county, n. Y, by
Elder Martin Coleman of the First
Baptist church. Twenty mine years of
their married life were passed in the
state of New York, when they came TO
Michigan and settled in this village i'm

Next week our streets will be i'm
darkness, unless the old lamps are
resorted to. The Electric Company is

work is in progress. With the additional
power thus obtained the company will
be able to supply not only the arc lights
but all the commercial lights they can
get. Let our people be patient with
the company, remembering that it has
had many obstacles to overcome i'm
order To give us such service rs we
require.

which occurs next Tuesday evening,
April 21, though the last is not expected
to be the least of the pleasurable even
ngs afforded by the Ladies' Lecture
for such is Miss Thomp-
sons versatility, that she is equally at
home erimpersonating dignified
divine, a roguish child, or Biddy in the
kitchen. Her remarkable change of
voice and facial expression, heightened
by appropriate costumes, makes all
ler impersOnations SO realistic that it is
said one almost forgets she is acting,
md all of her characters are either
typical or classical repr, sc ltations.
