met at Detroit, Monday by Asa Carpenter,

Owosso is nov paying off the laborers
who worked on the water works two years
ago, at so cents on the dollar, with no inter-
est on the dollar, with no interest on the
misunderstanding News. The above
quoted from the Evening News, and printed
in the COrunna Journal, has q flavor of
malice that our contemporary should not
have exhibited, especially when Represent
alive Johnson's wedding bill is pending in
the legislature. The effect may be that the
demure maiden, COrunna, may object to
such a spouse as Owosso and the union de-
clared of. In order to set ourselves right
in the affections of COrunna, Ovid, Chesa-
ming, and other towns we are making love
to, it should be said that OwossO City paid
the contractors who did the work and had
no more to do with paying the labOrers than
with any other contract that is let to the
lowest bidder.
