Mr.. Atwood will take his household goods
to Owosso Monday, and from there he will
90 to Traverse City, where he will meet his
daughters. who will drive overland to that
summer resort. They will spend couple
of months In Northern Michigan.
Mr.. AtwoOd's departure records the mi
grafton from TuscOla county of one of its
Oldest pioneers. 1t seems like a fairy story
to those who are younger residents here, to
have related the tales of the early days of
'54, when Mr.. Atwood came into the
Tuscola woods, and carried in his arms his
son Il. w. Atwood the present father of five
children, and at the same time, like Abra-
ham of old, drove his cattle before him. 1t
was nearly forty years ago when Mr.. At
wood settled i'm Clifford. He was elected
prosecuting attorney in this county five
terms, and later, his son was chosen to the
same position. Mr.. Atwood possesses those
sterling qualities which have made and de-
veloped our county and commonwealth. and
with regrets for his departure, the people of
Tuscola will wish much success in his future
home and business.-Caro Advertiser.

Sec'y Foster has gone back to the old plan
ofpublic debt statement, which Sec'y Man
ming changed in order to show the greatest
amount of surplus then in the treasury. The
old plan of debt statement to which Foster
returns, wipes out this apparent surplus;
hence the cry of bankrupt treasury.
Warrants drawn upon the treasury are
sometimes long time i'm reaching the dis
bursting officers, when paid at remote places,
as they are all over the country. Under the
the old plan of statement, now adopted by
Foster. as soon as warrant against the u.
S. treasurer is made, that amount is declared
drawn from the treasury, while as a matter
of fact the money remains there. Yet 1t is
also fact that the title to the same is out of
the hands of the treasury department. Sec
Manning changed this form so that the
amount of money then in the treasury was
declared to be that of the U. s. until it was
withdrawn. A change in bookkeeping is
responsible for the charge of bankrupt
treasury. The u. s. meets its obligations
as fast as they mature, and this no bankrup,
corporation can do. Nor has the u. 8. been
obliged to borrow money, as this can be done
only by Congressional enactment. A bank
rupt treasury has NO existence i'm fact, and
is told with intent to deceive.

One little bit of campaign thunder that the
Michigan Democracy will use next fall will
be that state taxation has been reduced be-
cause of democratic legislature. Then in
the next breath will follow an arraignment
of the ''billion dollar Congress-" But the
story they will never tell is that this same
Congress returned to Michigan $420, 900 of
refunded direct tax; and if it had not been
for this sum taxation in Michigan would not
have been reduced. The new election law
should have provided that campaign speak
ers and editorial writers should have been
put under oath to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth in political utterances.
Such law would make members of the An
nanias society ineligible to instruct" the
people, and take many of the democratic
stumpers from the field of political discus
sion. These doubtless in their own good
time and way, would find their calling as
patent medicine venders and street fakirs.
An educational campaign demands the call
ing down of the man who misrepresents

Worlds Fair Notes.

Twenty-fOur foreign nations have now
officially accepted the invitation to partci-
pate in the Exposition. Russia, Turkey,
Denmark, Persia and Egypt are among the
recent acquisitions.
Thus far an aggregate of S2,695,0 900 has
been appropriated by twenty-nine states for
representation at the Worlds Fair.
Tulare, California, proposes to furnish a
very novel exhibit for the Fair. From gil
gantic redwood tree, 800 feet high and 26
feet in diameter, will be cut two lengths As
feet long, and these will be transformed into
full-sized railway coaches by following out
the interior. The rough bark of the tree
will be left on the roof, and on the sides and
ends the natural wood will be left unpOlsh-
ed. The interior will be finished after the
style of Pullman cars. One will be buffet
dining car, with bath, barber-shop and
kitchen, and other sleeper, with Observa-
tion room. Ordinary car trucks will be put
underneath, and the men of Tulare, with
their wives and children, will make the trip
to Chicago in these strange coaches and live
i'm them while there. The intention is to
keep these cars in the Exposition grounds,
and to sell as mementos the portions of the
tree cut away in their construction.

there is no tin plate manufactured in the U.

is being sent out to the Republican newspa-
pers. THE TIMES presents its compliments

are manufacturing tin-plate: n. S. Taylor
Il Co., Philadelphia, U. S. tin-plate Co.,
Demler, Pa, Norton Bros, Chicago, st.
louis Stamping Co., ST. Louis and T. II.
Lautman & Co., APOLLO. Pa. THE TIMES
further states that Norton Bros, Chicago,
are making nearly all the tin plate they use
aud as manufacturers of tin cans they use
more tin plate than any other firm in the
world. Tin goods are no higher than before
the tariff was imposed. So it is seen that
the exporter now pays the duty. There is

G. A. r. encampment is producing quite a
stir in Detroit and state circles. The De-

insolentIy ask what you are going to do
about 1t and do not defend their action

persons who oppose the WINE banquet are
not the ones who subscribe money and hence
cannot properly object. The sentiment that

that it cannot be disregarded. In the mean
