The voters in the Downs district. or
as our correspondent terms it, the
| Perry district, have been in some ex
element for few days past because
of little difference os opinion in re-
gard to opening the school house for
religious purposes. 1t seems strange
that any person should object to open
ing a school house for such purpose
especially in locality in which there
is no church but it seems there are a
few of that class. In this particular
case the ladies turned out and won
the victory for religious services.
The stock of the Alma Driving Park
Association has been placed in the

shape depends upon the prompt
payment of the stock by its mem
bers. Let every citizen take hold and
assist the committee and make October
l3, ii and Is, three of the biggest days
ever in Gratiot county, which can only
he done by the united efforts Of all. No
three or four can do it but all must
give it lift.
