THREE RIVERS. Mich. Feb. at is a

Prof. Hewitt will, IN all probability,
decline the appointment offered him by
the governor and the superintendent of

what He Sees and Hears During His
Travels.
Will the work on the new water works
go ahead 2' is question that has been re-
peatedly asked since Council awarded the
contract to Quinn & Kerns. The question
has been put to me and I am free to say that
the indications are that the work will go
ahead The contract to be made will be
conditional one conditional in this respect
that should the borough be permanently re-
strained from proceeding with the project
through no cause Of its own, the contractors
are not to call upon the borough for damages
for breach Of contract. Messrs. Quinn &
Kerns seem content with the condition and
have hinted that they will proceed with the
work as soon as the contract is signed and
sealed. And Mr.. Quinn has intimated that
pending and prospective suits have no terrors
for him. why" said he the other day
"Mr. Reber tells me that he now has con-
tract under the same terms and there are
eight suits pending"

l notice in one of our Ashland exchanges
an amusing story told Of small boy Of that
place. He had been visiting at Shenandoah,
and there, for the first time, saw Uncle
Sans gray uniformed letter carriers. He
came home ambitious to become letter
carrier himself, and secretly secured bundle
of old love letters that his mother had
treasured since courtship days, and dis
tributed them from house to house through
the neighborhood. The sequel is not related,
but the probability is that this bright youth
has no further aspirations in the letter line,

If the Republicans support their ticket
there is no doubt of its success on the sth of
November next. The Prohibition candi-
date, Mr.. Patterson is making a vigorous
fight, but why Republican should desert
his party nominee and support him is beyond
human comprehension. Every Republican
who intends to cast vote for Patterson
simply helps to defeat the Republican candi-
date. The nominee of the Republicans is a
man of unquestionable ability and is by fan
the ablest of all the candidates for this
Office Iri- Weekly Record.
