At Kirkwood night before last q social
and festival was given in the colored
Baptist church, winding up about half
past eleven o'clock. As the crowd was
getting ready to leave, Ed Kingry, of
this city, was standing by young
woman he had escorted there, when one
Webster said something to her which
displeased her, and Kingry told him he
could not insult any lady in his pres
ence. A row started at once, and quick.
ly assumed threatening proportions, nj.
most every man inrthe church seeming
to BIO involved in it. There were NUN.
Der of blows struck, but tho row was
finally quelled without any bloodshed.

For Representative.

| One OF the important duties devOlying
upon the electors of the county this fall will
be the election of someone to represent them
In the State house of representatives. Under
the new appOrtiOnment we will be entitled
to but one representative. The man chosen
to carry the banner of republicanism in this
cOLtest should be in every way above re-
prOach-a straightforward, manly man, one
who, If elected las he will be) will legislate
for the interests of the people. The nomi-
nee should be man of the people, easily
approached. He should be bright and Quick,
always alert to do for the interest of his
constituents. The republican party numbers
many such men, any of whom would be
worthy representatives.
The friends OF Chas. G. DeCamp, of
Durand, think he fills the above bill in every
way. Mr.. DeCamp is young maj, a native
of Clinton county, born in 1858; he was edu-
Gated In the school at Ovid and at Albion
College, being graduate of the classical
course. His earlier years were spent upon
his fathers farm. In 1882 he was superin-
tendent of the school at Ovid, since then he
has been engaged in business, for the last
five years at Durand i'm the hardware trade.
In whatever he has undertaken he has been
success. His own business bears witness
to this fact. AT Durand he has filled seve-
raj important local offices, always to the
satisfaction of the public.
Speaking of him in connection with this
nomination the Ovid Register Union says:
"lf nominated, Mr.. DeCamp will make
strong candidate before the people, and the
best wishes of his old friends and neighbors
go with him; and they can recommend him
to his new associates as capable and worthy
of the honor mentioned. Mr.. DeCamp's
candidacy would be especially strong among
his old neighbors in Mddlebury, SciOta and
Fairfield townships"
The Durand Express bears further testi-
mony: That he would make strong race
if nominated is generally conceded, and that
he would ably represent the very best inter-
ests of the county if elected is beyond ques-
tion. He is young and energetic; is one
of our most successful business men, has a
good education; his integrity and reliability
are A l."
Mr.. DeCamp is an earnest republican
worker. His first vote was cast in 1880 for
Garfield. AT that time he with 40 other
young men met and marched to the polls i'm
body (Mr. DeCamp leading with the stars
and stripes) every one of whom voted
straight republican ticket. He has always
cheerfully done whatever he could for his
party. 1t is upon such men as he is that we
like to see hOnOrs bestowed. Can the party
do better than to nominate Mr.. DeCamp for
rpDrpspntativep

PEOPLES Party.

The ''middle-of-the-road fellows held
their county convention at COrunna, Satur-
day, with about so delegates present. N.
G. Payne, of OwOssO, was elected chairman,
Bert Spaulding, of Woodruff, secretary.
The first blood shed was caused by the re-
port of the committee on resolutions. A
majority report presented by Frank Savage
endorsed Daniel Thompson as the candidate
for congress In this district; a minority re-
port presented by Jas. M. GoOdell endorsed
III. NJ. Youmans. Each gentleman spoke
In behalf Of his report-Savage having de-
cidedly the best of the argument-and the
majority report was adopted by an almost
unanimous vote, much to the disgust of the
Youman's crowd. The ticket nominated
was as follows.
epresentative-Frank Savage, OF Burns.
Judge of Probate-N. g. Payne, of OwOs-
so.
Sheriff-C. w. Sager, of Bennington.
Clerk-Bert Spaulding, of Woodruff.
Treasurer-Noah Joslin, of Burns.
Register of Deeds-Geo. Childs, of Sciotd
Prosecuting Attorney-A. +. Richards,

Circuit Court commissioners. Van

Coroners-Geo. Cosgrove, Bancroft, j. G.
Barlow, Woodruff.
Suryeyor-W. K. Payne, Owosso.
Before being nominated, A. K. Richards
was called before the convention to tel
where he stood. He read the Omaha plat
form and said he endorsed the principle:
therein set forth, but was very careful moi
to state who he would support for president
expecting to be endorsed at the democratic
convention today.

The Maple River Farmers Club.

Last winter when the Maple River
Farmers Club lost its president, g. M.
Reynolds, the opinion prevailed that the
club had seen its most prosperous days, for
it was evident that no other member could
possibly take his place. However, the last
six months have thoroughly developed the
fact that the club still stands on Il firm basis
The first meeting for the second term of
1892 was held August % at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Armstrong, aud more interesting
meeting would have been hard to find.
After the preliminary exercises, the main
topic for the day was opened by S. T..
Waugh on the subject of Thought on the
farm" The question was generally dis
cussed and the opinion prevailed that farm
ers, by virtue of their varied and hard work,
do much less thinking than their business
requires for the best results. This discus
sion was followed by paper on 1.-The
model wife," by IL. G. Payne. The subject
was considered too extraordinary for ordi-
nary prose, hence the essayist sought eX-
preston for his ideas in the most pleasing
forms of verse. This paper was followed
by an article on "The ideal housekeeper,"
by yMiss Addie McGilvra." The subject
was well presented and handled in thor
oughly practical manner. Music followed,
after which the formal part of the meeting
was adjourned for one month. Supper and
general good time followed, both of which
were enjoyed by everyone present.
