w. c. T. u. Convention.

In spite of the bilious looking programs
that heralded the county w. G. T. u. con-
vention held at Corunna, 1t proved an inter-
esting and instructive meeting. There were
nearly so regular delegates, and the number
of visiting delegates would swell the num-
Der to perhaps rs people.
The convention opened Wednesday morn
ing with the usual routine of business. The
address Of welcome and response, If not
the regulation ''glad to see you" and a
''thank you kindly, lady fair" were still
well grounded temperance papers.
The interesting feature of the afternoon
was the paper on Franchise" by the district
president, Mrs. T. f. w. Adams, of Chesa-
ming. Mrs. Adams has a droll way of put
ting the question that is exceedingly good,
and even if you are not for franchise you
will think you are when she gets through
talking.
The question box in charge of Miss Ward,
of Laingsburg, brought out many bright
discussions. The gold cure business was
discussed at some length and at last the
ladies became snarled up i'm the topic of
saloon bonds. There is nothing that so
quickly arouses discussion as something
which verges upon politics and party B,eas-
ures.
In the evening Rev. e. B. Bancroft gave
an address, which to those who were not
weary with the afternoon exercises, was both
interesting and profitable.
Thursday was full of good papers and in
teresting talks. Election of officers resulted
as follows: Pres, Mrs. c. V. Waldron,
Perry; Sec., Mrs. G. p. ParlSill, Owosso;
Treas, Mrs. Frank Convs, Bancroft; Cor.
Sec., Mrs. Frank Greenman, Owosso.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the whole convention was the "Y hour" at
$3.50 Thursday, There were in attendance
six Us from Laingsburg and sixteen from
Owosso. Mrs. A. e. Ferry presided. Very
helpful papers were read and interesting re-
ports given. The ''hour' closed by the
young ladies singing "Y Bells" The young
women have the time certainly, and if only
they have the inclination to do the world
some good there is field of operation in
which no one is so powerful as she herself.

New features turning up every day in the
Strong bank failure and valuable informa-
ton obtained. The creditors are more
numerous than was at first anticipated. Re-
ceiver Henry not in it.
1t appears that Strong has been securing
the country for months soliciting deposits
at five, six and as high as seven per cent on
short time, and those who bit are not few.
A farmer living three miles south of here
and heavy loser, entertained Strong on
one occasion from eight o'clock in the
morning until after five at night and when
he left he took $1,000 Of the mans money at
six per cent. The reporter had by chance
the opportunity of seeing a slip entry made
by Mr.. Strong before he left and as it may
be of some benefit to the creditors l will
give it as 1t appears. 1t may be some salts
faction to know in what way your money
has been invested. The entry reads as fol-
lows:
''This ticket represents bills discount No.
952 and balance drawn for loss in the phos-
phate deal that my friends refused to help
me out and make fortunes with. Out
SO, 277.52."
1t seems that when Mr.. Strong took his
| trip south this winter benefting his health,
breathing the fragrance of or ange blossoms
and the invigorating zephyrs of the gulf
tanning his cheek, he had the opportunity
| to invest in a phosphate speculation at
Tampa, Florida, which of course was shown
up to him as possessing millions. He was
not long in completing arrangements where
by he would become stockholder. 1t was
hard for him to return and resume the old
occupation as banker. He was discon-
tented and about arranging the disposal of
his business here and take his family and go
to the land of perpetual summer, but to his
sorrow came word that if In the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 was not forthcoming he would
lose all he had previously invested, which
appears to have been about $4,000. The
longest possible time was set at April 1st
for him to have the money there, but was
extended by his request until May 1st. He
disappeared in the early morning hours of
April Goth. This may prove valuable
clue If w. M. Strong is the man you are in
want of. The assignment held by Mr..
Henry proved illegal.
Fire was discovered at 1890 last Wednes-
day night in back room of Jack Floods
saloon but was extinguished after doing
about $500 damage to building and stock.
For time things looked rather unfavorable
for the town as the building where the fire
originated is situated i'm the center of the
old frame row which has weathered the
storms for fifteen years and had this burned
the town would certainly have been in dan
ger, but once more the chemical, or squirt
gun, as it is called, came in play, and we
can safely say saved the town. Origin of
fire supposed to haye been incendiary.
A Bancroft physician prescribed dose
for woman here that didn't just strike the
spot, and when he called again she opened
up on him first with can Of fruit and fol-
lowing with brick she saw him safely Off
the premises with broomstick.
