Saginaw Herald: All having business at
the county clerks Office will regret to learn
that Deputy County Clerk Frank Totten
has severed his connection with the Office.
On Jan. 1, 1891, he was appointed by County
Clerk Griffin and has continued in the posi-
ton until yesterday. He was always cour-
teous and obliging and has made host Of
friends. Shortly after assuming the duties
of the Office he commenced the study of law
and few weeks ago he was admitted to the
bar after having passed very creditable
examination. He has not fully decided
whether to at once enter upon the practice
of the law or seek other employment, but
whatever he does or wherever he goes he
will always bear the best wishes Of the
members of the bar and all those who have
had business with him during his service
as deputy county clerk.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of this city observed last Friday as a
memorial for Miss Jennie Cassiday, former
ly the National Superintendent of the
Flower Mission of the w. q. T. U. Miss
Cassiday was born June Q, 1910, and early in
life suffered an injury which confined her
to her bed during the remainder of her life.
An invalid herself, she thought of some
means of cheering the sick rooms of other
unfortunates, and the result was the organi-
cation under her direction, of the Flower
Mission of the w. G. Il. u, which has for
its object the supplying of bouquets and
flowers for sick rooms. Thousands of in
valids each year have cause to bless Jennie
Cassiday for setting in motion this good
work. She died February -, 1892, and
the Unions have decided to observe her
birthday as a memorial. At the meeting
last Friday, there were fifteen ladies from
Vernon, twelve from Corunna. and three
from Burton, besides large number from
our own city, completely filling the Y. M.
G. A. hall where the meeting was held.
Miss Reed, of Vernon, read paper on the
incidents in the life of Miss Cassiday, and
Mrs Ball, of Corunna, read memorial ad-
dress. The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. G. w. Livingtone, Superintendent of
the Flower Mission of the local Union.
Some beautiful floral emblems were brought
ina harp, pillow with the name Jennie
Cassday," and chair was draped, not with
sombre black, but with lovely flowers, the
seat was covered with pansies. AT the close
of the meeting, the ladies went to the Pro-
hibition club rooms, where seventy-three
ladies sat down to supper at one time.

ITS DEVELOPMENT AND IMPOR
LANCE. AN ITEM FOR THE
FARMERS.

A visit by our reporter among the ag-
ricultural implement dealers Of the city
proved them to be unusually active; and
selling more goods than for years past
This tends to show the prosperous con-
dition of our agricultural districts, and
although this has been an unusually
backward season the outlook for profit
able one by the farmers is certainly graf
flying. Among the firms specially no
ticeable by their activity, and the prepar-
alton for filling large orders was the we'll
known house of Hartshorn, Son q Grove
2Ol-203 +. Main Street, and an inspection
OF their ware-rOoms, accompanied by
Mr.. Grove proved quite interesting. On
the first floor we found farm wagons
from the most noted manufacturers of
this country; and variety of agricul-
tural implements. On the second floor
the display was bewildering here were
binders and mowers, plows, harrows, cul-
tivators, drills and everything it would
seem required by the farmers while on
the east side of this room is arranged in
tiers of shelves every conceivable part
or repairs, as they are called, of the var
ious machines sold by the firm. this form
ing an important feature of the business.
In the front portion of this room and &C.
cupying large space, is noticeable one
of the best displays of single and double,
light and heavy harnesses in the city,
likewise complete assortment of dust
ers, fly-nets, whips and horse millinery
of every description. Proceeding to the
third floor we found it devoted exclu-
sively to buggies, phaetons, Surveys, road
wagons, spring wagons, and carts of
standard make, and are well worth the
attention of buyers, as it is surprising
how cheap first class carriage can now
be purchased. Here was displayed at
least seventy-fve jobs, a stock and an as
sortment which we are safe in asserting
is not equaled by any house in Central
Michigan, and customers may always
rest assured that this firm can at all
times supply any demand. Retracing
our steps to the second floor and proceed
ing to the rear we were ushered into a
warehouse which has the dimensions of
30x110 feet. More implements, says Mr..
Grove. This however was unnecessary
as our eyes were wide open. What is
this peculiarly constructed machine :?
Why, he replies in surprise, hay loader.
And this? A hay tedder. We conclud-
ed at once that it was quite snap to be
a farmer nowadays. The others here ex-
hibited embraced mowers, binders, wind
mills, rakes, land rollers. Arranged in
stacks was sewer pipe, and drain tile of
various sizes, and of which this firm
handles large quantities. This business
is the oldest of its kind in this section
and was established in 1888, by Mr.. A.
