Supt. Mabin says the merchants are not
as prompt as heretofore in requesting space
in the Floral Hall for their exhibits at the
county fair. With this one exception,
which we confidently believe will be re-,
moved by our merchants before the fair
opens, the fair promises to excel any ever
held in this county. The merchants of
Owosso are not in the habit of allowing any
thing of public nature and benefit to fail
on account of their indifference, and the
fair next week should, and we believe will
receive their prompt and generous support.
Vernon Argus: Some time ago while
well was being cleaned out on the farm of
Scion Stone in the south part of this town
ship crock of butter was found in the mud
at the bottom. 1t transpires that about 81
years ago, Jefferson Smedley living on SAID
place had used the same well. The house
was burned and Mrs. Smedley persisted in !
the fire. This crock of butter was missed |
and was supposed 1t had been stolen, but |
now 1t is said that Mrs. Smedley had put |
1t in the well during the warm weather and |
neglected to mention it to the family. thus |
the discovery. After removing a layer of |
butter from the top of the crock, it looked |
as good as any, but was spoiled as close ex-
animation proved. 1t was quite conun-
terry.
