The Maple River Farmers Club.

The Maple River Farmers Club met with
Mr.. and Mrs. f. Sheldon Oct. 25. Meeting
was called to order by the president, and
opened by reading of scripture and prayer.
After the transaction of miscellaneous bust
ness the club adjourned to the dining-room
where all did justice to the good things set
before them.
After dinner the club was again called to
order and program opened with a vocal
duet by Miss Edith and Mr.. John Whean,
after which the gentleman's topic was taken
up. First topic for discussion, show shall
farmers sons and daughters be educated
and where can ii best be done," to be pre-
sented by ii. G. Payne and Roy Seeley.
Mr.. Payne was not present. Charles Cook
presented Mr.. Seeley's side of the subject,
Mr.. Secley not having time to prepare an
article. Mr.. Cook gave us very interest
ing talk. He thinks that education brings
out a persons genuine worth, 1t helps to
develop latent powers which would other
wise remain dormant, and helps to round
out and develop mankind morally as we'll as
mentally. K. j. Cook thinks we ought to
educate our boys and girls well and give
them the advantages OF our colleges.

except the necessary medicines which are
obtained at the nearest drugstore. To be-
come a patient it is only necessary to send
name and address, describe symptoms, and
minute directions as to diet, sanitary regu-
lations, and other advice will be sent
promptly.
Wherever DR.. Hartman is known the
name of Pe-ru-na has become household
word. 1t Is safe to say that no medicine in
existence is used by so many families as Pc
ru-na. This is especially true at this time
of the year, when the people are liable to
catarrhal affections, coughs, colds, la grippe,
etc. Pe-ru-na has cured more cases of
chronic catarrh than all other medicines
combined. The great majority of those
who use it buy the remedy themselves, use
il according TO directions, not even report
ing their case to DIR. Hartman until after
they are entirely cured. But now that a
limited number of cases can secure the per-
sonal attention of DIR. Hartman free of
charge. it is not to be wondered at that
many prefer to do so. Pe-ru-na never fails
to cure catarrh when properly used.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany of Columbus, Ohio are sending free
to any address a book on chronic catarrh
which gives the latest treatment for catarrh,
coughs, colds, la grippe, bronchitis, and all
other affections of head, throat and lungs.

The Argus and similar class of papers
in Michigan have been bowling in mean,
contemplate and narrow minded manner
about John T. Rich and urging the honest
republican voters not to support him. THE
TIMES is happy to say their ignorant, and.
at times, indecent editorials have had abso-
lutely no weight, and in fact have so dis
gusted The people that John t. Rich has the
largest majority ever given to governor in
Michigan; the largest majority ever given in
Owosso and Shiawassee county for governor.
Sheriff Jacobs is reelected by handsome
majority, although he ran nearly 100 behind
his ticket in Owosso, largely because the
Argus supported him. His vote all over the
county was lighter by reason of what that
paper has said since the Sullivan lynching.

Prejudices Rule.

The police investigation, as it was called,
held by the council Wednesday evening
brought out the fact that there are two fac
tions in the council, that by sprinkling of
stubbornness and prejudice they are unable
TO agree ON important questions. Old scores
are brought up occasionally and there is an
undercurrent of il-feelng that hampers the
proper conduct of city business. AS to the
police quarrel, Mr.. Barrisford received let
ter from Mr.. DeForest, from Adrian, and
very properly turned it over to the police
committee who were convinced that Mr..
Cady should be permanently laid of. Other
members were equally convinced that he
should be reinstated and the investigation
farce was, we believe, without weight. The
Waterman and the marshal may not be
friends. but IL this is allowed to interfere
with the proper discharge of their duties
neither ought to be on the force. We be-
lieve they both will do their duty in the flu
ture.

When Ponce-de-Leon sought to find
The fountain given back lost youth,
IL may be that he had in mind
That draught which seem to make truth

Surprising all by poets sung.
The draught meant is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, of course. 1t is most
potent reJuvenator of the weakened and de-
bllitated system. 1t drives out all poison,
all impurity, enriches the blood, and makes
the old and worn out feel young and vigor.

Topic No. 2, economy and its effcts upon
success In life, to be presented by Messrs
Sheldon and Armstrong. Mr.. Sheldon
wished to be excused, having been busy get
ting ready for the club. Mr.. Armstrong
thinks 1t is subject entitled to a great deal
of consideration, and that intelligent prac-
tice of true economy has greater influence
in determining our success IN life than many
of us are aware Of. Bert Cook thinks to
economy we owe all accumulation of wealth.
o. @. Moore agreed with the essayist that
financial success, and the practice of econ.
omy in that direction, did not include al
that went to make life successful. We
then listened to vocal duet by Chas
Whelan and daughter, which was enjoyed
by all present, after which Mrs. E. j. Cook
read a fine paper, entitled, "How can we
take life easy, or how can the wives of the
Maple River Farmers Club take life easy. ,
Mrs. Cook thinks that there are good many
who are not ready to follow their neighbor's
example. Some women say, ''there is not
mite of dust in my house" and make their
family sit in the kitchen. Mrs. Cook says,
Don't let us economize in loving words and
kind thoughts, and do not get in the habit
of not expressing our affections"
Miss Eta Ellis gave us a select reading,
entitled, "The Lightning Rod Dispenser, -
which was well rendered and enjoyed by
all; and think we will all look out for such
persons In the future. After a song by
Miss Edith Whelan the club adjourned to
meet with Mr.. and Mrs. Moore on Thanks
giving day.

Six Mo nths in New York City.

Powell, the Magician, in 1892, ap.
peared at the Eden Musee, one of the
most refined and fashionable places
of amusement in that3 great city, for
six consecutive months, to crowded
houses nightly. When it is known
that Prof. Powell gave each week of
his engagement there nearly com
p etc change of programme, some
idea may be had of the extensive rep
ertoire OF this great wonder worker.
His performances were Witnessed by
over 100000 people in New York
during that period and he was the talk
and amusement craze of the fashion
able amusement circles there. Dur
ing the annual convention Of the
Christian Endeavor Society, in New
York, in that year, it is estimated that
over 5000 delegates from that society
alone witnessed his performance. If
you see him once it is dollars to
doughnuts you will go again. There
is peculiar charm and fascination
about his entertainment that is irresis-
tible. Everything new. At Opera
