gan, every potato slyly winks its eye, every
cabbage shakes its head, every beet gets red
in the face, every onion is stronger, every
Oat field is shocked, rye strokes its beard,
corn sticks up its ears, and every foot of
land kicks. The horses even denounce
such a statement with neigh.
Gov. Mckinley is to speak at Jackson in
the afternoon of Oct. IL; in the evening at
Detroit; on the 10Th he will be at Ionia in

small cost.

An item recently appeared in THE TIMES
credited to the Ferton Courier relative to a
sensational affair at Byron. Concerning
the matter the Byron Herald says: In re-
lation to the recent affair in Byron where a
revolver was brought into use the user
alleges that he was hasty and incon-
siderate in doing what was done at the
time; that he had no intention of injuring
anyone; that he had no just cause then and
there for his conduct and never had; that
he has full confidence in the innocence of
all parties connected with the affair, and
deeply regrets that anything happened that
might give rise to injurious stat 3ments rela-
tive to the character of any person.
The funeral of j. ID. Evans occurred Sun
day afternoon at o'clock and the large con-
course of people that took part in the sad
services showed the respect in which they
held the deceased. Rev. w. T. WOodhouse,

sons having charge of the services at the
cemetery. Owosso Lodge f. and A. M.

her trying illness and death is deeply re-
GREETED by many. The funeral services
were held Wednesday at 8 o'clock from the
home, Rev. j. r. Reitzel officiating. The
services were largely attended.
Rev. J. r. Reitzel's sermon last Sunday
evening on Poker, pedro, and poverty"
was listened to by large and much inter-
ested audience and 1t certainly deserves the
praise received from all sides. Mr.. Reitzel
understood, as he does all subjects before
talking upon them, thoroughly the question
in hand, and it is probable that he could
have told many things that would have
struck nearer Owosso and its dives il he had
chosen. He gave the history of gambling
from the old Roman time when the games
were much higher. but not so numerous as
at present. Yet the result would in time be
the same IN any country and ruin and DESC
lation must become greater as the games be-
come more common. Gambling is con-
fession of weakness and waste, born in
ignorance and nurtured by enfeebed intel
Iect playing the powers and property Of man
away for pleasure" He advised an attempt
to increase interest in literary work, closer
application of laws against gambling and
general attempt to inforcc laws against all
games.
