Bancroft Commercial: Prof. a. j. Nc
Euen has resigned his position as superin-
tendent of Bancroft schools and accepted
like position in Wayne. Mr.. McEuen has
the past two years and we regret to lose him.
Geo. w. Burk. of Perry, will pay 500
for selling liquor without license. His
case was brought up in the circuit court
Tuesday and after taking up most of the
day with witnesses for the prosecution, the
accused changed his plea to guilty and was
fined and the fine paid and Burk discharged.
/ On Saturday evening, May 25th, an elocu-
tionary entertainment will be given at the
Maple River church, by Miss Maude Gates,
assisted by the Aeolian male quartette, both
of Owosso, and also by home musical talent.
Those attending will enjoy a rare treat at a
small expense. The proceeds will be de-
voted to the M. r. :hoir. All are invited.
The sale of the T., A. A. 81 N. M. Ry.
made few weeks ago did not receive the
sanction of the court and second sale will
be ordered. The sale to Martin of New
York for 100000 was decided to be way
below the value, and proper price will
probably how be received. Judges Taft,
Kicks and Severns considered the case to-
gether, Judge Taft writing the decision.
Mrs. Fred Hitler, of Middlebury, was
brought before Justice Byerly on Monday
charged with cruelty beating her step
daughters. She was released on $500 bail
furnished by Geo. F. Arnold to appear May
80 for examination. Affidavits show that
the woman has bad temper and is at
times hard to get along with. Mrs. Hitler
claims that her arrest is the result of spite
against her by her sister-in-law whom she
would not allow to have anything to do with
the Hilef children.
The case of the people VS.. A. johnson
for false pretenses is being tried in the
circuit court johnson is charged by John
ScOutten, of Laingsburg, with giving him
spurious orders on the township of Nestor,
Roscommon county, in payment for horses.
These orders johnson endorsed but now
refuses to make good. Nestor township in
1892, when the orders were drawn, con-
tanned but few people and a large number
of orders in excess of the limit were drawn.
The case will be holly contested.
Pastor w. B. Matteson of the Baptist
church talked most eloquently last Sunday
evening of the evils of child labor in this
and other countries. Until few years ago
very few children were employed in this
country, but lately the number has been
rapidly increasing until now thousands of
men are out of work in consequence thereof,
while insane asylums, poor houses, and
institutions for blind, deaf, dumb, and
Predetermined are rapidly becoming overrun.
From every standpoint the matter is curse;
throwing men out of employment, making
the race physically degenerate, and morally
and Intellectually running the millions Of
those employed. The talk = was highly in
teresting and to the point.
Rev. Seth Reed, one of the best known
and loved preachers of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Michigan, was with the
Owosso First M. 4. church last Sunday and
it was season of rejoicing among the men,
bers, especially the older ones. When THE
TINES started in Owosso, Rev. Reed had
just taken hold of the church, when it was
ready to close its doors, and by his earnest
work and powerful influence put the society
on the road to prosperity and gave the i'm
petus that has made it the best attended
church in the city. Rey. Reed conducted
service in Owosso nearly fifty years ago and
has seen Owosso and the Methodist church
in all its various joys and sorrows, its times
of revival and depression.
Geo. B. Sargent, Of east Mason street,
died at his home Monday morning of lung
trouble. Mr.. Sargent had been a resident
of Owosso for several years and was well
and favOraby known. He has been an
employee in the factories here and until a
few months ago had never been sick since
childhood, had lost almost no time from
work. The trouble which carried him
away could have been stopped If he had
consulted physician at the outset but he
thought 1t would work off. The deceased
was born in New York state in 1S4S and
moved to Corunna when 81 years of age,
marrying in that city Miss Julia Jackson.
He leaves wife, three sons and two daugh-
tiers to mourn their loss. Two years ago
he Joined the Ancient Order of United
