AT special meeting of the Foresters on
Tuesday evening arrangements were per-
fected for musical and literary entertain
ment and sumptuous repast to be served
to the members of the OwossO Court and
their families, at their hall on Wednesday
evening of next week. A soliciting COM
mittee, consisting of the Mrs. DIR. Arnold,
N. Geek and j. s. Haggart was appointed.
A grand time is anticipated.
The question of holding the republican
to the national convention on February %,
in Detroit, is causing considerable discus
sion about the state. We believe that the
convention should be held at least two
months later, and that it will be better for
the party. 1t is not necessary to draw re-
publicans to Detroit in this way to attend
the Michigan Club banquet-the speakers
for that occasion judging by the past, will
be sufficient to do this.
Ingham County News: Geo. a. Perry,
of Charlotte, called on us yesterday. He is
publisher of the Charlotte Tribune, re-
publican paper with the largest circulation
of any paper in the county, was clerk of
Eaton county for four years, is now secre-
tary of the law and order league of that
county, of which John NJ. Corbin, of Eaton
Rapids is president, and is prominent and
responsible man. In answer to our question
he said, Eyes, sir, prohibition in Eaton
county is a success. We are glad we have
it, and those who at first claimed it would
ruin us are rapidly changing their minds"

TO REPRESENT THE EIGHTH
DISTRICT.
Hon. VIM. M. Fitzpatrick will be Presented
to the Convention as the Shiawassee
County Candidate.

Shiawassee county as the banner republi-
can county in the eighth congressional dis
trict in all elections, small or great, mas CIV
en- without murmur a constant and enthu-
siastic support to the various candidates
from the counties comprising the district,
whether for nominations or elections and for
Offices of every nature. The county has
been looked to, not only on state elections,
but in congressional elections has on several
occasions been the means of keeping re-
:S;nblican representative In congress. While
the other parts Of the district have In vari'
Gus ways been rewarded for the support
given to candidates, this county has been
without reward, except the consciousness
that it has kept in the House with but rev
breaks representative of the principles
which had brought the country to its mag
nificent prosperity. This prosperity des-
troyed by the great leaders. of the demo-
cratic party, who have recently been SO ior-
chilly rebuked by their own people, must DO
brought back through republican admin
lstration in all branches. The state OF
Michigan, of which the eighth district is an
important part, is depended upon to keep
republican in the House, to assist in the
tremendous tasks before the grand old party
in the next few years.
No man lives in the district who can bet
ter assist in this work than the man whom
this county will present for the nomination
Hon. VIM. M. Fitzpatrick. This district
needs and has needed, since the days OF
Horr. brainy and popular representative
--one who has wide acquaintance ana one
fitted by practical experience for the posi-
ton which it is and has been possible Tor
an eighth district congressman to take:
Such man is Mr.. Fitzpatrick. In addition
to other qualifications he has that persist
ence, that hopeful disposition and that
cheering manner that rouses the sluggish
voter to action and which has in many III
stances saved Shiawassee county to the par
ty, at whose hands he now desires this pre-
ferment AS leader he is the best quail
fed man in this part of Michigan-without
enemies, with that cautious nature that pre-
vents unwise or hasty action, and with that
consideration for those whom he represents
that makes him their representative and not
a tool, an Office grabber nor dependent
upon some fanatical diversion to bring him
to notice.
With the belief that the district would be
honored by the nomination and election of
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, The TINES presents him
for consideration and may the result be for
the honor and glory of the only true Amsrl-
can party.
The result of the contest In 1895 will set
tie for years the condition in which this
great nation is to be and the presentation OF
candidate at this time Is made so that no
mistake may be made in this district

Michigan Advertising Pays.

One of the largest advertising agencies In
the west is that of Geo. M. Savage, of De
troit, which does an extensive business with
Michigan papers. The following unsolicited
letter speaks volumes for the papers of the
state and Mr.. Savage's Judgment In select
ing the list of papers to be used:
NEW YORK, Nov. Is, 1895.
Mr.. GEORGE M. SAVAGE, Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir: When we gave you our order
for Michigan papers we felt that the result
would not prove profitable. We take pleas
ure in stating that the investment has been
very satisfactory. Yours truly,
The WEEKLY RECORDER.

Still the deficit piles up. The total amount
for fifteen months is now $40, 49,, 044. The
average monthly deficit since the German
Wilson shoddy tariff went into force has
been $4,000, 900. If the sugar growers Of
the south had been paid the bounty voted
them by the last Congress, and the rebate
paid on alcohol withdrawn for manufacture
ing purposes,th the deficiency would amount TO
at least $40, 600. 900 more.
The saith congress assembled promptly at
noon on Monday. The House of Repressn-
tatives ratified the choice of the American
voters as expressed at the congressional
election in Nov, 1894. by placing Thomas
Bracket Reed, of Maine, In the speakers
chair. His nomination in the republican
caucus was by reclamation. With Reed to
guide the majority nothing but good bills
will pass the popular branch of Congress.
The reelection of Speaker Reed is COM
plete and deserved vindication of his work
in the 51st congress.
The official vote Of Ohio presents some
interesting and significant facts. In the
first place, the vote Is the largest ever cast
in the history Of the state, 1877, 406. Next,
Gen. Bushnell receives 1908 more votes
than were cast for the republican candidate
for secretary of state last year, but 6,201
less than the number cast for Gov. McKIn-
ley two years ago. And, thirdly. Campbell
polled 57,6l7 more votes than the demo-
cratic candidate for secretary Of state re-
ceived last year, but 69,599 less than the
number given to Cleveland In 1892.

IRRIGATION IN TIE SOUTH.

The Baltimore Herald of recent date
contains an interesting article on
Education in the South" and in adj
dition quotes ut some length from the
address of President Dreher, of Ro-
anoke College. delivered before the
Social Science Association at Saratoga
New York, not great while since, on
the subject of Education"
Our contemporary says that all in
all, the South has done nobly for the
cause of free education. In the South
it says the presence of the colored race
makes separate schools necessary, and
the expense of public education is
greatly increased thereby. In many
instances the problem is reduced to the
necessity for maintaining II double set
of schools on an income less than one
half that is placed at the disposal of ed
ucators in the North.
In other words, the New England and
Middle States combined. with an area
only two-ninths that of the Southern
States, and population greater by
only 92S, 500 have n taxable basis more
than three times as great as the South
possesses. a rate of taxation, there
fore, which would provide ten months
schooling for the children OF Massachu-
sets or New York would be sufficient
South only three months In the year.
All things being considered the South
is holding it's own.

PROGRESS or THE sOuTIE.

grain; last year the yield was COO, 000,-
600. The number of tons of coal mined
IN 1880 was but little over 100000 while
In 1894 1t was S00O0,0o0. The output of
pig iron in the South in 1880 was 3g7.
800 tons, and In 1894 100000 tons. The
value of the product of sawed and
