garding the pump service, under
which the company agrees to put in a
new pump at once OF a capacity OF 500
gallons per minute, additional to the
present pump. The city puts in con-

will be fully equal to take care of all.

years the city however having the
power to terminate it sooner If they
should desire TO put in a pumping

The Detroit News OF Saturday con-
tanned the following special from Olivet.
1.-The faculty have bestowed the CLASH
cal and scientific honors of the class of
'96 upon Miss Emma Hunt of Belding,
Mich, and Miss Anna Littlefield Of
Olivet, respectively. Miss Hunt is the
daughter OF Congregational minister.
Miss Littlefield, to whom fell the
scientific honors, is an Olivet girl. 1t
is remarkable fact that this is the
first time in over twenty years that a
young lady has carried off the first
class honors in Olivet.n All correct
except the statement that Miss Hunt
is the daughter of Congregational
minister. Alderman Hunt says he has
not aspired to become a gentleman of
the cloth as yet.
