age in the form Of lumber.

turn game to be played in Owosso later on
The members of the Perry team think they

county, while the Owosso players think
that they can furnish them an eye opener
Rev. S. A. Northrop, ID. D., of Kansas
City, brother of Rev. Carey V. Northrop'
who preached in the Baptist church last
Sunday, will occupy the pulpit next sun
day. DIR. Northrup is one of the most elo-
quent speakers In the Baptist denomination,
and it is only by his happening to be spend
ing his vacation at Long Lake that he was
secured for next Sunday. Mrs. Northrup
has also consented to sing at the services.
Workmen have been busy all the week
putting down the foundation for the addi-
tons at the Estey factory. The foundation
for the additional engine which Is to run the
cutting department is laid. The engine
room is being enlarged and will be made
large enough to cover both engines. Work
is also progressing on the addition to the
cutting room and on the dry kiln, though
the latter is waiting to have one of the side
tracks moved out Of the way.
Rev. j. r. Retzel was greeted Sunday
morning at the Congregational church by a
fine audience. His sermon was a strong

morning and evening. His morning theme
will be: "Some of the Solid Rocks of Owes
so Society,"" In the evening ne will give
one of his popular and entertaing lectures.
Subject: 10000 Graduates" He will I'M
doubtedly have large audiences on both &C.
casions.
Those who are interested in the re-orga-
nization of the High School alumni should
begin again to bestir themselves. The
meeting held in July elected a set of officers,
provided for committee to draw up con-
stitution and bylaws, the committee to re-
port at the next meeting. The date TO
which the meeting adjourned was the last
Friday preceding the opening of school In
the city. AS school opens week from
Tuesday, this will bring the meeting of the
alumni next Friday evening, September 3
At last it begins to look as though Owosso
would have modern hose cart, or wagon,
| in place of the old reel machine which has
been used for long time and which was
out of date when 1t was bought by the city
The new wagon will be of the style in use
in all first class departments and while much
simpler in its construction it will carry more
hose, and IL the hose is properly placed In
| the box, will allow its being unloaded and
laid quicker and with greater safety to the
man who jumps off from the cart with the
end of the hose to connect with the hydrant
than the old machine ever did or could. By
using parts of the old machine the cost will
be quite reasonable.
