Next Saturday, June Is, Hon. Aaron
Jones will address the patrons of hus-
bandry of this county and farmers gener-
ally, at a farmers rally and picnic in
Clark's grove Lawrence. Mr.. Jones is
master of the National grange, and those
who miss this opportunity of hearing
him will have cause to regret it. He has
received splendid recognition in the East
and the West, and his addresses have been
highly complimented. Every one is in
vited to join in the pleasures of the day
Vice President Patterson and Attorney
Kelley of the S. II. q E. have been in
town several days during the past week
As yet, there seems to be no movement
whatever in the direction of the fulfill
ment of their part of the bond contract
and there seems to be a growing feeling
of doubt as to whether they will carry
out their agreement. The Northerner
hopes all will come right in due time
but cannot avoid distrust of the dilatory
policy of the company.
f. Haviland, Lenawee county officer
came here last Friday and relieved
| Sheriff Lamberson of the custody of
Delos Frary alias Chas. O'Brien, who is
wanted in that county on charge of
stealing rig from an Adrian liveryman.
Frary was sent up from this county in
1881, by Judge Mills, for period of two
years, for horse stealing. He was again
arrested on a charge of larceny under
Prosecutor Breck's administration and
was held for trial, but the case was mol
pros'd by Mr.. Annabe for the reason
that the peoples witnesses had disap-
peared.
Last Saturday morning, Jay Rickard
had the misfortune to catch his left hand
in some of the machinery of the Briggs
mill, mangling it severely. He was
hurriedly taken. to the office of DR.. Hoyt
but bled very profusely while on the
way. At first examination, it looked as
though he would lose the whole or at
least portion of the hand. The cords
of the back of the hand were severed
These the physicians, Drs. Hoyt and
Maxwell, brought together again and
sewed up the wound, and expect to avoid
any amputation whatever. Mr.. Rickard
has worksd at milling for Is years, and
this is his first injury.

this village, Sunday morning, June u

his death was not unexpected. Deceased

n. Y, in 1884. At the age of q he came

sister to mourn his loss. The funeral
was held at the home, Tuesday afternoon
Last Friday evening Paw Paw grange
and invited guests held a memorial serv
ice for their deeply lamented brother, the
late A. III. Smith. The service was quite
informal. The opening solo by Mr.
Bruce Cummings was very sweet. A sketch
of his life and character was given by
Mr.. Jason Woodman. This was followed
by each one speaking word of remem
brance and fraternal regard. After each
had laid the "flower of their thought
upon the altar of love, the lecturer, Mrs
j. j. Woodman, offered a memorial ano
resolution which were unanimousl,
adopted, while the grange stood with
bowed heads. The service closed with an
