Hummer.
The last week before Owosso's first an.
nual street fair occurs is now nearly over
and the streets are now beginning to show
signs of the transformation to which they
are to be subjected. The real transforma
tion will not however begin until early
Monday morning as the outfit is not ex-
pected from Cadillac before Sunday night.
The part of the city to be used will be
Washington street from Mason, west Ex-
change street and west Main street, the
Grst part of the display being the exhibit
prepared under the directions of Company
G in the middle Of Mason and Washington
streets. This will be the spot occupied by
the Spanish blockhouse which will be
erected according to the plans of the boys
Who have seen them and who would have
taken one of them If they and the lieuten-
ant commanding them could have got the
desired permission. In Mason street east
of the blockhouse the company will put up
their shelter or pup" tents and a typical
company street as it is in the field will be
seen. And the boys will be there too.
The first booth south of the blockhouse
will be given up to the juvenile department
while the ones just outside the Washington
