Congregational Ladies Scored Success.

When the ladies of the Congregation
al Social Union start in to advertise an
excursion to Detroit they do Sc with an
idea of advertising it as thoroughly as
possible rather than the idea of spend
ing as little money as possible, and this
week Wednesday they once more
reaped their reward for the thorough
ness of their work.
The train left Owosso al seven o'clock
with about three hundred fifty people
on board. 1t took on over hundred
more at Corunna, number at Vernon
and about fifty at Durand, leaving the
latter station with five hundred twelve
passengers on board.
The ladies naturally are considerably
elated over the result of their venture,
and they are entitled to no small
amount of credit for the manner in
which they carried out the affair
Agent Wykes, of the Grand Trunk, was
also highly gratiied at the result Of the
excursion, which he pronounced the
incest and cleanest which ever left the
city. 1t is needless to say that the
patrons were more than pleased with
the service provided by the railroad
and with the management from start to
finish

We have rain nearly every day. The

generally rains about ten or fifteen min

There is something singular about the

Burton Farmsrs' Club.


On the Sd day of August our club was
entertained at the pleasant and tasteful.
ly arranged home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
K. Merrill In the absence of our presi-
dent and chaplain the club was called
to order by vice president, c. Woodin,
and devotional exercises were conduct
ed by Fred Love. The reporter was
present but failed to take notes, and
will only ask for small space in the
columns of The TIMES. Music for the
day was furnished by our hostess, and
was listened to with much pleasure.
Among the questions to be answered,
(Which needs the most Improvement,
the farm, or the farmer" was discussed
at some length, some of the ideas sug.
gested being, if the farmer needs i'm
provement his farm will show it. The
farmer should first be improved, then
improvement of the farm will be likely
to follow.
els there a difference between talk
ing to say something, and saying some.
thing to talks" The answer was, there
is great difference. 1t is all right to
talk to say something, but good many
times people say something for the sake
of talking, which might better have
been left unsaid. Sometimes, too, peo-
pie talk without saying anything, which
probably does no particular harm, and
seems almost necessary at times.
After the questions we're disposed OF
we adjourned for dinner, which was
nicely served on small tables.
There having been no July meeting it
was necessary to attend to our semi
annual election of officers, which was
done with the following result: Presi-
dent, Fred Love; vice president, James
Martin; secretary, Mrs. H. Mason; re.
porter, Mrs. Myrtle Merrill; correspond
ing secretary, Miss s. Guilford.
The ladies who were on the program
for this meeting are to come prepared
next time. Subject, "The Model Farm
er." The gentlemen's subject will also
be up for discussion: "How do the for
eign markets affect the prices of our
farm products" Another subject for
discussion will be, lis it best for girls
on the farm to learn to shoot, fish, and
handle horse"
One of the boys read selection en-
titled, "The Boyless Town." and
Chauncey Woodin gave us recitation.
After instrumental music and song
by Mrs. Merrill, we adjourned to meet

day which once or twice seemed in
danger of becoming almost a riot.
Marshal Lovett, Sheriff Scougale and
Under Sheriff Crane were on the scene
and largely through their influence the
employees of the street railway COM
pany and those of the paving company
were kept from actually coming to
blows. As it was Mr.. Crane was struck
once during the scrimmage.
The trouble began at noon when
President Ralph, of the street railway
company, ordered his men to take a
car through to the Michigan Central
station instead of stopping at the corner
of Washington and Main streets, as
they have been doing since the track
was torn up for paving Several
barrels of tar were between the newly
laid rails at the intersection of Ball and
Main streets and these were rolled out
of the way by some of the street car
employees before the car started. BY
the time the car reached the place,
however, the barrels had been rolled
back on the track by the employees of
the paving company under direction of
Foreman Young who was temporarily
in charge of the work during the
absence of Superintendent Robbins. A
lively dialogue ensued between Young
and Ralph, the former insisting that
the cars should ~not be run over that
part of the track before the newly laid
cement between the ties and rails had
had time to set. A lively tussle then
took place between the employees of
each, but Mr. Ralph finally ordered
back the car.
At three o'clock the same thing was
again attempted and the tussle became
warmer than before. 1t was this time
that Under Sheriff Crane pushed aside
young negro In the employ of the
paving company and was himself struck
by another. Finally at the sheriff.
order Young called his men off and the
car was allowed to pass, and have been
constantly passing since then.
Opinions differed quite materially as
to the rights of the two contendinp
parties and the duties of the officers in
the case but the general impression
