AS noticed last week, e. c. Ken
drick has returned to his old home in
Nebraska. His friends here had
hoped that on the completion of his
college course he would return here
to reside, but the fates have decided
otherwise. He will take with him
the respect and kindest regards of
this community, with their hope for
his success.
The Farmers Pic Mic last Thurs
day, was an unqualified success.
About two hundred were present,
and enjoyed such a dinner as only
the wives Of Crawford County can
provide. Tie day was passed in the
most enjoyable sociality that can be
imagined. There was no formality
and no tiresome speech making.
The young folks, and some not so
young, enjoyed the dancing and all
were happy.
Every old soldier Ia this section
has been, Is now and will continue
to be on a foraging expedition until
October 9Th, when Marvin Post q. A.
r. will give chicken supper at
their hall. There will be fried chick
en-, stewed chicken, chicken pie and
chicken pot-pie, such as your mother
used to make. They have got all
the coops In the county located, and
guarantee that there will be enough
for all. The proceeds will apply on
payment for the hall.
Come and get acquainted. On Fri
day evening, September Goth, a re-
ception will be given at the M. E.
Church t. the teachers Of the public
schools, and to those who have but
recently moved into our community.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all citizens, regardless of church
name, to come and get acquainted
one with another, and to welcome
the new faces In our schools and the
strangers who are among us.
o. w. wILLITT,
Pastor M. e. Church.
Fred Havens has severed his con-
nection with Bates & Co.'S store, and
shaken the dust of Grayling from
his feet, and gone with E G. Ken.
drick to Dawes County, Nebraska, to
see what he can find. It is not de.
cided whether he will turn cowboy
or enter some other line of business,
but whatever he may do or wherever
he may 60 he will carry with him the
best wishes Of all who know him.
The most OF his life has been passed
Ia this village, and he has grown
from nice boy into strong clean
man, well equipped by education and
association for any position he may
aspire to. He will be greatly missed
and his going regretted.
As we 60 to press we learn of a
most contemptable piece of work
the. gas committed at the residence
Of @ l.. Carpenter, last night, while
he lay on sick bed. Some one with
the heart OF louise and the soul of
a gnat went there and wrecked his
three bee hives, killed a lot OF the
bees and left them In sdch shape
that Mr.. Carpenter does not thirk
he can save them. We hope the
culprits will be apprehended, and
would suggest as a ft punishment
for person 50 mean that they he
staked 10 front of the hive and let
the bees punish them. --Roscommon

J. P. Allen always talk entertainingly
about the matters which happened here
in the early seventies. We believe that he
once embodied many Of these incidents in
bank verse and read it to the association.
We think one of the chief characters he
somewhat graphically described was Judge
Greenway, who was a justice of the peace
in Wichita township. The judge had spent
nearly all his life on the frontier and was
a man possessing many strong points in
his general makeup. At one time he was
holding court out in the grove which was
on his place just south OF town. William
Baldwin. who formerly owned the block
Of ground on which the Sedgwick block
IS located, and who lived there for num-
Der OF years, was attorney for the plain
tiff, and George Washington Salisbury
appeared for the defendant. There never
was any good feeling between Salisbury
and Baldwin, although there was some
thing, or least ought to have been, which
should have created a bond OF sympathy
between them; they were both afflicted
with the asthma, which seemed frequently

they were trying a lawsuit On this par
