New Medical Firm.

DR.. Geo. J. Sweetland of Grand
Rapids has associated himself with DR..
Geo. w. Pringle of this place for the
practice of medicine. The firm name
will be Drs Pringle & Sweetland. This
change has been necessitated by the large
increasing practice Of DR.. Pringle and
upon looking about he decided that
he could not find better man to asso-
ciate himself with than DR.. Sweetland.
They will occupy the rooms in the new
Pollasky block formerly used by DIR.
Pringle and will be found there morn
ing or night. DR.. Sweetland is no
stranger to Alma people having spent
several weeks here in the interests of
athletics at the college last year. The
doctor acquired his medical education al
the University of New York and the
Grand Rapids Medical College. He

A Glimpse of London.

While in England recently ID. ID.
Whitesell thought it might be of inter-
est to some of the people in the United
States to learn of few facts concerning
London, the metropolis Of the world,
and accordingly jotted down few
items of note. Through the kindness OF
Mr.. Whitesell we publish few of the
most interesting items.
The population of London is 100000
end ,000,00 cigarettes are smoked, o.
900, 600 letters are posted and 81 ,200,0OO
of money expended each day during the
year. There are in the city II, 756 cabs
and 1000 omnibusses, the first omnibus
being started July 4, 1929. The people
of London devour every year 400, 900
oxen, 100000 sheep. 100000 calves,
700, 900 hogs, fowls innumerable and o.
800, 900 gallons of milk. There are 10000
Americans in London. The water drank
in the city each day would form lake
700 yards long, 200 yards wide, with a
uniform depth of six feet. The popu-
lation is increasing at the rate of los, 600
a year, every day 400 children are born.
Ten days of London fog casts 25,000
people on the sick bed, bat there are
aver 1000 doctors there to care for them
1t is estimated that l50 people are mar
ried every day in the year. 1t is calcu'
lated that if the children under the care
of the London school board were to joir
hands they would reach from London Il
Carlisle, distance Of 300 miles. Lon
don firms are said to spend $4,000, 900 {
week advertising. The circulation o
the evening papers is about 100000
morning papers 2,C00,00O.
The above is only partial list of tn
items Mr.. Whitesell collected, but lacl
of space compels us to omit the balance

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARSl
Columbus. Marshall and Northeastern
Railroad is Not a Bluff.
SURE THING. SAYS SEYMOUR.

Expensive Steam Shovels and the Like Not
Usually Employed in Bluff.
Those who entertain a doubt as to the
completion of the Columbus, Marshall
and Northeastern railroad from Mar
shall to Bay City might just as well
make up their minds that the road is a
sure thing. The whole thing has been
a mystery to most of our citizens, in fact
not more than dozen are on the inside
now, and it may be said that the whole
thing is still mystery. Critical ones
have remarked, don't it beat the devil. i"
Others have declared it fake, while the
more cautious have shaken their heads
in doubt.
The Statesman believes that the road
will be built through from Marshall to
Bay City without delay or parley and
this conclusion is arrived at after close
observation. At first the project carried
the aspect of huge bluff, but the work
had proceeded far enough several days
ago to answer all purposes of a bluff.
If bluff it is, the bluff is still going mer-
rily on with no immediate prospect of
being called. But it is not bluff. Con-
tractor John Seymour took hold of the
road with the firm and steadfast resolu-
ton of putting it through, and Mr. Sey-
mour has the reputation of carrying to
conclusion all that he undertakes He
has been up against many big contract
and lost his coin, with not a whimper
or thought of wavering. Other con-
tracts have yielded good profits. But
which ever way the outcome, everything
that Mr.. Seymour has undertaken has
never stopped half finished.
In the present case Mr.. Seymour pro-
fesses the utmost confidence in the future
of the road. He says it taps a good
country and that there is not the slight
est reason in the world why it shouldn't
prove paying line.
Asked if there was plenty of money
back of the project, Mr.. Seymour said
bilop W ds publlnB bOhOy INV WV
enterprise with the full expectation OF
getting it out that he had large force
of men employed and that the dear pub
| lie need not concern itself about the
men getting their pay.
AT the present date the contractor has
advanced nearly ten miles up the line
patching up the old grade and in few
days the entire roadbed from this city to
Olivet will be ready for the iron. Several
car loads of iron have arrived in this
city and several car loads more are
stored on the NJ g. h. r. sidetracks at
Battle Creek. The contractor is also IN
receipt of lot of bridge timber and a
steam shovel costing $4,000, has been
shipped him from Toledo. There is not
the slightest appearance of boy-pla IN
any quarter and if the road is not built
the Statesman may be set down as false
prophet Expensive material and con-
struction paraphernalia are not employed
every day for the sake of putting up a
bluff Marshall Statesman.
