NO ENNUI AT GUAM.
There VIII lie Plenty Of Games and
Books to Interest Our Marines
While There,

Officers and members of the marine
corps probably will not be troubled
greatly with ennui at their far-away
post in the middle of the Pacific. The
novelty Of life at the isolated little gov
eminent station will keep them con-
tented forseveral months There will be
many things TO see and hear. To guard
against discomfort and WEAKNESS of
spirit the government will have care
for the amusement of its servants prac-
tically cut off, as they will be, from
communication with home and coun-
try. Of course there will be swim
ming and boating, but the sports
which the men enjoyed at home they
will also enjoy at the island Of Guam.
For outdoor sports the government
WEI see that there is supply Of balls
and bats, footballs and tennis racquets
and balls. During the long days when
the weather outside is inclement and
there are no drills the men will be able
to play checkers, chess cards and 9th
er indoor games. Col. Perciyal c. Pope
has secured a great supply Of such out
fits. says the Boston Transcript.
There will be men who do not care
for sports and games. For such as
these there will be well-stocked IL
brary. The government has provided
a large stock Of books. In addition,
there are many thousand volumes of
books and periodicals given privately.
Some time ago Col. Pope made re-
quest through the papers for dona-
tons of books and light reading mat
ter. The response was immediate, and
so generous that Col. Pope now re
quests that no more be sent to the
navy yard, as il will be impossible to
take them 70 Guam. From Boston and
vicinity came over 1000 volumes and
periodicals, and New York sent al
most as many more.

Interesting To Farmers of Gratiot Co


Farmers who intend to grow sugar beets
in the future should try their best to grow
some this year for several reasons.
lst II they grow a small acreage this year
they will be one year ahead of their neigh
bors who does not grow them this year and
they will know that much more about Che
business.
2nd There is not particle OF danger
about farmer getting left in any way or
manner ii he tends to his beets properly as
they are always a sure crop and the price is
guaranteed before the farmer puts the seed
into the soil
3rd The Alma Sugar Co. are placing
large amount OF acreage outside of Gratiot
Go. and in making contracts another year
their old customers will naturally have the
preference and il their old costumers wish
to increase their acreage they will get all of
the beets they can handle without taking in
any new customers another year. The
business men OF the towns in the counties
around are subscribing, all who have farms

Of Co. wrote contracts for &c. acres in STAN

acres written in Mt. Pleasant in single

outside counties grasp lot of money that
really should belong to the Gratiot county

time one of the prominent business
blocks of the city was total wreck.
The block was occupied by two

to storage. Nothing was saved. The
origin of the fire remains a mystery, as
no one lived in the block.

was very heavy, was partly covered by

that had become dormant sent up dele
gates and were reinstated. Oae other
Sub Alliance that had not been repre-
sented recently, had four of it's mem
bers present.
The following officers were elected

J. T. Paschal; Executive Committee,
J. T. Paschal, J. J Jenkins, r. Fl.

J j. Jenkins was elected delegate to
the State Alliance and J, e. Spence
was elected alternate.
Following the discussion of the
Barnes proposition to amend the Ali
ance constitution so as to make Office

resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That Chatham County

spirited and all the time harmonious
discussion of Alliance principle by go
nearly all those present.
