residence on North Hickory street to Mr.. j.
j. Cook. Mr.. Cook sold his Mason street
residence few months ago to Mr. VIM.
Detwiler, of Henderson, who moved to this
city, and he himself went west, not at all
certain that he would return to this city to

however and he has purchased another fine
residence which be will soon take possession
Of
John r. Mabin and his sister, Mrs. p. 8.
Beardsee, went to Pontiac Tuesday and
brought Mrs. Mabin back to Owosso with
them. Mrs. Mabin does not seem to have
improved much SO far as her mental con-
ditiOn is concerned and has become weaker
physically since she has been under treat
ment at the asylum. Mrs. Beardslee ex-
poets to remain with Mr.. and Mrs. Mabin at
their home 11S Elm street, indefinitely.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Mabin hope that
the return to her old home will have good
effect on Mrs. Mabin's health and that she
will improve very much.
Don't forget the gentlemen's supper at
the Baptist church next Wednesday evening.
II is to be a turkey supper and the men in
charge state that they have been bribing Mr..
Emery, the poultry dealer, for month or
more to select all the sleek fat young tur-
keys which he has been able to buy, espe-
cially for this supper. The men have
strictly ruled out of the contest for place on
their supper table all tough old goblers and
old hen turkeys which have passed out Of
their teens so that all who attend can feel
assured In advance of the tenderest of tur-
key meat.
The Current Topic Club held its regular
meeting Monday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. G. ID. Stewart. The subject of the
years program is Italy, and the papers
prepared for the meeting this week were of
course along that line of thought The prin-
cipal paper was cart and Architecture Of
Rome" we'll written and interesting
paper, prepared by Mrs. s. I. Van Dusen
and the other, taking one specimen
of the architecture of the city, "St. Peters
at Rome" The latter was prepared and
read by Mrs. b. g. Evans and was also an
instructive and interesting one.
A. e. Palmer has decided to close out his
jewelry business in this city and move to
Norvel, jackson county, where his aged
father resides. Mr.. Palmer has been a
good citizen for Owosso during the years of
his residence in this city, and has
served in public way as alderman
entire city as well. For the last few years
he has run a jewelry store on West Main
street, but for years he was one of the most
competent foremeD who ever was employed
in an Owosso factory and worked in that
capacity in the casket factory in this city
until trouble with his hearing made him de-
eide to get into different work. Owosso
will be sorry to lose Mr. Palmer and famil y
but wishes him the best of success in his
new home.
Patsy Cavanaugh figured in another law
suit in Justice McCaughna's court Saturday.
The only point worthy of special mention
about the case is however that he was
not the defendant this time but appear
ed rather In the garb of the complaining
witness Whether his friends should regard
| this as hopeful sign of his reform and
should entertain hopes of his complete re-
certain. At any rate Patsy objected very
seriously to the treatment which his brother
gave him the evening before when in little
brotherly discussion with bis brother Tom
hammer. The result showed clearly
enough that Pat had learned one lesson al
least and that was that the law took care oi
individuals who undertook to drive hammers
through other peoples heads and he made
immediate plans for securing the arrest Of
his brother. 1t cost Tom $3.50 after plead
ing guilty before Justice McCaughna. Ii
the meantime 1t will be in order for Patsy
friends to encourage him in the notion of 81
conducting himself as to Keep out of tn,
justice courts not only as defendant but alst
as complaining witness.
1t is certainly to be hoped that tn,
members of the Women's Club will receiv,
the hearty support which they deserve il
their efforts to provide series of three hiSf
high grade concerts for the Owosso publ,
during the coming winter. There Il
abundant room for the series without in the
least interfering with the old, well establish
ed, and popular Y. M. G. A. Star course
and the effect of such a course as the
WOmen's CLUB desires to give to Owosst
citizens, and will give to them IL they show
enough interest In the matter to guarante,
the sale Of the requisite number of tickets
cannot be but for the highest good of the
city. The piano recital given under the
auspices of the same club last year In the
Baptist church was complete success boil
In point of attendance, which exceeded the
most saDguine expectations of the member,
of the club, and In the evident satisfaction
and pleasure with which the differen
