its meetings IN good shape, Hazel Green
Grange is making steady and healthy
growth, another new member being
initiated Friday evening.
1t was decided to have the question

and it is expected that at the next one

A New Implement Firm

An important business change was effect
ed yesterday when w. e. Payne completed
the arrangements whereby he will do busi-
ness under the firm name of w. X. Payne
q Co., the company being represented by
none else than George M. Grahame the hus-
Ting but ever courteous block agent
for the Mccormick harvester company.
Both men are, however, too well and favor
ably known to Shiawassee county, and
even neighboring, farmers to need any in
PRODUCTION through THE TIMES.
Mr. Payne has met and made many
friends since he began doing business at the
corner of Main and Water streets, and Mr..
Grahame In his position of block agent has
gained an acquaintance quite as extensive
and valuable. He IL, moreover, we'll posted
Ons the other details of the firms BUSH
ness. Mr.. Grahame enters into the firm
with the consent of the Mccormick com
pany and will still represent 1t as block
agent, but will naturally hereafter be inter-
ested In all lines Of the new company's bust
ness, where before he was interested only
in the Mccormick harvesters. Naturally
again, the firm Is more than ever convinced
that In the Mccormick line of harvesters it
has good thing, the best thing made In the
line of harvesting machinery, and will push
this line harder than ever. At the same
time 1t should be remembered that the firm
carries a full line of agricultural imple-
ments, wagons, road wagons, top buggies,
Surveys, farm pumps, harvesters, blankets
and robes-in fact anything which should
De found In q tirst class agricultural imple-
ment store.
Ii there are any TIMES readers who do
not know the reputation for reliability
which both these gentlemen enjoy, The
TIMES would simply say that there are DO
more agreeable men to do business with
anywhere than Messrs. Payne and Grahame,
that II knows them to DO thoroughly ~ la
biz, and more than that, that the stock tney
carry Is all right and will be found as they
represent IL. The TIMES wishes the new
firm the best OF succes.

New Rural Delivery Route.

The farmers re siding on both the east
and west river roads north of this city
and those in practically all of the central
and northern part of New Haven town.
ship are apparently about as fortunate
in one respect at least as those of any
locality in the country, for free rural
delivery route has been laid out in that
territory this week, the route has been
recommended and carrier appointed,
while 1t Is more than likely that the
middle of the coming month will see
the service actually begun, as the ap-
proval OF Mr.. F. M. Dice who is in
charge OF the work of the special rural
delivery agents in this part of the United
States Is already practically assured.
A number of members of the North
Owosso Farmers club took the matter
up actively few weeks ago and Messrs.
Z. o. Place and j. U. Miller procured
petition largely signed, and intrusted
the same to the editor of The TIMES be.
fore his recent trip to Washington.
The latter secured the assistance of
Congressman Fordney who made .
vigorous effort to get the route estab.
lished at once. something he was helped
in doing through the friendship between
both gentlemen and Mr.. Dice who
promptly sent out one of the best special
agents OF the rural free delivery service,
Mr.. Alfred Hammer, of Chicago, to lay
out the route and appoint the carrier.
Mr.. Hammer reached this city Mon
day evening and spent the evening ex-
aiming and re-adjusting the lines of the
route laid out and on Tuesday in COM
pany with Mr.. Dewey, drove over the
same. Later in the day he completed
his map and appointed Mr.. d. b. Green,
we'll known veteran and member
OF the G. A. r. as rural carrier and sent
in his recommendation to Mr.. Dice.
The route as laid out subject to the
approval of Mr.. Dice, runs north from
Mulberry street to the Goss school thence
east, north and west by turns to the
state road and to within mile
OF the county line, thence back Just
skirting Westhaven on the east, to the
Goss, across the river and back TO the
city on the west side of the river. 1t
will be twenty-six miles In length and
has two hundred four farm houses on it
besides many more within mile or so
from its corners.

1t may not be generally known, but there
are already two presidential tickets in the
field for next November's election, one of
which, Bankers and Donnelly, cheap
money side show, has been in the field al
ready over year and the other Harrison
and Hays, the candidates of another cheap
money bureau called the social labor party,
q ticket placed in nomination three weeks
ago. The regular populist ticket and pro-
hibition ticket will still have to be provided
for, while the two giants, the only parties
In which man can know that his influence
Is placed where it will really count, have
long been satisfied they knew the men who
were to head their tickets and are merely
hunting for the name to place In the second
position. OF these man with prodigious
''barrel" is the chief requisite In the eyes of
the men who are searching for man to 20
down with Byran to defeat, while the re-
publicans are more than ever impressed
with the duty of placing in nomination for
the Office of vice president statesman of
tried worth who would be credit to the
American people as their chief executive in
case of the death of President Mckinley.

County Changers Meet.

The members of the Shiawassee coun-
ty oranges held profitable meeting
in Richardson's hall Yesterday when
they listened to an address by the mas
ter of the state grange, Mr.. George B.
Horton. MIR. Horton spoke at consider
able length, exemplifying the secret
work of the grange and having consid-
cradle to say of the practical ways of
meeting the forces of the great trusts
and combines as we'll as of the advan-
tages of cooperative buying and selling.
Naturally he is quite enthusiastic over
the work of his society and had many
good pointers on the best ways of in
creasing the number, scope and in
fuence of the oranges. Grange fire in
surance was also fully discussed
The oranges of Shiawassee county at
present number but four altho there are
one or two more which will probably
soon receive charters. The four, now
doing business all were represent
ed at the meeting yesterday--are Owos-
so Township Grange, Hazel Green
Grange, of Henderson, Union Grange,
of Chaplin, and Burns Grange. The in
terest in the oranges has received con-
siderable impetus recently and those
already in existence are making good
showing while considerable interest is
manifested in other quarters where
there is good material for oranges.

Theodore Roosevelt has evidently con.

power in the vice presidential chair as IN the
gubernatorial chair of New York. THE
TIMES believes he has chosen wisely fol
while it believes that>he would be the most
influential vice president the country has
ever had, it believes he will have much
greater opportunities for doing real service
to the people and even to the party as COVER

Here IL the kind Of surprises which
American workmen have been enjoying
ever since the election Of William Mckinley
When the five hundred employees of the
Dolphin jute mills at Patterson, N. j. went
to receive their pay Saturday night they
were paid an advance of five per cent In
their wages. They had received no intima-
ton of the company's intention to increase
their pay but as might be supposed, have
not been kicking over the change. The
company gave as Its reason for making the
unasked for advance that trade had i'm
proved to such an extent that 1t saw thai
the advance could safely be made, and un-
der the true Americ IN policy now prevailing,
trade is likely to improve still further and
wages continue to increase.

cat the end of December, 1898, 27.2 per
cent. of all the working people in all trades
were unemployed. At the end of March,
1899, the unemployed amounted to 1876 per
cent. At the end of June the percentage
was 1919 per cent. At the end of Septem-
Der 1t had sunk to Al per cent. At present
1t is intellectually small" This is the way
one of the leading democratic papers of New
York summarizes the recent report of the
New York Bureau of labor statistics. The
comments which 1t adds as to the greater
comforts such figures mean that every one
enjoys who has to work for living are
easily imagined by any one who reads the
paragraph, but strange to say the paper did
not have word to say about the cause of 1t
all. bow could II, when to call attention
to the cause would be 10 openly invite votes
q rainst Its own party next November, and
20 urge voters to cast their ballots for
William Mckinley and for a continuation
Of the American policy Of keeping American
industries prosperous and progressive and
the American p, o pie at work at profitable
employment? But then American voters
aid not need to have the paper point out
that fact to them. They can easily see that
for themselves.
