A Question of Clocks.

Which is the best, a clock that Is
right only once year. or clock that
is right twice every day? 'The latter"
you reply, "unquestionably."
Very good, reader; now attend. l
have two clocks; one doesn't 90 Mt all
and the other loses a minute a day,
which would you prefer? "The losing
one" you answer, "without doubt"
Now observe. The one which loses
q minute day has to lose II hours, or
40 minutes. before it is right again;
consequently it is only right once in
two years. whereas the other is evil
IDENTITY right as often as the time it
points to come round, which happens
twice a day. SO you've contradicted
yourself once. "Ah, but" you say,
whats the use of its being right
twice a day, If l can't tell when the
time comesT
Why, suppose the clock points to $
o'clock, don't you see that the clock Is
right at s o'clock? Consequently when
s O'clock comes your clock is right.
Eyes, see that" you reply.
Very good; then you've contradicted
yourself twice. Now get out of the diff
| fculty as you can, and don't contradict
yourself again if you can help it,

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The BANNER has always advocated
good roads and believes every dollar
invested In improving the public high
ways will pay big interest on the In
vestment: we are therefore much
pleased to see that our neighbors In
Otisco township are awakening on this
subject The following article which
has been handed us with request to
publish is gladly given space, and we
hope the good work which has thus
been inaugurated will be carried out
and followed up with more until all
the roads in the town are in first class
condition.
Notice is hereby given that there
will be a meeting held at the hotel In
the village OF Cooks Corners, in the
township OF Otisco, on Thursday, the
10Th day Of April, A. ID. 1000, at Z
O'Clock d. IN, for the purpose Of per-
fecting an organization for carrying
out the project of grading and gravel
ing the state road in said township,
from point one-half mile east oil
Cooks Corners, where said state road
intersects the western boundary line
of the city of Belding, thence running
west to the county line near the Cooley
schoolhouse. 1t is hoped that all who
are interested in this much needed Inn
provement will attend this meeting
and render that substantial aid neces
sary to its completion. A special invi
tation is extended to the citizens Of
Belding and Grattan. Business men
wheelmen, farmers and all who appre
ciate the value and use OF a good road
all come.

want notoriety. You'll be forgiven If
you'll only 60 and If you take up your
