COUNTY
s. s. Convention to be Held at
Salem Church Instead of
Woods Grove.

To the Sunday School workers OF
Wayne county:
The County Convention for this
year was to have been held at Woods
Grove, but the school there last De-
cember went into winter quarters
and has been there ever since.
The Executive Committee of the
Wayne County Sunday School As
ISOLATION thought it unwise to try to
hold the convention there, and be-
sides, their quarterly conference was
appointed to be held there, therefore
at a called meeting of the Executive
Committee it wag voted to hold the
convention at safem.
The good peop,e of Salem have
| kindly consented to do the best they
| can with SO short a notice. 7 hope
everybody who can will go and carry
their baskets as it is too much to ask
the people of Salem to feed the great
crowds who attend these conven-
tons.
MI. r. w. Edgerton has been ap-
| pointed musical director. Young

help from it.

Alma College
HARD FOUGHT CONTEST.
NJ. A. &. defeated Alma i'm IA Very Interest
ing Game Saturday.

NJ. A. @. defeated Alma college last
Saturday in one OF the hardest fought
games of football that has ever been
seen on Davis field. The work of both
teams showed early season form, but the
game was interesting from a spectators
point of view. Although Alma was de-
feated ii TO O, il was the belief of all
who saw. the game that Alma will rank
well up at the close Of the season.
1t was 2:45 when the teams lined up,
with NJ. A. y. defending the east goal.
The kick OFF was received on the 10
yard line and advanced fifteen yards.
BY series of short gains M. A. 9. car
ried it to the center OF the field. There
she was held for downs, Alma was
penalized and forced to punt. M. A. O.
carried it TO Alma's three yard line,
where a battle royal took place Alma
made an efficient stand and held. She
was unable to gain, however, and nj. A.
9. showed it over after fourteen minutes
of play.
On the next kick Off, M. A. O. ad-
vanced the ball 10 the 40 yard line and
McKenna covered thirty on a double
pass. Alua secured the ball and re-
turned it to the center. Mcbride took
Rogers place. The ball was secured by
NJ. A. O. and she was penalized 20 yards
for off side as the half closed.
Things started bright for Alma at the
beginning of the second half. Mcbride
got the ball on the kick off and advanced
nearly to the center Of the field. Then
by series of bucks and tackle plays it
was advanced to M. A. OPS 30 yard line,
the nearest 70 scoring Alma got. The
ball was lost, however, and the farmers
slowly worked it to Alma's yard line.
There on beautifully worked quarter
back kick she scored her second touch.
down and kicked goal.
After that the ball changed hands
frequently, both sides being forced to
punt often, while there were many fun
bles and penalties. The game closed
with the ball in NJ. A. C.'s possession
on her own 30 yard line.

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS.
The Baptist Society Has Been Making
Extensive Changes in Their Beautiful
Home.

One Of the finest edifices in Alma is
the Baptist church which is located on
State street opposite the sanitsrium.
During the past few weeks it has been
thoroughly renovated and beautified.
The interior has been cleaned and re-.
decorated, the woodwork frightened
with a new coat of varnish, and the
seats repolished. Nothing has so added
to the appearance of the church as the
new carpet, which was laid last week.
A new cement walk, gift of the b. Y.
p. u, has taken the place of the old
board walk leading from the church to
the main sidewalk. The porch at the
entrance, now in process of erection,
will be a great improvement when COM
pleted. The furnace has been over
hauled, new collection baskets provided
and new pulpit and choir furniture
secured, The expense of the entire
work will be provided for when finished.
The Baptist society is to be congratu-
lated upon Its cozy, homelike building.
There is no church in the town where
strangers are made 10 feel more vel.
coined. We wish them prosperous
future.

Not a Resident of Alma.

EDITOR RECoRD:-To satisfy the cur.
iosity Of many of your readers 1 beg
that you grant me sufficient space in
your enterprising paper to make the
following announcement:
With the best possible motives l re.
turned to this lovely little city some
months ago TO make il my future home.
The first 26 years Of my life were spent
in Gratiot county. / have never been
thoroughly weaned from the associations
incident TO pioneer life, nor alienated
from the friends OF my early childhood
days. Sentiment figured largely in my
desire 10 again become a resident OF
Alma, after an enforced absence of near.
ly IL years. A few weeks Of earnest
effort convinces me that il would neither
be desirable or congenial to attempt to
settle down here, and a deep seated con-
viotion that / am mot wanted as
permenant resident prompts me to say l
shall continue claiming Detroit as my
home city. With assurance Of great
esteem, beg to remain,

GOT HIS MAN IN OHIO.
The Prisoner Came Willingly and Requi-
sition Papers were not Needed.

Last spring A. l.. Wagstaff had con.
siderable stuff stolen from his farm south
OF Alma, consisting of clover seed, few
hides and other articles. Suspicion
pointed to one Jas. Wheeler, but when
the officer went to look for James he
had liked for some other locality. Last
week Undersheriff Button learned that
his man was at Reed S postoffice, Lorraine
county, o., and he went down there for
the purpose of bringing him back to this
county to answer TO the charge of lar.
ceny.
Upon going to Lansing for requisitjon
papers he found out that he had neg
lected some things that it was necessary
for the prosecuting attorney TO make
ont, so he started for Ohio without the
papers necessary to extradite his prison
er once secured. Upon arriving at his
destination, however, he found that the
papers would not be necessary as James
was homesick and wanted to come back.
He was taken before Justice Chadwick
upon his return to Alma and wss bound
over to circuit court, but while waiting
he is boarding at the county bastile in
Ithaca.
