IA fresh supply of new goods may
b. found at nearly every store in
town. These several stores have al
ready disposed of more goods the pres
ent year than in all Of the first three
or four years Of our residence In the
county. These are to our mind, only
one of the many evidences existing all
around us of the increased ability Of
the people Of the county to supply
their wants and crafty their desires.
Every year, month and day is adding
to the wealth, to the resources and to
the population of the county. The
tide of immigration seems to be
thoroughly setting in, in this direc-
tion. All who may come to this gar
den Of the west will be welcomed by q
generous and hospitable people.

CONTEST HAPPILY SETTLED
Mrs. Ethel M. Aenew Appointed to a
$1,000 CIerkship-John Teller to be
Postmaster at Henderson.

Since the death of Postmaster James
E. Agnew Jr. there has been consider
able talk as to who his successor would
be. At first six candidates made appli-
cation for the appointment, four of
whom afterward withdrew in favor of
Mrs. Agnew, one in favor of Mr.. John
Teller, leaving the contest between
Mrs. Agnew and Mr.. Teller, the latter
stating that he would withdraw If as.
surances were given that Mrs. Agnew
was to have the entire benefit from the
appointment, and in this he was strong
ly backed by some of the leading repub-
licans of the township who. did not
want the Office to remain where it is at
present. Some of the supporters of Mrs.
Agnew, who by the way. did absolutely
nothing to secure the place for herself,
also expressed the wish that the loca-
tion of the Office should be changed if
she was appointed. While some misun
derstandings have arisen through the
position of Mr.. Teller not being under,
stood, we are of the opinion that the re-
suit will be entirely satisfactory to
everyone.
After thorough consideration of the
matter the appointment was rendered to
Mrs. Agnew by Congressman Fordney
yesterday. She decided today to de-
cline the appointment and will accept a
clerkship in the Office o. State Land
Commissioner E. A Wildey at Lansing
at salary of 81, 600 year. The latter
place was secured for her through the
influence of Mr.. Fordney and a few
friends in this county. The position is
fine one and THE TINES desires TO
congratulate Mrs. Agnew on her prefer
ment. She will enter on her work
October 1st.
The appointment as postmaster has
been rendered to Mr.. Teller, who will
no doubt accept, and his appointment
win follow at once Mr.. Teller is
splendidly qualified for the place, and
will be worthy successor to the late
postmaster. He too is to be congratu-
lated.
The brief contest is thus happily end
ed and we hope to the satisfaction of
every one.
