The Jackson News OF a recent date
says that the most of the counties that
have sent in their pension return this
year have neglected to send the names
of the old pensioners, only sending
the new ones, the ones allowed this
year, and It Is stated that unless the
county boards send in all the names,
both new and old, that no pensions
a be allowed, except for the new
Ones. Mr.. Simonton, the pension
clerk, has sent out 10, 900 blanks to the
various counties, and this means, says
the News, that there will be a large in

The people Of this section remem
Der with pleasure the appearance in
this city about a year ago, Of the W.
Fl. Harris famous Nickel Plate Show.
Every one was delighted with the per-
Torrance, and with the happy and
cordial management Of the entire
show. In fact this is one Of the best
popular priced %oircusss on the road
today and those who saw it last year
will not fail to see to do so this time
II is here, and macy others willproba-
bly, come In this time who we're not

Mr.. Davis, direct from the Fort
wayne Electric Company, was here
last week and put the electric lights
in q first class condition. He advised
the city council not to permit any one
to use ove q Is candle power lamp as
they are not allowed by any other
town or city, only where motors are
used. Any lamp over Is candle power
is detrimental to the plant. So the
city council at once passed an ordi-
nance making II a misdemeanor for
any person to use a lamp over 16 cam
die power with a fine OF s10.O 0 20 be
collected from any one who will use a
larger size lamp. The city is deter
mined to enforced this ordinance and
stop the use Of larger than 10 candle
power globes. So the above fine will
not onlybe collected, but the lights cut
also.

happiest man nOkolona becausehe en-

several hours, the crowd drove up to
residence Of Mrs. Frank Elliott, where
Mrs.. Elliott and Mrs. s. G.. Sadler
had Joined in getting up a most ele-
CANT supper, which was heartily en-
ioyed By all. We feel safe in saying
that the moon i've shed her beams
on a more beautiful, more intelligent
and charming crowd of ladies than
those who made up the delectable
crowd Monday night.
A Kalamazoo paper soothes the
men as follows: IF the supper was a
little late last evening, the head of the
household should not kick. There
were nine millinery openings in town
yesterday"
