making a short visit to Hallowell, being
a guest at the Hallowell House. Mr..
Earle is a Michigan state senator and
is chairman of the highway committee.
In local way he is well known by
reason of his connection with the
North Wayne Tool Co. whose main
office is in this city. The Michigan
highway commission was created by
an act of the Legislature several years
ago, and from that day to this Mr..
Earle has been first and foremost in
the good roads crusade. Sample roads
were constructed in various parts of
the state and 'Earle's Pere Marquette'
Railway Good Roads train, with road
experts and engineers, together with
the most modern machinery for build
ing and repairing roads cheaply, en-
gagged in active work during an aggre-
gate of % weeks during 1901 and 1902.
The chairman and other members of
this committee served without fee
from the state-for the good of the
cause; for the awakening of a public
sentiment in favor of a department of
highways, and looking to complete
system of inter-town highways.

The fact Of the transfer of Rev. Will

the Methodist church of this city to
Wilmington. Del, becomes generally
known with no little regret. This is
the case not only with the members of
the Methodist church and congregation
but to the citizens of the city at large
for during Mr.. Cashmore's ministry in
this city he has become universally well
liked and esteemed. The results of his
work here are due to the many quail
ties that have made him so successful
in his calling and it is with the deepest
regret that his removal from Gardiner
is necessary. However, the reverend
gentleman will leave the city knowing
the appreciation in which his services
have been held and with kindest and
most heartfelt wishes of his church
and the community.
