HAS MANY STRONG CLAIMS.
Roila p. Bigelow who II a Candidate
for Republican Nomination for

| Sheriff.
From the Evening Argus.
The republican party is offered excel
lent material, this year, for making up
its county ticket, and the sentiment pre-
walls that the ticket nominated will be
one that will receive the support of the
party, and be elected.
For the important office OF sheriff,
/ Mr.. Rolla p Bigelow, of Owosso was
one of the first names considered. In
fact, for several years Mr.. Bigelow has
been regarded as material for that office,
| but never before announced himself.
This year, after consultation with friends
and receiving many assurances of sup
| port, he let the fact become known
that he was in the race to win the nom
ination and election.
Mr.. Bigelow certainly has many good
strong points in his favor, which de-
serves consideration. Coming to the
state with his parents when three years
old he is, to all intents and purposes,
Michigan bred and born. At the age
of 81 years he came to Shiawassee
county, and for 20 years has occupied
prominent place in business and
social circles. His experience in bust
ness has been wide and varied, fitting
him for positions of trust and response
bility. He has SUCCESSFULLY managed
his affairs and acquired for himself
delightful home in this city and large
farm north of town, to which he gives
considerable attention. s1
Rolla Bigelow is man of the strict
est integrity and personal honor. He
is kind, generous and loyal to his friends.
He has yielded his own desires and in
clinations to others, for the common
good, and always worked hard for, the,
success Of the republican ticket. 1t
would seem the time had arrived when
his claims should be considered.
Mr. Bigelow is serving his Issaends
term as assessor of the city of Owosso,
in which position he has performed the
difficult duties with universal satisfac.
ton. He is also member of the board
of education. His long life and wide
business experience in this county gives
him large circle of friends in all sec.
tions, and he has received many assur-
ances of support in the county conven-
ton soon TO be held, and his friends
look for his nomination for the Office of
sheriff

Obituary.

Fronlthe Duraud Express.
| The funeral~services OF the late Mrs. p. @
Fires were held last Thursday, conducted by
Rev. T. j. Hustled. The business houses were
closed during the service hours The floral
tributes were beautiful The pallbearers were
| L. l.. Conn, S. G. Patched, F. o. Nesbitt, E. S.
| Anterior f. S. Waterman and j. j. Kerna.
ghan The remains were taken to Owosso and
| inferred in Oak Hill cemetery.
| Jessie E., beloved wife of P. G. Fires was
born In Quincy, Branch county, Michigan, De.
cember L, 1874, and when nine years of age
| came with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. j.
Keagle, to Owosso, where her girlhood days
were spent, and where she grew to beautiful
woman, loved and admired by all who knew
her.
At the age OF fifteen years she united with the
Baptist church in Owosso and was always &C
tive In every branch OF its work, living each
day the lire she professed as was proven by
Rev. Hustled who was with her at the last when
he said that in all the scenes OF that nature he
had never seen one so grand and beautiful as
Mrs. Fires.
On thesth of August, 1899, Jessie Keagle was
united in marriage with Percy Fires, and since
that time has made her home in Durand, where
she won place In the hearts OF many as was
ings and the large number that gathered to pay
their last respects On the 9Th Of July, 1910, a
bright little son was given her and her life since
has been one of tender devotion to him, who
with bereaved husband, father, mother and
one sister, Mrs. l.. A. Burhans, survive her.
Mrs, Fires had not felt we'll for som stime and
on the 10th OF June began o severe coughing
which never ceased. She grew worse rapidly
and her case was pronounced as gangrene of
the lungs, disease that no loving hands or
medical skill could stay, as the best advice
known was brought to bear upon the case
At $3.50 Monday evening, July 18th, her Heav.
emily Father called her home.
Jessie has been taken from US,
From this world OF toll and care.
Her Heavenly Father called her;
She will know no sorrow there.
1t is hard, indeed, to spare her,
But, Oh Lord thy Will be done,
And we hope to meet In heaven
When our race on earth Is run.

While he has no opposition for re.
nomination County Clerk j. Y. Martin
has been swinging round the circle
this week letting the delegates elect, and
others who probably will be, know that
he will appreciate the compliment of a
denomination by reclamation. Every
citizen who has done business at the
clerks Office within the past three and a
half years realizes that Mr.. Martin is a
most accommodating and excellent off,
cial, Every detail of the work is given
his personal attention and is kept right
up to date. His name on the ticket will
also add strength to it and make it cas-
Ter to elect all the nominees-which
seems to be the aim of Shiawassee re-
publicans this year.

E. E. Jarvis, editor of The Benton
Harbor Times, the democratic organ of
Berrien county, bolts the nomination of
Parker and Davis. He says there is
but little difference between the repub-
ican and democratic platforms, the
difference being in the candidates. He
does not agree with Roosevelt in all
matters but says 'the money power
cannot handle him. If Roosevelt had
taken their orders, Belmont and his
crowd would not have tried to reorgan-
ize the democracy in the interests of
the money power. The facts prove con-
clusively to me that money could secure
no pledge from Roosevelt, but Parker
was willing to enter into an agreement
with Wall street. Therefore I must
vote against the ticket"

Reports are to the effect that those
who have kept up their orchards in any
sort of shape will harvest big crop of
apples this season, almost every tree
having greater or less quantity of
fruit on it; and the better the trees
have been taken care of the better the
prospects are. Very few apples have
fallen from the trees and the season is
now so far advanced that unless we
have hurricane the great bulk of the
fruit will be gathered.
