They Have "Hiit The Nail On The
Head"

The Barry Muskegon Line people
have certainly hit the nail on the head
in announcing their series of popular
excursions to the Worlds Fair.
Everything is as plain as A B @. No
misleading statements, no catch words,
no uncertainties, but everything so
plain and clearly stated that child can
understand.
In conversation with one of the offic-
ials, he stated that every care had been
taken, every arrangement completed,
every feature investigated to the end
that nothing would be included in the
trip that was not of the highest order
and no feature added that would not
meet with the approval Of the most re-
fined. He also expressed the hope that
the first excursion of the series, July Goth
would be literally patronized as he felt
confident that those who did go would
return so well pleased that their praises
would assure the success of the others.
From the present outlook his hopes
will be more than realized. We look
for big crowd.

Burton Farmers Club.

6uTtOU 7 dTU1eTS SIup.
Thursday, July 18th the Burton Farm
ers club was pleasantly entertained at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. l.. Ran
dali
1t being a very busy time, quite a num-
Der of the club members were conspic-
uous by their absence, there were enough
however, to make the meeting pleasant
and profitable.
The President, Mrs. Potter, called the
meeting to order.
After song entitled, Softly and Ten
derby, Mr.. Love conducted the devo-
tional exercises.
The first question on the program,
Which is the most profit to the farmer
selling eggs or raising chickens was
answered by Mrs Hammond who thought
that taking the work and the cost of
feed into consideration there was the
most profit in selling eggs. The second
question, are trusts and monoplies a
benefit to the farmers. This question
was discussed by Mr.. Love, Mr.. Ran
dali and others. M. Love thought they
were no benefit to anything except
themselves and that they were menace
to small manufactures and tradespeople.
Mr.. Potter thought that they really
made but little difference in the retail
prices of articles that the farmer has
to buy.
Miss Blanche Shepherd read an in
teresting description of the school for
colored students, at Tuskeegee, Ala. I,
founded by Booker 7. Washington.
Mr.. Potter answered the question
can neighbor be compelled to build
and keep in repair line fence, and how ?
He said they could be compelled to do
so and if they refused the one desiring
the fence built could build it himself
and then compel the other party to pay
his share for the building of it.
We then adjourned for noon hour,
partaking of the excellent dinner
| which Mrs. Randall had prepared and
spending some time in social way.
The President called the meeting to
order for the afternoon. Miss Rlanche
Shepherd favored us with song,
Those Evening Bells.
Mr.. q. T. Mason gave a very delight
full account of trip which he took to
the Prairie Farm in Saginaw Co., July
fourth.
Miss Blanche Shepherd then read a
selection about the Inside Inn. When
she had finished we hardly knew which
place it would be best to be on the in
side of the Inside Inn, or on the outside
of the inside of the Inside Inn.
The general topics were then taken
up. The gentlemen's subject. From
what may the farmer receive the most
education in his calling to-day, was
well discussed by Mr.. Love, Mr.. Ran
dali and Others Mr.. Love thot from
the growing plants and the elements
which go to make up their growth could
we draw the best lessons. All agreed
the occupation of the farmer was above
all others, one that tended to draw mems
hearts and minds toward God and a
higher plane Of life.
The ladies subject. Have men or
women exercised the greatest influence
on civilization and happiness. Mrs.
Love read an excellent paper on the sub
ject, she said that surely women had
done well, not only their refining in
fiuence on the home life but their earnest
efforts in the field of Foreign Missions
and Christian Temperance work. Quite
discussion followed by both gentle
men and ladies but the ladies had rath-
er the best Of the gentlemen in the dis
