 l. Larceny: sufficiency of proof of ownership when no variance shown.- On trial under indictment for the larceny of money, which lays the own ership of said money in a woman, and the evidence shows that the woman named in the indictment as the owner of the money lived with her husband; that the money alleged to have been stolen was in her trunk and was made up of small sums which had been sav- ed by her husband and herself, there is no variance between the averment in the indictment and the evidence as to the ownership of the property; and such evidence is sufficient to support the ownership as laid in the indict- ment.

FRUITS AND FACTS

We can raise most OF the kinds OF
hardy apples successfully in Wood
county but not without some care
and exertion. Something for nothing
is not in the laws of nature to those
who care to raise apples Put in
the fall of the year or spring, the fall
preferred, one load of manure around
each tree. Keep it from the body of
tree one foot and keep this foot well
cultivated. Let this manure remain in
a ridge around the tree for two years
and then spread over the ground but
put on the same amount again as a
manure ridge. 1t enriches the
ground, holds moisture in a dry time
and does not starve the tree to death.
Keep the top well trimmed out, and
you will raise fruit. Animals and vege.
tables must have nourishment. Store
away the fact and let the fiction evap-
crate. S. A. STAFFORD.

another car load of lambs and hogs
mixed. We are glad TO note that the
farmers are taking interest 10 Secur-

stock industry in Wood county in
years to come. The following is the

IMPORTANCE OF THE FAIR.

People of Grand Rapids who visited
the worlds fair at Chicago in 1898
have store Of delightful memories,
and are free to say that to have seen
1t was one Of the important events of
lifetime. Some do not hesitate to
say that it was an education.
The St. Louis exposition is equally
great. Some Of its exhibits are even
more noteworthy than those of the
other, and SO far as science and
Invention go, it measures the advance
of twelve years. 1t is only by COM
pari son that the greater progress in
these directions can be realized, and
it is worth while to go to ST. Louis
for this purpose alone.
II one has not the other fair to
serve as a standard of comparison,
1t is even more desirable that the
extent to which the science and arts
are entering into manufacturing and
every branch of daily life should be
seen on this occasion. IL is the
assembling OF these manufacturers
together which makes them impress
i've and educational seen separately
and in common usage their import
ance and significance in the march Of
improvements are likely to go un-
noticed. A worlds fair is a sort of
milestone on the path of progress

ST. KATHERINE'S
GUILD ENTERTAINS

At the residence of Mrs MacKinnon
last Thursday evening took place one
Of the pleasantest and most novel
entertainments of the season IN our
city. The officers OF the Guild are
Mrs. Gibson, president; Mrs. MacKin-
non, vice-president: and Mrs Voss.
secretary. The entertainment was a
tea party given by the ladies of the
Guild at which thirty-nine ladies
responded to roll call.
After all had arrived each lady was
given bundle of Grape paper, a row
OF pins and strip of card board and
told to make bonnet or hat the best
they could in one half hour. Two
prizes were given, one for the prettiest
and one for consolation. The ladies
all worked hard to win the prize.
Supper was served as soon as the
ladies finished their hats, when they
were requested to wear the same to
the table. The supper was served on
small tables distributed through the
rooms. After supper the judges were
appointed as follows: Messrs. MacKin-
non, Witter, Voss and Father
Blakeslee. The judges were lined up
and the ladies passed before them,
each wearing her hat or bonnet,
trimmed in green, yellow or purple.
1t was with much difficulty that the
judges finally arrived at a decision,
but after much deliberation decided
Miss Carman was entitled to the first
prize, which consisted of china cur
and saucer. Miss Forbes carried of
the consolation prize, her bonnet being
a combination of the Quaker and
Dutch style combined. The prize
awarded was large duck, taking il
all around they had a very enjoyable
time.
There were several strangers present
who will soon become members Of the
Guild. The MacKinnon home was
nicely decorated with flowers, con.
sisting of white and purple astors.
All the ladies as we'll as the four
gentlemen present declared it one of
the pleaSantest evenings spent in
many day.
