GOLDEN JUBILEE BANQUET
AT Alma Springs Sanitarium Last
Thursday Evening Great
Success
CREDIT DUE REV. c. {. H0AG
The Bsnaueters Numbering Nearly
Five Hundred Seated In the SEA-
clous Dining Room.

The Golden Jubilee Banquet, given TO
commemorate the 50th anniversary Of
the coming of the first circuit rider to
Gratiot county was held at the Sanitar
ium last Thursday evening and was
without doubt the largest social event
of purely denominational character
ever given in the state of Michigan.
That this is fact, is due solely to the
untiring efforts of the Methodist pastor,
Rev. Clarence f. Hoag and his COM
mittee, who for weeks have been assur-
ing their friends that the banquet would
be winner,
Tables in the spacious dinning room
of the Alma Springs Sanitarium were
arranged to accommodate 46S guests
and when the company marched into
the dining room and took their seats
only two vacant chairs were to be seen.
The program from start to finish was
one thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Rev. French of Lansing proved himself
an ideal toastmaster, while everyone of
the dozen or more speakers won the ap-
plause of their hearers.
Toastsswere responded to by President
Dickie and Rev. Day of Albion, Rev,
Allen of Flint and others of equal prom
inence, all of whom did credit to them
selves and their subjects. Fr,ternal
greetings from the college and various
churches in Alma were extended by DIR.
Bruske, Rev. Ramsey, l.. A. Sharp and
DR.. Clizbe and we think no part of the
excellent program proved more interest
to the banqueters.
The last speaker of the evening was
w. A. Quayle of St. James Church,
Chicago. Mr.. Quayle is an orator of
national reputation and although it was
one o'clock in the morning when he
commenced his address, yet so closely
did he hold the attention of his hearers
! in his. mastery address on Faust, that at
2:30 when he closed, not over half doz-
en- of the banqueters had left the room.
A fiashlight picture was taken by Horn,
the photographer, after which the guests
departed for their various homes, having
thoroughly enjoyed the event.
The committee who had the banquet
in charge are to be congratulated upon
the success of the undertaking.

the year 1908.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
We opened the year with 2S arc lamps
in service, the number was increased by
the installation of three other lamps,
making 81 now in service. One of the
three was installed without extra charge

templated in our lighting contract.

more economical basis.

The class in Cicero at the High School
recently completed their text and taking
Prof. Ellsworth into their confidence,
planned a surprise for their instructor,
Miss Clark. The class planned spread
in vacant room in the building, ar
ranged unique program consisting OF
original songs and recitations, and when
the class hour arrived, notified Miss
Clark she was wanted in the room be-
low. The teacher was surprised at the
greeting received from her pupils,
but all entered into the spirit of the
occasion and enjoyed the good time
planned. Such evidences of friendship
on the part of the pupils makes the
work of the teacher lighter and testifies
to the good will existing between i'm
structor and students in our city schools

STATE HIGHWAY COM. EARLE.
Visits Alma and Inspects Roads i'm Arcadia
and Pine River Townships

State Highway Commissioner Earle
was in Alma Monday inspecting roads in
this vicinity. The mile or more of road
made last fall in Pine River township by
Road Commissioner Isaac Church was
pronounced o. X and the township will
receive the remaining $4,000 due from
the state The work IN Arcadia township
was not so good and Commissioner Earle
recommended that the piece built be
covered to depth of three inches with
pebbles the same TO ne narrowed and
rolled in when the $4,000 yet due from
the state would be paid.
Mr.. Earle spoke enthusiastically of the
road work done by Commissioner Church
in Pine River township. He also said
that the townships of Gratiot county had
more application for good roads before
the State Commissioners department
than any other one county in the state.
Berrien cou nty leads all other counties in
the good road movement, while Ham,
tramck township. Wayne county will
build more good roads assisted by state
appropriation during the season of 1906
than any other township inthe state.

soil is in good shape. We have seen
beets sown early on land that was not
Just as thoroughly fitted as it ought TO
have been on account of its not being
dried out sufficiently deep to give it the
proper amount of work, for if it had
been gone over enough times to properly
fit, the soil just little below the sur
face would become so compact that
when it did come dry weather it was
not in good condition to push the crop
by thorough cultivation, as it otherwise
would have been if not worked so much
before seeding
If land is well tile drained CT in con-
dition to fit, we should certainly fit
thoroughly before seeding, but do not
fit clay land when dry to dust for if
you do, heavy rain will form a crust
and cement your surface soil so seed
sprouts cannot get through. Clay soils
that are not tile drained must be handled
with the very best of judgement and
care. Loamy and light soil can be
plowed and stirred much wetter than
