Rev. Leonard's Successful Work.

A note to THE TINES from Marine
City says: The Rev. DR.. and Mrs A. B.
Leonard were in Marine City on the
18th inst. where DR.. Leonard dedicated
the new M. E. church. He preached
fine sermon to the large audience which
greeted him on Sunday morning. But
not only did he preach well, he also
proved himself great money raiser,
worthy to be classed with Powell, of
Buffalo, or Bishops McCabe and Moore.
$3,5OO was necessary 10 dedicate the
new church free from debt. DR..
Leonard began to preach and pray and
sing and very soon nearly all the
amount needed had been subscribed
Besides raising the money, he also left
the people all in a good humor and
happy. Many fail to do this. Quite a
number were present from the First
churh, Port Huron, brother Leonard's
old charge.

Explosion In School Laboratory.

During recitation of class in chem
lstry at the Central school Monday
smoke was seen to be coming from the
chemical store room. 1t was found to
be from phosphorus, and in trying to
stop it bottle of bi-carbonite of sui
phide exploded, throwing acid on Prin-
cipal A. p. Temple, and spreading the
flames. Fortunately Mr.. Temples
burns were not serious. The damage
to the building was slight, being mostly.
from the water, and the loss on .chemi-
Gals is small. School was dismissed for
the balance of the forenoon because of
the disagreeable odors.

The Womans Club met Saturday
afternoon at Mrs. Niles Virgins, the
members responding to roll call with
patriotic quotations. Homes and
Haunts of George Washington" was the
subject of very interesting paper by
Mrs. F. G. Greeman and the History Of
the American Flag" by Mrs. Winona
Walters created new interest in our
national banner. The home had been
decorated with pictures of Washington
and Lincoln and the national colors
used effectively in draping them. A
picture of Bestsy Ross displaying the
flag to Washington, Ross and Morris
was much enjoyed. The Battle Hymn
of the Republic and America were song
and altogether the meeting was great
inspiration to all present.

daughter to her, having gone to live
with her when but 12 years of age,
after the death of her own mother. The
bond of love could have been no
stronger between mother and daughter
than it was with them and she was
given everyspossible care by Mrs. Bige-
low. The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the home, Rev.

RESOLUTIONS.

The board of supervisors passed
the following at their special session
last Saturday:
Whereas, according to the immut-
able laws of nature, acting in har-
mony with the laws of our being, and
in view of the loss we have sus-
tanned by the decease of our friend
and associate, William A. Kent, and
still heavier loss sustained by those
who were nearest and dearest to him,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
board of supervisors of Shiawassee
county that we deplore the early
death of an active and conscientious
member, and while we mourn for
him, we know that he is in every
way entitled to our respect and re-
gard. How well and capable he full
filled his earthly mission many will
testify. His labors and tolls are
over, but we truly feel that his in
fluence will live through time. How
like a balm to the wounded hearts
is the remembrance of the never to
be forgotten handshake, his genial
smile, honest nature that always char
acterized him in all walks of life, will
live in our memory.
Resolved, that this testimonial be
spread upon the records of this spec
ial meeting of the board of super
visors, and copy be forwarded by
the county clerk to the family of
our departed member.

DAINTINESS IN SCARFS

Long, wide scarfs to throw lightly the shout.
ders promise to be the distinguishing feature Of light
colored toilets this spring. Few fashions, says the
London Express, offer such possibilities uni
versaly becoming and in combinations Of color, in
originality of design and material large choice is
afforded for Individual tastes, Of which women are
to take full advantage the season advances.
Among the most seductive novelties which the early
spring has up till produced are charming floral
scarfs in all Of colors and varieties. Mounted
foundation Of mousseline de sole fine crepe de
chine, these scarfs fashioned Of flowers in silk
gauze, the petals lightly together as to form
q solid floral network
Large-petaed flowers, such full-blown Of
all kinds, anemones, cematis and lilies, most in
favor, but clusters of hydrangeas daisies and even
forget-me nots effectively introduced against
background Of chiffon. lovely scarf which in
tended to be worn with costume Of pale pink silk
muslin carried out in pink chiffon covered with
wild dogroses, each petal decately powdered with
goddust the stamens Of the flowers being fashioned
Of tiny gold beads while the long ends Of the scarf
were finished with fringe Of pink rosebuds tipped
with gold. ..--. -...-.ss
Another long scarf Of white mousseline de sole was
embroidered with lattice work of furnished silver
tinsel covered with sprays Of large white lilies
frl Of silver embroidered lace supplying an attrac
tive finish, while simple scarf of anemones-the
petals shading from mauve to purple-represented
charming harmony in color.
