or that of his deputy-work too, which
he would not have been obliged to do
and tor which he did not receive any
compensation. This did not hinder his
granting the favor. If however, the
work was such that fee was due the
county, Mr.. Martin always exacted it
and the money went into the county
treasury-a fact which was clearly re-
vealed by the recent audit of the
county books. Much more might be
said as to his work but we believe the
people of the county know that Mr..
Martin has been faithful to their in
terests and has honestly discharged the
trust imposed in him. He can certain
ly go to the people asking for another
term in the Office and challenge any one
to show that he has not conducted his
Office in accordance with law.
There is one additional reason why
he should be again honored by the
people of the county. January first will
see'an almost complete change in the
personnel OF the county officers. A new
man will be found in the Office of
register of deeds, county treasurer, pro-
scouting attorney and sheriff. When
this is taken into consideration, it can
readily be. seen that the county is fortu-
nate indeed in having the opportunity
to keep an old official in SO important a
place as that of County Clerk. This is
especially true when it is considered
there is no other county official who
from his position and his qualifications
would be able to give so much assis-
tance to the other, new officials as will

REGARDED AS ONE OF THE BEST
CLERKS IN THE STATE.
Such Is the Opinion of State and Other
Officials Who Have Transacted
Business With John r. Martin.

On more than one occasion residents
of this county have felt pardonable
degree of pride when they have heard
state officials, circuit judges from other
circuits and other officials who have had
business in the courts of this county or
in the office of the county clerk refer to
John Y. Martin as one of the best county
clerks in the entire state. We believe
that not one word of these statements
was meant as fiattery-it was simply a
just recognition of services faithfully
performed. AS we have before stated

Not TdLeave Owosso.

The report that the Price Food Co.
intended to remove it's plant from this
city to Battle Creek is denied by the
officers of the company. A dispatch to
this effect appeared in the Free Press
the first of the week from Battle Creek,
also stating that the Yorkville plant
would be taken there and the two con-
solidated President Terbush of the
Improvement Society, has letter from
the officials saying that they have no
intention of leaving Owosso. The plant
here is regarded as model one and has
been profitable venture from the
start. If the Food Co. wish to make
any change at all they could not do
better than to remove their Yorkville
factory to Owosso. This city has
shipping facilities equal to those of
Battle Creek and is in every way as
good location for factory of this
kind.

THE GREAT GAME.
Professional Men Defeat the Business
Men Fourteen to Seven.

Thunder. lightning. rain, hail hail
and mud were the features of the Pro-
fessional Men VS.. the Business men
bali game yesterday afternoon at
Quimby field. The Professional men
won by score of II to Z. The game
closed at the end of the sixth inning
on account of dampness.
When the game began there was the
biggest crowd present that have been
on Quimby field this year. The grand
stand was packed. the side hill was
crowded and a long line of carriages
stood down by the fence. Everybody
paid to see the game, and although
there was a deplorable lack of UNI
brellas. every body got the value of his
money in pleasure.
The field was sun-lit when the UNI
pire gave the command to play hall.
but clowds in the West indicated trou-
HE. A crash of lightning followed the
first ball pitched. and the sun disap-
Feared. Still one inning was complet-
Cd before the storm burst forth. Then
came the hail and the crowd hustled
for cover. Some crowded into the
grand stand which was already nearly
full and others sought cover beneath
it. All got connected with more or
less moisture.
Presently the rain which followed the
hail ceased. and the players went onto
the field again. They We're checrcd for
their staying qualities. and they deserv-
cd to be chcercd. for the mud was an
kle deep.
The plays that followed were won
derful, and too curious for the score
keepers who had contemplated putting
a detailed score Of the game on record.
When the ball struck the ground there
was splash and when a player slid
for base there was a plunge.
And soon another shower came. This
shower decreased the number of spec
tato-s materially, yet there was a good
sIz'd bunch that saw the game to the
finish
The professionals Were highly elated
because of their victory. 1t is probable
that they will be challenged to play an
