How young she began to feel again!

DESTROYED BY FIRE
Home Of Mrs John E Crags, Of Mt.
Morris Tewnship, burned Satur-
day Morning. !,

Fire destroyed the house of Mrs.
John E. Cragg. formerly Mrs. James
Buell., of Mt. Morris township, early
Saturday morning. Most of the con-
tents were burned. The blaze is sup
posed to have been started in the gar
ret by defective chimney. ~
The members of the family were
seated at the breakfast table when
the odor of smoke was detected, and
an investigation disclosed the fact that
the whole upper part of the house was
in flames. There were no facilities
with which to combat the flames and
the neighbors who hurried to the scene
devoted their efforts to saving the fur
nishings on the first floor. Everything
in the upstairs rooms went up in smoke,
including all the clothing Of the several
members of the family except that
which they were wearing at the time.
There is an insurance of $500 on the
house and $500 on the furniture, but
this will fall short of covering the loss.

Vacation for Legal Club.

Though the last session of the anna
teur law class of the year, it was not
the least that met at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles H. May, Monday
night, to transact unfinished business.
There were but few legal technicalities
discussed and the dust was left undis-
turbed on the law books but for big
time the entire amateur legal aggrega-
tion was out. There were several visi-
tors present, who readily took up the
study of legal questions in the same
care-free manner as did the older men,
bers of the class.
A general good time was followed by
refreshments and at late hour the
offenders were released IN bail await
ing another hearing next October at
Mr.. and Mrs. Mays house.
The plans for the fall have not been
decided upon as yet but some live SUBJ
ject of literary or political interest will
be taken up by the class for study. The
need of some sort of literary club was
recognized by those present and enthu-
siasm has been evidenced ever since
the beginning of the class.

in the face by a cross dog, Tuesday,
the little boys nose and lips being

mouth, nearly perforating his lips and
tearing away part of the gums.

BY the CsFernor to the People of the
State of Michigan.

Greeting: 1t was progressive and
enlighteped public sentiment that
brought about the observance of Arbor
Day. Responsive to that sentiment l
hereby designate Friday, May 3, 1907,
as Arbor Day in and for the State of
Michigan.
The reasons why this day should be
observed by planting trees, vines and
shrubs appeal to every home-loving
citizen of Michigan. 1t is not given to
all to own portion of the soil from
which comes the sustenance for all and
it is the duty of those who do to make
7Ios : zscrzcFve 7snd beadtifui lhe ricir
heritage Michigan's pioneers redeemed
from the wilderness. BY planting trees
about the homes and along the high
ways this can be done.
Not alone in the family or by the in
dividual should Arbor Day be celebrat-
ed ard observed. Those in. charge of
our public schools can and should ar
range program of exercises for this
day that will impress upon the minds
of our youth the duty we owe our
selves and posterity. We should leave
this earth more beautiful than we
found it. By planting and caring for
the trees we are making our homes
more beautiful, our State more attrac-
tive and utilizing one of Gods best
gifts to his children.

WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.

Prospects for the removal of the big
tStandard) from their present location
are bright, and Il good many people
living in the vicinity of the Midland
depot will breathe easier when this is
done. Correspondence has been carried
on between Town Attorney c. w. Tay
lor and Attorney Milton Smith of Den
Yer upon the subject.
The latest news in the matter is that
the officials of the company have made
statement to the effect that if the
town board or the people of Glenwood
designate some spot to which the tanks
can be removed, the moving will take
Place. AT the same time, it is reported
the company takes that stand that in
view of the fact that the work or
erecting the tanks where they are now
was not stopped or intcrfered with in
any way, it cannot be compelled to
hunt up new location. Through the
efforts of the town attorney, however,
an amicable settlement is now in sight
and the subject will again be brought
up for discussion at the regular month
ly meeting of the town board to be
held next Monday.
There are numerous spots not a great
distance from Glenwood where kero
scne and gasoline may be kept with
perfect safety. AS long as the tanks
remain where they are there will be a
spirit of unrest dwelling in the bosoms
of certain number of residents. They
fear that from one cause or another,
by lightning or accidental fire, the
tanks will become ignitcd, in which
ease there is sure to be something
doing
