Nathan Convey.

The funeral of Nathan Covey was hed
in the Congregational church Sunday,
oct 20. at p. m. Mr.. Covey's body was
brought from New York state to his old
home for burial The last seven years
he had spent with a married daughter in
New York, ana previous to this, after
the breaking up of his home in Wards
boro and until the death of his wife,
seven years ago, he lived with his daugh-
ter Mrs. Emery Chase. in Newfane His
many friends and acquaintance here re-
remember him with great esteem for his
cheerfulness and kindness and els I'M
wavering adherence to right A large
circle of near relatives, besides his chill
dren and grandchildren, were present at
the funeral, and his remaining brother,
Philetus Covey now the sole survivor in
a family of ten, came from New Hamp-
shire.
Sincere sympathy Is extended to those
who mourn the loss of this father and
brother, and though he had reached the
great age of 30 years he seemed to be 20
years younger His last Illness was of
short duration and when the death sum-
mons came he was found ready. His
earnest Christian character was eXem-
plary and his loyalty to his own church
praiseworthy lie was nOnored by the
securing of a Methodist pastor to Of
ficiate at the funeral services. The beau
tful casliet and profusion of choice flow
ers were sincere tributes of love to his
memory.

Move Headquarters

Toledo Blade: Col. Eugene Tim
norman, president of the Ann Arbor
and the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
railroads, will leave Friday for San
Francisco, where he will meet his
daughter, the Duchess of Manchester,
and her husband, en- route to their
home i'll England after an extended
tour of the Orient Accompanied by
Col. Zimmerman the titled couple will
hurry across the continent to New
York and will Immediately sail for
home. Col. Zimmerman will then re-
turn to Toledo to arrange his bus
mess affairs preparatory to his de-
parture for Ireland on May 15 He
will join the Duke and Duchess Of
Manchester on their Irish estate and
remain with them until about July 1,
when he will return home.
Regarding the removal of the gen
eral Offices of the Ann Arbor and the
ID. T. & l. to Detroit about May /,
Col. Zimmerman said today that
what Toledo will lose by the removal
is insignificant compared to what the
city will gain by the concentration
of the headquarters of operating de-
partments here. Toledo will be made
the headquarters Of both the Ann Ar
Dor and the Detroit, Toledo & Iron
ton, that Of the former now being at
Owosso, Mich, and the latter at Jack
son, Ohio. The Offices to be located
here include those of the superintend-
ents, the heads of the mechanical de-
partments and the car service de-
partments 1t is figured that these
Offices will fill most of the space in
the Ann Arbor's Cherry street build
ing occupied by the executive, traf-
ic and accounting departments.

Superintendents of Poor Speak.

AS there has been considerable said
IN the papers regarding the treatment
OF Clark Harris and wife by the
Superintendent of the Poor, we
feel that in justice to ourselves, we
should give the facts as they actually
exist.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris have been re-
ceiving an allowance for good many
years of one dollar and twenty-five
cents ($1.25) per week, which has
been charged up as board out of the
house The supervisor of the sec
ond ward in which they live has fur
nished them their fuel and other nee
essaries to make them comfortable,
which has been charged up as 'ex-
penditures OF the second ward in Cor
unna.' For the last few years their
penses have steadily increased un-
til the past year when they were sick
and under the doctors care a good
share of the time. 1t must seem rea-
sonable to any sensible minded per-
son that people the age of this old
couple, i'll poor health and with abb
solutely no one to care for them, are
not in proper condition to take care
OF themselves, even though their
board and fuel be furnished them.
In an article under date of April
18TH statement appeared in which
Mrs Harris said That she would
die in the streets before she would
go to the institution again as the food
was insufficient and the building was
cold in winter until nine CO. in the
morning and that the inmates got
butter only once a week" We wish
to refute this statement as the in
mates have sufficient food. and butter
three times a day instead of once a
week, as there are ten as good cows
as will be found on any farm in Shia
wassee county, and every drop OF
milk, every ounce of butter is used
in the County House. There is also
a large flock of chickens and the eggs
are used for like purpose, and occa-
sionally the inmates are given
chicken dinner AS to suffering with
the cold, there is little chance for
that, as the building is thoroughly
heated by steam.
The above facts can be verified by
any taxpayer who will take the pains
to visit the County House any day
in the week, except Sunday. we
venture the assertion that there is
not a better kept County House in
the state OF Michigan than the one in
Shiawassee county.
The taxpayers of the county have
expended thousands of dollars to
provide comfortable home tor
people who have not the proper
means to care for themselves. Never
theless, if there is anyone who will
guarantee to care for Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris for three dollars $50 a week,
including food, fuel, clothing and
doctors bills, the Superintendent
stand willing to give them such an
