Naming the Townships.

The following article on the nam
! ing of Shiawassee townships is from
the Detroit News-Tribune:
Shiawassee county is named for
an Indian word meaning Rolling
Waters" and Owosso in the Indian
tongue means Bright Spot"
In 1886 Shiawasse county was
erected into a separate county, and
it's one township was also called
Shiawassee. At that time the county
was much larger than at present, and
| from it large slices of territory were
| taken to form the new counties of
Ingham, Clinton and Livingston.
In 1887 by an act of the legisla-
ture, Shiawassee county and town
ship was divided into four townships
-Owosso, Shiawassee, Burns and
Venice. Burns township was named
by poetical set of eastern capital
lists who settled a village i'm Burns,
Robbie Burns, and they call the vii
lage of Byron for Lord Byron. In fact
the company, which was organized in
the middle thirties for the purpose
of specializing in the then wild lands
Of central Michigan was called the
Byron company. Vernon was named
for Mt. Vernon, Washington's home,
and for years the village of Durand,
in Vernon township, was called Ver-
non center, until it was renamed for
Judge Durand, Of Flint.
Ohio and Pennsylvania people
moved into the county in the late
thirties and early forties gave the
names to New Haven, Hazelton and
Middlebury townships. Fairfield was
the last township erected of the six
teen, having been created in 1854 by
the board of supervisors, and being
named for one of the prominent fam
lilies therein.
Rush, which lies just north of
Owosso, was named for family off
sturdy pioneers, a descendent of
whom lives in Owosso township,
Frank II. Rush, former supervisor
Alexander Macarthur, a stout Scots
man, named Caledonia, and the first
township meeting was held at his
home in 1889.
The now well-drained and prosper
Gus township of Venice, where as
many sheep are now raised for the
spring market as anywhere in the
United States, got it's name because
of the humor of the pioneers mas
much as it was under water most of
the time. Sciota is Scotch and was
christened by Peter Laing, who gave
his name to the village of Laingsburg
in 1886.
Bennington was settled at first by
commissioners, and takes it's name
from the Vermont town, Woodruff Is
the family nance of couple of pio-
neers, John and Josephus, who
plunged into Shiawassee's trackless
woods In '36. Perry township is
named for family of early corners.
No need to say that most of the
early settlers in Antrim were Irish,
s,pce II Is named for county on
the "ould sod" Many Of the des-
cendants of the original takers Of
lands own fine farms
there today.

Stand for Reforms Advoc by Gov
Warner

Sault st. Marie, April 25.-Afte
completing a canvass of the Republi
can and independent papers of tn,
state, the 500 Evening News, whicl
is booming Gov. Warner for re
nomination, Thursday made publ,
the result. The returns show al
overwhelming majority for the re.
forms championed by the governor
before the last session of the legis-
lature and indicate that the COVER.
nor is the leading candidate in the
estimation of the knights of the
quill. The following questions were
sent out few days ago to more than
200 editors
Do you favor a statewide primary
law?
Do you favor the retention of the
percentage clause in the existing pri-
mary law?
Do you favor the equal taxation of
telephone, telegraph and express
companies?
DO you favor the suppression Of
corrupt lobbyists?
Do you favor a law to prevent the
capitalization of public service
corporations?
Under existing political conditions,
do you favor the nomination of Gov.
Warner?
The replies received are interesting
Some of the opponents of the COVER
nor roast him to turn, calling him
political hog and using other choice
phrases in giving vent to their feel
ings. But the papers that are for
the governor, and they are in the
lead, reply with great praise for the
executive. Most of the editors who
replied favor the reforms advocated
by Gov. Warner at the last session of
the legislature.
Eighty-fve papers have already
announced their support of the gov
ernor, 81 are still on the fence, &C
Republican papers are divided in
their support of other candidates and
43 independent papers are opposed
to Warner.
One noteworthy feature is that

primary law, while such measure
is desired by $50. The News makes
a claim that.all of the 43 papers OPP
posing the governor supported the
measures of the boxers" during re-
cent sessions of the legislature.
The retention Of the percentage
clause in the primary law was favor
ed by rs editors, several arguing for
a smaller percentage. Most of the
papers opposed to primary reform
are opposed to the denomination of
the governor.
The only question the editors
seem agreed upon is that overcapital-
fzation of public service corporations
should be prohibited. One paper OPP
posed the anti-lobbyist plan and
three oppose the equal taxation of
corporations mentioned in the list of
questions

The new pension law for widows
grants a fiat $12 month to all wild
ows Of soldiers who were married
prior to June 81, 1890. Widows
should understand that no new APP
plication is necessary for those now
on the pension rolls. The increase
and new pension certificates will be
issued by the agencies where the pen
sioner is paid. This increase will be
made without any action on the part
of the pensioner. The services of an
attorney Is not necessary.
Applications will be necessary
from those who have heretofore
been denied pensions on account of
having an income OF $3.50 or more.
Those who have been rejected for
that reason can now make applica-
ton and receive their pension.
This new law was approved by the
president April 10, 1908, and appli-
cation should be made under "Act of
April 10, 1903" Where new appli-
cation is made attorneys may be en-
ployed.

Rev. Church May cave the City

| In the Christian Herald, the state
| paper of the Baptist church, of re-
cent date, there appeared an article
saying that Rev. F. l.. Church, of this
city, contemplated studying for a
4 Phi. ID, at the University of Chicago.
When asked about the matter Sat
| urday morning Rev. Church said
that he had received letter from the
| head of the University of Chicago,
| asking him to come there and study
for a Phi. D., the grounds for the re-
| quest being the good standing of Mr..
Church when he graduated from the
seminary he being at the head of
his class. Such men as this, the
large universities are always looking
for to take Phi. d. To get a degree
| it is necessary to do something orig
inal in the way of writing thesis,
| which is passed on by the college fac
ulty and if it is considered good
enough to warrant the issuing of a
degree, the student gets it, if not he
is told to go back and study some
| more. He has the use of the Ii
braries of the college, and pays no
tuition, only martriculation fees and
for different books that it becomes
necessary for him to buy This Of
fer of free tuition is made only to
ministers.
The university is looking for a
church for the local pastor in or near
Chicago, which he can take care of
and yet take his course in the school,
They have been Informed as to con-
ditions here and will try to get q
place as good for Mr.. Church, who
says that it will have to be good
one, but if it comes he will probably
take it.
Rev. Church has an offer to do
evangelistic work through Michigan,
something that is considered to be a
fine offer, and which position carries
with it big chances for advancement.
Rev. VIM. Berey left last Wednes-
day for his new appointment at Wood
land. The first day he drove to Caro-,
Thursday to Flint and the following
day to Owosso where he left his faith
full horse and made the remainder of
the trip by train. Sunday he preach
ed two sermons to appreciative con-
gregations, Monday he moved his
household goods from the railroad
station to the parsonage and on Tues
day he left for Owosso to- get his
horse. Verify, Mr.. Bergey has been
leading a strenuous life for man Of
20 years.-Cass City Courier.
