Without essaying the impassioned

scored the record and character OF the
Count de Castellane and said he was
wholly unfit To have the custody OF his
children. He charged that the real
purpose OF the count was To raise
money and satisfy his vengeance on
the Prince and Princess de Sagan. even
at the expense OF the interests of his
children. whose minds he had contn.

Counsel for the princess contenhed

Show Their Regards.

Bancroft, April 9.-The funeral of
the late Norman K. Potter was held
Tuesday and the large attendance be-
spoke the high regard in which the
deceased was held, and the deep
sympathy of friends for the wife and
daughter twice sorely bereaved in
the last few weeks. The floral Of
ferings were numerous.
Norman K. Potter was born in
Marion, Wayne county, New York,
May 4, 1888. He came to Michigan
in the fall of 1856, and to the coun-
ty of Shiawassee in 1856. He was
united in marriage to Frances H.
Agnew, daughter of VIM. and Fran
ces Agnew, of Antrim, in 1859.
In 1864 they purchased the farm
on which they resided until a little
more than two years ago, when they
removed to their present home in
Bancroft, where Mr.. Potter died Fri
day, April 3, 1908.
Mr. Potter worked as carpenter
and contractor for many years, took
an active part in politics and farmers
organizations, being seventh degree
member of the Grange. For several
years he travelled about the state as
lecturer at farmers institutes, max
ing one trip last season.
Two children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Potter--a son and a daughter.
The son, VIM. a., died after brief
illness, just two months previous to
his father. The widow and daugh-
ter, Stella E., and two brothers,
Charles G. and Harmon S. of Marion,
N. Y, survive him and are left to
mourn his death
The funeral services were held
from his late residence at Bancroft,

Says Many Persons Here Can ID
~, l'aT sFs Made tisppy Again.

There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent authority,
who writes for readers of large East
ern daily paper, will be highly apprec-
lated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
| rilla Shake these well in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few VIC
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture,
and in most cases permanent cure is
| the result.
This simple recipe is said to strength.
| en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poison acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feel that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffer from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
| up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take if our read
ers ask them.

the buildings. The climate is no good
for farming, too cold. Corn will not
grow; only stalks. Potatoes are very
poor; do not get ripe too cold nights.
Apples and peaches are poor. Other
fruits and berries are good. Water
melons will not grow; musk melons
grow to the size of good apple Pump
kins and squashes are little poor things,
tomatoes will not get ripe any earlier
than in the east. The hay is like hay
in Michigan that has had from one to
two good hard rains on it. The dew is
so heavy beans cannot be cured onions
have to be dried by heat to be handled
in the groceries. They don't get ripe.
Stock that is out in pasture does not
eat salt, the dew is salt from the sound.
1t is country of two kinds of business.
LAUNDERING is the main business when
there is anything wrong with that
everything is wrong. There is some
difference with the lumber men and
the railroads. Now the other business
is the real estate. They think if a
man comes from the east he is foolish
or crazy, and they tell what a fine
country it is. 1t rains from December
until April, and where the road is not
planked or paved the mud is as deep as
the snow is in the east. In some of the
cities there is an ordinance to clean the
moss off the roof of the buildings There
is lots of land east of the mountains
that would be good for farming if it
could be irrigated, but there is no water
for it. Do not even buy land where a
company controls the water. They
always have land near the head of the
ditch, and when your land is improved
