Golden Wedding.

Wednesday being the fiftieth an
niversary dn the married life of Mr..
and Mrs. William II. Dean of Rush
township, the event was celebrated
in the Church of Christ in Hender-
son.
The church was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion and the com
mittee spared no pains in arranging
an interesting program for the en-
tertainment of all present. Visitors
were present from various parts OF
the state and also from other states
During the morning hours the audi
ence were entertained by vocal and
instrumental music and by a comical
recitation by N. Farley.
Dinner was served in the church.
In the afternoon Rev. ]. w. Bor-
den read a paper which gave the
history of the couple to the present
time. The paper showed that Mr..
and moved to Michigan in 1860 ana
with the exception of three years
they have been citizens of this county
The paper also showed that they
have been for a number of years
Jealous and influential members of
the Church of Christ. The wedding
march was then played by Miss Ethel
Hunt and the aged couple marched
to the sacred stand when Rev. c. M.
Keene in an amusing yet an appro-
pirate ceremony for the occasion
united the couple for another fifty
years in the bonds of matrimony
Rev. Keene convinced each of us that
he is fully prepared for such occa-
sions.
Rev. r. r. Cook of Oakley in be-
half of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dean presented the gifts which were
expressions of love and best wishes
to Mr.. and Mrs. Dean. Valuable
presents were sent by persons from
a distance. The citizens of Hender-
son and vicinity presented them with
a beautiful bedstead that looked as
If it was gold plated.
Short speeches were made by Rev.
Demming, Rev. Sias, Henry Moore,
A. Splitter. All who were present
felt that this would be a day that
would long be remembered by the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Dean.

bine for our own protection.
Roll call at this point showed but
two families absent, after which the
committee on resolutions reported
the following:

who lacked the moral courage to
place themselves on record in this
matter. Signed by Committee.
Motion prevailed that the repor,
be accepted and the resolutions be
placed on record and published in

Mr.. Fauth advocated keeping a rec
ord of each COW culling out the poor
ones. General discussion on the

! Some of the newspapers about the
state which are commenting on the
decision of the supreme court on the
Shiawassee county Indebtedness are
evidently laboring under the impress
sion that the money was borrowed
for the court house building fund.
While part. Of the money was used
for the construction Of the court
house not a dollar of it was borrow
ed on account of the building fund.
1t was borrowed and placed to the
credit of the contingent fund. Shia-
~assee county with many other
counties in the state, has been in the
habit OF replenishing the contingent
fund nearly every year to meet run
ming expenses before the county tax
was turned into the county treasury.
rhis the supreme court decision says
is. illegal and it will be we'll for mon
ey loaners all over the state to wake
up anu take notice that they cannot
collect such loans unless they are
authorized by vote Of the ptople.

Based on very accurate statistics
covering a period of six months and
obtained from every post Office in the
country it is estimated that $4,000
600 would be required to pay the
postage on the franked matter sent
free through the mails last year by
the government and officials who are
entitled to frank matter. If the pos
tai service was given credit for this
amount the surplus for the past year
would have been something like $780,
100000 instead of deficit of $16,-
100000. This fact should be borne
in mind when considering the postal
service, which is the greatest in the
world.

Mr.. Sprinkle was not in favor of, this

for our orchards. Mr. Love thinks
the orchards should be fortified so
that other crops would grow abund-
