A dispatch to the Detroit Journal
mentions A. B. Cook, of this county,
as q possible contestant with Senator

Rev. Carlos III. Hanks, pastor of
the Congregational church in Owosso,
has received a call from the First
Congregational church of Denver,
Colo, where he recently preached
one Sunday. Not only Owosso, but
the entire county, will lose a good
man and worthy citizen when Mr..
Hanks leaves for his new field.-In
timid way, several newspapers of
the county have intimated that the
! prohibition sentiment is growing in
| Shiawassee and perhaps the ques-
ton of local option will sometime
come before the people. The Express
will go that one better by giving its
! belief that in the very near future
the board of supervisors will gaze
upon a list of signatures of good
people of this county, which list will
be too strong for question, and the
! demand will be for a vote on local
option. Shiawassee county people
can make up their minds they will be
called upon to vote on this question
-Rumor has it that J. j. Whelan
now chairman of the board of sup
ervisors, has bee in his bonnet
