HEROIC ACT OF MR.. TURNER
SAVES LITTLE URLS LIFE.

1t was incorrectly stated in the Ban
ner that Vavan Cook, the little girl
who was run over by a Jefferson
street car, was a colored girl. The
child was white and the daughter OF
Jim Cook, a well-known citizen of
North Nashville. After being struck
by the car the child was dragged
some seventy feet, but was just in
time rescued by Mr.. Frank Turner,
colored, who pulled her from under
the wheels. This is the second heroic
act of Mr.. Turner, he having only a
short time ago saved the life of Joe
Crump, who had fallen into the Cum
berland River.
Mr.. Turner when seen by a Globe
representative said that it was a case
that demanded quick action. He said
when he reached the child the guard
bar of the car had her pinned hard to
the rail. He rushed under the car
and with one shoulder forced the bar
up and picked the almost lifeless
child up in both hands. She was bad
ly bruised and a minutes delay meant
certain death. ~ j.

The teachers of Davidson County

Rev. G. III. Hanks Called to the First
Church at Denver, Colorado.

Rev. G. III. Hanks, pastor of the
Congregational church in this city,
has received a call from the First
Congregational church at Denver,
Colorado, one of the oldest and most
influential churches of the denomina-
ton in that state. Some time since
Rev. Hanks was asked to fill the pull
pit for two or three Sundays, finally,
after being urged several times to
come, he preached for them on jan
uary 9Th and was at that time in
formed that a formal call would be
extended to him to become pastor Of
the church This was received on
Wednesday, the clerk writing that
the vote was unanimous and urging
very flattering one to Rev. Hanks,
coming as it did like the recent one
from Cadillac entirely unsought. He
has the matter under consideration
and will give an answer in a few
days. In the meantime the members
of the local church hope they can
pursuade him to decline. Indeed, it
will not be an easy matter for Mr..
Hanks to leave Owosso, or Shiawas-
see county. His circle of friends
covers the county and his usefulness
is not by any means limited to his
church and it's work. Few pastors
are more happily situated and all
this will be considered when Mr.
Hanks comes to make his decision.

The officers Of the Sugar Company
and those of the recently organized
Beet Growers association had a
further conference the first of the
week relative to the requests made by
the latter, especially the one for a
fiat rate of Sc per ton for all beets
except those grown on muck land.
The officials OF the company again
insisted that they could not and
would not pay this price, claiming
that nowhere in the world is as much
paid for beets as in Michigan and
that it was absolutely impossible to
pay more and continue the business.
They also insist that there Is no more
justice in asking for fat rate on this
product than there would be for eX-
pecting the same on apples, oats
corn, hay or any other product of the
farm.
The officers of the association have
suggested that they might secure the
larger part of the acreage desired if
the fiat rate was given and that some
other of the present conditions might
be changed to lessen the expenses of
the company.

Let's Pay Up.

Everybody is more or less in debt.
No one ever lived long in this world
without coming under obligation to
someone, and every obligation is a
debt. Many of these debts are not
payable to the ones we owe them to.
Mony of them are the common debts
Of humanity, and they are payable to
humanity. For every favor we have
received, we should be ready to do a
favor to the person who favored us,
or to someone else. The sweetest
part Of life to the kindly appreciative
legations we owe to each other and
to humanity. When a favor is ask
ed Of us it is not competent for us to
ask if that person ever did us ia.
vor, but did anyone else ever do one
to us. AS our inner consciousness
answers the latter question we should
act, and since these debts, if paid at
all, must be paid, so far as we know
how, this side of eternity, no oppor-
tunity should be lost to make at
least a partial payment Michigan
ought to be good place to live in,
and it is for the cheerful soul that is
happy in making return for the fa-
vors itself has previously received.
We may not be able to pay up all
at once, but every little helps and es-
pecially so at this particular time.
The dollar that helps in q communi-
ty is the dollar that jumps around
and pays $40 worth of debts every
day. 1t is the proper thing to keep
small accounts balanced as far as
possible. Every bill met helps an
other along. Farmer.

Prohibitionists Plan Work.

About forty enthusiastic Prohibi--
tionists met at the court house In
Corunna Monday and elected four
teen delegates to the state convention
which meets at Kalamazoo April 1 ).
Rev. Blood, of Laingsburg, was elect
ed county chairman to succeed him
self. William Taylor, of Battle Creek,
was present and took a prominent
part in the discussion, besides de,
livering an address at the Methodist
church in the evening, on "The Crime
of Intemperance."
The delegates are firm in their be-
lief that there is a chance to capture
some of the state officers this year
and the meeting was in addition to
feel out the situation in Shiawassee,
with the idea of possibly petitioning
the board of supervisors for the per-
mission to vote on local option.
The method used in other coun-
ties, however, is to get the required
number of signatures to petitions
for such an election and the board
is then required by law to submit the
question to the people without alter
native for other action.

List Showing Acreage and Amount
Received.
AS in former years The Times again
gives a list of a number of farmers
who grew beets for the Owosso Sugar
Company during 1907. This list
gives the names of seventy-one farm
ers, most of whom delivered their
beets in wagons, shows the acreage
each planted, amount received per
acre and total amount. Considering
the decidedly unfavorable fall the
showing is remarkable one, the
average value of the beets being
$59.95 per acre. Any of the growers
viii admit that with warmer weather
in September and October this aver
age would have been considerably
increased. The cost per. acre was not
far from $50.
