The Human Note.


Through the harmonies of heaven stole a
note of throbbing pain,
Touched with longing, tinged with sad
ness, seeming human in its birth;
Seeming less the stainless music hat it
meet for sue domain,
Than the cry of some dazed mortal,
yearning backward toward the
earth.
But It did not sound forever. this stray
note SO passionate;
Soon the singer. now all-angel, sang
with others round the throne;
GLORY, glory!" Past, forgotten, life and
love beyond the gate.
Tha before had set his singing to a
tragic undertone.
Yet there vanished then a richness more
than psaltery or lutte
them, worshipping the Lord anear;
For within the vibrant grieving, now for
ever hushed and mute,
Lay the pathos and endeavor, hope and
heartbreak, love and fear;
Yea, he istful human cropping. n the
doubt that makes It dear.

Rev. West Receivers His Eyesisht.

A communication from Marine City
to the Port Huron Herald says that
Rev. Julian West, former pastor of
the M. E. church at Columbiaville, now
at Bad Axe, has recovered his eyesight.
Mr.. West, it says, has been blind for
many years and was supposed to be in
durable, but recently having occasion
to get advice for his sons sight was in
duced to try an operation on his own,
which is said to have been entirely
successful. The many Lapeer county
friends of Mr.. West will be pleased to
hear this piece of good news, and will
hope every word of it is true.-Lapeer
Clarion.
Mr.. West was pastor of the NJ E.
church at Perry for two years and had
many friends in the county who hope
the good news contained in the above
is true.

Story Denied.

AS we expected the story concerning
the death and burial of Mrs Octavio
Swineford, which was published all
over the country last week, has been
absolutely denied by her son, Arthur,
who returned from Colorado, Tuesday.
He says the funeral services of his
mother were conducted from the Cath
olic church at Manitou and the burial
was in an appropriate casket The
money sent from Owosso to meet the
expenses was received and used. Who
started the story is an unsolved mystery.

Board of Supervisors.

The board adjourned last week Thurs
day after one of the most HARMONIOUS
sessions ever held in the county and
from a taxpayers point of view one of
the most satisfactory. The county tax
for the year 1909.1O will be but $4S, 600,
the year prior being $4,000, and when
it is considered that there may be
loss of $1,000 income from saloon
licenses it will be seen that the conduct
of county affairs has been carried on IN
an exceedingly economical manner. In
fact the bills allowed were less than at
any October session in great many
years. There are several reasons for
this. The sheriff's Office under the
most excellent business management of
Jonn A. Watson has cost but small
fraction of what it has under previous
administrations. The bills of coroners
which were formerly big and un-
necessary item haye been cut to almost
nothingI because of the action of the
board in refusing to allow inquests on
any and almost every body when the
death was sudden.
The bills of physicians and druggists
in contagious disease cases were reduc.
ed by the refusal of supervisors to pay
bills where the people were able to pay
themselves and will be still further re-
duced by the order of the board to
health officers to consult with super
visors before charging large amounts to
the county in cases where the pay from
individuals was doubtful or simply
meant to sdoctors and druggists the
usual wait that merchants and other
professional men have in getting their
pay.
The salary of the drain commissioner
was fixed at $1,000 and expenses and $500
for horse hire. The clerical work on
drains will be paid from the drain fund
as usual.
The committee on equalization made
reduction in the total valuation of
every township but one and both cities
and the report of the committee was
unanimous and accepted and adopted
by the board unanimously. The Sol
diers Relief Commission asked no ap-
preparation for the year 1910 having
enough in their fund to carry on the
work.
The Dorcas home was voted $500 by a
unanimous vote, but an expenditure for
hospital in Owosso was not thought
advisable until more money was raised
by individuals and more definite plans
made as to what rates could be made
for INDECENT county patients or contag-
ious disease cases. The matter will be
given thorough discussion next year,
and some help extended, probably. The
amount allowed by law for the county
normal of the Owosso schools $131.27
was voted.

Perry.

The Owosso.L Lansing Electric line is
an assured fact. Work on this line has
already begun, there being three gangs
on the job between Morrice and Shafts
burg. The effort is being concentrated
at this point in an effort to get the steel
laid there as soon as possible to get at
some gravel to be used in construction
work at other points.
The route as laid out goes on the
south side of Pine Lake, but an effort is
being made to induce the management
to run it around to the north side of the
lake. This change would make the road
one mile longer and the company may
prefer to take care of the resort bust.
ness with stub line which is already
in at the lake. The road follows the
Grand Trunk from Haslett to Morrice
and the highway from Morrice to
Owosso.
The only possible danger of Owosso
losing the line would be in case of hold
up in the right of way between Morrice
and Owosso There is a rumor that
will not down that Flint would very
much like to secure the line. 1t is to
be hoped that the farmers along the
line will not be 80 blind to their own
interests as to block the enterprise by
selfish and unjust demands. The road
as now proposed would supply long
felt need of better connection with
the thriving townships and villages in
the south part of the country.
Also Pine Lake is splendid resort
and this would be easily reached by this
route. 1t should be matter of person
al interest to everyone to encourage
this project and, if opportunity offers,
to lend hand to help it along.
The above, written by prominent
citizen of Perry, indicates that there is
some possibility yet that the line may
be lost to the farmers residing between
Morrice and Owosso and to this city.
If this is 80 every possible effort should
be put forth to assist in getting the
needed right of way. Not a single
chance should be taken by Owosso-the
road will be great help to every
interest in the city. If the committee
representing Owosso needs any assis-
tance, put your shoulder to- the wheel If
you are asked to.
A line from Morrice states that a
number of families of the men in charge
or working on the line of the road have
moved to that village and that about
fifty men are at work on the grading
near that village.

Intimates that Owosso is Not Dry or
Sunday.

The Durand Express states number
of Flint citizens spent Sunday in Owos-
so and that their condition in the depot
at Durand, while waiting for train con-
nection showed very plainly that they
had not gone dry while here. A visit
from the town marshall and an earnest
effort on the part of some of the crowd
kept partial order so that all escaped
arrest. This is a hint to local officers.
