IN UNLUCKY THIRTEEN
GratiOt County Republican (?) Super
VlSOrS Elect Democrat Chairman.
JOHN |. SMITH OF EMERSON
Vote Showed Fifteen Votes For the Democrat
and Ten For The Republican.

Last spring the voters of Gratiot
elected twenty five supervisors, thirteen
of which secured their election on the
republican ticket while twelve Of
those elected admitted they were
democarats unionlsts or members of
the peoples party and were elected as
such. The above is ancient history,
but the question now is what became
of the thirteen republicans last Mon
day, when the hoard met for organi-
zationY Instead of holding a caucus.
selecting a candidate for the office of
chairman and then with their
thirteen votes electing him they
chose to do otherwise and after p. Nj.
Smith of this city had been made
temporary chairman Thomas j. Clark
of Alma. moved that an informal
ballot be taken for the Office of chair
man. The ballot was ordered. and
resulted as follows:

P. NJ Smith, republican,. 49,.
Hal Lowrey. republican. an............ 3

The informal ballot was declared
formal and after meeting lasting
about fifteen minutes the board ad-
journed for he day.
The election of democrat as chair
man of the board is equivalent to
an admission that the republicans were
minus chairmanship material, Oh
else preferred to support democrat,
rather than to unite on one of their
own number.
The chairman elected, j. l.. Smith
of Emerson. has been resident of
Emerson township since 1872 and was
chairman of the board last year. He
was born in Scotland in 1856 and is a
man of firm convictions and stands
squarely for what he thinks is right
He is public spirited and has the in.
terests of firatiot county at heart.
Last fall he was the democratic can
didate for county treasurer but was
defeated by the present incumbent of

Surprising, What Kodol Will Do
For you, when you need it. But the longer you neg lect Indigestion, the you will suffer before Kodo restore Good Digestion.

And. of course, indigestion ii neg lected long enough, brings on seri- ous diseases In which Kodol cannot benefit you. Some of these there is no help for at all.
 There are, in fact, very few aiI- ments which cannot be traced di- rectly to impure blood. And i'm. pure blood is always due to . dis. ordered stomach.
 Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dyspepsia.
 Kodol will effectually assist Ma ture to secure 8 complete restora. tion of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food fn the stomach and keeping it di- gested, until the stomach is rested and can resume its own work. Ko- dol removes the cause-and the effect quickly removes itself.
 When it is recalled that Apo plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and even Consumption-are due to poor digestion and poisons thus transmitted to the blood, and throughout the system--ths impor- tance of maintaining good diges- ton is at once realized.

The greatest opportunity ever offered the
man of average means-the working mantle
man who wishes to put his money into the
safest and most profitable of all investment
mediums-good, cheap land.
This land has been the market only five
months. We have shown it on four monthly
excursions to about Ona thousand people from
nearly every state in the Union. AS q result
we have sold to them and their friends over
10000 acres in small tracts.
Think what this sort of Endorsement
means to the land seeker-to YOU! 1t proves
beyond doubt that this land offers these people
greater opportunity for large profits than any
land they can buy elsewhere. It means that
It offers YOU the same money making oppor-
trnity.
This land is located in the states of Vera
Cruz and Oaxaca, Mexico. The Vera Cruz &
1sthmus and the National Tehuantepec rail-
roads give us outlet to Atlantic and Pacific
markets. Several navigable rivers pass through
portions of the land, affording cheap transpor-
tstion to the ports of the CUR or Mexico
This land is over 100 miles nearer New York
and eastern markets than California Our
freight rate from the gulf port to New York is
but 30 cents per 100 pounds. Our shipping time
is only seven days. Think what an advantage
this gives us over California.

The climate is ideal. The rainy sea-
son begins about Nov. 1, and rains are
practically over by the middle of April
From five to eight inches of rain
falls. Even in midwinter a tenn
perature as low as 80 degrees is prac-
ticalIy unheard of. Although the ther-
mometer. reaches 95 degrees sometimes
at midday in summer, the absolute
absence of humidity in the air makes
the day far more bearable than a tenn
perature of so degrees in the Eastern
States. There is always a cool breeze
and the nights are always cool the year
round.
