Every Day An Opportunity.

(The following, written by Robert b.
Malone, is favorably compared by cri'
tics with Ingalls, famous poem, "Op'
portunity.'O
They do me wrong who say l come no
more
When once | knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day stand outside your door,
And bid you wake and rise to hight
and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane;
Each night burn the records OF the
day.
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that
have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb;
NV judgments seal the dead past with
It's dead,
But never bind moment yet to come
Though deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep,
lend my arm to all who say Il can,
No shamefaced outcast ever sank 80
deep
But might arise and be again man
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast2
Dost reel from righteous retribution
blow?
Then turn from blotted archives OF the
past
And find the futures pages white as
snow.
Art thou mournerY Then rouse thee
from thy spell
Art thou sinner Sins may be for
given;
Each morning gives thee wings to tiee
from hell,
Each night star to guide thy feet
to heaven.

w. 3. Camburn Succeeds Parkill
s. Son.

Announcement was made Tuesday
morning of the sale of the drug business
of Parkill 81 Son to Wade B. Camburp,
who has been clerk in the store for
fifteen years and for long periods dur
ing the absence of Stanley E. Parkill
practically in charge of the business
The business was established m 1865 by
the late DR.. G. p. Parkill and George
Rowell, the interest of the latter being
purchased by J. II. Howe who held an
interest until 1870 when DR.. Parkill be-
came the proprietor. In 1885, S. E.
Parkill became associated with his
father under the firm name of Parkill
q Son and at the death of DR.. Parkill
in 1898, he became sole proprietor, re
tanning the old firm name. The store
has always commanded fine trade and
the Parkills have had the confidence of a
circle of friends which covered the
county. Mr.. Camburn enters business
under the most favorable circumstances
and his success cannot be questioned.
S. E. Parkill will take a much needed
long rest before even contemplating
new business plans 1t is a source of
satisfaction to know that he expects to
retain his home here

The Blue Ribbon Meeting.

With more good horses in training
than in other years the blue ribbon
meeting at Detroit, July 26 to 30,
promises to be the best renewal during
the quarter century of activity on the
part of the Detroit Drying Club. De-
troit holds the place of honor, its meet
ing being the inaugural of the grand
circuit, and for this reason the racing
is better than any other city, because
it is the first clash among the horses.
During the winter and early spring
upwards of FIVE hundred horses were in
training at Memphis, Macon, Selma,
and other southern points, Many of
these have moved to the north where
they have been joined by hundreds OF
others. At the Michigan state fair
grounds alone two hundred are being
prepared for the campaign. The back
wardness of the spring has not affected
the speed of the horses for June l.

line, some OF the early work being 8

fail to pay the required license for their

Of the mayor to collect such licenses.
Mr.. Burke said he didn't believe there
was sufficient authority 10 collect the
same. although he added that the finance
committee is going to look into the mat
ter to enforce the collection of such Ii
censes. Mr.. Uhler said there was plenty
of law on the subject, and added that it
simply needs to be enforced. No further
action in the matter was taken.
Mayor Paff this morning said that ii
was true that certain telegraph and ex-
press companies doing business had not
paid the required license. He further
stated that he had placed the matter. in
