Death of Caleb =. Dickinson.

By the death of Caleb S. Dickinson of
New Haven township, Shiawassee coun-
ty has lost one of the best citizens, a
man universally respected and against
whom no one was ever heard to speak.
He had been in poor health for more
than year and although he had con-
suited the best medical authorities,
nothing could be done to help him and
he passed away Sunday as the result of
a cancer in his stomach. Mr.. Dickin'
son was born in Vermont-and beloved
to go back to the scenes of his boyhood
among the hills-in 1922, came to this
county more than forty years ago
and made his home in New Haven
township, where he cleared and devel-
oped farm of two hundred acres,
which he diyided equally among his
children. He was a retiring, quiet man
we'll read on all public questions, al
ways interested in matters Of state and
national Importance, and his counsel
was freely sought by neighbors and
friends. Many times elected to posi-
tions of honor by his fellow townsmer
including the offices of supervisor ant
township treasurer-he was generally
reluctant to accept Office and only die
so when in manner forced in. Thi
does not mean that Mr.. Dickinson
shrank from doing his full duty as cit
izen, but rather as he once expressed i
to the writer that "more good can Otter
be done and mans life spent to better
advantage if he works in the ranks ant
can be a counsellor of the leaders. " The
world is better because of the life of G.
s. Dickinson. Funeral services were
held Wednesday afternoon. Five chill
dren survive, Roy and Orrie, Mrs. A
Callard, Mrs HI. E. Alliton, Mrs. Franh
Springer.

dence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Cole of

the appointed time the young people

the ceremony was performed by the
brides uncle, Rev. William Cole of
Columbiaville, assisted by Rev. j. w.
Priest, pastor of Fenton Baptist church.
The bride was gowned in white India
silk and carried shower bouquet of
roses. After the ceremony three

Reception Day at Central School.

The members of the school board, Supt.
and Mrs. Hanson and the high school
faculty were reception committee to
several hundred patrons of the Owosso
schools at the Central building last
Friday evening and the affair was a
decided success and many are sorry now
that they did not avail themselves of
the opportunity to meet the teachers,
see the work that is done and the
magnificent building in which the high
school work is conducted. Trustees
Shattuck and Sprague met the guests
and showed them to the Superinten-
dents office where Trustee Sutherland
introduced them to Mr. and Mrs, Han
son. The domestic science department
was visited where class in charge of
Miss Nina Daniels showed an immacu-
late kitchen and the proper way to
operate in it. The gymnasium in
charge of Prof. Splitter held the atten-
tion of all, class of girls clad in gym
nasium suits doing a lot of clever
exercises. A class in normal training
under Prof. Carr showed the practical
and up to- -dateness of the education in
high schools. In the science depart
ment Prof. Goodrich's scholars showed
Interesting stereopticon views. An
entertainment in the assembly room
was participated in by Misses Helen
Ward and Nellie Westcott, vocal soloists,
and punch was served in the domestic
Iscience room. All the building was
brilliantly lighted and the patrons of
the school who were so wise as to go
will be glad with hundreds of others to
accept another invitation.

nouncing change from the credit to

nation of this change will be found on

The Messers Hall, in adopting this
new policy, are taking forward step
that has already been made by many OF
the business firms of Michigan. Just
recently leading business house in
Durand, and another in Alma, took this
same step. There will be the same line
of reliable goods at the Hall store you
have always found there, and the man y
cash bargains that will be offered from
time to time under the new policy will
amply demonstrate the soundness OF
the new move.

Former Owosso Lady Badly Injured
in an Automobile Accident.

A dispatch from Vaudeville, Mich,
gives the following particulars of an au-
tomobile accident on Wednesday, in
which Mrs Harvey Osborn, recently a
resident of this city, was very seriously
injured: ''In the mad plunge of an auto
down an almost perpendicular embank-
ment in which the machine turned
completely over twice, all of the occu-
pants were thrown out, and Mrs. Har-
yey Osborn aged go, of this place, was
probably fatally injured, while the 9TH
ers were but slightly hurt.
The automobile was owned and was
being operated by Earl VanAvery of
Kalamazoo, who with his wife and lit
tie child had come up from Kalamazoo
for a visit with Mrs. VanAvery's moth
er, Mrs. Osborn and her husband. 1t is
stated that this was the first trip for
VanAvery in his new machine and while
the five were driving to cemetery in
Coleman school district, three miles
from here they went over high grade
across a gulley.
The machine as it started down a
slight incline toward the center of the
fill, gained great speed and VanAvery
lost control. 1t headed straight off a
20-foot embankment. AS it went over,
the rear of the car was thrown com
pletely over and in its descent made
two complete somersaults, landing at
the bottom of the ravine right side up
almost uninjured. The occupants were
hurled from the car and fell some dis
tance from the machine. Mrs. Osborn,
who is very heavy woman, struck on
her side, which was badly crushed as a
subsequent examination proved, and
doctors state that she will probably not
survive.
Several machines were hurried to the
scene and the injured were brought in
in cars, with the exception of Mrs. Os.
born, who was conveyed to the city in
an ambulance and taken to her home"
