was taking breakfast at the tavern
kept by Daniels father, Daniel and his
brother Ezekiel, who were little boys
with dirty faces and snarly hair, came
to the table and asked me for bread
and butter. l complied with their re-
quest, little thinking that they would
become very distinguished men. Dan
lei dropped his piece Of bread on the
sandy floor, and the buttered side, of
course, was down. He looked at 1t
moment, then picked it up and showed

"'What pity! Please give me a

THE OWOSSO TIMES
EDMUND O. DEWEY, EDITOR.
OWOSSO, MICH, FEB. 20, 1910.
THREE.FlFTHs VOTE REQUIRED
Ordinances for Franchises For New
Electric Lines and Cheaper Lights
And Power Ought to DO Sanctioned
Unanimously.

Owosso people may he pardoned a
certain amount of skepticism when
the subject of electric railroads is
showered with promises for years
past, and not single promise has
been kept. Had all the lines which
were projected in ten years been
built, the city would today have been
covered with a veritable cobweb Of
steel. But none has been construct
ed, and everybody is from Missouri
on the railroad proposition.
This unbelieving state of mind,
should not be allowed to work harm
on March "a week from next
Wednesday-when a special election
will be held for the purpose of vot-
ing on the franchises of the Lansing
e Northeastern Railway, otherwise
called the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
line and the Commonwealth Power
Company. 1t can be stated with the
most positive assurance that the
Lansing line will be built
between the two cities named If a
franchise is granted in this city, and
that big, fast, comfortable interur-
ban cars, giving a cheaper rate of
fare and making better time than
the Michigan Central passenger
trains will be in daily operation, be-
fore snow flies next fall.
Various false rumors in regard to
this line have been dispelled and the
promoter, none other than wealthy
and progressive Michigan Unit
ed Railways company, has given con-
vincing evidences of good faith.
Work on the grades south of Owos-
so has continued all winter, despite
the severe weather; and now anoth-
er steam shovel has been added to
the construction equipment. The NJ. |
u. r. has sold none of it's holdings
10 the d. U. r., and has no intention |
of so doing. The line will positive
iy run from Lansing to Owosso. IL |
may be-probably will be-extended |
either from Morrice to Durand and !
Flint, or from Owosso to the places
named, but Owosso's chances of a
road will not be affected thereby.
We get our line first. The project
ed extensions to Durand, Flint and
Saginaw will come afterwards.
So If you want to see Owosso pro-
gress and develop, forget past dis
appointments and turn out week
from Wednesday to vote for both
franchises. Both must be granted,
for without the power guaranteed by
the Commonwealth company, the L.
& N. E. cannot enter the city. The
law requires a three-fifths majority
to grant franchises. Your vote is
needed.

A Retiary.

A retiary was the name ola Roman
gladiator armed in q peculiar way. He
was furnished with a trident and net,
with no more covering than a short
tunic, and with these implements he
endeavored to entangle and dispatch
his adversary, who was called a secu-
tor from seoul, to follow and was
armed with a helmet, a shield and
sword. The name Of the first is pro-
nounced as If spelled re-shi-a-ry, the
accent on the first syllable.

AIabama's CAPITALS,

When Alabama was territory its
capital was at st. Stephens, in Wash
ington county. The convention that
framed the constitution under which
it was admitted into the Union was
held in Huntsville, where the first leg
islature met in October, 1919, and the
first governor was inaugurated. Caha-
ba became the seat Of government in
1920. In 1925 the capital was removed
to Tuscaloosa, and in 1916 1t was again
removed, this time to Montgomery.
