Will Keep Whiskey.

Much against the wish of some of the
druggists of the county, all drug stores
will keep whiskey on hand after May
to be sold on prescription. Many of
the doctors were hoping that the drug
gists would not keep whiskey and thus
make it possible for them to prescribe
it. The many and troublesome regula-
tions of the new liquor law make the
whiskey part of legitimate druggists
business nuisance and no one could
blame them if they refused to keep it.

Fayette Square May Be a Real Park.

At the suggestion of Aid. John
BRANDED, the council committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds and Mayor
Burke will investigate and report on a
way to beautify and make real park
of Fayette square. 1t is a good play
ground now, but many citizens haye
always wanted trees and flowers plant
ed, fountain put in, seats and benches
placed and other things done to make
the land of more service to the public
generally. The city's possession of the
square, has always rested on the good
will of the holders of the original title,
who gave it to the city for park pur-
poses with provision for its reversion
to them if not so used

MOST SUCCESSFUL BANQUET.
Large Attendance, Splendid Re-
sponses and Delightful Social
Occasion.

The first annual banquet of the Owos-
so Improvement Association, held at
the Elks' Temple on the evening of the
14th was an unqualified success in every
particular, a credit to the Association
and to the committees having charge of
the arrangements. If nothing else of
good comes from it it has awakened a
get-together spirit which has been need
ed if the objects of the Improvement
Association are to be fully realized.
The address of Secretary Wheeler of the
Jackson Chamber of Commerce, the
principal speaker of the evening, has
been the subject of conversation all this
week whenever any of the banquetters
have gotten together and his visit to
the city will result in untold good if
his suggestions are followed out as they
are quite likely to be, especially as to
the proper plan for securing new in
dustries.
One feature worthy of note was the
fact that those present were seated
promptly at 7 o'clock, the hour an.
nounced for the gathering, so that at
quarter to ten the program had been
completed and plenty of time was left
to discuss the addresses of the evening
in an informal way. After the serving
of bounteous repast by the Ladies'
Guild of the Episcopal church. Acting
President D. NJ. Christian made brief

jects of the Association and its work in

Owosso High School Wins Good
Game.

The first high school base ball game
OF the season, was won by Owosso
from Lansing, at Athletic park on Sat-
urday by a score of 2 to 1. Owosso
was strong in the box, Simpson hold
ing the visitors to few hits, while the
Lansing pitcher was wild. The home
team was better at the hat, but Lans-
ing faster in the field. All the Owosso
boys showed up well and it is expected
this years showing will be the best
ever made.

The only excuse for gayeties was

TSHE Iull before the storm has been
experienced during the last week
The only excuse for gayeties was
charity, and those who did not
have that excuse just braved it and had
guests. but invitations were invariably

the quiet, and the week will burst forth
with a food of good times. not only for

young. It has been said and rightfully, that
there is no place where Older people have
so much OF pleasure and gayety as IN
Washington. And everything bears out
this theory.
