derson Of Colurnbus. o., representing q
million dollar land company, with
headquarters in Burlington, Ia, has
purchased from the wife of Senator
Hale of Maine 1000 acres Of land stu
ated four miles northeast of Lansing,
known as Chambers marsh. He states
the COMPANY will spend upwards OF
$40, 900 in improving the land.
Local capitalists were beaten out in
the deal, according to information OBJ
tanned here and 1t was because of de-
ferring action that resulted In the for.
eign corporation gaining the coveted
land.
Chambers marsh was formerly the
property of the late Senator Zach
Chandler. On his death the land re-
verified to his daughter, the wife of
Senator Hale of Maine. For years the
vast tract, which is located within
sight of the capitol dome, has remained
in state of idleness and it was through
mere accident that Mr.. Sandersou
gained title of it for the company he
represents. Mr. Sanderson states his
company will at once proceed to dyke
and drain the marsh after which 1t will
be Invested of what timber growth il
contains and will be made into small
truck farms.
Mr. Sanderson says his company FOL
years has been investing its money il
western lands, but henceforth will
leave western lands out of all considera
ton and purchase and improve land
in this state.

A very full aud interesting report
of the work of the state association

up-to-date subjects were treated.
Among them was the school book
question. In some other states there
is a school book commission. We
have none in Michigan consequently
we are paying from 25 to 40 per cent
more for our text books. In Canada
the school books are compiled, print
cd and sold by the government at

If you are sick and miserable, and

Prof. Mariner Will Locate in Florida.

Prof. w. M. Mariner, principal of the
Second Ward School, and for more than
fifty years connected with the education
al life of Louisville, has rendered his
resignation TO Superintendent Holland
and the Board of Education, and will not
be member of the public school forces
at the beginning of the school year,
September 5.
Recently Prof. Mariner went TO Flori-
da for supposedly brief stay and in his
letter of resignation states that he is so
delighted with his surroundings in the
Southern State that he has decided to
make Florida his permanent home.
He expressed his appreciation of the
compliment paid him through his re-
election TO the position of principal of
the Second Ward School, and says he
will always retain his keen interest in
the Louisville schools. AT the time he
left for Florida, il is said, he had not de-
cided 10 resign his position, but has
reached his decision in the last few
weeks.
The friends of Prof. Mariner yeSter-
day expressed keen surprise at his dccis-
ion, as il was not known, even among
his most intimate friends, that he con
templated such step until the news of
his resignation was received in Louis
vile unofficially.
Through his long connection with
the public schools, of Louisville, Prof.
Mariner became known TO hundreds of
men and women whom he taught, and
whose children he taught in later years.
1t was said by one OF his friends last
night that Prof. Mariner was connected
with the Louisville schools before the
Civil War, and that, after serving in the
army, he returned TO his profession, and
has been continuously connected with
educational matters through all the sue
ceeding years.
No decision as to his successor has
been reached. The Second Ward
School is situated in Market street near
Wenzel street.-Louisville Courier our
nal, Aug. 18th.
AS result of the excursion party that
visited Crescent City last spring, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mariner of Louisville, KY, have
become permanent residents. They
were so favorably impressed with our
town on their visit here that they return
ed and purchased the Tenning place and
are already at home there.
