Begin Apple Growing.

1t is significant and congratulatory
fact that many farmers of this locality
are again turning their attention to-
ward the growing of apples. Old or.
chards are being rejuvenated by prun.
ing, grating. cultivating and spraying,
while many young orchards are being
set out. This is as it should he, and il
is to be sincerely hoped that apple rails
ing will once again play prominent
part in our agricultural products.
Twenty five years ago apple growing
brought much easy money to our farm
owners, but they haye neglected to care
for their orchards, and the crop has
waned. Now it is discovered that
Michigan apples have no superiors and
but few equals, but orchards must be
attended to in order that paying crops
may be produced. There is no secret,
however, about apple raising, and oui
state agricultural college will give any
farmer full information as to spraying
and the care of orchards. Union City

Local Option Fights Still On.

Although more "wet" than dry"
votes were cast at the recent election
in Genesee, Jackson and Calhoun
counties the boards of supervisors have
80 far refused to declare the repeal of
local option. In Jackson county the
dry forces have filed charges declaring
gross irregularities in the conduct of
the election in many ways, and in all
three counties the local option people
claim that the "wets" did not get a
majority of all the votes cast at the
election. The claim is made that all
spoiled ballots must be counted in the
vote cast aud if this is proven to be the
law the "drys" will win in each of the
counties. In Calhoun county the board
declared this to be the law and decided
that local option is to remain in force
The other side will commence court
proceedings at once and the matter will
go to the supreme court for final decis-

Obituary-John DoueaI Richmond.

John Dougal Richmond was born in
st. Mary's, Canada, Dec. z, 1S43. Two
years later his parents came to Michi-
gan, and settled in Ovid. In the year
1851 he was married to Miss Irena A.
Skutt. Dec. % Of the same year he
enlisted in Co. d 14th Infantry, First
Brigade, End Division, and was dis
charged for disability Jan. 8, 1854, after
three years and one month of heroic
service. He fought in many engage
ments and was shot through the limb
at the battle of Chattanooga, Tenn.
This wound proved great source of
affiiction and was not healed until four
years ago.
To this union were born seven child

reward, Dougal, Adelbert, Johnnie, who
died in infancy, and one at birth.

years he has suffered poor health and
though many time near the brink he
patiently waited the Masters call which
finally came Wednesday morn April 8.
He was hard working, energetic man,

family has proven he will be greatly
missed.
Funeral services were conducted
from the M. P. church, Friday, April
7th, at 2 o'clock, by Rev. J. d. Young
assisted by Elder Stephenson. The
large attendance and the many beauti'
full and costly floral pieces betoken the
esteem in which he was held. Those

funeral were: Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Tobin,
Mr.. and Mrs. Nagal and Mrs. Waller OF
Detroit; Mrs. Fulton and son of Vernon
Mrs. James Megarah, Orion; Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas Andersona and Mrs. Clayton

Smith and Mr.. and Mrs. Buck of Ovid
To the grief stricken widow and also
to the other relatives and friends we
extend our heartfelt sympathy in their
sore affliction and bereavement.
"Thou art gone to the grave,
But we will not deplore thee;
Where God was thy ransom,
Thy guardian and uide.
He gave thee, He took thee,
And he will restore thee,
And death has no sting,
For the Savior has died."
