Extension of Franchise Grantee d

Corunna. July 30.-The tan-year
extension of franchise asked by the
Michigan United Traction company,
for the Owosso-Corunna line through
Caledonia township, was granted ut
a special election held in the town
ah;p. Monday. The vote was II for
and 8 against.
This result, however, far from SET
ties the franchise matter. Corunna
city has yet to be dealt with by .ha
company, and the fight orom: S to
be a stubborn one. The aldermen are
determined to hold out for a. least
two clauses that were not included
in the draft submitted to the counc'l
By the company. These two include
provisions for the maintenance al a
waiting room in Corunna and fCl
running cars TO the Ann Arbor de-
poi.
The company is equally determined
not to include these provisions, and
the aldermen say they will prevent
the voters from securing an oppor-
tunity to vote on the measure unless
their demands are granted.
"The M. U. T. company considers
this business proposition" said Lo-
col Agent r. A. Barnett Monday eve
ming. "It has made it's offer and
now it's up to the city of Corunna."

Lennon.

A visitor strolling into the town OF
Lennon these days is much impressed
with the fact that the town is under.
going a boom; first you will notice q
new office building being erected by the
Lennon Grain Co. New houses are be.
ing erected, which indeed, are in great
demand, as you will find upon inquir'
ing. that several families have been
forced to double up, there being such a
scarcity of houses in the fast growing
village. The village dads are busy over
seeing the laying of new sidewalks
which will prove God send to the
travelling public as they try to pick
their way to the depot. A new walk
is now being laid reaching to the Grand
Trunk depot, also several new cross
walks. Hotel Lennon has taken on an
up to date appearance, having under
gone thorough cleaning by the new
proprietor, Mr.. Kirkendsll. The Len
non Savings Bank, as 1t will be known
in the future, Is doing big business
and judging from the amount OF bust
ness transacted the past two weeks the
future of the bank is bright one
Every body join and push the good worl
along in Lennon.

Bakers and Grocers Preparing te
Provide Owosso With Home.
Made Bread.

A special meeting of the retail
grocers was held at their rooms Tues.
day night to consider the bakery
proposition. A general discussion GOV.
ering the subject was followed by a
unanimous decision to buy local bread
If satisfactory bread could be pro.
duced by the local bakers.
The very best of feeling prevailed
on the part of those present toward the
local bakers and they are to be asked
to prepare samples of bread to be sub.
mitted 10 the grocers. The bakers
met at Secretary Seegmiller's office
Wednesday evening and unanimously
decided to accept the grocers' propo
sition and prepare samples of bread.
''The grocers and the bakers arc
equally desirous Of selling only
Owosso-baked bread" said Secretary
Seegmiller Wednesday morning. 1--WE
do not care just now how the matter
is brought about, so long as we sue
ceed in keeping the $4,000 or
100000 paid for bread in a year, in
side the city. OF course, it is our
purpose to give it to the present bak-
ers, If it is possible, and personally /
think this plan will work out all
right. My idea would be to have the
grocers take out three or four shares
of stock in company, should one be
formed to produce Owosso bread,
and then it would be their bakery as
much as anyone else's. In this way,
l think there would be an added in
ducement to the grocers to buy only
Owosso bread.
at is obviously true that any or
our Owosso bakers with the proper
would be able to produce
just as good bread as there is made,
and we are all working together har-
moniously, to keep this vast amount
of money in Owosso. 1t is really an
to Owosso grocers to buy
Owosso bread, providing they can
satisfy their customers with the local
product. Express charges naturally
increase the cost of bread to them,
and then the baskets coming in on
trains about noon make their arrival
more or less uncertain"

ANOTHER ANCIENT ANECDoTE
Arrayed I'm Modern Garb I'm the Vain
Effort TO Fit 1t on a Citizen
of OcaIa

Some people who think they are
funny have picked up a joke that was
first told among the fishermen on the
Sea Of Galilee, and are telling it on
Mr.. D. ". Davis, when he isn't listen
ing.
They say that Mr. Davis. on occasion
of a visit TO the Gulf some time ago.
was taken out by party Of friends
in a boat in the hope OF catching
few fish. Deck isn't exactly at home
on the water, but he is mighty quick
to learn, so il wasn't unreasonable to
suppose he might become as great a
fisherman as St. Peter, If he had fair
show.
They rowed the boat out someways.
where the waves were tossy without
being tumbly, gave Deck a steel rod
and reel and told him to enjoy him
self After first hooking DR.. William
Anderson in the coattail and Southern
Express Maughs in the ear, Deck
launched the line overheard and sat
down on thwart to mediate on how
he would have the fish cooked when
he caught it.
Tempus fugit-some people caught
fish and Deck didn't, but he was en-
joying the cool breeze and the lula by
rocking of the boat. and several Of the
other fishermen were on the point of
asking several of the others what did
the governor of North Carolina say
to the governor of South Carolina
when all seagulls between Cedar Keys
and Anclote We're scared off their
| perches by a wall from Deck.
| When the other fishermen sufficient
" recovered their presences of mind
| TO see what had happened, they found
Mr.. Davis, minus his fishing tackle.
but with a most buSiness-like express
sion irrigating the perplexity on his
| face, rapidly cutting deep notch
with his pOcketknife in the side of the
boat
where is your line. Deck" said
one. land why the deuce are you cut
| ting open the side of the boat? Are
! you trying to scuttle u.s."
Lines gone: should think you could
| see that" said Mr.. Davis, and I'm cut
| ting this notch to show right where ]
dropped the rod, so one of you fellows
that can swim can dive down and pick
/ it up"
This was a good story when it was
new. but the editors researches into
ancient literature reveal to him that
it was first told by st. Peter on St
| Matthew, soon after they both became
fishers of men. II has been told or
many thousands of great men since
then and Mr. Davis is scarcely the
last
