Want Some Of
THE BLACK SHELLS

Stand in front of your dealer and say
that. Take what he hands you and give
'em a trial.
You will not guess they're all right"
You will say, "Crackee! those BLACK
SHELLS are the quickest and surest
that ever came my way. That's what
they all say.
The Improvements in the BLACK
SHELLS are big enough to count.
Here are few-think 'em over:
The Non Mercnric Primer is better than the
old mercury and-ground-g glass kind, because it's
uniform, sure and quick. The United States
Government has discovered this and no longer
uses mercuric primers for high explosives, fuses
or small-armS ammunition.
The Flash Passage 1.-THE hole in the head
through which the fame passes from the
primer to the charge) is 1907 larger than in
ordinary shells. That means speed, and frac-
ton of second counts when you're stopping
a bird on the wing.
The BLACK SHELLS are really water
proof-even a ducking won't hurt them.
They'll not stick in the barrel and they'll not
cut off.
There are three classes of BLACK SHELLS:
ROMAX, black powder shell with SIS
inch BRASS
CLIMAX, the most popular smokeless
(both dense and bulky shell made. Has one
half-inch brass.
AJAX is the highest grade smokeless

MAY Build Good Roads Ia Kent.

X. l. Sawyer, engineer for the
good roads commission Of Men
ominee county, is candidate
for the appointment to similar
position with the Kent county
commissioners. He appeared be-
the commissioners recently and ex-
planned the work of constructing
improved highways. He is being
seriously considered for the
position.
The work OF improving the high
ways will be commenced soon, II
the good roads commissioners
have their way. Some definite
action regarding the issuing OF the
$500, 200 bonds will be taken by
the board of supervisors at their
meeting next week, and then
commissioners will know when
and how they may proceed.
Many features of the work were
discussed last night. The task has
proved a monster one, and the
commissioners will be forced to
give a greater part OF their time
to the work all Of the coming
summer. Another meeting will be
held soon, when a report to the
board of supervisors will be COM
pleted.

Cupid Rewards Pastors Kindness

An incident that occurred recently
in Charlotte shows that bread cast
upon the water does not necessarily
take many days for its return. Rev
w. k. Williams decided to present a
basket OF pie plant to the home OF his
brother pastor, Rev. {. r. Patchel and
wife, and took it to the parsonage
Not caring to be known in the trans
action, preferring to not allow the
right hand to know what the left hand
dteth, he quietly set the basket down
just inside the door and departed.
Passing out he met a couple accompa
MED by few wriends, who inquired
for Rev. Mr.. Patchell. He returned
with them to call him. ut although
the door was open, the family was alb
sent The couple desired to get mar
RED at once in order to eaten d rr.i..
and under the circumstances Brother
Williams offered his services, which
were acceptede, and the knot was
promptly tied. The only fault Rev.
Mr.. Williams found with the arrange
ments were that, not being able to
find Mr.. Patchell's marriage certih-
Gates, il was necessary for him to go
to the county clerks Office before the
transaction could be completed. The
contracting parties were Andrew J
Higgins and Miss Eunice Lyons, OF
Eaton Rapids.

three miles upstream. II is hoped
to have the big dam and pant
completed in October. Their. will
be use for the output ofpower at
once, as the demand is approach
ing the capacity of the present
