convicted of assault aid artery Of
high and aggravated nature al the
March term, 1911, court OF Saiuda

drive his mule and buggy over Miss
Carrie Mitchell, young lady teacher.
Havird being incensed because she had
whipped one of his Children. The trial
excited considerable attention. AID
some parts of the testimony was SEN
sational. Havird's attorney endeaVored
to get a change of veaue to Edge"eiG

LOOK IS GOOD
For The Silk City The Coming
Year Very Few Houses
To Rent
IMPROVEMENT IN ORDER
Real Estate Is Moving-New Dwelling
Houses Will Be Built And Much
Repairing Done

Every indication at present points To
"A busy year in all lines of trade in the
city and especially in building new
houses and repairing those already
occupied. Plumbers, carpenters, paint
ers and paper hangers are all very busy
and rushed with work, the draymen
and teamsters are taxed TO the limit
for calls TO help out in their line of
business, and the busy house wife is
put TO her wits end TO secure help In
house-cleaning. Many citizens are TAX
ing advantage Of the splendid sewer
and water system which the city has
installed and are having their DIV ellings
attached with these convenience.
A spirit of progress seems 10 prevail
and nearly every home owner who
possibly can do SO is making improve
ments OF some sort or another.
Real estate is moving, several pieces
o: property having already changed
hands and inquiries at the real estate
agences for desirable houses and good
location are frequent, the individual
who owns his or her home are certainly
lucky and relieved of much anxiety.
New side walks and curbs are being
being put down in different parts Of the
city and lawns and premises are being
dressed up in fine shape.
Several new houses are already in
process of construction, among them
being Louis Leonard and A. s. DIM
mick.
John b. Arnwine is making very
extensive repairs to his residence. The
building of the new city hall viii un.

UNIT DISTRICTS
Township Unit School System is
Being Adopted in State

The first step toward the origaniza-
tion OF the lower peninsula into town.
ship school districts were taken In the
recent April election by number of
townships throughout the state acting
favorably upon the proposition which
is being so strongly urged by educators.
Quite number OF special elections
have been called in various parts of the
state TO decide the question in May,
while elsewhere petitions are being
circulated in order TO bring the issue to
vote.
The township unit system does not
mean the consolidation of schools but
simply means the dsssolving of various
school districts into one township dis
trict, with board OF education elected
at large in charge of the school affairs
OF the entire township The country
schoolhouses are not abandoned under
this system but it makes the establish
ment of high school possible, insures
uniformity Of school advantages and
reduces the cost The efficiency OF the
system has been clearly demonstrated
in the northern peninsula where il has
been in operation for years and where
it has proven most efficient.
The changes in the law make il neces-
sary to secure only one-fourth of the
school electors Of the township in order
TO have the township board call an
election and both men and women,
who are qualified school electors, may
sign the petition and vote upon the
proposition.

scenery is very fine and the plays are Of
high order, not one Objectionable
thing about them nor the players.
The prices are but ten and twenty
cents and at this surprisingly low price

FIERCE FIRE
MIR. and Mrs. George Putnam Lose
Their Fine Home on Pecks Hill
Fireman Did Good Work

MIR. and Mrs. George Putnam Lose
Their Fine Home on Pecks Hill
Fireman Did Good Work
Last Friday afternoon our citizens
were thrown into a feeling of uneasi.
ness by the blowing of the fire whistle.
The wind at that time was blowing q
regular gale and until it was known
that the fire was on Pecks Hill, il made
people wonder what would be the re-
suit.
The fire originated in the barn in the
rear Of George Putman's home, and the
cause is unknown, although there was
report i'm circulation that it was caus-
ed by children playing with matches,
Mr.. Putnam is positive that there were
no children around at the time of the
fire. With the prevailing high wind
the flames were carried to the fine resi-
dence and i'm almost no time, the roof
of the house and the west end was in
flames. The fire department responded
quickly but I'm spite of their efforts the
house and barn were almost completely
destroyed.
Mr.. Putnam places his loss at $40 0
and he carried an insurance of So, 200 Oh
the house, barn and contents. Most OF
the contents OF the house were saved
although some of the articles removed
were damaged by the removal. Had
the fire been on this side Of the river,
with the wind blowing as it was q
great loss must certainly have occurred.
Rev. Edrie Collins, who was assisting
in removing some of the household ef-
fects, received q bad injury to his
thumb by having 1t jammed against q
door casing. Mr.. Putnam is as yet un-
decided whether to rebuild or not.
With q light pressure on the water
works and severe pressure by the
wind, the fire company was badly
handicapped from the first, but did re-
markably well in saving portion Of
the house against such odds.

the emblem of his office, in charge OF
brother Ray Mcconnell and another
brother made fine parade and march
ed TO the Opera House. The goat, how
ever, dropped out of the procession at
Welte's and was photographed with
its attendants.
The Stanton Marine band furnished
most excellent music and Stanton is
certainly to be congratulated on hav-
ing such an organization.

nies in the Opera House, and after
music by the band and prayer by Rev.

punctuated with many pointed stories
which kept the audience livened up TO
the enthusiastic state. After dinner
