Attitude of Government.

The department does not desire the
state 10 rellnquish any lands which
there Is n reasonable possibility or
rcclaiming In accordance with The
provisions of the Carey land act, but
i, is not believed that the state should
Insist on Withholding from other dis
positions lands which cannot be re-
claimed because Of absence OF water
supply therefor. However. no fur-
thcr action viii be taken In the mat
ter for the present pending consider

posals for reclamation described in

FLEMING REUNION
Held In Alma August Thirteenth At
Home OF
Mr.. AND MRS. J. /. FLEM |NG
Thirty Four Descendants Present To Enjoy
The Good Time, And Program

Family reunions are among those
delightful home institutions which
have come to stay.
Such-so far as the event was con-
cerned-was the gathering at the
home OF Rev. J. II. Fleming in this
city, August thirteenth, when thirty
four sat down to a sumptious ban
quet at high noon.
Those present were the near rela-
tives by marriage or descendants of
Charles NJ. and Elvira Humphrey
Fleming, pioneers of Gratiot county,
who settled in West Pine River in
the fall of 1865.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming belonger to
that sturdy Puritan stock which set
tied in western New York soon after
the close of the Revolutionary war.
About the time Michigan was adj
mitted into the union the Flemings
and, Humphreys, coming from ada
cent counties, settled in Jackson coun-
ty of this state and were actively
identified with the development Of
that portion of the commonwealth.
When the Presbyterians of north
ern Gratiot began to canvass the ter
ritory looking toward the organiza-
ton of a Presbyterian church, Mr.
Fleming was one of the most active
in promoting the enterprise; and
when, in the spring of 1866 the First
Presbyterian church of Pine River
-, Al Il 4
house of Alma (where the Wright
House now stands), the Fleming
family constituted just one-half of the
charter membership. Those were
days when foundations were laid,
when local history was made. St.
Louis later, however, secured the
church edihce and the organization
itself; but Alma won out in the tide
of Presbyterian progress, and with
the college has become a Presbyter-
ian center in Our goodly state. Dur-
ing those early days Mr.. Fleming
worked hard for the Alma location,
but when the St. Louis sentiment
gained ascendancy he, for harmony's
sake cheerfully submitted to the ma
jority.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming, during the
latter part of their lives made their
home with their son, Rev. ]. S. Flem-
ing. The father dying at Brooklyn,
Mich, in 1892, at the ripe age of so;
and the mother at Saginaw, 1904, at
the age of IS years and months, re-
tanning her mental vigor to the last.
This family reunion has been the
fifth held and was the largest in
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1913-08-21
OPEN AIR SERVICE.

Rev. J. w. Priest preached most
interesting and profitable sermon at
the union open air service on the
Presbyterian church lawn last Sun
day night. After so many rainy and
inclement nights it was very delight
full to be out doors once more and a
splendid audience was in attendance.
Rev. Mr.. Priest spoke to the theme
Counting the Cost" and while he in
sisted that some protesting Christ
ians were no doubt lost to the church
because they had never counted the
cost of discipleship, on the other
hand he insisted with equal empha-
sis that many would be in the church
who are not if they only would count
the cost of Godlessness. He was
listened to with rapt attention and
everyone went home saying it was
an exceedingly pleasant service. The
service next Sunday evening will be
under the direction of the Episcopal
church and the Rev J. Frank Jack
son will preach. These outdoor SER
vices are SO pleasant that no one
should fail TO attend them.

PARCEL POST RATES
Send Package Now As Cheaply To
Milwaukee As TO Ithaca
2NO ZONE HAS BEEN ENLARG
Rates Have Been Lowered And Weight Limit
Increased

Alma business concerns are already
taking advantage Of the new parcel
post rates which became effective
Friday, August IS. Besides increas-
ing the limit of the packages from IL
to 20 pounds the rates have been ma
terially reduced for the local, and
what were formerly the first and Sec
ond zones. The first zone is now the
local territory reached by the city
and rural carriers going out from that
postoffice. The second zone compri-
ses the section formerly embraced
in the first and second zones, and has
radius of about $50 miles. The
third to the eighth zones remain as
before.
With the limit of 20 pounds the
new rates in the first zone are five
cents for the first pound and one
cent for each additional two pounds
as against one cent for each addition
al pound under the old rates. The
present second zone charges are the
same as the former local rates, five
cents for first pound and one cent for
each additional pound, while the old
rates for the first zone, were FIVE
cents for the first pound and three
cents for each additional pound with
limit of II pounds, and for second
zone six cents for the first pound
and four cents for each additional
pound. Thus an II pound package
sent to Milwaukee under old rates
would have cost As cents, and a 20
pound package under the new rates
costs only "a cents, and II pounds,
Is cents, or saving of 81 cents. A
number of packages over the former
II pound limit have been shipped
during the last two days, and the par
eel post business in the local post
offices continues to increase.
