Announces Appointments.

Sheriff-elect Bert S. Griffin, who
will on January 1st step up from
under sheriff to sheriff, has selected
the following assistants: Under Sher-
iff, Joseph Sproule, of Owosso, for
the past four years deputy; deputy
sheriff at Corunna, M. f. Houghton,
of Durand, deputy at that place for
the past four years; deputy sheriff at
Durand, George III. Herrick. The ap-
pointments will be generally approx
ed as first class and it is our belief
that Sheriff Griffin will have an eff
cient force. With the exception of
Mr.. Herrick all have had wide ex.
perience in the duties they will as
sumo and there is every reason to
think that Mr.. Herrick will prove a
worthy successor to his predecessors,
Messrs. Griffin and Herrick. While
there will be disappointments, as
there were several aspirants for the
places, even those left out will agree
with the statements made above and
join in congratulating the Sheriff
elect on his appointments and the
successful ones on their good luck.

POWERFUL ARGUMENT
Of Ex-Governor Glenn Heard by
Large Congres sation.

The First Baptist church was filed
to its capacity Sunday evening when
Elk Governor r. B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, one of the best known tenn.
perance lecturers of the country, talked
for an hour, showing the terrible toll
of crime, misery and insanity caused by
traffic sanctioned and protected by
the most enlightened nation on earth.
The speaker was hopeful, however, and
believes the time is coming when the
nation will vote for absolute prohibi.
tion. Fifteen states already have pro.
hibition and he predicted Michigan
would swing into line in 1916 He
said even the great war now on in
Europe has partly compensated for in
the abolition of the sale of liquor in
Russia. Statistics we're given in plenty
that showed that most of the jails, hos
pitfalls, insane asylums, orphanages and
courts were made necessary by the
liquor traffic, that $50 is spent to re.
lieve suffering for every dollar derived
by legitimate business from the sale OF
liquor.
The services were taken part in by
Rev Fos er of the Corunna Ave. M. E.
church, Rev. j. p. Cooper of the As.
bury church, Rev. J. q. York and Rev.
J. F. Green who conducted the relig.
ious services, and Miss Disvola Spring
EFT at the organ, and Miss Lillian Vogel
soloist. The congregation sang with
with enthusiasm several Of the Oldest
and best known hymns.
