accidentally SHOT
Two Boys Find Loaded Revolver in
Buggy Near Riverdale

Two boys, Henry Hudson, and Ar
chic Crittenden, living two miles north
of Riverdale, were accidentally shot
Sunday morning when George Hud-
son, older brother of Henry, drove to
his parents place and left revolver
which was loaded, in the bottom of
his buggy. Soon after arrival the two
boys, Henry and Archie, climbed into
the buggy and Henry discovered the
revolver and never thinking about it
being loaded pulled the trigger and
the bullet entered the calf of his left
leg on the inside and came out just
above his ankle on the outside and
then passed through the foot of Ar
chic Crittenden. If blood poison does
not occur the boys will probably pull
through their peculiar accident with
out any further trouble.

Economy Shoe Store Wants
Three Ears of Best Corn
CROWN IN GRATI0T COUNTY
Offer A Prize of $500 For Three
Best Ears, And $3.50 for Three
Second Best

Hundreds of farmers have moved
into Gratiot county from the corn
growing state of Illinois and believing
that the soil of Central Michigan is
the equal of that of any other state
in the union whether a farmer wishes
to grow corn or any other cereal. The
Economy Shoe Store will offer prize
of $500 in trade for the best three
ears of corn, and $3.50 in trade for
the second best three ears grown in
Gratiot county, or in the townships
of Ferris or Richland of Montcalm
county, or the townships of Coe or
Lincoln of Isabella county. The corn
must be grown in the above territory
and brought to their store in this city
before December first. The corn may
be of any variety to suit the grower.
The management of the Economy Shoe
Store have secured the services of two
expert corn growers to judge the corn
and the one owning the three first and
second best ears will be awarded the
above prizes.

many and varied One is not only
clerk of the county, but is clerk of the
board of supervisors, clerk of the
court, register in chancery, and gem
eral custodian of the files and records
pertaining to county and court work,
all of which must be looked after in a
careful and painstaking manner. AS

that good clerical ideas and expert
ence along these lines are good assets
for the man who holds the office of
county clerk.
One other matter to which | desire
to call your attention is, that / have
no other business interest to occupy
a part of my time, and if nominated
and elected all of my time will be de-
voted to the duties of the Office in
question.
| therefore offer these facts to you
for your consideration, and in doing
so have no intention of trespassing
upon your sympathy, nor in manner,
to cast any reflection upon any one,
but assure you, that any support you
may give to me, and especially if you
cast your vote for me at the primaries
next Tuesday, it will be appreciated.

largest dredge and tile jobs in the
county have been constructed at cost
'of approximately S25OOOO to the vari-
Gus property owners interested.
Among these drains could be men
toned Number III, which drains a
large scope of country through the
townships Of Arcadia, Sumner and New
Haven. No. 105 and its two branches
in Seville township. The dredge job
on drain No. 142 in Seville. The No.
90 Outlet drain, which will furnish
drainage for nearly twenty square
miles of farm lands in the townships
of Seville, Sumner, Pine River and Ar
cada. The Bush Creek drain, joint
with Midland county, which will re-
deem and benefit many acres of the
rich soil of Bethany township. In ad-
dition TO the dredge work, an average
of 60 carloads of tile, varying in size
from six to twenty inches has been
used annually during the past three
years in the work of this department.
In all of the work done during the past
four years only one Board of Review
has been called and that Board, after
carefully reviewing the work of the
commissioner coincided with that Off
cial in every particular.
Mr.. Redman, as is well known to the
citizens of Gratiot county, is man
well qualified both by experience and
education, to care for the duties of this
important office and at the same time
safeguard the interests of the property
owner by seeing that contract when
let are properly executed. A graduate
Of NJ. A. c., surveyor of recognized
ability and a man thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT by actual years of experience in
the drain commissioner office, the cit
izens of Gratiot are to be congratu-
lated upon the fact that Mr.. Redman
has consented to permit his name to
appear on the ticket at the primaries
to be held next Tuesday.
The dredging of the Maple River
for a distance of nearly 2S miles, eff
fecting the townships of Elba, Wash
ington and Fulton in Gratiot county,
is now under consideration, while other
drains of vast Importance to the coun-
ty are under way. Under these con-
ditions it would seem that a change
in the drain commissioner office
would not be opportune at the present
time. The Record predicts not only
his nomination August %, but his
election next November.

those who have known her preparation
