Some folks do not like William Boggs
Because their memories he jogs
or things they would forget;
Unpleasant incidents he knows
He's always willing to disclose,
Which makes his neighbors fret.
He can recall with perfect ease,
When Bisss. now rich. once sought to please
With groceries or fish:
While Mrs. Bggs. so naughty now
She scarce can bring herself to bow,
Washed every breakfast dish
He knows how politicians made
Their first successes In that trade
And tells about them. too;
He knows Lucinda Oldgirls age.
And. telling, puts her in rage
That leaves the ether blue.
And other things OF other kinds
That folks would Danish from their minds

So If 4 torrent. some fine day,

OBITUARY..

William A. Holden, whose sudden
death at Standish we briefly noticed
last week, was born in Strathroy, Sep.
tember "a, 1854 While still young
boy he came with his parents TO Mich
igan, settling on farm east of Yale.
lie was married 10 Miss Eta Bates, of
Burnside in 1890, and two children
were born to them, Nita, Mrs. Otis
Pringle, of Port Huron, and Creighton
of Detroit.
Mr.. Holden was in the business of
cattle buying for some time, later going
into the meat market, both in Yale
and afterwards in Brown City, where
he moved his family. About three
years ago he purchased the large dining
hall at Huronia Beach, making many
improvements to this attractive place.
lie was also in partnership with his
brother John in a large cattle ranch
near GladWin.
He was a member of the Masonic
lodge of Brown City and also of the
Maccabees and Oddfellows of Yale.
Deceased had long been sufferer
from some form of stomach trouble
and medical attention gave him little
relief
The funeral services were held from
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Otis
Pringle, in port Huron on Friday Of
last week, under the auspices Of the
Masonic lodge, Rev. II. Il. Fitzpatrick,
a close friend of the deceased, preach
ing the sermon. Interment in Lake

Work of County Agriculturist

During the week ending Nov. 18th
calls were made at the farms of Chas.
and Robert Folkert, J. ID. Hill and III.
A. Basney in Clay township; Barney
Zoble and Ernest Clark in China town
ship; Orville Lindsay in CascO; Edward
Robins and Adolph Bench in Clyde
and Russell Dunning in Burchville.
A very successful farmers club meet
ing was attended at the home of Fred
Myers in Ira township, on ednesday
November 10th. Reading by Willis
Richardson, q report by Chas. Folkert
of the State Standard School which has
recently been dedicated in Clay town
ship, and discussion of potato diseas-
es and other matters regarding rural
organizations by the County Agent
were features of the program. About
thirty members were present from Ira,
Clay, Cottrellyille and Casco town
ships, and the spirit of cooperation
and the hearty welcome manifested by
thsm are highly priced by this office,
and it will be our purpose to attend
future meetings of the Starville Club
and render all the assistance possible.
Thursday was occupied with a trip
to the western part of the county with
Frank Werkmeister, Adolph Bench
and Edward Robins OF Clyde township.
These men were all interested in dairy
ing, and the inspection of Alvin Bald
ems herd of registered Jerseys consti-
tuted one OF the main objects OF the
excursion, The farms of Geo. Chap
man, Albert Tosch and +. A. Petz of
Mussey and Daniel Foley Of Emmett
were also visited during the day. A
tractor equipped with four-bottom
plow was of peculiar interest at the
latter place. The fact that Mr.. Foley
has plOwed large acreage of heavy
soil on his farm in very dry condition
during the past few weeks with the
tractor demonstrated conclusively its
practibility at least on the large farms
of the county.

county in chancery by Bert &. Preston,
trustee Of The Richmond Elevator Co.,
in which he sets forth that he has sold
the larger part of the several elevator
plants belonging to the company and
that he desires to pay dividend to the
creditors. He asks the court to author
ize the payment and to determine who
are creditors, the amount of their
claims and who, il any are entitled to
preference,
1t is alleged in the bill that the cred
itors are scattered over the United
States and that he has been unable to
adjust the amount of the claims of
several and that a number of them
claim preference. He asks the instruc-
ton of the court as to the disposition
OF the trust fund.-Lenox Standard.
