Aunt Debby" modestly bears the
distinction Of having made more than
5000 quilts during her life Particular

The principal exhibits from Michi-
gan came from Cass county where the
majority Of the Negro population, out.
side OF the large cities Of the state, is
located. The Negro population Of Cass
county owns an area OF about fifteen
miles, most of which is devoted to
farming, at which industry the Ne
groes have proved themselves efficient
One or two of the Negro farmers own
as much as 1000 acres OF land, and
their homes are fitted out with the
latest appliances for the comfort of the
occupants.
While about 5000 Negroes live in
Cass county. the exhibit was by no
means limited to that area There
were exhibits from nearly every impor.
tant town and city in the state The
exhibits were mostly of needlework
and millinery by the women and farm
products raised by the men. An old
darky named Turney Byrd has new
tangled dump wagon which he devised
and which he is using to good advan.
tage in his home town OF Lansing. The
wagon can be emptied all at once or
quarter or a half load at time.

The story is told by pamphlets ar,

has justified the confidence that Uncle

are now in use in the census bureau
namely a paste-supplying device and
a tallying machine-the latter working
on the principle of an adding machine

CENSUS TAKERS FINISH.
arshaIItown Club Workers Turn in
Eioures-Final Results Later.

Today is the last day for the census,
which is being taken by the Marshall
town Club. All returns must be in by
6 o'clock tonight, althoe the counting OF
the returns as they came in has been
going on since the middle Of last week.
Most of the enumerators had turned
in their lists Saturday night, but there
are still a few out, which will be in by
tonight.
A large map Of the city, with each
block marked. Is being used in check
ing up the returns. AS soon as block
is marked off, square Of cardboard
is pasted over that block on the map.
In this way there will be no danger OF
counting any block twice.
The final figures on the census will
not be completed until Thursday or
Friday Of this week All Of the enum-
orators reported very little difficulty,
altho some people did not understand
what was being done, and refused to
give out the desired information at
first. A good many thought the taxes
were being collected at the same time.

the first option Of the mysterious pur-

town, made it possible to announce the
intention of the railroad company to
build a new and modern freight depot
in this city.
The improvement is to be made for
two reasons-because the company is
in need of more commodious freight
depot, and because the building Of the
viaduct will make the haul to the
business district so much longer than
it is at present, and make it more diff

site Not Determined.

The site of the new depot has not
been determined further than 1t will
west of First street. Neither has the
cost been decided upon. Chief En-
gineer Kenly was here last week, but
at that time he had made no definite
plans for the building.
The building of the depot will carry
with it revision of the railroad yards,
and will take great deal of the switch

the greater part of the downtown BUSH
