TRAIN SERVICE
THREATENED BY P. N.
SAID TO CONTEMPLATE DISCON-
TINUING NO. 6
Would Leave Berry Shippers in Bad
Shape and Injure Business
Generally.

We have been informed that it is the
intention of the management of the P.
M. Ry. to discontinue the train that
leaves this station southbound at 6:35
P. M. If this report is accurate it cer-
tainly means that shippers from this
point will be dealt severe blow and to
ours mind indicates that the railroad
officials are taking one Of the surest
means of forfeiting the esteem in
which their system is held and the
patronage which is being accorded it,
The fruit raising industry has come to
be very important In this section and is
growing in magnitude every year. and
in order that it may be carried on sue
dessfully rapid and frequent means of
transportation are necessary. This
6:30 train has been the main reliance of
the fruit growers in the past, as by
means of it they have been enabled to
get their berries onto the Detroit mar
ket the morning following the day on
which they were picked, and if this
service is discontinued it will mean
that this extremely perishable class of
produce will be gotten to market "a
hours late and in correspondingly poor
condition. Not only this, but parcel
post shipments of perishable products,
such as butter, eggs and berries cannot
be gotten to the consumer in acceptable
condition and may be refused transpor-
tation through the mails. And beside
these objections there remains the fact
that all southbound letter mail must be
dispatched not latter than noon of each
day, parcels not latter than $3.50 in the
morning. To sum the whole matter up,
this movement would be one of the
most adverse which the producers and
business interests of this section has
ever suffered at the hands of a trans
portation company and some offectual
means should be taken to thwart it if
possible. With the strong competition
the electric lines are making for busi-
ness. in the way of frequent and rapid
transportation, it would seem as though
the policy of the steam roads would
be to increase rather than decrease
their Accommodations. We suggest that
every business man and farmer inter-
ested in this important matter write a
letter of protest to Paul King, receiver
of the road, at Detroit.

Col. John S. Mosby, Dies

Col. John S. Mosby, the most famous
Confederate raider of the Civil War,
died at his home in Washington, d. c..
on Tuesday, May 80, after long illness.
He was native of Virginia, and was
So years old. His death occurring ON
the day set apart for the commemora-
ton of the valiant deeds of his late an
tagonists, the loyal soldiers of the Re
public, was coincidence.
Col. Mosby dared death over so years
ago when at the head of a band of a
few hundred Confederate raiders he
rode up and down the Shenandoah val
ley, capturing outposts, destroying sup
ply trains, and cutting off means of
communication. 1t has been estimated
that he often neutralized the force Of.
over Is, 600 Federals in the valley.
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was
the capture of Gen. Stoughton. On a
March night in 1868 he, with 80 follow
ers, rode through the Federal army to
Fairfax court house, only Is miles
from Washington, where Gen. Slough
ton was asleep. Although surrounded
by an army said to have been 17,008
strong, the rangers calmly kidnapped
the general, his staff and many sem
tries, and turned them over to the Con-
federate authorities at Culpeper with
out having lost man.

where he grew to manhood. He at
tended the public schools of Fenton and
graduated from the Flint High School
with the class of 1909. Following this
he entered the law department of the
University of Michigan, from which he
graduated in 1907, and Immediately
took up the practice of his profession
in Flint. With no friends, save such as
his abilities and constant industry have
gained for him, he has rapidly forged
to the front as one of the capable
young attorneys of the county seat,
and has been chosen for one or two
terms to serve the people as circuit
court commissioner, in which office he
has made a clean and efficient record.
Mr.. Frisbie is well known throughout
the county and from many sources has
received assurances of support in his
campaign for nomination to the office
to which he aspires. He unhesitatingly
announces himself as being in favor OF
clean city and clean county and
says that if elected he will do his full
duty looking to an enforcement of the
law. Bear Mr.. Frisbie's candidacy ir
mind during the weeks that will elapse
before election, look up his record from
every angle, and we believe you will be
favorably inclined, Mr.. Voter, wher
you mark your ballot.

Wins Fine Distinction

Assistant Prosecutor w. w. Black
ney, of Flint, former resident of Clio,
and who with hundreds of friends in this
vicinity. who are always glad to hear of
his successes, has been notified of his
selection as Assistant Sergeant at
Arms of the great Republican National
Convention, which convenes in Chicago
next week. Considering the vast
territory that will be represented in
the convention, and the fact that the
official positions in its organization are
eagerly sought, it may be seen that Mr..
Blackney's appointment is rather fine
recognition of his services to his party.

Does an orange grove pay? This

specific:

stolen while you were running lot

isn't anything to worry about.
You know ! don't care much what

about myself to me as they DO 10

get an idea in my head, I'd have TO
be operated on, because foreign SUD
stances in the human body, etc. l
lust turned the thing around and

said 1t was the best joke he ever
heard. But l was sorry l did that
because the first thing knew DR..
Watson had changed his impression
of me and had started to fall 10 love
with me. So you see.
What l can't get away from is
what l think of myself. Usually it's
J all right, but / get discouraged spells
and have to cheer myself up. Then
IL say: Now, Gladys, with your dis
position, you don't need to be pretty,
and with your face, you don't need
to be sweet. Can the crouch, and
stroll up to the Silver Palace and get
Chero-Cola, and if its your lucky
day, you'll meet somebody to buy it
for you. Z"
Chero-Cola is the right prescrip-
tion for the blues. After take five
or ten cents worth of Chero-Cola my
stock goes up in my own estimation,

Jimmie realizes what he and Chero-

At The Baptist
Church Sunday

There was a special offering for
missions taken on Sunday morning,
after which an anthem by the choir
of fourteen trained voices was sung.
Bro. Wears subject-'An Astounding
Grace" text 2 Cor. S-7-was based
upon Paul's exhortation to the
church at Corinth. This city was one
of culture and refinement. This
church was held in especial love by
Paul who commends the membership
for their faith, that faith which
makes Jesus real in our lives. just In
proportion a. the church has this
faith, so will the influence of the
] membership be felt in the lives OF
those with whom they come in con-
tact. The second commendation TO
the church at Corinth was that they
were gifted and abounded in utter
ances. This. church was not ham
rered by lack OF leaders and men and
women to speak on things eternal.
Commended for their knowledge, Civ
ing themselves to the study Of the
things of God Their great love for
Paul and for each other sets the
churches an example. Yet one thing
was needful, to abound in the grace
of Giving. Our gifts either of money
or service rendered to suffering hui
manity in Jesus name, or consecrat-
ed service in His cause are the I'M
perishable gifts. These are the treas
ures laid up above. Give to God the
first fruits, and the promise of pros
perity is yours. Make God first in
your life, take an inventory Of self
and like these of the early church
consecrate ourselves to the service OF
Christ, For God is able to make all
/ grace abound toward you; that We,
always having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound in every good
work.
The subject for the evenings dis
course was "Joshua's Choice" Josh.
i 24:15. Every man makes some kind
of choice relative to his worship. BY
this choice he avows or disavows his
allegiance to Jesus Christ. In the
