Owosso-New lothrop-Flint.

There Is now more than an even
chance that the Lansing Owosso electric
line will be extended from this scity TO
New Lothrop and Flint in the early
future. The Michigan Railway Co. has
for more Than year past been consid-
ering the question of an extension
either to Saginaw or Flint, several sur
veys having been made over different
routes to Saginaw to determine the APP
proximate cost but all were found to be
very expensive and impractical. The
probability now is that the line will go
to New Lothrop and Flint providing
the right of way can be secured at a
reasonable cost. The negotiations have
gone so far that the road is almost an
assured fact if the people in the town.

cally provide the right of way.

power to secure the same. and without
doubt an opportunity will be afforded
for them to show their interest in a
real way. The citizens of Hazelton
township and New Lothrop are also
greatly interested and will pull hard for
connection with the rest of the world
by rail. Without question the citizens
of Caledonia aud Venice townships will
be found wide awake to this chance to
secure an electric line which will give
them an opportunity to easily reach

GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. John Brooks Celebrated
Their Golden Wedding at a Party
at Their Home on Adams Street in
the City Wednesday.

The comfortable home built by Mr..
and Mrs. Brooks more than 80 years
ago, during the first summer of their
residence in Owosso, had been made
more than usually inviting with fow-
ers, and the deft feminine touch had
created an effect imparting a sugges-
tion Of an event of more than usual
significance. At noon the gay party
was seated around tables there that
were laden with an abundance of sea-
sonable good things to eat. Discus
sion of the repast was followed by the
taking of group pictures that will be
cherished mementoes of the occasion.
In 1912 Mr.. Brooks celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of a church at
Exeter, Ont, for which he had hewed
the timber in his sturdier days. In
March of this. year he observed the
anniversary of his initiation a half
century ago into the mysteries of Odd
Fellowship at Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
Since he became affiliated with that
order he has missed only lodge meet
ings that illness prevented him from
attending. Twice he has been honor
ed by election to the Office of Noble
Grand. Mr.. Brooks has gone through
all OF the chairs Of the lodge and is
thoroughly conversant with the ritual.
lie is a staunch champion of fratern-
alism.
A native Of Devonshire, England,
Mr.. Brooks left there with his parents
Ave years after his birth, April 10,

for time at Osseo, Ont. In 1864 the
family moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio,
and it was there that John met Miss

at the wedding, are still living.
Mrs. Brooks was born in Plymouth,
England, and came to America at the

Mr.. and Mrs. James Davis. The fam
lily resided in Cleveland, Ohio, but a
few weeks before removing to Chag-
rim Falls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks came to Owos-
so in 1886 and built the home where
they now reside. They have been
members Of the First M. +. church
for several decades and have rarely
missed services there. They also are
affiliated respectively with the Owos-
so lodge No. SO, |. o. o. F., and Star
of Hope Rebekahs. Mr.. Brooks is
still vigorous and is in the employ of
John Detwiler successor of c. c.

Duff for nearly 30 years.
Mrs. Brooks also enjoys compara-
lively good health.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks have the
hearty congratulations of a host of
friends in Owosso who hope that they
will retain their faculties to enjoy
many more happy anniversaries.
