There will be a special meeting of
Vienna Chapter, o. E. s., on Wednes-
day evening, April rs, at which time
there will be initiatory work of more
than ordinary interest. The attend
ance of all members of the Order ia
cordially invited.
Rev. j. ID. Halliday and wife returned
this week from six weeks visit with
their sons and families in Brooklyn and
Binghamton, N. Y. The sons are clergy
men and occupy important pastorates
in the cities mentioned Mr.. Halliday.
who had been in i'll health prior to the
visit, is now considerably improved.
A pleasant caller at our sanctum, last
week. was M. c. Graves, well known
to many of our people as the leader of
the famous Marshal Band of Vassar
for many years, of c. H. d. Barker,
when the latter was resident of Vas
sar, and the gentlemen are firm friends.
Clio Lodge. |. o. o. F., will go to
Millington next Wednesday where they
will join with their brethren in that
town in celebrating the 9th anniver-
sary of the founding of the Order. The
fraters will go by automobiles which
will leave the lodge rooms at IL o'clock,
and all members who can do so are
urged to attend.
The clinic of the state board of health
anti-tuberculosis party was held last
Thursday and was largely attended, so
much so that numbers who applied for
examination had to be turned away.
The lecture in the evening, however,
did not seem to possess much interest
as nobody came to hear it, and the
lecturer decided to let the project drop.
In our write up of the Inauguration
of Mayor Earl F. Johnson, of Flint,
which appeared in these columns last
week, we omitted to mention the name
of Councilman Albert N. Stuber. Mr.
Stuber was one of the party and made
pleasant companion, just as we opine
that he is going to make an agreeable
and valuable member of the council of
city dads.
Information has come to this office
that certain boys have been making a
practice of irritating an inoffensive cit
izen by throwing stones at the building
in which he lives. This is bad business,
for two reasons; first, the owner of the
} building promises to have any boy ar
rested who is caught in the act of
, throwing stones at the building, as some
of the windows have been broken, and
second the boys are engaging in dan
gerous piece of business as well as
very unworthy one. Find some other
and better way of having fun, boys
: George Lacure, Glenn Williams, John
F. Wirth, Ed. L. Beeman and Chas. H.
Reed attended the county convention,
Tuesday, as delegates from Vieuna.
} The editor was honored with election as
delegate to the state convention and
Mr. Williams with election as delegate
to the district convention. Both con-
ventions will meet in Lansing on Mays.
Hon. Geo. w. Cook, of Flint was en-
dorsed by the convention as delegate to
the national Republican convention.
The trip to Flint was made in Mr..
Wirth's car and was very pleasurable
indeed.
, The Messenger. as our readers may
have observed, printed the list of lands
in this county that will be sold for taxes
next month, May 2, to be exact, and in
this connection we feel privileged to
make public the score we made, which
we believe is extra good. The state
pays for this publication by the de-
scription and penalties the publisher
for each one in which he makes an
error. There were 463 of the descrip-
tions this year, not a few of them be-
ing very intricate, and we feel proud of
the fact that not an error was made in
: any one of them, thus earning for The
Messenger perfect score.
Do not forget the lecture at the Ma
sonic Temple next Tuesday evening, to
be given by Major DeHull N. Travis on
the subject 1.-THE Man Without a
Smile" This lecture will portray a
type of life with which the ordinary
citizen is but little acquainted and will
be replete with the dramatic and pa
thetic side of life behind prison bars.
1t is said that Major Travis has visited
more prisons than any other man in the
United States, and as he is an accom-
plished orator, his lecture is sure to be
exceedingly interesting. Major Travis
has kindly donated his services to the
Masonic Temple Association for this &C.
casion and at the price which it has
been decided to charge, viz. zoe, every
seat in the buildinp should be taken.
