aided IN furnishing food for the ban
quet. The banquet was served by
Mrs. Frusch, and was one Of the best
that has ever been held in the city.
Everyone had plenty 70 eat. numerous
walters seeing to that.
Following the banquet. during
which the Republic band, rendered the
music, the speakers were called upon
to answer to the various toasts. These
were for the most part, exceptionally
good and enjoyed by one and all. This
was especially true TO Twenty Min
utes in Ireland" given by the Hon.
Frank A. Dean of Charlotte
Mr. Dean carried his entire audi
ehce with him every minute that he
talked and at times his descriptive
powers held the audience almost spell
bound. Especially was this the case
when he gave his lured account of a
case Of sea sickness.
Among the other speakers Of the
700, secretary of the Michigan Good
Roads association, who gave very in
teresting address full of helpful hints
IL road making, etc; the Hon. Clar-

started. His talk was good and well
filled with interesting points in regard
to good roads.
Attorney ID. l.. Johnson, secretary
of the board OF trade followed with
AL explanation of what the board was
trying to accomplish. and he outlined
the plans for the state road west from
Alma, which the board will endeavor
TO get through this coming summer.
Alma is vitally interested in such
a road and the probabilities are that
;he banquet did much in working up
spirit towards the desired end the
securing OF good road west from
Alma Alma will do her share. with
the various townships Arcadia. Pine
RiNcr, Sumner and Seville
" G. Griffin, manager Of the Alma
Roller Mills, who acted in the capacity
lot toastmaster at the affair, acquitted
himself IN great shape, and proved
himself II capable master of ceremo-
nies
The committee consisting Of Griffin,
~iaterand Sanderhoff, who had charge
ot the banquet, certainly are past
masters.
