It Is seldom indeed the people in a

have heard both Miss Peterson and
CALI Curci. are Of an opinion that the
former possesses a more beautiful
voice than the Italian coloratura.
Ottawa will long remember Miss
Peterson as one Of the most gracious
singers before the public. She has a
unparalleled personality. and with her
introductory number won her audience
completely.
She responded to a number of en-.
cores and. at the close of the recital
when she had received several cur.
tain calls she seated herself at the
piano., responding to an encore by
playing her own accompaniment
Her program was varied II show
ed her wonderful range of tone as
well as the depth of tone and the
liquid qualities of her voice. Most OF
her numbers especially the songs writ

VIM. Booth Hurt

The many friends of William Booth,
of northeast Vienna, will be sorry to
learn of a serious accident which befell
him on the third of the present month.
He was engaged in burying stone in
one of the fields on his farm and was
working in an excavation of consider
able depth when the earth suddenly
gave way and the stone rolled in upon
him, breaking one of his legs. Mr..
Booth was entirely alone at the time,
save for faithful collie, and all his
calls for help were unheard. But the
intelligent dog, sensing his master was
in trouble, made frequent trips to the
house and by his actions led Mr.. Booths
son. Archie, to believe that something
must be wrong. Investigation on the
part of the latter led to the discovery
of the plight of his father, who was ex-
tricated after considerable effort and
taken to his home where medical aid
was provided as speedily as possible.
At present Mr.. Booth is making as
good progress toward recovery as can
be expected and it is hoped that in time
his limb will be as sound as ever.

Married

Miss Esther Ash, daughter of Mrs. J.
R. Ash, of Arbela, and Floyd M. Brand,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Brand, of
the same township, were united in
marriage by Rev. P. B. Hoyt, of Flint,
on Wednesday, May 8, the ceremony
being performed at the residence of
the officiating clergyman. Mrs. Brand
is an accomplished and popular young
lady, graduate Of Clio High School,
and for several years past has been q
successful teacher in the schools of
this vicinity. The groom is an ener-
getic and estimable young man who
has been engaged in farming in COM
pany with his father and expects soon
to enter the service of his country as a
soldier. Following the wedding the
young people enjoyed a honeymoon
trip to Ypsilauti, Detroit and points in
Ohio. That their future may hold the
largest measure of good fortune and
happiness will be the wish of their
many friends.

More Soldiers Going

We are informed that the Local
Board for Genesee County expects to
send about 129 more young men to Camp
Custer within the next two weeks.
Aside from those working on farms.
who have been excused for such work,
the Beard has only about eighty-five
men available, so that. IL they are
obliged to fill their quota, some of the
boys will have to be taken from the
farms. We all know how essential
it is that the government has soldiers.
but many of us know how difficult is
the position Of tho farmers who are
trying 20 produce increased crops with
decreased labor, and it Is to be hoped
that some arrangement can be maIacc
to allow these boys to remain on the
farms until the crops are grown and
harvested Since writing the foregoing
we have been informed that all men in
class AL, whether they have been ex-
cused or not, may expect to be called
for service about May 25.
