burned to death in her home in the
village of Lawrence last Monday eve

aged woman was found on the floor.
The flames were extinguished by the
fire department with but little loss to
the property. Mrs. Lyons was past
eighty years of age and lived alone.

Senator Bayard G.. Davis of Lawton
one of the leaders of the Farmers
Clubs in the present session at Lam
sing, spent Sunday with his cousin,
Truman Gillette. Mr.. Davis is the
author of the uniform text book bill

among educational men, besides other
progressive legislation. He is a good
debater and divides time with "Herb"
Baker, the other spokesman for the
farmers in the senate. Davis is a
first termer, but he has already dis
tinguished himself as a leader. Sen
ator Davis was born in Aurelius, the
other side of Eaton Rapids. Mrs.
Davis was with him ut the Gillette
home.-Charlotte Republican.
The True Northerner is in receipt
of splendid article from the pen of
Mrs. Dana p. Smith, giving some Of
the imperative reasons why the
women of Michigan should wake up
on the swine and Beer amendment"
and we regret the impossibility of
giving the communication space in
full in this issue. Mrs. Smith states
that she has heard the argument ad-
vanced that many boys died at Camp
Custer during the epidemic for
want of liquor and of course brands
the argument as an absurd falsehood.
The women of the land should heed
Mrs. Smiths warning, and keep thor
oughly awake from this time until
after the votes are all cast on election
day.
