Totals

The team batting Of this key club is
 .2s3 figured against all pitchers for this
 season. Hitting .256 against Eller they show a 10 per cent slump against him just as the American league key team did against Cicotte. The team batting of the Sox this season is .2S3 and if they
 also have the same slump against Eller they are likely to bat .254 against him this world series. This gives the White Sox 10 points advantage in batting. The National league key team has scored a little over three runs per game
 this season against Eller. The American 1 league key team has scored a shade over l two runs per game off Cicotte. So the

Grade Promotion.

On Wednesday evening occurred
the grade promotion exercises and to
see the three hundred or more boys
and girls, as they marched from the
school house to the Auditorium, neat
ly dressed and with smiling, intelli-
gent faces, was most inspiring. 1t
just made us feel revival of our
old time belief that there are no 9TH
er children in the world so spirited
and beautiful as the American child
rem and no public institution so beni-
ficent and important as the Ameri-
can public school. The boys and girls
gave a splendid program and were
the recipients of much applause. As
the certificates of promotion were
handed to these bright boys and
girls, every thinking person, we be-
lieve, experienced feeling of thank
fulness to Prof. Russell and his corps
of teachers for the splendid, construc-
tive work they have been doing.

ANOTHER FISHING TRIP

On Monday of last week, o. X.
Whitlock came from his home in Fen
ton to the farm near here to do some
repair work interGlng to spend a
couple of days. Mrs. Whitlock was
coming to Flint the next day to do
some shopping and return home in
the evening when Mr.. Whitlock went
home. About noon Monday, Mr..
Whitlock got tip that the Peter
Franklin and Hankey families were
going to Fenton the next day on a
fishing trip and determined not to
be left out of the game, as was the
case last winter, when the same par.
ties made raid on his home. Mr.
and Mrs. Whitlock, therefore, re.
turned home Monday night and were
ready for the parties when they ar.
rived Tuesday morning. With well
filled baskets, for the good of inner
man, all hands departed for Lobdel
lake and after some time spent in q
fishless effort they made a raid on
the baskets and partook of fishless
dinner, after which they again re.
sorted to the lake inquest of fish
While they tell no exaggerated tale
of the number caught, still the story
they told sounded somewhat fishy
but all are agreed that they enjoyed
most pleasant day.

OLD RESIDENT
RECALLS EARLY DAYS
MRS. MARY oRMsBY CAME TO
VIENNA IN I84s
Resided at Pine Run Before Famous
Plank Road Was Built-Father
Stage Coach Driver.

Vienna township is about to lose,
/, or perhaps has already lost one of
its very early settlers, Mrs. Mary
Ormsby, who came to Pine Run with
her parents in 1848. She has sold
her property in Clio and expects to
go to Minnesota to reside with rela-
tives. When Mrs. Ormsby came to
Pine Run it was a mere cluster Of
cabins in the wilderness located
alongside the trail from Flint to Sagi-
nav which afterward gained fame
and immortality as the "old plank
road" This was later on when it was
covered with fine 3-inch plank and
toll was exacted for driving over it.
Mrs. Ormsby's father, Robinson
Ormsby, was the first driver of four
horse coach over the route from Flint
to Saginaw and one time when her
father was sick and unable to drive,
she herself, then ten years old, hav-
ing been trained in the business,
drove the coach through to Saginaw.
The coaches were ponderous affairs,
hung on leather springs, and in the
early days it was no unusual thing
for the passengers to be obliged to
alight and help to pry them out of the
mud. At this time there was no
bridge over Saginaw river at Gene
see St., and teams and passengers
were ferried across. Mrs. Ormsby's
father kept the Jail in Saginaw for
fourteen years and afterwards en-
gagged in the hotel business. He
served his country gallantly during
the civil war.
Mrs. Ormsby recalls that the first
hotel at Pine Run, or one of the first,
was kept by a man named Munsell,
and that a prominent citizen Of the
locality, in the early days was Ira p.
Farrand, millwright, who once own
ed the farms now the property of Jay
Green and E. G.. Bartholomew. Mr..
Farrand built saw mill at Otisville,
which was one of the first in this To-
cality, and from which lumber was
hauled as far as Saginaw.
Bears, in the days of which we
have been speaking, were plentiful,
and used impudently to help them
sleeves to porkers from the pens of
the settlements. Mrs. Ormsby says
that her father lost pig or two in
this way and determining to catch
the marauders, mixed considerable
quantity Of whiskey with the hog
feed late one night with the result
that next morning an old bear and
two cubs were found beside the
trough too drunk to stir.

STRAWBERRIES ARE FINE

Some lovely strawberries are be-
ing harvested by the growers here
about, although the excessively warm
weather and lack Of sufficient rainfall
will result in much shorter crop
than prospects earlier in the season
seemed to indicate. The hot weather
has also resulted in the crop ripening
early, so that it will all mature at
about one time. The price started in
at 35c per quart, but the berries are
now being retailed at zoe per quart.
In view of the facts stated above,
those who wish berries to can will do
well to buy them at once.
