LIGHTS OF THE PAST

George Geiger has contributed to
The Messenger collection of anti
quities lantern which was in COM
mon use at the Geiger farm in Thet-
ford about the year 1855 and for
some years subsequently. 1t was al
so in common use throughout the
entire country about that time. 1t
has three sides of glass, with tin
guards, while one side, forming the
door, also is of tin. Light was pro-
.vided by tallow candles which were
usually made in candle molds on the
premises, although candle making or
a commercial scale was one of the in
dustries of the period, candles being
about the sole source CT, artificial
light. The old lantern shows, in a
way, what wonder age the past
three quarters Of century has been,
because in that period petroleum has
come to be a source of light. and a
greater and more wonderful still
electricity. This old lantern, with
it's tallow candle, wasn't much of a
light, and yet, unquestionably, it was
a big Improvement on the older per-
forated tin lantern, with no glass
whatever in it's make up, which it
superseded. Possibly the old lantern
from the Geiger farm is of the same
type as that which Paul Revere saw
hung out from the belfry of the old
North Church ere he begun his fam
Gus ride that was one of the drama
tic incidents of the Revolution. By
the way, we want an old wooden
clock. Who has one that can be con-
tributed to our fast growing col
lection? Junk" some people call it,
but to us and many others it is most
interesting.

ANNOUNCEMENT

| wish to take this opportunity of
announcing to the electors of this
part of Genesee County, my candi-
dacy for nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket for the Office of Register
of Deeds. Perhaps it will scarcely be
necessary for me to recall my career
in community where | was raised,
and yet / feel privileged to do so for
the information of those who may
have moved into it of late years.
And so, | will say that | was born
in the township Of Thetford, where
attended the district school until
old enough to attend high school in
Clio. Following this took special
course of business training and for
seven years was cashier of the bank
Of Chas. II. May & Co., in Clio. Af-
ter this was for two years employ
ed in the abstract department of the
Union Trust & Savings Bank, at
Flint, and latterly, for several years,
have been engaged in the real
estate and fire insurance business in
Flint. | have been a lifelong sup
porter of the Republican party, be-
lieve have a clean and efficient rec
ord as business man, my exper-
fence in the abstract Office has made
me familiar with the duties of the
Register of Deeds, and shall appre-
ciate very highly any support that
may be accorded me at the primaries
to be held August 81. If nominated
and elected | pledge that the busi-
ness Of the registers office shall be
promptly and correctly transacted
with courteous treatment to all.

OK YOKE MEMORY

While looking at an OK yoke. which
is part of The Messenger collection
of antiquities, George Geiger re-
called that they have an oxe yoke
at his farm home in Thetford which
once figured in crime for which a
number of men were sent to the pen
itentiary. In the old days a rather
notorious band, known as ''the Moore
Gang" operating in this part of the
country, were strongly suspected of
running off horses and stealing any
other property they could get away
with. Finally the Gei9er OK yoke
disappeared and simultaneously a
pair of cattle belonging to a neigh
Dor came up missing. The Moores
were traced, captured with the pro-
perty, and afterward were sent to
prison for the crime. In these days,
when fifty miles an hour is all too
common on the roads, the stealing
of anything like a plodding yoke of
oxen seems strange.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS

School directors who have not sent
their annual reports to the township
clerk of Vienna are requested to do
so with as little delay as possible.
The clerk is required to make rath-
er extensive report from the several
district reports and this requires con-
siderable time. The attention of di-
rectors is also called to the fact that
the law requires them to publish the
proceedings Of the annual school
meetings and a condensed financial
statement, if a newspaper is pub
lished within the township. School
officers are referred to the school
laws for particulars of these requir-
ments.

BIG BARN BURNS

One of the largest barns in Cen
esee County, 167X46 feet in size, To-
Gated on the farm of Will Bacon, in
Montrose township, was discovered to
be on fire at about $3.50 o'clock Fri
day evening and rapidly burned to
the ground. With the barn two
horses and about one hundred twen-
ty-five tons of hay were destroyed.
The hay, which had but recently been
put in the NOV, is thought to have
heated and caused the fire, there be-
ing no other possible theory of it's
origin. Horace Bortle also lost a
hay press which was stored in the
barn. Mr.. Bacon is living in Sag
inaw and Claud Keefer, the tenant,
while attempting to get his horses
out Of the burning building, was
kicked and severely injured by one
of them, and being rendered unable
to make his own escape, was rescued
with great difficulty by his neiehbors.
AS it was, Mr.. Keefer's face and
body were severely burned and he
received injuries Of so se.icus a char
acter that he was taken TO Hurley
Hospital at Flint for treatment
The barn and contents were insured
for considerable sum, but the exact
amount we have been unable to
learn.
