cinity who had 80 acres in wheat
took a different course with more
satisfactory results. He too, fear
ing the recurrence of stormy
weather, took advantage of two
fair days and ran his reaper by
the aid of lanterns two nights un-
til midnight and thus had his crop
all down before Sunday came. As
far as the team was concerned Mr..
Truax found it entirely satisfac-
tory; the horses did their work
with so much ease in the cool of
the night and when not worried by
the flies. The wet weather has
been even worse on the hay MAX
ers than the wheat harvesters.
The heavy rain of Friday put that
in process of curing in a bad plight,
but Robert Denney determined to
get his up without being subject
to the delays of a Sunday and pos
sibly another storm, turned and
lightened it up in the best manner
to get the air and sun, and thus by
diligent work extended in the night
until bed time, got his hay in the
barrack, with no concern to carry
over Sunday, or fear for the
weather of the morrow. The
weather can seldom entirely cir
cumvent man of foresight and
energy.
FOURTH OF JULY IN SMYRNA
Monday, which was the 4th of
July extended, was very quiet
day in town. With the exception
of flags put out at two or three of
the stores there was nothing to re-
mind us that it was the anniver-
sary of our mail day of freedom.
The stores would have been closed
but for the agreement with the
excursionists to close on Thursday
instead. There was much of holi-
day though in the aspect of things,
as a number went to Woodland |
Beach where large crowd as
sembled, or to other places to meet |
previous engagements. The mill |
pond was the scene of what public |
there was, two or
three hundred people gathering on |
its banks from six till nine o'clock. |
A tub race had been promised and |
some half a dozen lads were in the
water an hour or two diverting |
themselves in all playful ways to
the amusement of the spectators,
but for some reason it did not take |
on the quality of a closely defined
contest, though several of them
did go across the pond in their
tubs without upsetting. There are
nearly a dozen and half of boats
on the pond, the larger part of
which were in service in rowing or
sailing, giving the beautiful sheet |
of water very animated appear
ance. The largest, the Mary A.
commanded by Captain
had a gay party of be-
tween one and two dozen young
ladies who with song and laughter
made an attractive sailing party |
During the evening a number of
rockets frightened up the scene
with their red glare.

Lansing-Current figures of the
Department of State show that
practically every fifth application
for 1896 automobile license plates
contains an error of some sort.
This condition is not the fault
of the managers of the branch Of
fees of the Department of State
nor Of their clerks. Each applica-
tion is carefully checked but when
rush" days occur there is not suf-
fcient time for detailed check
of each application submitted, with
the result that errors sometimes
pass unnoticed. A recent typical
rush" day showed that a total Of
1929 applications for plates and
half-year permits or 'stickers" was
forwarded to the state capitol from
branch offices, and that about
1000 had to be segregated for fur

FORMER DETROIT MAYOR
NAMED MAN OF THE YEAR"

Manila-(By MaiD-Frank Muir
ply, United States High Commits
sioner, has been named Philippine
Man of the Year by the Philip
pine Free Press, leading news
magazine of the Islands, the first
time that this recognition has been
given to one not a Filipino.
In announcing the award the
magazine stated:
Governor General Murphy was
a most worthy final American adj
ministrator Of great American
era in Philippine history. His di-
plomacy and tact won him friends
in all Filipino social strata. His
ability and efficiency as governor
general was marked not only by
balanced budget, something very
rare in 1885, but with extra mill
lions in the public treasury"
Simultaneous with this an
nouncement the American Cham
Der of Commerce Journal devoted
its entire editorial page to a re-
sumo of the Murphy administra-
ton. declaring that America has
never been better served than
Governor Murphy has served her
here. He has served her with
single purpose buttressed with
implacable will, probity and intel
ligence.' This is especially
significant in view of the fact that
the Journal represents entrench-
ed business interests distinctly I'M
favorable to Philippine indepen-
dence, and would, in the ordinary
course of events, be expected to
look with disfavor upon a COVER
nor-general favorable to Philip
pine independence.
The Journal points out, however,
that Frank Murphy took no sides
but as an impartial executive
sworn to administer the law, did
so fearlessly and without bias or
favor. AS a result he is respected
and admired by men of all factions
and shades Of opinion.
Whatever his own opinion as to
The wisdom of the Tydings-McDuf- |
