Fine Club Rooms

A correspondent writing in the Courier this week is evidently not very veil acquainted witli the city in which ie lives. The portion of the artiele reerred to reads as follows: "Have your readers ever thought hat the saloon is the only place in his town where a man can drop in to ead the paper and spend a few moments in relaxation, outside of his place of business?'' The saloon is not the only place in Vnn Arbor where a man can drop in ;o read his paper or spend an evening n conversation or amusement. There s a place located on one of the principal corners of this city that was fitted up about a year ago for the purpose of providing a place for our business men nd clerks to spend their evenings. ?he rooms ref erred to are the parlors nd club rooms of the Ann Arbor Liight Infantry, in the second story of ;he block on the corner of Main and Vashington streets. It is safe to say .hat no better club rooms exist in an nterior city in the state. The rooms are decorated and furnished finerthan any private residence in the city. In he reading room can be found the daily and weekly papers, as well as the eading magazines and monthlies. Beides these are three handsomely 'urnished rooms, used for amusements. 'he rooms are open every afternoon and evening, and during the past year many of our business men and clerks have there spent their evenings' instead of "at the saloons." The present is an opportune time to biïng these rooms to the notice of our readers, as a committee of the Light lnfantry is at present engaged in canvassing the business men for membership in the honorary corps of the company, which corps has equal privileges with the active members in the use of these rooms. Nor is this the only benent to be derived by our business men by joining the honorary corps of the Light lnfantry. Under the provisions of the state law, all honorary members of military companies become exempt from jury duty. This exemption alone brings hundreds of business men into the honorary corps in the eities, where as high as $25 per year is charged for such membership. Here the fee is but $10 per year, including the use and advantages of the club rooms.
