Adrian Press Sayings

Geo. Stoll is a hard working type sticker iu an Ann Arbor newspaper office, and last week was united in marriage to a very accoiuplished youug lady ! of that city. He is said to be an honest ; man, but his wife he Stoll. The regents have ordered 200 "lockers" placed in the basement of the law departruent, for the exclusive nse of the law students. The sheriff allowed that there was no room in the jail at Ann Ariior, and the city refnsos tu build a lockup, and soroe provisión had to be made. Sam G-uerin, of Chelsea, found two pocket books over there in one week. They belonged to fellows who had paid village taxes. and had uothiug in them bnt a receipt for eleotric light tax, Captain Allen s speech on wool, and two other holes. Miss BaciU, an accomplished organist of St Mary's church at Chelsea, has resigned and moved to Texas, where Mr. Hogg is governor. Why not secure Miss Ham, of Wauseon, to fill the vacancy, if she is williug to shoulder the responsibility? There is no donbt but political economy is made a practical stndy at Ann Arbor. About all the fraternities have a special building erected which is run in the interests of the society. One of these "f rat" spcieties went into the financial hole about $800 worth last year, and uow its high rollers are exemplifying sharp finalice, by oftering to settle debts for fif ty cents on the dollar. People residing in glass houses, where the tariff is high, better uot throw too many stones. One of these Ann Arbor newspapers wonld do well to bear this bit of advice in mind, or the first it know there will be a smash - up right in the rainy weather. The captain of the Salvation army at Ypsilanti aunounced that at his next meeting he would teil who wasthebiggest liar in town. He had an immense crowd to hear him and he told them that it was the devil. There were over 400 very mad men because each had expected to get his name in the paper, and the entire 400 swear that as the captain is the biggest lir,ergo,here is the . Miss Ernma Bower, of Ann Arbor, discovered that the coming wman couldn't make thiugs certain as a surety on a bond, and with reluctance she was obliged to accept the guarantee of a masculine bondsman. The law forbids a married woman being found as surety. Law is very considérate of married ladies. Ann Arhor is the home of much law, too. The law must oe chauged. Hiram Pierce, of Chelsea, harvested an ear of yellow deut corn, which he hnng ap in the savings bauk for people to gaze at, and observe the benefit to agriculture tha(t comes frcm being the home of a farmer cougressman. The ear had an avoirdupois of two pounds, and is larger than that of any editor of the long-eared species in the state, who writes weekly about the benefit of the McKinley bill. It has 26 rows, each containing 52 kernels, making a total of 1,352, more kernels than would be run across in the whole Kentucky country. Hon. A. J. Sawyer has lately completed the most convenient and pleasant dwelling in Ann Arbor, and is now enjoying its luxnries. That's better than going to cougress, and being obliged to write 643 letters a day, to keep in touch with a loving constitueucy and also being obliged to go on record as favoring a system of inexcusable robbery by sapportiug the republicau doctrine of protection. Just as likely as not, too, he would have to climb the gold standard, and that's pretty mean business. Bro. Sawyer received a blessing in disguise when Spalding hooked onto the congressional persimmon. Judge Kinne, of Aun Arbor, may be a sound lawyer,a just judge and an upright citizen. But he will do well to emulatothe "coming womau" overthere. Mrs. Kitredge receivespermission from the board of public worKs to remove a tree from the street in front of her premises. Kinne lies back with a doublé barrel shot gun with a hair triggor and reversible ramrod, threatening to colonizo the cemetery with auy one who touches a huge oak tree that stands plumb in the center of his sidewalk except to skin his nose or bark his shins in the ordinary way. St. Peter will have it in deep for Judge Kinne when he applics for entrance. He will point to a wall of profanity three miles high and make him jnnip over it, or fall down, down, down to - say Judge, better get that tree out of the sidewalk right away.
