Adrian Press Items

The Ann Arbor üourier says that "At the Ypsilauti Salvation Army barracks last Wedoesday evening, 51 songs were snng without a break." Drove clear through bef ore stopping to feed, as it weie. "My business is, picking up, sinoe eleotion," as the Ypsilanti tbief remarked, wben he "swiped" f rom a hall table, the $20 overooat belonging to a Whittaker swain, who was payiDg bis address to a young lady, in the parlor. It is said that the Adrián Press gas engine is often mistaken for the editor. - Ypsilautian. Not so, for two reasons, lst. The editor :s often mistaken for the gas engine. 2d. The Press has no gas engine. The Detroit Tribune and the Evening News both published a group of portraits of the members of Michigan's coming senate, but left ont the meinber f rom this district. Why? - Ann Arbor Courier. Probably becanse the Tribune and the News had nothing against him. It is recorded i'by the Ann Arbor Courier that "The Stars of Ypsilanti kicked the stuffln' out of the State St. Angels of Add Arbor Saturday by a score of 4 to 0." This incident is of immense value in psychic philosophy, demonstratiug as ifc does, the materiality of angels, who in this instance had their filliug displaced. There must be substance to ao angel. The '"Rtuffin' " oan't be kicked out of "uothiDg." If thora is a republican who deserves (wbich we doubt) to succeed the present worrhy postmaster of Ann Arbor, tbat man is Geo. H. Pond, of the Courier. As a campaigu writer Pond is "meauer than 'pusley, ' " and his editorials against democracy. the fulminations of the most untrammeled romaneer of the time. He is a brave fighter, even when the f acts are "dead against bim" ; never knows when he is whipped; faithful in his friendships; personally a gentleman; politically a frank, open-gaited, manly liar, and if virtue gets its reward, Pond will get the postoffice. We hope to see him write P. M. after his Dame.
