   A. L. Voorheis, of Detroit, spent Sunday with his parents.

   Mr. Price is rebuilding his dwelling house on the site of the one burned in December.

     There came near being two big blazes last week as a result of trying to heat up and pushing the chimneys and stoves beyond their capacity. The dwelling house of Benjamin Covert two and a half miles east of Ypsilanti and the Redner school house both created much smoke and considerable of a scare, but cooled off with a few pails of 14 degrees below zero water. 

   The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Rawson was celebrated the 8th at their home in Rawsonville. The company numbered about 125 and adjourned to the hall adjoining where the presentation of some elegant gifts were tendered with a fine program, and a sumptuous dinner. The aged groom and bride are the oldest pioneers in this vicinity.
