This And That
THIS AND THAT
From Michigan Papers
About the only persons in Washte-
naw county whom Judson has not land-
ed in office, so far as we can learn are
Uncle Geo. Wheeler, J. S. Gorman,
Ez. Norris, Rice Beal, Editor Moran
and President Angell. If there are any
others, we are willing to stand correct-
ed and pay a fine, If it is not over half
a million. -Adrian Press.

A Northville man raised 67 bushels
of strawberries on half an acre of
ground. He was bragging over the
money it brought him, when he read
Lewis of Ypsilanti, had sold a
measley three months' old Cocker
Spaniel pup for $120, and he was so
mad that the strawberry mark under
his left ear, faded out entirely.--

What's the matter over in Washte-
naw Co.? Either the schools fitting
pupils for teachers are slighting the
work, or the boys and girls are degen-
erating, or the county examiners are
putting on style and elevating the
Standard, for at the last public exami-
nation, but 11 of the 40 candidates
were able to pass examination. Some-
thing wrong about this, in the county
having the normal school, the Univer-
sity of Michigan and Billy Judson,
the pusher. - Adrian Joker.

We have a notion to lend our hand-
kerchief to Ann Arbor, out of sym-
pathy because, as the papers say, the
electric road will eventually run from
Adrian to Detroit by way of Ypsilanti,
without change of cars, and leave Ann
Arbor on a side track. And again, the
Enterprise would not steal one grain of
comfort from our sister city Ypsilanti.
We have been so long on the same line
- Ypsi. branch - you know, that it
must seem good to know that you are
out of the woods in earnest. But it is
not safe to build up one's city on the
ruins of your neighbor. Ann Arbor is
to have a new hospital and when they
get to running cars through from Ad-
rian to Detroit without change, they
will be in such a hustle to get there
that the farmers along the line will be
all crippled up and will have to be
taken to Ann Arbor for repairs, so the
road will be used often enough to keep
the weeds down and the geographers
won't forget to put the name on the
map. - Manchester Enterprise.

Some Ann Arbor people at Zukey
Lake thought they would like a piano,
and thereby mingle machine melody
with the music made by mosquitoes dur-
ing camp life. The piano was sent for
and placed in a flat-bottomed boat,
They bore it gently o'er the billows of
the two lakes, but on nearing the
shore of the second, the boat capsized
and piano was "put in soak" for a few
minutes. - Chelsea Standard.

Adjutant-general Case passed through
this city last evening on the Michigan
Central and was met at the station by
a committee of members from the late
Co. D, now Co. L, asking that he
present to the military authorities of
the state, a petition signed by every
business man in the city asking that
the company be known as Co. D, in-
stead of Co. L. Adjutant-General Case
will use his influence to bring the
change about. The company at Ann
Arbor are making a similar objection
to a change which has been lately made
in their company's name - Battle
