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
