They Roasted Marsh Mallows

Last Evening And Ate To Their Hearts Content.

Charles A. Pray Discovers An Honest Man In Ann Arbor.

Whitmore Lake, Aug. 12. - (Special to Daily Argus). - The young people of Whitmore Lake were invited last evening to a marsh-mallow roast and 26 of them reported to the dock where the little steamer Petrel was ready to take the party across the lake to Stilsonburg, were they disembarked and climbed the hills and at the extreme summit about 600 feet above lake level they lighted a fire and roasted and ate marsh-mallow to their hearts content. At 12 o'clock midnight they embarked for the city. This was one of Miss Nellie Stevens' popular parties and was very enjoyable.

Wm. Gerstner, chief of Ann Arbor's police, and family, are occupying the Shady Nook cottage for a few weeks.

Mr. Frey says his brother at Emery has sold to Jacob Rauschenberger a Deering corn harvester. It is now set up and Mr. Rauschenberger has already secured all the work he can do this season. This machine cuts and binds the corn nearly the same as wheat is cut and bound.

Miss Pearl Moss, of Detroit, is visiting her uncle and family, Jacob Zeeb, of the firm of Zeeb & Frey, who has been busy for the past 10 days on his farm taking care of his crops and says wheat is almost a failure, but his oats, potatoes and corn crops are very good and he says farmers cannot complain cf any crops this year excepting wheat.

The flag pole with large gilt ball on top was placed on the cupola of Geo. W. McCormick's new residence yesterday and the star spangled banner unfolded to the breeze. This is a fine residence of which Pray Bros., builders, are justly proud.
