The citlzens of Eaton Rapids have raised aboat $1,000 to present to Dr. Morris H.ile, whose sanitarium at that place was recently burned. Dr. Hale was at one time proprletor of the min eral sprints house in this city. It is too bad that some of our citizens could not (jet up suffloient energy to clean tlieir walks of snow dunng the slushy times of Friday and Saturday.

Lawrence were appointed a commiitee to look after the interest of the city in respect to the proposed removal of the universitv hospital to Detroit. The demócrata at iirst had it in mind to invite some republicana to tlieir banquet, but they have decided not to, for the reason that "they have been feeding the republicans for the past twenty-tive years and now they propose to feed themsclves.' We cannot blame them. The Hirkett Manufacturing Co's Pulp Mili, four miles uortli of Dexter, burned about 2 a. m. Feb. 28. Loss $12,000 to $15,000, fully covered by Insurance.

By special request Ann Arbor lias been exempted. Among the republicana being mentioned for mayor this spring is the name of L'lios. J. Keech, formeily aldennau from the 4th ward and a good one, too. With such men as Mr. Keech and Col. Dean the republicana are not lacking in good timber, that's certain. City Treasurer Watts has made the best record on tax collecting of any treasurer for years, and thiE in a bad season, too. He only returns $312.50 as uncollectable.
