Per cent. of attendance at the high school for the spring term 95 ; per cent for the entire year 94. - Dexter Leader. We venture to assert that but few schools in the state can produce a better record of attcmlance. Ifthere is a baseball club in the county that bas any conceit filed away in its bopom about playing ball, the Chelsea Junior Club would be pleased to have a chance to pound it out of them witli bat and ball. Their average age is 10, and weiifht 115 lbs. A line looking delivery wagon thopatentod property of an Ann Arbor maiuifacturer. was exhibitefl on the street thia week. Iu elegance and convenience it is hard to beat, and we should judge it would be a valuable acquisitlon to any dealer. - Ypsilanti Sentinel. Tbis pear story is not equal to the first apple story ever told, but the Dexter Leader says lts so; " Two of ourcitizensW. H. Lane and T. Burn?, have each in, their garden a iear tree upon which are pears half grown, and blossoms which opeued last week." Mr. H. B. Wyckoll', of Lyons, Iowa, a retired legislator, and farmer, was in the city thil week, on a general tour through the state, visiting relatives and acquaintances ut liirh he has many. Mr. W. was a resident of Ann Arbor, nearly flfty years ii gn, and linda houses that he built there still standing.- Ypsilanti Sentiuel. The same oíd story told over and over again, comes from the Leader : "llenry Ncib and fainily, who a short time ago removed from the township of Dexter to Abllene, Texat, returned lastFriday night having come to the conclusión that althoujrh Michigan may not be the best country in the world, it is certainly not tl worst.'1 Work on the Corporation is finished for the seasou. Our streets have been greatly Improved: also the park fence. windmill, and band stand. Nothing will iinprove the sirccts like gooil gravel, and public fenccs and bulluulgl like good paint - a fact tliHt our street committee seemed thoroughly awure of. Let us exteiul to them a liearty vote of thanks. - Dextcr Leader. While on our way home one noon lately, w found a ten-year oíd using a toy pisto) to fire caps amonjt a beyy of rirls. A little tarther on we found a five-year old using one in much the saaie way. Will sonje one be kind enough to teil us what the law of Michigan says regarding these pistols? We understand that some of our inercbants haye thetn for sale. - Herald. We are sorry that the Chelsea folks have deckled to have a celebralion July 3d. Ann Arbor bas ahvays been obliyring nbout keepinjr out of the way of other places in the county, and now should be glven the liearty cc-operation of tlie whole county in tsefforts. We should especially like to see the wide-awake and progressive citizens of Chelsea down here to he)p us celébrate. The old pioneer fumiliarly and affection alrly known here as "Uncle llilly" Wil8on, died at Rockford, 111., Tuesday, and the reniains brought to this city, the funeral lieinj: held at the residenoe of J.

Thost' who carrlt-d wheat over tin winter muilu a great mistake this itmfl In tact it is ncarly always a mistnke to do so. - Chelsea Echo. Chas. Laubenjrayer, living on theUran II rniid, reports that while ïvturning home l'roni Ann Arbor, Tuesday night, he Wa set upon by three men in the "bigswamp" and robbed of all his inoney, about f7 lic a ihr robben irere two colored aiu MM white man, and tbey seemed to bc in walt for anothsr man. - Saline Observer Hut trunips must nol be prosecuted aiu sent to piison, you know. lt Is belter by far that every man in the county shouli be waylaid and robbed. Of course it is. James Taylor returned latcly from a three weeks sojoiirn Ín Toxas. He says lint tliey are havingdry times tliere, that yerything s parched with drought, and iver beds dry.
