Should the local option elcction fail of a majority in tiiis county, utider the new law one-half of the liquor tax will be turned into the county treasury. It is estimated that the tax of $500 will lessen the numbcr of saloons by at least onehalf, so that in any event the amount coming to the city treasury next May will not be over $4000 or $5,000. So it will be i-een that souiething must be done to raise more money by direct taxation to carry on the city government. With all the cry against our city coumlls of recklessness, there is not a city in Michigan, having as many of the modern luxuries as does this city, that pays so little for it. And the city is entirely free from debt, too. We have the very best of lire protection in our water works, we have public drinking fountains, and every citizen can have all the water he wants; we have the best lighted streets of any city in Michigan; ourstreets are all in good condition; and yet our taxes only amount to $1 on a $100! People sceking homos should make a note of this. How one ludicrons thing leads to another. A certain gentleman in this city was very much amused over the joke on Capt. Uowell published last week. It will be remembered Mr. Rowell got up at 2 o'clock in the morning and opened up the store where he is employed. VVell, our hero went to bed last Sundiy, perhaps not as early as he might (for he is a single min with an kffection for another single person), but with his thoughts so engro8sed with the happenings and sweet conversution of the evening, that he forgot to wind his watch. (An instance of the kind never lmppcned before witliin his iiH'inory ) To make a long story short he slept uiitil 7 o'c'.ock, Ifonday morning, and waking up as usual lie commenced to get up when the thought occurred to liim that he better look at his watch. This he did and there it was plain as day, almost 3 o'clock. "They can't come no Rowell Joke on me," niuttered he and pouuced back in bed again. The next time he awokc he became conscious that sonie one was wrapping at his door, and the glaring light scared him. ili! looked at his watch again and it was still ncurly 3 o'clock. The landlady, however, informed him that it was "plump 1 1 oVlock. and if he wanted his bed made that day he better get out of there in a hurry." Which he proceeded to do, but forgot to bribe said landlady "not to teil anybody."
