Ilobart, at her home in BigRapids, on Sunday, Feb. 2Sth, aged 08 years, 8 months. Funeral services were held frora the Presbyterian church, In that city yesterday. Mr. Ilobart was a former resident of thls city, the mother of Scott Hobart, for 20 mauy years a clerk in Dean & Co.'s store. There was some excitement at the 2d ward polls Monday, owing to a difference of opinión ar8ing between some of the anti-local option workers there and some of tlic stirdenta who went there to electioneer. Thlnga looked pretty hot for a time, and we believe a few blows were xchanged, hut the whole affalr bas been exaggerated largely. The crowd that Kathered was a big one, and had It not been for the wise and energetic coungels of Sheriff Walsh, Chief Sipley, Herman Hutzel, ;x-Mayor Kapp and a number of students whose namen we did not learn, there might have been considerable of a hattle. Boch thlngs are to be deplored, and woiild probably not occur very often dW not men allow themëelves to become unduly excited over election controversiec There ni;iy have been blame upon both sides, and there probably was, but one thing is certain, It takes two to make aquarrel, and our 2d ward people never go into other wards than their own, and no trouhli! would have occurred, had not the boys went where tbey were. The people at that preclnct say that they never go to the University or interfere in anymanner with University affairs, and do not care to be interfered wlth by those who are not citizens or tax payéis. Mouthly niectlngg of tlie Pomológica! Society next Saturday p. ui. Do not fail to remeoiber It. Eugene Helber, of Saline expects to go to Kngland in a few inmitlis to pinchase some blooded stock. The extreme cold weather of Sunday prevented much electioneering on both sides of the question. Our local fruit growers assert that fruit buds of all kinds have not been injured any as yet.

Nathan Keith, uu old resident of Dexter, died this rnornlng of pneumonia. She was mothur to Mr?. Eugene E. Beal, and sister to George H. and Miss Abbie Pond, of tlils city. These sudden changes in the weather from quite mild to extremely cold Is what kills the winter wheat, and unless It stoi8 before long will ruin fruit buds also. The Huron river w:is more than "full" nfter the rain last Snturday morning. It was quite a sijjht to see the anijry waters "rushing.'1 Better than a postofflee rush by a long way.

By requcst of Welch Post, No. 137, Dept. of Mlch. G. A. R. The cliurch door women beggars that ppeared at some of our churches last Sunday with babes In their arms, asking alms, werd found to be a gang of proessionals. There were three wouien nd the same number of men in the nrty, and thcy geemed to be quite uceasful in flnding people foolisb enough o give thcm. At one place one of the women gatliered In nbout $3 from the ïousehold and roomers thereiu. It is harity tbrown away to give to these begars. They are dead-beats and thieves in early overy liiitance. If there are deervinif poor who need assistance there re legitímate ways of procuring eueli sslstance. No one need bei; or starve in his city as no one deserving of aid has een or wlll be refused it. It is a notble fact that the people who are destitute are the last ones who wlll go about seekiijf alms. They ure often too dlffident or too proud to let their wants beknown, and their necessities have to be sought by '.haritable people. We have several adíes enjfagüd in this most oommendable work, who are iintiriug christiaiis und noble, self-saciiticing souls. Ifour citi,ens could find it in their hearls to send he street befTjiurs from their doors they would be dolna un act of practical Rood ensc, lor In living to siich people they are simply placing a premium on muudicacy.
