Chelsea Chat

Mr. TCobt, Mahrle has moved with his family to Manchester. Miss Hianche Colé is visiting friends in Detroit for a few weeks. Bert Sparks leaves in a few days for an extensive trip in the West. The Womens' Relief corps f urnished meals last Tucsday to the voters Messrs. Lewis and Wm. Zinke of Ann Arbor, were visiting friends here last Tuesday. The Ladies' Aid society of Sylvan gave a social at their school house last Wednesday night. A number of our young people attended a poleraising and dance at Pleasant Lake last Friday night. Miss Lottie Steinbach is home for one week; her sehool in the Everett district having closed for the fall vacation. Harry Wood, Anchor Gulde and Bert Howlett went to Detroit Saturday to wituess the Michigan vs. Lehigh football game. Alva Steger of Shephard, Mich., was compelled to come home to vote, as he had been only nineteen days and one i half in Shephard. il e is engaged in the poultry business at that place. From all accounts, if BourkeCockran had attended the celebration in Grass Lake last Friday night, he would have called it a Populist instead of a Republican demonstration. About two hundred men and boys itayed up election night, listening to ;he returns over the wire. There were plenty of small bets made, and the boys shouted "Give 'em the axe" and 'In the neck," until their voices resembied that of the bass singer in the comic opera. Mr. Barney Keelan, son of the late Barney Keelan of this village, died at Michigan City, last Sunday. He was well and favorably known in this vicinity and the bertaved family have the sympathy of all. His remaius were brought here Monday for burial. During the absence of her father, a certain youtig lady living near here, entertained anumberofbicycle visitors. There were three from Manchester, two fiom A mi Arbor and one from Chelsea. She said that she got along well enough, only they would talk politics. The Chelsea band took part in the great parade at Detroit last Saturday, leading the First Voters' republican league. The boys got quite tired before they marched, being compelled to wait over hours for a chance opening in the procession. They were royally entertained, however, and feel quite flattered over the reception given them. A rather curious incident occurred here Monday, showing the effect of coerción, une of the employés on the M. C. R. R. train, noticing a crowd around a Bryan banner, hurrahed with them, and shovved thema "gold" button on his coat, and a "silver" button under his vest. He said that "Under a gold button, boys, lies many a silver heart." About one hnndred republicans went to Dexter last Monday to attend the final rally. They took the band with them, which caused the silver men of Chelsea some annoyance, as they were to have-a torchlight proeession of their own. The silverites got even, however, by meeting the returning delegation at the depot, and carrying off the band in triumph.
