It is beiieved there isn't a locality on thé round earth where the streets are so abominably bad as at Anti Arbor. At a fast walk or at least slovv trot, people are jolted out of their buggies, the deep water holes make life preservers a necessity, and the only whole toe nails in town are those on the cast iron monkey near the court house which typifles th'e student toughs of the unhappy burg. If something isn't doue right off, the bats and owls will take full possession of this bobgasted abodé of the unrighteous.- Grass Lake Aews.
