   Chelsea, Jan. 4- About 15 couples of this village gathered at the home Of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Winans, on Middle street west, and gave them a rousing surprise, the occasion being the , fifteenth anniversary of their marriage.

   Quite a number of the boys who have been fishing during the past week or so have been poisoned by using sumac for sticks to fasten their line to.

   The group meeting at Grass Lake, yesterday, was wen attended by members of the Chelsea Epworth League.

   Word was received here yesterday that Milford Q. Curtis. a former resident of this place, was found dead in Chicago on the morning of Jan. 2, at the foot of the stairs leading to his room. He leaves two daughters and one son, who reside with their mother  in Charlotte. The parents separated some years ago and were divorced.

   Dan Walker, of Lima, is visiting the farmers in this vicinity buying up a carload of choice lambs.

   John R.Gates, of this village, just sold  to Detroit parties a carload of prime beef cattle that he has been feeding at his farm in Lima.

    The waiting room for the D., Y., L, A.,  & J. line is nearly ready for occupancy.

     As next Monday will be Epiphany Day, the pastor A. Schoen, will hold services in St. Paul's church at 10:30.

     As Dr. Geo.W. Palmer, of this village, was returning  home from Lima, where he had been to visit  a case, he thought that he would pass by a team that was just ahead of him, but in so doing the cutter  struck a stone and the doctor  was thrown backwards from his cutter striking his head cutting two gashes and the horse dragging him some distance before it stopped. After getting up called Dr H. W. Schmidt, who took several stitches in his scalp and sent him about his usual advocations. 

     Michael J. Schinger  of Sylvan's farm has frozen water pipes.
