CHELSEA SHOULD GET IN LINE

Talk of Purchasing One or Two Voting Machines

AN ELECTRIC LINE JOB

That is Waiting for Somebody to Take it at $15 Per Month

Chelsea, Mich., Jan. 23. - Mrs. Brown, of Lima Center, an old and respected resident, the mother of John Brown of that place and Mrs. Mark Ormsby of Pontiac, died at her home Wednesday morning of pneumonia.

Louis Barth, who resides with his brother, August, on the Cooke farm, in Sylvan, is seriously ill. Dr. Thos. Shaw, of Ypsilanti. was called Tuesday night to hold a consultation with Dr. S. G. Bush, the physician in charge of the case.

The entertainment given by Miss. McKinnon, of Saline, at the opera house last evening was well attended.

Tonight at 8 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Beeman, of this place, will occur the marriage of their daughter, Miss Minnie Belle, to Mr. William Zeek, of Jackson.

The Epworth league of North Lake, will hold a box social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Daniels on Friday evening, January 31.

Sarah J. LaTour, of Detroit, deputy great commander of the L. O. T. M., will install the newly elected officers of Columbian hive on Wednesday evening, Jan. 29. The regular review will be Tuesday evening next.

Since the D., Y., A. A. & J. line has begun running between Ann Arbor and Jackson they have not seemingly improved the service. The same old complaint, a broken wheel or a burned out motor. [This is due to the inability to get parts for repair, owing to the tremendous growth of the electric car business, with which the shops have been unable to keep pace.]

It is feared that the management of the Hawks-Angus line will die of the enlargement of the heart. They have just completed a new waiting room and freight house here and now are easting about for a man to act for them in the capacity of agent for $15.00 per month. It is said that some of the leading business men are casting their optics in the direction of this magnificent position.

The Boland line seems to be running a regular hand-car service on the west side of the village limits, as a car is seen to run over the tracks semi-weekly.

A GRAFT SOCIAL NETTED $34

SALINE LISTENED TO VERY FINE LECTURES

Rev. David Howell, a Synodical Missionary, and Dr. C. A. Vincent Gave Addresses

Saline, Mich., Jan. 22. - Rev. David Howell, synodical missionary, gave an address at the First Presbyterian church Sunday, on the home missionary work of the Presbyterian church in the state. He said that this work will be made self supporting in the state, and gave a very interesting talk showing the growth of the Presbyterian church in Michigan. He thought there was no doubt but that his parents came in the same boat with the founders of the Saline church, which was organized in the east and came to Saline in 1831. At the conclusion of the address a collection was taken for home missions and $75 was realized.

Dr. C. A. Vincent's lecture, "The Man Behind the Gun," was well attended. He gave a very interesting address, showing the great progress which had been made in the last century for the bettering of humanity. Among the helpful things he said was: That the world owes no one a living, for no man can repay the world for the advantages which it bestows on every man or woman. James A. Garfield, when only a boy, was asked what he was going to be, and said "I must be a man first." So it was with the men behind the gun.
