The Whitmore Lake Tourists, and How They Are Spending the Vacation Season

Whitmore Lake, August 3. - We notice in the Washtenaw Times that the oil man from Ann Arbor had his team standing on the street from 8 a. m. until 10 p. m., and a repetition of this would cause the driver's arrest. As usual, the Times' unreliable reports can be refuted. The team arrived here at 9 a. m., at noon had their feed and it 4:30 p.m. returned to Ann Arbor. These are the facts.
