TWO NEW COTTAGES AT WHITMORE

EIGHT PERSONS POISONED BY PRESSED BEEF

The Church Ladies Cleared $60 Saturday-The Base Ball Game at the Picnic

Whitmore Lake, Mich., Sept. 2-Two years ago Joseph McCormack, of this place, secured a position with R. H. Lane & Co., wholesale boot and shoe dealers in Toledo, and by strict attention to business and always looking after his employers interests he has been advanced to the position of travelling salesman, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. McCormack is only 20 years of age. Joe is congratulated by a host of Whitmore Lake friends.

Ground has been broken for two more residences on Elizabeth street for D. Rorabacher and Prof. Wells D. White, to be completed in two months. Jay G. Pray has the contracts.

Dr. John Lemon says that a number of our Northfield citizens have been on the sick list, among them, Miss Edna Fohey, daughter of Thomas Fohey, cholera morbus; Thomas Preston, cholera morbus, and Mrs. Carroll, also Mrs. Frank Spiegelburg, who has been sick for the past two years has had a relapse.

Eight people were poisoned by eating pressed beef at the residence of Henry Jung. Dr. Lane was called but said -it was not serious.

Ernest Paul, of Ann Arbor, made a flying business trip to our town yesterday.

George Howard, of the Stark's livery, was here yesterday in the interest of his firm.

The ladies of the church cleared $60.10 at their chicken dinner on Saturday and are delighted.

The farmers who so bitterly complained of the excessive rains are now very much in need of a shower but are ashamed to be too demonstrative.

J. W. Feiner, of Dixboro, was umpire in the South Lyon and Hamburg hall game Saturday and gave the best of satisfaction. The game was hotly contested and was won by the score of 5 to 6 in favor of the South Lyon and Emery aggregation and the Hamburgers feel jubilant as they had only their home nine. J. W. Fienner is the well known and successful auctioneer of Dixboro and is gaining a good reputation as a base ball umpire as well as a fluent auctioneer.

O. M. Kelsey, the efficient deputy sheriff from Ann Arbor, who had the peace of Whitmore Lake in his hands Saturday during the great tri-county picnic where a conglomerated and promiscuous gathering of 12,000 people assembled, is to be congratulated on the fact that not one disturbance occurred in this great throng.
