He has held the oifice of township clerk two year.s, towinship treasurer two years; ■supervisor esix years. He is now prcsidemt oi tlie "Wiashtenayw Oounty Fair Association. In 1886 when he was elect'ed ppeeddemt o the Fair, it had a debt of four thousand and seven hundreil dollars, and 110 credit. The grounds had dilapidated buildings and iences. To-day the society is out of debt, ha new buildinirs, new fences, giöod credit, aad is reiected by tlie whole community. Anything left in F. B.

Let everyone come and hear Mrs. Hazlett give her strong presentation of political questions, on Friday evening, November 4th, at the Rink. Special invitation to the ladies ! Bread and butter is entitled the first oomeideration in this world, and it ia bread and butter for the citizens of Ann Arbor to have some one at Lansing who will take care of their mterests. The Rink ,vas filled full of people last Thursday night to listen to Col. John Atkinson, of Detroit, and they listened, too. They came and remained u'ntil .the address was over. Not a person present, of any political faith, but went away feeling that they had done a good thing by going. The speaker was at his best, and made a plea íor the party of union, of progress and of good government that certainly must have had n, good effect. One of the strongest democrats in Ann Arbor pronounced the eifort the best political speech they had ever listened to in the city. The colonel is a born orator and he throws his whole soul into his speeches. What a grand .thing it would have leen could every voter in this county have heard him. Tliis te no joke. This is in sober earncst. Taken from a siecial dispatch to the Free Press, -vhich says that the largest and most enthusiastic meeting held in Grand Rapids during the campaign, took place Tuesday evening. Hon. Geo. F. Richard8on and Col. Fen spoke. "The elouquence of Col. Fen and the masterly nnanner in which he presented facts lefore the enraptured audience, who cheered him to the echo, convinced all ailke that he is one of the finest eampaiign orators in our state and shooild be kept upon the stump duriaig the oampaign. He is a sound democrat throughout." Col. Fen is a Bridgewater man. He spoke in Ann Arbor once. We all remember him. Great "goibs" of his glutinous eloquence are yet sticking a round the court house ■nalls, and hanging in hair-like strings fromi the acouetic ■wires that gpan the upper air of the auditorium. Col Fen is a stunner, an Ingersoll incog., a Demosthenes- (before Deooosthenes used the pebbles in hia mooith). He should by all means le kept on the stump - (any kind of a stuimp, but basewood preferred.) Send hiim to Wahtenaw.
