Tlie Daily Times n-eoil havo no fear that the country superrtaora require an excuse to "salt tlie city." That is one of the tlihijrs they do as regularly as the year rolls around, and as no excuse luis lecn necessary for them in tlie {past, it is not likely they will need one Ln t'lie futuro. So that is no "argument" why the city should not be divided into additional wards. A prohibition county convention, wUtJbí a dozen or so present, was held in tliie KuiervUsor's room of the court house last Prtday aftemoon.

J. 1!. 8 teer e was carrded, setting forth that it was the sensfl of 1he meeting that the prohibition party 'was ready and willing to Unite with aaay other party that would adopt its principie of prohibition. In other words tliey were not ready to le swallowed, but stood ready to swullow. A list of deleigates were cliosen to the etote convention as foll-owe : B. J. Conrad. A. W. Augir, P. M. White, J. E. Bowdtoh, T. A. Duim, Ann AFbor ; Russell Hoeves nnd R. C. Copeland, Dexter. The tollowing good story on one of our genial county officials, is told ly the Dexter News : "A Scio fricml Hoêoram us ,1hnt Register of Deeds Hu&hee ninde an unusuully quick trip Brom the Btiation, home, one evening Jast week.

W oould not afford to play tJiere if given tlie e.ntire receipts o( tihe house." Finally, after practically gnaranteeing the receipts, Mr. BftWyer eetnred Clara Morris for one ing, Wie date being fixed Thursday, March 2d. And so for the first time C'lnra Morris will appenr in a mail town üke Ann Arbor. We predict that it will not be tUie luist time. Wlien she comes to understand the audienccs that Ann Arbor turns out for tir6tclass people, in all lines of entertainment, she will have the city placed upon lier regular schedule. There is not a city in tïie country where talent is more appreciated than in Ann Arbor.
