YpsiiLanti Commercial : "The Cooirier announces Judge ICinne's candidacy for the supreme judgeship in next epr.jiig's election.

Chester, the young colored porter at the Franklin House, tried to encourage a lire n the parior stove last evenimg with the aid of a can of oJl.

Residents and people traveling in that vicinity are very much in favor of putting up a Mglit at the junction of the motor line, and the street railway system.

As our Ypsilanti brothers and sisArbor foir an opera house ever since their handsome building of that kind ters have had to depend upon Ann was cycloned a couple of years ago, and have not been able to get any one to invest a sufficient amount of money to rebuild their own building, isn't it a little ironical that out oí Ypsiíanti should come a person who proposes to furnish Ann Arbor with a second opera house, by converting the rink into a public entertainment hall ? But it is runiored as a fact, and speaks woll for the push and growth of Ann Arbor. The first annual meeting of the Needie Work Guild will be held at the residence of the president Mns. Perry.
