C, is the at torney of record and M. C. Camp bell is their agent and does the work: Joseph Robertson, of Rush, re ceived a draft last week ot eight hun dred and fifty dollars and of four dollars per month thereafter; Julia A. Hunt, of Owosso, a widow, re ceived this week a pension certificate, dating to the death of her husband at eight dollars per month; also James Wilcox, of Duplain, Clinton Co., Mich., received a check for sixteen hundied dollars on Monday of last week and eight dollars per month thereafter; Andiew Bealey,. Duplain, received a check for eighf hundred and fifty dollars oft' last Thursday and four dollars per month thereafter; and more to follow. ' M. C. Camp bell is putting in his noble work all in these counties. FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. The Owosso Times,' in a double leaded column and a quarter article. brings out the name of J Ion. Harri son H. Wheeler, of Ludington, for Attorney General; but we suspect that the people of Mason county have not been consulted, and if we are not mistaken, they will fail to second the nomination "by a large majority.'- The Lansing" Telegram; Bro. Telegram you are mistaken. Mason county will second the nom ination "by a large majority,", if The Times is correctly informed, ' and we think .we are. - The Howard City Kecord says : 'If Grand Rapids - must furnish the candidate on the Republican ticket for Attorney General, why not lake Hon. M; C. Burch,- one of the best known men in Michigan arid a good attorney. Campbell may be a good man, but it looks to me a little pre vious for a man to move into a place as large ai Grand Rapids and then immediately push himself forward for a State office." Of one thing the Recoid may rest assured, the puta tive father of the infamous slander law that disgraces the Statutes of the State of Michigan, can never be the Attorney General, unless he can be elected over the heads of the nnited press of the State. DEACON E. COOK On Wednesday last death came in-' to our midst and claimed one of the oldest pioneers of our county. Dea con E. Cook died At ihe home of hi son, E. J. Cook, at the age of 85. The deceased was a native of Rhode Island; his boyhood was spent in New York. Early in life he pur chased a farm in Oakland county, of this State, which by his own energy and labor he converted into a beauti ful place. At the age of 36 he moved to this county and purchased a tim bered farm. Tireless effort and ex-. ceeding perseverance soon hiade this one of the most beautiful and pro ductive farms in the county. Quite early, before any one else had thought of such an enterprise, he purchased expensive cattle of the Shorthorn breed, and thus inaugurated a move ment, which has resulted in great good to the county. Deacon Cook showed to the surrounding farmers that good stock and generous feed ing was very profitable. Deacon Cook was twice married, and bothh unions were most happy. The second wife died nine years ago. Seven children are left, four of whom live in or near this city, one at Lan sing, one at Kansas and one in Calu ornia. Deacon E. Ccok experienced re ligion and joined a Baptist church in Oakland county at the age of 30. He was at once made a deacon, which position he honored till death. . His religion was a practical matter, The bible was his guide, and Christ his hope. His life of thorough integrity, entire purity, and real christian ' use fulness, manifested its fruit in a fixed hope which glorified' his last ' dayg. He felt sure, to use his own last words, that he was going home. In physical vigor, sturling honesty, idomitable will, and earnest christian experience, Deacon Cook was one among many. In all matters of temperance even , to the use of tobacco he was always an advocate of total abstinance. He always took great interest in schools. Was greatly interested in politics and all social questions; and made his religion the guide in all Yery Remarkable Recovery. Mr, Geo. . V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich., writes: "My wife has been almost helpless for five ycars.so helpless that she could not turn over in bed alone. She used two bottles of Electric Hitters, and is so much improved, that nhe is able now to do ' her own work." Electric Bitters will do all that i claimed for them, Hundreds ef testimonials attest, -their great curative powers. Only fifty cents, a bottle at Osborn Duo's.
