The celebration passed off pleas antly, the advertised bill being more than filled for a number had the un expected pleasure of attending a wed-, ding at "Locust Hill," the contract ing parties being Geo.

County Clerk Welch called on his many friends here on Monday last. Frank is a favorite here and is always welcome. Wm.

Eli Reynolds and family, of dies aning, came to Byron to celebrate. B. W. Williams has resigned his office as street commissioner and Hon. H. II. Rosenkrans has been ap pointed to fill the place., We advise all ministers who are looking for rich widows, who want to better their condition in life, to give Byron a wide berth. Roger McCaughna, who was run over by the cars at Fenton one week ago, is reported as gaining and bids fair to recover. ' Wm.

Charlie Conner met with a painful accident last Tuesday while running a mowing machine on the farm of Mrs. , D. II. Blood in Victor. The team became frightened in passing a woodchuck hole, and ran, throwing him from the machine in such a man ner as to place his left hand in front of the cutter bar where it was instant ly cut off at the wrist, and left laying on the ground. He is under the care of Dr. Ward and doing as well as could be expected. Mrs. E. M. Hildrcth, who has been visiting here for the past two weeks, will leave this week for her new home in Winona, Minn., where her husband has been appointed secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The celebration here on the 3d was quite well attended, although the entertainment to visitors through the day was hardly creditable to a village of the pretentions of Laingsburg. There was no oration as had been previously advertised, and aside from tho baby show and rag muffins there was not much to attract attention. The whole business wound up with some very good fire works in the evening. Mrs. Wm. Benson received the first prize for the handsomest baby under one year of age, and Mrs. Charles Throop the second, and al though some mothers were sure they had left prettier babies at home, and some old maids thought they might do better if they had the opportunity, the award seemed to give general sat isfaction. Of course the saloons were ODen with the usual results, money foolish ly spent, volumes of profanity and a few banged up hoses.

Towler, pastor of the Pres byterian church of this place, once in six months is rightfully the proud est father in Shiawassee county. At these, stated periods his six sons hold high carnival at their father's home. These young men hold excellent po sitions abroad and come home for their vacation. From the four points of the compass they arrived here on Friday, where they remain two weeks. The aggregate avoirdupois can not be excelled by any family in the coun ty and each pound has 16 ounces of fun and frolic, good nature and gen tlemanly behavior. They are always welcome to our city. May their shad ows increase. The Carman family gave a concert at the Baptist church Tuesday even ing to a small but appreciative au dience. Such voices are seldom heard in our little city and all were delighted. v A lawn social was held Monday evening at Rev. Towler's iinder the auspices of the Presbyterian society, and was a grand success. The G. A. R.'s all went to Saginaw to celebrate, Monday, and returned reporting a good time, Union services of all the churches were held in the new factory Sunday evening. Rev. T. D. Bartholomew, of Con cord, Mich., former pastor of the Presbyterian church, accompanied by his wife and family are visiting at Mrs. Dewey's. Rev. R. L. Cope, of Utica, Mich., is visiting many friends here. Rev. Geo. Sloan is making a flying visit to the town. . The Misses Savage, of Olivet, vicitJnrr frinrlo 1nr are Mrs. Gray, of Detroit, spent the 4th with her mother, Mrs. Jackson, in this place. Fred Kelsey was home Monday. The celebration of the 110 anniver sary of the country's birthday was a notable success in more than one di rection. There was no more than a usually noisy Saturday and the num ber of drunks and disorderlies was reduced, although there was a dense crowd from 9 a. m. to 12 p. m., which was mainly due to the prompt and efficient work of the marshal and his aids, Not a fight occurred on the street and but one (Mr. Em Dunn) committed for wanting to fight, and in consideration of his sober condi tion for the past three months he was discharged when he got sober. The street parade was well up to the average, although there was a lit tle delay in starting. The oration by Robt. Frazier, of Detroit, was a very happy departure from the usual "eagle scream" and air sawing 4th of July oration. The speaker stepped to the front of the stage, when introduced by the Pres. A. T. Nichols, like one who had something to say, went di rectly at the business in band like one who knew how to say it, and gave the large audience assembled an oration worthy of the day, the audi ence and the speaker. He paid a deserved tribute to the founders of the government, who laid the cor ner stone in the fear of God; reared the super structure on intelligence and adorned it with liberty and edu cation," stopping here and there to emphasize the excellence of the ma terial which entered into the structure and closed by asserting that so long as the stars and stripes float over a free religion, a free press and a free ballot so long as she is invincible. Many lessor attractions were on the programme, such as the parade of the G. A. R., the K. T. and the U. D. camp of the I. O. O. F., the ball game, the fire works, etc., which were all creditable to those who en gaged in them. And as is unusual every man, woman and child could find an abundance to eat and drink, and as far as we can ascertain all went away happy. No accident oc curred and all passed off in an order ly and peaceable manner. Roxy. arala&ti&ff Exorcises of tlie Terry Hizli School. On Tuesday evening, June 29th, the commencement exercises of the Perry High School were held in the M. E. church, which was tastily dec orated for the occasion. Ere it was time for the exercises to begin the large church was packed aisles, gal lery, in short, everywhere one could sit or stand, was occupied, and later on not a few were deprived admit tance. The music furnished by Moore Bros, full orchestra, of Owosso, was such. as thdt excellent band always discourse. After a very appropriate prayer by Rev. F W. Bush, which was preceded and followed by music, U m. M. Watkins, in a clear loud voice, gave an oration on "History, a Source of Power." He showed that a nation must take as its guide the history of the past in order to launch safely ahead into the future. He cited cases where history repeated itself, and clearly showed that a knowledge of the philosophy of events would have obviated it. He was followed by Miss Lena Cudney, who, in a well read essay, ably niscussed the subject of "Wom an's Sphere pnd Qualifications." She showed that while woman's sphere was more that of a helper than a pro- lector. vet her success at whatever sheundertook plainly demonstrated her towering ability. Woman pre pared man for the voyage of life, and every effectual man leaving his mark in the world is but another Columbus for whom some Isabella, in the way of his mother, has laid down her crown jewels. "The Heroism of Scholar ship," was next presented by Gustavus Friegel, the outline of whose logic was that it took pluck to obtain it, it required perseverance to use it, ' and it showed righteousness in giving its results to mankind. Each ot the points was illustrated by fine examples and the entire article did great credit to its author. with"Man: Past.Present and Future," as his text. Geology and history were used to discuss the man of the past, realities for him of the present, and speculations, scientifically advanced, for the man of the future. "The Workings of Nature," was then pre sented by Miss Maytie Alornce, whose fine essay clearly showed that its author was not only an admirer t but a rapturous student of her sub ject, his was followed by aa essay entitled, "Great Men ot History," by Byron Peck. As it would be impos sible at best to mention but a small number of the world's great men, the essayist wisely confined his remarks to the source of greatness, taking as examples but enough shfning lights from ancient, medieval and modern times, to make a continuous thing. Carrie Alexander, in a master style , of delivery, next read an essay on "The Love of Fame." The produc tion was equal to its delivery, and showed that a desire for the world's praise was all right, provided it was sought through proper channels; it also donounced the desire for fame from selfish standpoints. Following this, Fred ..Walker advanced many pointed reflections on "The Uses of Adversity." - Despite the paradoxical title of his subject, he clearly carried his point and made us look upon stern adversity as a needed friend after all. Edith Brown, with Oliver Cromwell as her subject, next entertained the vast audience. The mere title of her subject would suggest to the ordinary reader nothing but a dry detail of history, but Miss Brown clothed the dry bones of history with living sinews and closed with a moral lesson of , golden worth, but not without tirst paying a worthy tribute to the brave old hero. "The World in the Final Era," by Will Calkins, was next brought to our hearing. The article was full of interest and logic, and summed up the result of future time; aside from the wonderful invention and improvements, as bringing abou: a citizen of the world, a unity in thj christian denominationalism, a unit-' of language (the English), a thorough scholarship, a high social standing, and consequently sin reduced to a minimum. Following this, Stanley Olcott read in ' a wide awake, earnest tone, an essay entitled "The Successful Man." ' Energy, he claimed, was the key to success; will power, decision, etc., were happily discussed as attributes. He -denounced mere money making as the criterion of ability. His essay was a master article and must be heard lo be fully appreciated. Next and last on tne program was an essay on "Talents," and followed immed iately with the valedictory. Miss Bessie Calkins, the essayist, while giving due weight to talent and its cultivation, spoke emphatically of the need of energy to drive it. Her val edictory, to say the least, would ha. done highest credit to our proudest colleges. Any synopsis of ours wo i -i far from do it justicejthe vast audien'.. was held spell bound by it. The address to the class, by Re. John Hamilton, was given in the speaker's usual earnest, able style, and was full of interest and able sug gestions. In the absence of the president of the school board, owing to the illness of his wife, principal Monroe conferred th$ diplomas. He 1 j - .j . 1. - -.. j . 11 .1 auuicucu me auuicuic in weu cnosen words on the object of the exercis;s. stating that they afforded the school the opportunity of shedding abroad educational enthusiasm. He spoke of the thorough work done by the class during their years of earnest application. After addressing the class for a few moments and present-"' ing them their diplomas, he closed his remarks by urging them to obtain f 1-iM hnpfita rf 9 rrllAfr training The benediction was then pro nounced by Rev. J. E. Tlatt, and all parted, declaring over and over againf that they had enjoyed an intellectual feast. D. D. Dunninc
