When 15 years old she came to Michigan, settling in (Jreenwood township. She was mar ried to John Hicks May 14, 18C5. Unto this union there were born three chil dren, John, Jennie and one dying in infancy. The subject of this notice had been sick a long time, but her ill ness was borne with great patience and fortitude. She died Tuesday, Feb. 27, 1900, lacking one day of being 58 years old. The interment was made in Elmwood cemetery, the mother being laid beside the son, John, who had pre ceded her to the better land by only a few days. The funeral was conducted by Itev. J. A. Howe. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of all in this, their double bereavement. A Card of Thanks. I take this method of thanking my good neighbors and friends, the F. St A. M. brethren and the church, for their untiring kindness and helpful aid and sympathy during the recent sick ness and death of my beloved wife and dear son, John. I assure these one and all that their help was greatly and truly appreciated in the time of deep and multiplied sorrow. Robert Kicks. Gas and Guessing. It may, or it may not be true; there fore believe or do not believe, just as it suits you. We give it just as we got it, with the advice that none of our readers tell it to any one as true with out further investigation. The story is to the effect that some time ago a Sanilac Centre man was in Yale, at which time he told an Expositor re porter that a certain party had told him, which certain party had been told by another certain party that a great railroad scheme was sprouting and that Sanilac Centre, Yale, Peck, and other points were in it dead sure. It is the talk, says this knowing one, that the Pere Marquette will abandon a part of its line between Pad Axe and Palms, and instead will run a new line south to Sanilac Centre and Peck, con necting for Port Huron and Saginaw at Yale. Now, we ask, what is there certain about this scheme t In the first place, the talk is an absoluto cer tainty and can be relied on as talk. In the second place: tho plan con summated would give the P. M. Com pany solid control of the Thumb, shut ting out forever all schemes for oppo sition lines. With such a plan, it is quite true, the cost of operating the separate line would not be materially Increased over the present plan of con necting at Palms, and it would be an immense advantage for all Saginaw passenger and freight traffic.

E. F. Fead, Clerk. To The Public. It has been reported throughout the village that the firm of C. Andreae & Sons, haye been using the city water for drinking, boiler, and dyeing pur poses in violation of their agreement with tho water board. Upon investiga tion I find that such is not the case. In justice to tho above tirm I authorize the publication of this, the result of my investigation. James McColl, Village President. Wrongfully Accused. Of late a report has been circulated through the village to the effect that we have been using village water for supplying our steam-boiler, coloring wool and other purposes which was contrary to the agreement with the water uoara. Not until Mr. Edward Andreae an nounced himself a candidate fgr the office of Village Clerk did this rumor come to our hearing and as we are not using village water contrary to agree ment, we at once invited the members of the water board to visit our plant ana satisfy themselves by making a iun investigation. We are surprised that some of our citizens should countenance such ru mors without at least trying to ascer tain the truth of them. Any person feeling himself interest nrl m 1 r wictfr na of onr flrrna on1 rr n Ira full investigation as to the extent of Village water used. C. Andreae & Sons.
