Let even the man who kef-pa our de prorably poorly managed livery stable (I mention no names) and a certain grocer who worked against me at the last election Join with our brave men, our noble women and our sweet, sweet children In showing that they are thankful to Providence for placing the destinies of this lovely place In the capable and unaolled hands of one whom modestly forbids me to pralsa at tblfl time." i t xVl GGLETON, Mich, ( j Nov- 22.
