What the years will bring us, none can
say. -
But one thing we know. If we were to

the old-time spirit here would remain the
same:—the friendly spirit of fairness and
eo-opeiration which has been our guiding
principle from the beginning.
This bank plaices friendlines on a foot^

A general • air of mystery together
with long guesses surround;, the taking of! options on several farms in the
Sharon . Hollow neighborhood, north
and west at town.
For' tlie past two weeks or more
several -men headed by Mr. Blanch-
ard, formerly a mill owner at Brooklyn and later of. Dexter, have s>ec,ured
several 60-day options on farms, most
of which are-along the river, including "also the Kiirkwood waterpower.
Goad prices have beau paid * with
checks on an Asm Arbor bank..
The faeti that Mr. Blanchard has
-had-deals with Henry Ford of Dearborn, leads many to tbhik^Mr, Fcrd:
is the buyer, and they .are having vis-
Ions of a Ford factory on the site of
the old Kirk-wood miiWi, with the large
acreage in. that vicinity to be utilized
in raising something to be manufactured for the latest Ford profiuet.
Some gujessers thiink the -land will become the homes of employees at a
factory in the hollow.
Then there are other guessers, who
having in mind what Messrs. Gould,
Detroit "'architects, have started on
the. town line roaid south of town,
where they will beautify Iron Creek,
now have visions of a- larger project
of similar nature at and around1 Sharon Hollow.
But apparently it is all conjecture,
•though thejfaict remains that someone
intends to acquire a large tract and
the prices paidl for short term options
indicates that the secret will, be revealed later.—Manchester Enterprise.

,Unlika most great singers, he does
not offer a set program, instead book-

tributod through the audience and
tlie noted' Russian bass announces
as lie goes along the number which
he will sing. Sometimes his programs
are of one type and again of quite
another, but always -either as a formal-number or an encore he is bound
to sing "IJhe Volga Boat Song." He
has had a most remarkable   career.
.As a boy he suffered all the pangs
of pavea'ty; as aj young man he eked
out an  existence, by doing    all, sorts
: of things, finally he got an opportunity to sing and by indomitable per-
sistance he" forged to the front. For
many yal.ars he has been, a dominating figure in the music centers of
the world.    Opera, concerts  and  al-
