A Cass county farmer who shot a quail the other day found the bird was plump and fat, with its craw stuffed with seeds. On examination it was found that practically all of the seeds were those of weeds which farmers regard as pests. The farmer, at once resolved to shoot no more quail, and has started out to influence all farmers to forbid quail shooting oh their laud and to discontinue the practice themselves, Joe Putts is making plans to open up a new butcher shop near the d pot, using the- same furnituie that Snedeker Nichols had last year and occupying the same room. ' Joe is a good stock judge, has had some butchering experience and will use his sons to help in the business. He expects to carry fresh meats of both home, killing and imported, and he will have a fine line of smoked and cured meats.

He bought a farm near Morley, which is near Big Rapids, and thinks he has a good bargain and a fine prospect, and his friends here will hope that he succeeds abundantly. The County Council was in special session this week to make some neces sary appropriations. Among these was one to cover the expense of a complete auditing of the books and accounts of the county by expert accountants. There was much talk during the recent campaign about “opening the books”, and the action of the county council, all of whom but one are republicans, shows that republicans are ready for the fullest investigation. Of the appropriation S3OO was made available this year and ?2,000 next year,—Monticello Herald. S. A.
