ELLINGTON Ed Merrel, of Gilford, is visiting at C. J. King’s. One of Slade Lazelle’s best cows died last Tuesday. Darious Gould has just obtained from Ohio, a B. B. red game rooster that has taken five prizes at the Ohio state fair. William F. Campbell and Miss Anna Tichs started Monday forenoon for Newark, Gratiot county, intending to get married at Caro before taking the train. They expect to spend two weeks enjoying their honeymoon. The best wishes of their many friends go with them. The sad news came last week of the death of Miss Clara Stone at her father’s, W. F. Stone, near Watrousville, of consumption, in the 23rd year of her age. Miss Stone had taught the school in district No. 2 of Ellington, for about one year and was compelled to stop teaching almost two months ago, and after four week’s illness at Fowler Smith’s was taken home to die. She was highly respected by all as a teacher and friend and it was with regret that the district gave her up as a teacher. May an All Wise Providence sustain the father, mother, sister and brother in their bereavement, and their loss be her eternal gain. There is a question going to arise this spring to be settled by the legal voters of the township. Should the declaration of certain person be carried out which relates to the establishing of a site for a town hall and the raising of the means to buy and build a hall for the accommodation of the public at both township and general elections. Two places are spoken of to locate and build upon. One is near the Ellington post office and the other one and one half mile east of the south west corner of section ten near the cemetery. The location at Ellington corners is too far to one side to be accommodating to the larger part of the township while the other would save one and a half miles travel for the whole east half of the township each way, besides being more convenient for all east of the river and south of White Creek. And it would be as convenient for the most of the north part of the township. It would most undoubtedly be a help to the settlement of the eastern part of Ellington which would be a benefit for the whole township. Besides the eastern part of the town has no church or other place for holding funerals. Should the question come up as it is now likely to do there will be a chance for a big election over the question as there are a good many who will work hard for their own interest and care for no others, thinking their place as always the best. The questions if brought up should be to do justice to all. Place the hall if one is built where all can be benefited equally. Divide the distance as well as possible and try to give all an equal chance in the matter and no injustice will be done to any. Many who are now the farthest away would be satisfied to have is as near the center east and west as can be, although it might be a mile from the center north and south. It would be more convenient than now, besides giving a chance to have other convenience besides that of elections. It is to be hoped that should the question be passed all will be willing to act in an unselfish manner and work for the interests of the whole town and not for a small part thereof. We lay these questions before the people so that they may weight them well in the balance before acting upon them and try to do justice to all when the time for action and decision comes.
