-Prof. HUBBARD, who condesended to settle in Grayling, has slid out for parts unknown, leaving his family in a destitute condition. Mr. A. J. ROSE visited them and found they were suffering from cold and hunger. He brought them to town and started them on their way to Saginaw, where it is supposed they have friends. the boys feet were so badly frozen that they looked like as if the flesh was decayed. (17 Jan 1887)-Mrs. Mary HUBBARD, the woman who came to this city last Saturday night, having with her a little girl ill with black diphtheria, which facts have been previously noted in the COURIER, is entitled to much sympathy. Early yesterday morning the little girl died, the burial taking place in the afternoon. the woman also had a little boy with her, whose feet have been so badly frozen that there is danger of his loosing them. - Saginaw Conrier. (24 Feb 1887)
-Prof. HUBBARD, the boss grainer of the Saginaw Valley, has returned with his family and denies in toto, the allegation made by us and some others, that he had left for parts unknown, and his family in a destitute condition. (3 Mar 1887)
-Prof. HUBBARD is one of our most conspicious landmarks. He is an old soldier, a hunter, a fisher, an artistic painter, and an excellent judge of raw whiskey. He is near to natur's heart and in close touch with God's creatures. On Tuesday he told us that in the early part of that bright day A. H. JOHNSON, section foreman, found two bald eagles fighting and had killed one with a club. The bird measured 5ft. 2 in. from tip to tip. Being encouraged by the man of the pencil he further deposed and said that he himself had caught a mink in his bare hands, killed it, held the pelt for $5. And still the scribe kept his ear to the ground and learned that not long ago the Prof. caught a coon in a trap. The animal was kept captive until its keeper got hungry enough and then it was killed and eaten. Mr. HUBBARD will verify the above, and he can carve a cherry tree any day with the ghost of Washington. - Lewiston Journal. (4 Oct 1894)

FOR COUNTY CLERK.
Wm. G. MARSH has grown from boyhood to man in our midst, and is known to the citizens of this county as a success, toiling on the farm and using every opportunity to obtain an education, which he has mastered until he is eminently fitted for the position to which he aspires. He has been a successful teacher for several years, and is now in the employ of the M. C. R. R. Co., and in every position he has held he has won and held the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens, as proven by the fact,that he has been twice elected clerk of this township, and it is safe to assert that the township records were never kept in so perfect condition. He is sober, industrious and trustworthy and will attend personally and constantly to the duties of the office, to which there should be no doubt of his election. Vote for MARSH and you will vote right. (15 Oct 1896)-Waltron LOVE, of Center Plains, brother of A. J. LOVE, of this place, will move to Virginia, next week, in company with W. G. MARSH.

He will locate on the James River, southeast of Richmond, near Malvern Hill, a locality well known to many of our old soldiers in this place. The AVALANCHE will follow him to his new home, and with his many friends wish all prosperity to him and his family, in their new location. (1 Apr 1897)
