"L H. Reade, of Flint, Mich., has purchased the extensive hardware business of Bailey and Son and will take possession as soon as inventory is completed. Mr. Reade, who has been largely engaged as a contractor and builder, having erected many of the cottages on Lake Orion, is one of the solid business men of Flint and a hustling and enterprising young man. He will make his home in Orion and proposes to push the hardware business in the locality and we bespeak for him a liberal patronage. The attention of our readers is called to his advertisements which appear in this issue. The members of the retiring firm, Messrs. Bailey and Son, who have by fair and honorable dealing built up a lucrative hardware business, will engage in other occupations. Herschel Bailey will, however, remain with Mr. Reade."

"BAILEY LAKE - During the rain, hail and thunderstorm that passed over this place last week considerable damage was done to the oats and corn crop, and several buildings. Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn and sheds were struck by lightning, and with contents burned to the ground. Loss, $1,000.00, insurance $800, in Oakland County Insurance Co. It will be remembered that this is the same Mr. Bailey that buried six of his children in one month two years ago. For the past four years Bailey Lake settlement has been visited by remarkable and destructive fires that can not be accounted for. One John Black, had his house burned, Ranson Johnson, Wm. Bailey, P.H. Smith had their houses burned, and Whinfield S. Bailey had his house partly destroyed by fire; and now comes Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn, with nearly all his wheat crop burned to ashes. During the late storm Joe Case's barn was blown to pieces by the wind, and considerable damage done to old Joe Ross' crops and fences.".
