STEAM UP--We were quite delighted, yester-
day forenoon, TO witness the firing up" of the
boiler at the new steam mill in this place Ger.
tain welcome sounds, suggestive of confined steam
soon after greeted our ears, and carried our minds
eye back to the days of SAvARY and those other
old fogies. The whistling of steam, wthal is in
dicative of busy life and its thrifty avocatons.-
We expect to see EAsrMAN's mill in active opera
ton in a few days. 1a9.I.cf ed sin
The spread of intelligence may be described
as half column newspaper article with but one
idea expires sed in it--EIchange. IS .la
For proof of the truth Of the above, read the
leaders that have lately appeared in the Grand
Haven Clarion and Muskegon Journal. Rather
longer than ga half column" it is true, yet they
contain but one idea.
THE TIMEs.-Now is the time to subscribe for
the Times We should be most happy to furnish
paper for one year. and feel quite certain that at
the expiration of that time, each subscriber would
be quite unwilling to do without it, Therefore,
call at the Office while attending the county fair
or at any other time when in Eastmanville and
have your names entered on the subscription book.

it in exchange therefor; If not will give credit,
when requested, for in view Of the glorious crops

The ATLANTIC TELEG RAPH.-It seems that this
enterprise Is a failure, for the present. Still We
have tho faith to believe that it will sometime
succeed. At all events, future ages will think the

WORTHLESS MoNEY.-Banks are falling every
day. Farmers and others will do well to be care
full and keep but little money, except that Of the
oldest and soundcst institutions in the country.
SOMEBODY has written q book on the .art of
