If this kind could be made with proper effort
Let some ofonr leading business men move
in the matter, and at least see what can be
done.

We have room for only the following ex
tract from long letter received from our
old friend King Wilhelm, of Germany

subscription to the TINES for one year in ad

Bismarck, are delighted with il"
1t is entirely superhuous to tell our readers
that the good old Emperor is a gentleman Of

Mr. Adam Dopp, of this plsce, and his
two boys, don't belong to the class who, be-
cause of the hard times, sit supinelv down
bewaling their hard lot, or swearing at the
Supervisors because the County and Town is
having no work done. They don't believe in
waiting for Mr.. Stinson, Mr.. Walbridge, or
some other kind hearted property owner, to
come along and build a railroad to Increase
the value of their house and lot, and put
MONEY in their pockets. Their motto is
THE Lord helps those who help themselves"

bank Of the Nemadji, above the cemetery.
Who can show an evidence of thrifty indus
Dopp never works for the County or Town,
but makes u comfortable living for himself
and family by cultivating land, making hay,
aud cutting wood. His example is certainly
worthy OF praise.

Vermont, and about SO years of age
Without relatives in this country, and suffer
Ing f ON the infirmities of age. she has for
many wears been deserving pensioner upon
the public charity of our town. Her only
son, David A. Curner, who was quite promi-
nent here in early DAYS as a local politician
and speculator, Joined Michigan Regiment
at the breaking out of the late war, and,
after term OF service, appears to have been
discharged, when all trace of him was lost.

The remains of Mrs. Currier will be buried
