There is considerable stir over in Pi.

There is considerable stir over In Pr
nora township In regard to some sixty
or seventy dollars surplus money from
a sale of two estray horses which had
been taken up, advertised, and were
sold last year by G. w. Holly, a then
Justice of the Peace. 1t seems that be-
fore the year expired for which the law
requires the money to be held subject
to the claim of the real owner Of the
animals, Holly's term expired; but he
did not turn over the money. He now
claims that on the 9th day Of last July,
after his term had expired, he paid the
surplus TO the original ewner Of the
team, who was homesteader in Man
istee county. Holly took no receipt,
and could not tell what township in
Manistee the party resided in. Super
visor Heilmann has just returned from
Manistee county, whittier he went to
to endeavor to find the party to whom
Holly claims to have paid the money;
but says he was unable to fiad any
trace of such person. How the matter
will terminate remains to be seen.
The Board of Supervisors of Mason
county had a pretty lively time of 1t at
their recent session. After they had
passed upon the equalization of rolls it
was found that quite large amount
of taxable property had been omitted
from their rolls by Supervisors Foy
and Gaylord; representing Wards in
Ludingtsn. The action of equalizing
was rescinded, and All effort made to
correct the rolls wherein the deficien-
cies occurred; but the plan was frus-
trated by the two Supervisors abscond-
ing with their rolls-unmistakabl
signs Of guilt, We take it. Warrants
were issued for tile offenders; but at
latest accounts, the matter had not
been adjusted.
We were pleased on Tuesday morn
ing last to receive call from Rev. w.
Camp, who was formerly at Chase,
and who has many warm friends i'm
the county. He is not regularly sta
tened at any point now, but works as
an evangelist, holding revival meet
ings, organizing new Congregational
Societies and strengthening the weak
ones. He was just returning from a
series Of meetings at Brown, about Is
miles north Of Manistee, where thirty
had just been added to the member
ship Of the small class at that point.
He went from here to Chase, with the
intention Of accompanying Rev. s. 8.
Haines, Of that point. to Tustin, where
1t Is contemplated holding protracted
religious services.
E. w. Trout has resigned his posi-
tions rs postmaster and express agent
at Reed City, and J. n. Crocker has
been appointed to All the first named
vacancy; while the American and U.
s. Express offices have been consoli-
dated, with Lonsbury as agent. Mr..
Trout goes to Cleveland to accept q
moro lucrative position In the employ
Of the American Sewing Machine Co.
He was one of the first comers among
the business men of Reed City; was
universally respected; and his removal
will be regretted by many. We wish
him unbounded success I'm his new po-
siti0n.
Holden, Of the Farwell Register, has
commenced the publication of q new
paper, at Cedar; called the Gladwin
County Register. 1t promises to be a
sprightly, wide-awake sheet-such as
Holden knows how to get up-and no
doubt will prove valuable aid in the
development of the new county where
1t Is located. May 1t live long and
prosper.
Peterson's Magazine for December Is
on our table, ahead of oil others; mir
acle of beauty and cheapness. It has
tive splendid steel plates and nearly
fifty illustrations of fashions and pat
terms. The terms are low-$2 q year,
the postage prepaid by the publisher.
To clubs, cheaper still. See our list of
clubbing rates.
The deer are being slaughtered quite
rapidly. On Monday, A. A. Blanchard,
of Yates township, killed four. @. w.
Helms, of this place, killed two, yes
terday; and VIM. North, q. o. Swift
zer and Mr.. Emory have also, contrib
uted, this week, to the death roll of the
feet-footed animals.
Supervisor Heilmann, of Pinora, was
in Baldwin Wednesday, and gave US a
call. Judging from the fact that he
renewed his subscrip tion, we conclude
that the exposure of fraud and corrup-
ton I'm the STAR has not made 1t "re-
pugnant' to him.
