The Courier says we are opposed.to lamp
We are decidedly in favor Of lamp posts. They
are great convenience, and there are occa-
sions when there is an urgent necessity for
them--when they are absolutely requisite.
Take the case and occasion OF . visit Ito our
pleasant and enterprlslng village by an editor
Of large and leading newspaper IN one Of the
many suburban hamlets, who had met many Of
his warm, heated and generous friends and &C
quaintances, and who had trotted him around
to the many smiling places and talked politics
to him until he had grown tired, and who cut
loose from him just before train time and left
him to wend his weary way TO the depot over
near White Oak. What could be more fitting
and appropriate than line of well REQUESTED
lamp posts, at suitable distances, against which
the tired and worn pencil shower could recline
at intervals along the tedious journey? Unfor-
tunately our line consists OF one solitary post
two blocks from Main street, with never an
other on that route. Our hero OF the quill
having started for the homeward bound train
found this one solsce and a prop, and the two
maintained their fratsrnal relations for 80 long
time that it became necessary to retrace biz
steps and wait for the next wagon. The Tins
was whied away by friendly games and pleas.
antries until the weary one stumbled against 9
cue, which mishap would not have happened
had there been = well regulated system Of
lamp posts along the route the weary quill tried
TO navigate. Yes, sir, we are decidedly in "a
vor of lamp posts-of lamp posts, sir.
And then how nice and handy it would be fol
the Courier man if nice lamps were mounted
on the topmost peak Of the posts. 1t woulC
save him the trouble and expense OF lugging

Mrs. ]. H. Collins OF Hamilton, and Mrs.
Albert Rogers Of Hartford, met with an acci-
dent one day last weak which 10 extremely
painful, and it may result in seriously GRIPPING
her for the remainder of her life. In alighting
from buggy her entire weight was thrown ON
ono foot aud the cords and tendons OF one
knee, winch had previously been injured, we're
torn from the bones of the joint to which they
had become attached, causing her intense pain.
She ls an elderly lady aud abe will probably be
y great sufferer from this accident for some
time to come.
II is a curious fact that at Decatur and west
ward there has been O fall OF snow to the
depth o. at least foot on level, while at
Paw Paw and Lawton there was at the same
time only light covering, and at Kalamazoo
none at all This is the fourth or fifth occur
ance OF this meteorological curiosity during the
past three years, according to our remembrance
The new highway called the Blade and Dine
Road leading southeasterly from Decatur gives
great satisfaction to the people living on the
Valley Road, east, and in Porter township, who
thus find short cut to Decatur. Another ap-
preparation Will be asked for, next spring, for

1t s unaccountable why 80 much prejudice
exists against nearly every medicine that Is
advertised, and simply for the reason that it Is
advertised That some are worthless is no
reason why all should be condemned. We can
name many medicines that are household bless
ings. and which have been the means of saving
a vast amount Of suffering. Notable among
these is Lawsons Curative, which has justly
earned for itself reputation, even among
physicians (wbo rarely recomm end . medicine
that Is advertised) for the cure OF rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Sciatca, and the various pains OF
the back or eide. 1t Is fast superseding the
oily linIments which have been so long used.
