The renowned and enterprising firm

The Ludington Record says: "What
did you receive for Christmas? The
heart of We scribe was rnadchappy with
a dumping jack" We received d
chunk of Bologna sausage, by expres S;
and we calculate 1t showed your "jump.

We learn with pain aud sorrow OF
the death of Chas. Il. Carr, Saturday,
Dsc. 2Ttli, and old settler of Lake town
ship. We understand the disease was

The Gladwin Record, speaking of the
deplorable state of affairs In Gladwin
county, and republishing articles that
recently appeared in this p',prr, ssys;
."Mr. Radcliffe, the editor of the STAR,
has been through the mill and knows
what II is to deal with those rJbbcrs of
the people under cloak Of Office. At
one time, 1t is stated, he went about
armed with revolvcrs and knife to
protect himself. He was also
hung in effigy, undertaken to be starved
out, etc, but > p - the stat;
$ Ill trium. hs in the right" q Why,
Bro. Foster, you arc entirely mistaken
about the revolvers and knife. We
never dreamed Of carrying anything
more than couple ofGatling guns and

The lseel City Tin Whistle says ,
'"Tlie Baldwin small try Stopped over
with rage last week, and regrets that
it has SO ill.uscd the officials of TINT
county that they will have nothing to
do with him." AS our reatiers know
we neither said nor intimated anything
of the sort, they are fully prepared to
see how beautifully the innocents give
their friends away. For It is evident
that some one or moro soreheads from
over this way, smarting from the blows
Of the STAR, which he or they could
neither deny nor muster manliness
enough to answer, have been over to
the poor weak-headed infants at Reed
City and made their contemtilde whin-
ing, false complaints. OF all the
champions of the communists in Lake
county, that have had their rise and
fall within the past six years, the Tin
Whistle is the weakest and most
ridiculous. BOYS, hunt around in the
vacuum of the crowning piece of your
architecture where should be brains,
and see If you cannot find slight atom
of manllness and self-respect that win
cause you to tell the poor "iIl-uscdn
officials, when they come to use you as
n cat's-paw, to face the music them
selves, by placing their complaints,
charges, ibjunctions, warrants, onths
and imprecations In black and white,
over their own signatures. Then pub
lish that, and we'll endeavor to crawl
out from under the terrible. load thus
heaped upon us. You're evidently too
young, boys. Business transacted with
minors Is generally void. We want
your principals to como up to the front,
where we can get u shot at them In, q
fair and square way. 80. -t-s,e y
