Teachers institutes are recognized
throughout the state as very important
to the educational interests of the state

desire to keep up with those of other

the one for this county, commencing

Wednesday night, the barges loading
timber in the river had boom strung
across the river to keep. the timber from

the boom caught on Smith Bros.
lighter and caused it to dump her load
of lumber in the river.

=. The PetsOkey Democrat, i'm noticing
the game of ball, last week says: "Mr.
N0teware. of ChebOygan, was hit by ball
and quite severely injured. but was so
far recovered from his injuries to allow
him to go back to ChebOygan." Mr..
