MIR. Edwin Cobb, of Shiawassee
county, who has been prospecting in

ting, found very desirable piece of
land near Kyle's lake, in Maple Forest.

ailment, as it is a very great misfortune
to be thus afflicted.
1t is fact worthy of mention that
x. s. Babbitt, the boot and shoema-
ker, is turning out lots of excellent
work these days, in the line of sewed
boots and shoes, which he makes
speciality of, as well as more common
pegged work and cobbling. If you
want anything in the shape of boot
wear, but go TO him and he'll give you
fits" every time.
In one of our issues few weeks since.
we made allusion to Mr.. Louis Sands
as being the proprietor of the Manis-
tee river" which statement was based
on the supposition of that being the
fact from frequently hearing that he
exclusively controlled the running of
all logs on that stream but having
recently learned that such was not the
case, and that he disclaimed such dis
tinction, we take this opportunity of
correcting the error, as also that in
which we said the foremen were
bounced" whereas they we're honor

THE USUAL RESULT.
1t is not to be denied that . good
sewing machine is one OF the most inn
portant appurtenances of the modern
household.
We thought we had good machine
in our household until one day the
agent of the New Home presented him
self at our door and proceeded to de-
liver an Grafton upon its characteristic
merits
But" we answered, "our machine
serves us nicely and suits us well, and
we do not care for another"
The agent, however, was persistent,
and finally begged the privilege of leav-
ing one of his machines with us, 'for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-but more to oblige
the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, IL
was natural that the ladies should look
it over. They did 80, and as n conse
quence fell in love with is. They say
that without the slightest wish to decry
or disparage any other machine, this
all things considered, is, in their opin
ion, the most desirable one to be had
The upshot of the whole matter wal
that the old machine was disposed of
and the Light Running New Home
installed in our houseASalhdeeIn mt beii b5ei

that is the erection of grist mill at

Does it pay you to go from 25 to so
miles to get your grain ground at an
expense of from S. TO 1922 IL you
would take the amount that you would
expend in this manner in two years,
you could build mill that you could
control. While lately visiting in Shia-

Later he learned to know that the Bible.

earth on which people lived was the crust
which had gradually formed by cooling OF

Bible had q human side to II. and

unauestionably distinct species OF man.
The supporters OF the doctrine that tho

Of this argument was shown by the fact

The other doctrine advanced by the sup
