The Frankfort Express has doubled its
subscription in one year.

The Flint Globe speaks of ladies So
ciety known as XIV. Its regalings are
thus given the entertainment now be-
coming very popular in the social world
known as high tea. The tealwas held at
the residence of Misses Nellie and Emily
Crocke, on Garland street first ward and
was highly enjoyable affair.
The Caro- Advertiser and Citizen evil
IDENTIFY is not with the new tide. Speaking
of Henry Ward Beechsr's entertainment,
of the actor Irving, and actress Terry, it
recoups: This is not given because of
the moral it contains, but is chrOnicled
as the movements of the leading mem
bers of great mutual admiration society.
The Ishpeming Iron Agitator is thus
suggestive and truthful: Intemperance
is the greatest curse of the Lake Supe-
riOr miners life-Or of the miner of any
other section. in fact-and many of the
dollars so diligently made are poured
down the throats Of those who should ap-
ply the money squandered on intOxica-
ting stimulants to provide for the actual
wants of home.
The Traverse Bay Eagle in resume of
superior advantages of Northern Mich
igan to Dakota truly says of the farmer
oflthe latter territory: In their agricul-
tural operations they produce princi-
pally one crop for export. Thi s crop has
to be hauled in most cases long dis
lance in wagons to the railroad and then
transported MANY hundreds of miles
before 1t is as near to the eastern mar
kets as are the farmers OF Michigan.
The Adrian Record abiding to the
fact that Mr. Lawrence owned the fair
grounds there, and that the lease has
expired, and hears that the grounds are
to be broken up into lots for any and
every purpose says: If the purchase could
be made On reasonable terms as we have
no doubt it could, the city ought and
certainly can afford to become the sole
owner of Lawrence Park. Does Adrian
realize the opp ortunity? Or realizing it
can it afford to allow it to slip out of
its grasp?
The Midland Republican with fine
sense, remarks on the subject of church
and state: There is no despotism worse
than a religious despotism, and there is
no faction more ready to seize and hold
and use an advantage to the disadvan-
tage of its rivals and its own aggrand-
izement, than religious faction, wheth-
or Protestant, Roman Catholic. or other.
We need not go back Of our Own nation
al and colonial existence for illustra
tions.
The Lansing Capital, speaking of the
wild wave of crime that has swept over
the land lately, concludes leading
article with the following force: The
sickly sentiment about the taking of
human life fades out to vapid thinness
| in the face of this dread reality, and
the knowledge that there are those who
having committed this atrOciOus deed
would mot scruple to repeat it as often
as occasion might offer. Public security
demands that doors of such deeds as
these should meet with sure and sud-
den death.
The Lowell Journal has adopted the
standard time. 1t has turned its $500
clock back just 20 minutes by the watch
and has watched the sun 60 down in the
booming west pretty soon after dinner
It has heard the Growing cock perjure
itself in the morning by swearing il
was daylight when by the standard time
It was no such thing, by a large major
ity. 1t has seen 6 p. m. hang back like q
delinquent subscriber promising to come
around next week; 1t has looked in vain
for the evening train to come in about
! noon; it has gone to five o'clock dinners
at 4:3O D. m. and been late every time; II
has adopted the standard time and thu
next move will be to have "a hour chro
nometer. Office hours from to IS o'clock
