HELP YOUR TOWN,

It is well established principle that the people make the place not it's fa-
 cilities for business. It is true that an energetic and prosperous people may be kept back by a lack of natural advan- tages but this is not often the case. A thousand towns are kept in check by the greed and lack of public spirit of the people, where one is kept down by location. Push and ener- gy overcome all obstacles greed and want of energy will kill the most prom ising locality. So village is to be just what its citizens make it. If the citizens prefer to patronize the merchants and mechanics of other places, that helps to keep the place down. What is wanted is for the people to be united as far as public good is concerned. Patronize each other as far as possible, any new enterprise. especially manufacturies; give warm greeting to any new set tier, and give aid as far as may be in everything that shall tend to the public good.

FALLS VILLAGE,

In our last weeks item about the court, it should have read as follows after correction. The first case was brought by H. o. Crandall against W. H. Sabin for board and book account. The sec ond was by Mrs H. c. Crandan against W.H.Sabin for rent. This was brought, we are informed, after he refused to pay the debt demanded. These cases were decided by arbitration in favor of the plaintiff as stated in last weeks report. The third case; D. Holmes vs W. H. Sabin for personal labor, was tried by Justice J. W. Gibbs and judgment was rendered in Holmes favor for @ small amount and costs. We intend to mention all cases correctly without tech nicality. We would thank any person interested, that finds any errors in our mention of law cases to inform us and we will willingly make correction there ot. CLIQUoT.

STORMN.

The wind storm on Lake Michigan
Sunday and Monday last is pronounced
the most violent on this shore of the
lake which has ever occurred since the
first settlement of this town. AS an
evidence of this it may be stated that
the large sand bar at the north end Of
Washington Island, some fourteen rods
in width, dividing the waters Of the
lake from the inner waters of the har-
Dor, was completely overfowed last
Monday, the waves carrying the waters
of the lake into the north channel.
The oldest inhabitants say no such
overflow of water was ever known be-
fore. The waves dashed over the har-
Dor piers with great fury. South of
the warehouses the bank Of the lake
was worn away several feet, and FAM
lilies whose residences are near the
shore were naturally alarmed. For the
want of better protection with piers,
the land is every year seriously en-
croached upon; entire blocks of land
and streets have been washed into the
lake, as will be seen by consulting
some of the old maps of Southport.
The storm on lake Michigan as well
as some of the lower lakes, is reported
as having been one of the most severe
for many years. The list of disasters
of life and property which has come to
hand is long one.

THE WAY no DO TT.

Mayor Stowell, Of Milwaukee, has
taken a vigorous stand for closing all
saloons of the city a; midnight. The
task is difficult one in great beer
city like Milwaukee, city that, for
it's size, probably breWs more beer and
drinks more every hour, day and night,
than any other city in the Union.
More deeds of villainy and of crime
are concocted at unreasonable hours Of
the night than during the entire day.
A large mass meeting has been held,
embracing many of the most substan-
tial men in the city, at which the May
or was pledged moral support. Every
lawful endeavor of the authorities of
this city to suppress the causes which
lead to crime should meet with prompt
support by good citizens.

Delleyed to becn the road to recovery
Anton Amlorn, Of Bloomfield, one
OF the victims of the cyclone, was
buried in theIlutheran church yard in
Wheatland N Sunday.
The grouId was frozen quite hard
In places on Tuesday morning. 1t is
ABOUT tlmefOr some one to make that
fresh and jriginal remark about "Win-
ter lingering in the lap of spring.
Those who have not visited the
track of he last cyclone may find the
following statements interesting:
The width of its swarth at Amborn's.
in Bloomfield, is at least sixty rods,
but at other places it is much narrow
er
CARPENTERS who have viewed the
remains of destroyed buildings assert
that at least three-fourths of the
materials used in their construction
have either been carried off, or else ut
terly annihilated.
AMUOTnS were eaJlng supper when
Their house was struck. The only
thing they recollect about it is that a
door opened; the next they knew they
were lying in the ruins of their home
and their father was dead.
A view of the cellars of the houses
destroyed shows that the cellar is the
safest retreat in case of a tornado.
Those who had their buildings de-
stroyed estimate the time at from three
to five minutes, when it couldn't have
been as many seconds, so great is the
power of excitement to make seconds
seem minutes and minutes hours.
When the storm was crossing cult
waited ground, it appeared to be of inky
blackness, but when moving it's swath
through the tamaracks it seemed to
clear out. Then the pipe, as some term
it, or funnel, as others describe it,
came out distinct. 1t looked to the
writer, then, like an enormous arm
hanging from the clouds above, as if
the esprit Of the air" was shifting the
earth in his wrath.

across Bloomfield and Randall could
have been selected that would have
done as little damage, as it went a
great part of the way through swamps

1t is stated in quarters entitled to
consideration that the subject of dis
pensing with the system Of itineracy
in the Methodist Episcopal church is
being urged with some prospect Of its
prevailing. The itineracy has been a
successful agency in the organization
and sustentation of churches of that
denomination and increase Of its mem
bership in advance of other religious
bodies in most, if not all, the new
states and territories. In short, it has
done a great work. In the older states
the system has become to be regarded
with less favor, many Of the ministers
inclining to settled pastorships. The
demand for the continuance of the sys-
tenn has probably been growing less.

ACROSS THE At

The Chicago Inter Ocean announces
that arrangements have been made
with other leading papers to print in
this country the Sunday sermons de-
liYered in London by Rev. Charles III.
Sturgeon, on the following Monday
morning. They will be sent by cable
every Sunday night and appear here in
the Monday morning papers. Thus .
sermon delivered in London on Sum
day will appear in the Monday morn
ing Inter Ocean, by the side Of SER
mon preached by Chicago minister,
both sermons delivered perhaps at the
very same hour of the day. Rev. Mr..
Spurgeon is a preacher of worldwide
reputation; he is a Baptist, but popular
with all denominations, being in COM
munion with all christian bodies. We
cannot hear the voice of the great
London preacher three thousand miles
away, but can read his words soon
after they are spoken.
