ID. Williams, the new proprietor
of the Howell mills at this place, be-
gan a few days since the work OF
thoroughly overhauling and relittlng
the same for business. Mr.. w. is a
practical miller, and intends, after
putting his mill in proper shape by re-
pairs and the addition of such new
machinery as is needed, to turn out
work second in quality to no mill in
the country. The mill will be ready
for business in about two weeks and
farmers should make note of the fact
that we will then have two good mills
in operation, with facilities to do all
their grinding promptly.
The Romeo Observer has the fol-
lowing in regard to the l.. & L. II. Il. :
1T is very probable. that the | X
l.. r. r., will not he built this summer.
The dropping off in the receipts of
railroads has put Il damper on all new
work. If the work referred 10 is post
bonded, it will not be to a later date
than the spring OF 'S5. Ii any one feels
like singing the cid and time-honored
81 told you so," at those who favor
this project, we can tell him that the
road is certain to be built, unless some
thing more discouraging than anything
we have heard of transpires. Other
projects in the state in connection with
the M. c. II. r.. have been laid over to
another year, so it is plain there is
nothing particularly dlscouraging in
the outlook of the l.. Il. l.. road.
On Tuesday Aug ), the chairmen
Of the Boards of School Inspectors of
the several townships in the county
meet at the clerks Office in the city of
Port Huron TO elect member of
the Board of Examiners in place of
Darwin Drake whose term expires.
The Board, at present, consists of
Harvey Tappan of the first district |;
Lincoln Avery of the second. and Mr..
Drake of the third. In looking over
the ground for successor to MIR.
Drake we would propose Mr. James
+. LutZ. of this township. Mr.. Lutz
has been closely identified with the
schools in this section of the county.
having been engaged in teaching ten
years, and has held the office of town
ship superintendent of this township
during the year of 1878, 1870 and 1881.
He is thoroughly qualified for the po-
sition, being one of the ten teachers
holding first grade certificates in the
county and one of the two teachers
holding first grade certificates in this
district. We hope to see him elected.
We are again at the wheel having
returned this week from our visit to
our old home in Canada greatly i'm
proved in health and better prepared
to deal out news to our subscribers.
Our visit was short but it has done us
heaps of good both mentally and phys
ically. One Of the pleasant features of
Jur trip was the ride down the picture
sque st Clair river to DeJroit, the
beautiful city Of the straits. We took
passage on board the magnificent
steamer Idlewild, of the Star Line
Route, which makes daily trips to De-
troit from Port Huron leaving the
foot of Butler street at eight o'clock
every morning, Sunday excepted. The
steamer is well equipped in every par
ticular and is one of the fastest boats
on the river. The crew are all accom-
modating and respectable fellows and
we would advise parties going to De-
troit or any port along the line to take
a star line steamer for comfort,
pleasant ride and quick time. We
found business in Canada very dull,
owing, as claimed by the business men
over there, TO the coming presidential
election. Here Is point to consider.
Should we have free trade with Cana
da the presidential election would not
effect them so much as it does now.
Did you ever think of it? How much
better it weuld be for the two countries
should annexation take place.
