Brown City Budget.

Drum Major Bonioy refuses to
march in front of our city band any
more and says the boys have not
used him well. 1t appears the ma
ior wished the band to serenade Mr..
Cochrane, one of our merchants and
staunch friend OF the majors, and
they would not and the ice cream
we suppose which Mr.. Cochrane had
prepared for them died a natural
death. The boys say they were not
just prepared, also that the custom
airy rules governing matters of that
kind, had not been complied with.
One thing we would say is that Ex.
Major Bonfoy is the right man in
the right place, he being veteran
officer in our late rebellion and has
learned the boys great deal for
which, no doubt, he will receive

BY their Fruits ye shall know them

BY their Fruits ye shall know them.
We are sorry that our esteemed
friend Burwell is so dissatisfied with
the life and honor he has brought
upon himself. He complains that his
neighbors have been trying to ruin
his good and spotless character; but
it is mistake OH his part for his long
and crooked tongue has done the
deed. He has persisted in making
statements against his neighbors,
which the people know are false.
The good Book says: "That ye shall
know the tree by the fruit it bears,
and may know man by the man
ner of his deeds and language, for
out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh." He refers to
burning buildings,stealing, etc. Now
we propose to be able to prove any
and all statements we have ever made
concerning j. r.. Burwell. What
will the public think of man, who
will pound and bruise his wife and
almost choke her to death. Bruise
and pound her in the face till it is as
black as mans boot from her fore
head to her chin. We have recently
known this very good man, ]. r.
Burwell,t to do those very things here
in our midst. What kind of fruit
will we call this? His family tells us
that while living in the swamp in
Maple Valley, about two years ago.
he threw his young son William into
the ditch two or three times in sue.
cession and the boy would have
drowned had not his stepmother res
cued him. BY his fruit we shall know
him. If he wishes us to prove oui
statements we are ready at any
moment. 1t is natural for some peo-
pie to dig pit and fall INTO it, then
complain and blame some other per-
son for the mishap.

Light.

The Egyptian darkness which has here
tofore lowered over the c., r. |. & p.
depot at night, has beon superseded by a
glaring light. Agent Cook has had his
fertile brain at work for some time TO
remedy the evil. He is progressive in his
ideas and wanted the electric light, but
the companies could not afford to extend
their circuits such distance for one pa
tron, and he had to fall back on plain
gas. He bought large lamp of the
Bray patent and has placed it on 12
foot iron post in the center of the plat,
form. Its cheerful rays penetrate to every
nook and corner of the depot, and the
good Graves is able to read the number
of checks without the aid of his glasses.

The rock-bound island of Heligo-
land, which looms up from the storm
tossed German ocean, is not of great
value la itself, but its possession by
Great Britain since 1907, at which
date II was captured from Denmark,
has been, especially in recent years, a
thorn in the flesh of Germany. The
island is triangular in shape and only
a mile in its extreme length. II is
situated forty miles northwest of the
mouth of the river Elbe and its prox-
unity is regarded by the Germans as a
standing menace to them so long as il
remains under the flag Of foreign
nation, for whose fleets il would serve
as a station in time of war. In these
circumstances there is doubtless truth
in the report which is telegraphed
from London to the effect that an ar
rangement had been agreed upon by
which Great Britain will cede Heligo-
lan6 to Germany and receive in re-
turn the lands in New Guinea which
have been taken possession of by Bis
marck in the prosecution Of his colon
ization projects.
