Other people may think just as they choose
but we think those elegant and tasty program
mes for our graduating class done at the Nor
THERNER Office, are little ahead of anything
we have seen in that line.
Our citizens will be pleased to know that
VIM. Reed, who was so seriously injured by
the explosion at Quincy, is still improving
at that he will, no doubt, fully recover from
his injuries and that he will not be disfgur-
ed thereby.
Mr.. Henry Paige of st. Louis, Mo-, ac-
companied by his wife and child, is visiting
at his brother Johns. Mr.. Paige was very
i'll on his arrival here, but is somewhat inn
proved and hopes are entertained for his
recovery.
Capt. Smith of the Long Brick, had lot
of white vests for which there seemed 20 be
but little demand, and so he astonished peo-
pie by marking them down to ten cents
apiece. He has none now, they lasted but
an hour or two.
The seventh institute of the Almena, Por-
ter and Antwerp Sunday schools will be held

very interesting programme has been prepar-

requested to bring Gospel Hymns.
The ST. Joseph TraCeler-H Herdld. in its last
weeks edition, exhibited commendable enter
prise by publishing full and complete re.
sumo of the industries of that town, and also
an elegant supplement giving a beautiful
bird's-eye view of the city, harbor and lake
front.
The Criterion Spring Company have fin
ished their office and spring house in a very
tasty manner. No stranger can come
into town by way of the railroad without
seeing the virtues of the water staring him
boldly in the face-that is, unless he comes
i'll the night.
The board of directors of the Van Buren,
County Agricultural Society held meeting

MUM list. A special premium of 500 is
offered for grange exhibits. Liberal stock
premiums are also offered. In the speed

The Hartford S. o. V. Drum Corps, under
the superintendent of l. II. Murdck, visited
our town last Thursday morning. They
gave very fine exhibition of their prof.
cheney in drill and treated our citizens TO
some excellent martial music. Mr.. Murdick
is proud of his boys and has good reason for
being SO.
On Saturday last we noticed tent pitched
in MIR. j. G. McLain's yard and wondered
what it was for. A great racket there in the
evening led US TO conclude that the pente-
costers had returned, but, on inquiry, we
found it was only Sherman's birthday party.
The boys and girls say they enjoyed them
selves immensely,
We see by the Durango, Col, Herald
that our former townsman. Mr.. John
Knowles, has removed to San Diego, Califor-

Paw Paw, who will wish him success and
prosperity in his new home in the Golden

Your smart, amt you? Why didn't you
stop off and see a fellow when you passed
through Detroit last Saturday morning.
So writes our friend Del. Cummings, in let
ter of the 9th inst. Well, Del. we did stop,
went up town far as city hall, but as the
train left at seven o'clock a. M, we knew
very well there was no use looking for you
at so early an hour.
Quite number of people were made seri-
ously i'll at the soldiers reunion at Four Mile
Lake by eating ice-cream. We understand
| it was prepared at the same place as that
which caused the sickness at Lawton only q
| day or two before. When the young man
walks out with his best girl let him be sure
to impress upon her mind the danger that
turks in the cooling compound.
| According to the returns of Supervisor
Free, there were twenty-one deaths and
twenty four births in this township last year
This does not indicate a very rapid increase
of our population. The indications are that
babies will soon become novelty in this To-
cality. Are they an exception to the ac-
cepted rule that "the supply will equal the
demand" or is there largely diminished
demand for babies?
There will be grand, old-fashioned
Fourth of July celebration at -Four Mile
Lake, on Monday, July 9Th. Steamboat

be expected, as "mine host Scovilie Of the
