zens during election day. If this re
spect for order and civility was dali!
manifested by our village officers i
would serve to check the increasing
number Of drunkards on our streets
: and point emphatically to the advent
of muclT needed reformation.
o. w. Mills has purchased the grain
house Of Jas. Ferguson in this place
and intends hereafter to conduct the
same. lie will move his family to this
place and again take up Il residence
here. 1t is his intention, as heretofore,
to pay the highest price for all kinds
of grain and produce; and by fair deal
ing expects to do tlourishing business.
Get him to bid on your grain before
taking it to other markets.
Sunday night being Halloween good
many depredatiOns were indulged in
by the small boys in the village. A
number of empty beer kegs were piled
up in front of the Bee Hive, and one
would think by all appearances, that
the bees had had quite night of it.
| Notwithstanding all this, it shows the
| position G.. Cooper takes in regard to
the whisky traffic. He is strong adj
vocate of Prohibition and this was done
as joke on him. lie takes it good
naturedly and feels proud of his stand
ing as a temperance man, and well he
may.
When trade grew slack. and bills fell
due, the tradesman's face grew long
and blue; his dreams were troubled
through the night with sheriffs', bal
ifs all IN sight. At last his wife unto
him said, "Rise up at once, get out of
bed. and get out your paper, ink, and
pen, and say these words unto all men:
My goods | wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters; my prices
are so very low. that all will buy be-
fore they go" lie did as his coed wife
advised, and in the paper advertised.
Crowds came and bought of all he had,
his bills were paid, his dreams were
glad, and he will tell you to this day
how well did Printers ink repay. lie
boasteth with a knowing wink, how he |
was saved by Printers ink.
The Wooden Mills, in this place, are |
having big run of work and are busy |
day and night. The proprietOrs, c. An
dreR IL Sons, are preparing to Iun all |
winter to turn out the immense amount |
of orders now OH hand. Dole ~ Son,
plumbers, of Port Huron, have the con-
tract and are busily engaged putting in
gas pipes through the several apart
ments of the mills to be used in heating
by steam. The steam which now goes
the waste pipe. will he utilized
for heating purposes this winter. We
are pleased TO see such an enterprise as
our woolen mills prosper. We regret
that we haven't more like enterprises
in our midst. Let our merchants, busi-
ness men and citizens in general work
early and late to establish more here.
1t is now certainty that the project
on foot to tunnel the ST. Clair river will
be carried out. Below is what the PIT.
Huron Sunday Herald has to say in re-
gard to its construction:-Reg
the plan of construction of the st. Clair
river tunnel, it is stated that the tunnel
will be of brick. circular in shape, and
with walls thirty inches in thickness.
Strange to say. it will have only one
track. Mr.. llobson says that if the bus
mess warrants the use of a double track
another tunnel will be constructed. A
careful estimate of the cost Of double
track, he says, shows that it is more
economical to build two single-track
tunnels than one double-track tunnel.
The tunnel will be one mile in length,
Of which 1900 feet will be under the
river, $50 feet under ground in Canada
md 800 feet under the ground on the
American side"
Last evening the citizens of our viii
age met at Central hall to discuss the
of giving the necessary en-
for the building a Roller
Process FIGURING Mill Our time of
going to press prevented report of the
'esults; but will add that we consider
he enterprise one of great value to
his place, and also to the farmer Of this
'icinity. should the project be carried
nto effect. The advantages of the |
Roller Mills, improved and perfected
)y modern invention, are rapidly sup
planting the stone process as may be |
'een by the example of Old Brockway.

where the old processes were formerly

forms of activity and trade
pring to their feet with renewed life

With the same spirit of enterprise that
our neighboring towns,
without shadow of indifference, to
receive the proposed enter
rise as vigorous impulse to activity
md mutual progress.
