ant evening was spent. The first game was
played amidst great enthusiasm This how
ever was only the beginning of the very inj
terestlng programme for the evening which
was not completed until the happy party
had INDUCED in delightful music, an elegant
banquet and graceful dancing. The bean

play it, but the following way is the most APP
proprlate: The Young people divide them
selves into two different companies. They
then stand up in a row, the two companies
facing each other. A table is then placed
at each end of the line The bags are plac-
ed on the tables at one end of the line. The
person standing nearest the bags picks them
up and passes them to the one next to him
or her, and so on down the line to the table
at the other end Of the line The side NOV.

To our Customers and
Friends.

The year 1885 was to us an espe-
cially agreeable one. Our trade was
better and more satisfactory than
ever, for which we return our thanks,
and promise that in the future, we
will as in the past, endeavor to merit
a continuation of the patronage 50
literally extended to us.
We handle only the best of every
thing in our line and sell at bottom
prices.
This week we will commence to
handle dressed poultry, fresh from
first hands in Tennessee, and will re-
ceive on Friday evenings for the Sat
urdays trade, and will continue to
do so as long as the weather and de-
mand will warrant. We always try to
remember that pleased customer is
a satisfied and steadfast one. Besides
choice groceries, we will sell Hay,
Grain and Feed. We are also agents
for two standard brands of Guano,
one of which we sold last year and
gave complete satisfaction. Give
them a trial.
Respectfully,

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrOus wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he tooka
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one pays
for printers ink the greater is his gain.

The Inter Ocean in speaking of Gen,
Sherman says. "Ihe old fashioned
idea of patriotism seems to surge along
his veins whenever he speaks. His
hope, his pride is in the boys and girls,
and it will not be his fault il these
young people do not come to the duties
OF life full OF that surt of patriotism
that makes y great people a great ma
tlon." Such types OF patriotism and
greatness us the life Of our fallen heroes
give us can not be too vividly present
ed to our youth. Children should have
a high standard Of life; their aspira-
tions strengthened toa pureunseltishli life
if we would have them the philaithrop-
lists and heroes OF the future. In many
respects we grown people are like cssil-
dren we need some stlmu,aht to action.
We too, often feel the need OF a strong
er hand and life thoughts. to direct our
own and lead US gently up the rugged
hills of every day adventure.

daily sacrifices rescning the lost over

duties Of life in detail are heroes too
though unrecognized. Our children
taught to sobriety and truth cannot ial
to give them control over their own

Good for Alpena.

Whether the people are all christians
or not by common repute they have
shown by their united action that all
OF their business nen are workers and
that is the Kind Of christianity we like.
Tbs articles OF incorporation for a
creamery have already been sent from
Alpena. $1,000 Is the amount of capt.
al. Stock at $50 a share. There is
hundreds Of dollars if not thousands
for any town that first starts q cream
cry and Washington Springs and Crow
Lake should have one each. All farm
ers of our county could not be accom-
modated with any less. Farmers are
needing them now more than they ever
viii hereafter. We find by the ASSESS
ors report last july (and that is not
likely tDbe over ylrawn} that there were
2OC2 head Of cattle in the vicinity of
washington Springs which we think
would give i've or six hundred COWS
and many farmers say that they would
Immediately add to their present mum.
Der il creamery is started here At
Grow Lake Mr. Vessey says that an
estlmate,a a canvass, has been made and
1900 cows were found within a radius
OF II miles from that center. One
third Of that number would starta good

sons take hold Of this matter Who will

Thousands of dollars that should come
