We made mistake last week in
regard to the nomination of VIM.
II. Fulton, of Tuscola, as congress
sional candidate. We used the word
Republican instead of Prohibition,

The Woman's Relief Corps, G. A.
r., was inspected by Mrs. Plummer,
of Lansing, last week. On Wednes-
day evening reception took place
in the Knights of Pythias hall, and
all present had very enjoyable time.
A large number of citizens were pre-
sented to Mrs. Plummer.
There are yet three or four lengths
of pipe to be laid before the water
works engines can pump bay water to
the citizens. The work Of laying
the inlet pipe took the contractor
much longer than was expected. The
pipe yet to he laid is on shore, con-
sequently it will not be long before
the work is completed.
A. G. Frost has steam drill ma
chine for boring wells. 1t has ca
pacity for boring to depth of 500
feet in the solid rock. He recently
sunk wells, for Z. o. Avery, at Long
Lake, "a feet for S. Smith and A.
r. Blakley. The latter is 36 feet
deep. Three feet of Mr.. Blakley's
well is through hard flint.
The game law of this State says
you can shoot deer from the 1st day
of November to the LIST day Of De-
cember, and so tomorrow morning
you can go out into the wilderness
and shoot all the deer you want, pro-
vided you can find them and don't
miss. The question is between the
and the deer. The law favors neither
side.
.The U. S. steamboat inspectors who
we're here last Saturday, ordered that
the fish tugs Isbell and Fisher should
carry yawl boats. These tugs go out
into the lake about forty miles, and
in case Of any disaster to the tugs, the
men aboard had no means of escape
from drowning except the very pre-
carious ones offered by net boxes. We
think that it is a very wise plan for
the tugs to carry yawl boats.
