The copper country is soon to have q
distinguished visitor. who comes to Lake
Superior expressly to examine the cele-
brated native copper mines of that dis

The West Branch Times speaks Of
the Cortland Lumber Company's works at
that place as follows: They now have five
machines in operation besides the saw for
cutting up the lumber into sizes as ordered
for the market. Their dry kilns work to
perfection, and the lumber is perfectly
seasoned in six days. They are unable to
fill orders on account of scarcity Of logs.
A stock will be put in this winter to last
them through next season. Some of their
wide boards are q curiosity. Archie Blake
cut on one of the machines board 81 feet
wide, g. l6 thick, and l.. E. Miller cut on
the same machine one 7G feet wide. w.
M. Curtindall cut on larger machine one
55 feet wide and 7-l6 thick. 1t seems al
most incredible that SO much could be
gotten out of one log. The factory is q
grand thing for West Branch. They have
paid for labor and material since starting
upward of $4,000"
Albert Vogel has sold 500, 900 feet Of

Last spring Clara Demo, young
lady residing at Carrollton, commenced
suit in the Circuit Court against Harry
Lisle principal of the Carroliton schools,
charging him with breach of promise.
This suit was commenced on the eve of
Lisle's marriage with another young lady,
and he was arrested ON the train on the
way to the residence of his bride, near
Chesaning, and locked up in Jail. He
procured bail on the following day, and,
proceeding on his way, was married.
subsequently Miss Demo Withdrew the
suit and the matter has slumbered until
faw daVs when Miss Demo preferred
charges of immortality against Lisle with
the school authorities. These charges will
be investigated by the County Board Of
School Examiners OF course the Board
of School Examiners will not pass on the
guilt or innocence of Lisle, says the Sagi-
nav Courier, but will simply investigate
the charges, and if the members are sat
isfed there is foundation for them they
have it in their power to annul his certifi-
cate as n teacher. 1t is said Lisle s
troubles will not end with this investiga-
tion.
