Last week we added to our already
well equipped Office a new Prouty
Newspaper Press, and we hope to get
ont our paper with greater neatness
and dispatch than ever before now that
we have better facilities for SO doing.
An ordinance relative to the conduct
of boys and girls on streets, alleys, hall
ways, church halls or vacant lots within
the corporate limits of the village was
passed by the council at their last
meeting. This is a good move as near
ly everybody in the village has been
bothered with their maneuyers.
The Detroit journal published
letter from st. Nicholas last Saturday,
in which that paper was commanded to
purchase 500 pairs of children's stock
ings, and get them filled and ready for
distribution on Christmas morning. at
which time Santa Claus promised to
call for them and give them TO the
good children on his list. in compli-
ance with the command the Detroit
Journal has ordered the stockings.
The population Of Brocllway Centre
is about 500. and we would say at least
one-half are troubled with some afrec-
ton Of the throat and lungs, as those
complaints are, according to statistics,
more numerous than others. We would
advise all our readers not TO neglect the
opportunity TO call ON their druggist
and get bottle oi Eemp's Balsam for
the throat and lungs. Trial size free
Large bottles 505 and 81. Sold 10y all
druggists.
A floral exhibition on a large scale is
being organized by the Detroit Journal
for the benefit of the various Detroit
charities. 1t will be held next April
in the Detroit Rink, which, by the way,
is located on the site of the 1883 Art
Loan. Each Of the charities has ap-
pointed representative to cooperate,
and all the florists have signed an
agreement to cooperate. 1t promises
TO be an affair of great interest, and
for a most worthy object. The entire
proceeds is to go to charity.
The ExPosIToR will be S1O0 per year,
STRICTLY IN ADVANCE, after Jan. 1st,
1889, or $3.50 at the end of the year.
We desire to get this permanently fixed
on the minds of our subscribers before
Jan. |, in order that there may be no
misunderstanding. Our present sub
scription price is too little when we are
compelled TO wait one, two and three
years for it, therefore we make this
change and offer an inducement for
subscribers to pay in advance. Now
let us hear the dollars tinkle in the till.
This week we are again compelled to
chronicle the collapse of another of
| Brockway Centres prominent business
firms. Wear Il Paisley. On account of
slack trade this fall they made an as
signment on Saturday last to Jas. L.
Lutz for the benefit Of their creditors.
This failure is the third that our thriv-
ing village has had to bear and we
trust that it will be the last. 1t is hop
ed that Wear x Paisley may make
some compromise and be able TO Ie-
sumo business again. Their liabilities
are nearly $4,000; assets not known.
