Teachers Examinations.

Teachers public examinations for
Gratiot county will take place as follows;
Ithaca, August and 3, lSSS.
IT. Louis, August 81 and Sept. !, lSSS.
Alma, Sept. 2S and 29, lSSs.
Commencing at o'clock p. IN. of the
first day. First and second grade GER
tfcates granted only from regular eX-
animation, August > and 3.
All persons intending to teach dur
ing the ensuing fall and winter are re-
quested to avail themselves, if possible
of one of the August examinations. 1t
is better that teachers become legally
qualified before the school year begins,
and before they make applications for
schools. It's annoying 20 school boards
to negotiate with unlicensed persons
for positions IN their schools, and be
compelled to remain in uncertainty
several DAYS or weeks, awaiting the re-
suit of future examinations.
And besides, the experience of the
past JcdI HAS lloNcu W Illc DOdlu VI
Examiners, that late examinations con-
Glct so seriously with the other duties
of the Secretary, that they should for
this reason alone, be avoided. especially
after terms of school have commenced.
The opportunity. therefore to obtain
a certificate Late in the fall. will un-
doubtedly not be offered to the same
extent that it has been heretofore.

aminers for Gratiot County.

Our Flop.


While there has been but one paper
published at this place, we have deem
ed it best for all interested, that it be
conducted on neutral grounds politi-
cally. We have aimed to keep clear of
political discussions in Difference TO the
opinions Of those of our friends who may
not agree with us upon the political is
sues involved in any discussions OF
such subject not because we have had no
political preferences, but upon the ad-
vent of "A second paper this is all chang
ed and we foresee that politics will cut
some figure in the management of rival
newspapers in any community. We
therefore place ourselves in advocacy
of the platform and principles of the
Republican party, because their adop-
ton and incorporation into the legsla-
tion of the country will, in our opinion,
best subserve the interests of the
American people. We believe in the
policy of protection to American in
dustries. We shall labor for the sue
cess of this policy. We shall be tolerant
of different opinions, and while
we will strive TO avoid unreason
BILE radicalism we shall not be luke
warm. Thanking our friends for
liberal patronage and late encourage
ments we shall strive to merit its con-
tinuance in the future. We shall as
ever boom Alma and protect her busi-
ness men and enterprises.

DISASTROUS FIRE!

DISASTROUS FIRE!
About o'clock Sunday morning the
citizens of Alma were aroused by the
cry of fire to find NJ. B. Faughner's
Excelsior works in the grip of the in
satiable monster. The Fireman and
citizens generally were promptly on the
ground. but owing to lack of facilities
but little could be done, and the large
building with all of the machinery and
about sixty tons of finished products Of
the works and a large amount of stock
on the yard adjacent to the mill was
entirely destroyed. This is very
heavy loss to Mr.. Faughner and his
two sons, who have shown great indus
try and enterprise i'm bringing their es-
tablishment up to a successful business
standing. in the face of all the adverse
circumstances with which they have
had to contend. They had, however,
succeeded SO far that their business had
become remunerative and financial sue
sess seemed assured when this misfor-
tune came upon them.
The mill and engine were owned 10y
W. POllasky who had 10 insurance.
Loss probably about $1,000. Faughner

with $500 insurance on machinery.

Competition With Pauper Labor OF
Europe!

But bark! I hear frantic voice from
Ohio. 1t is that of Judge Foraker
1--WE can not, we will not, he vocifer-
ates in echo of Sherman, "enter into
degrading competition with the pauper
labor of Europe. Rather let us keep
all our products to ourselves and man
ufacture all we need, whatev, be the
cost.n just here, gentlemen, iffor one
moment I wander aside from the
straight path of scientific discussion
into the crooked by-ways of rhetoric,
let it be distinctly understood that it is
in pursuit of my opponent. Who. then.
are the panper laborers Of Europe?
They are the melancholy drift-wood OF
by-gone centuries; men whose natures
have been crushed into hopeless de-
formity by the incubus of political, !,
social and ecclesiastical tyranny, the
tripIy hIdeous nightmare of the Dark
Ages; who dwell in the misty mias-
matte valleys of ignorance and SUPER
stition, unvisited even by the vertical
sun of the 10Th century; women who
still reap wheat and CLEAN like Ruth
in the fields of Boaz; whose threshing
floors are Araunah's, and their plow-
shares Eiisha's; the whole circuit of
whose agricultural operations you may
