Eaton's Grocery Store Burned.

About two o'clock Sunday morning,
policeman Dewar discovered the
grocery store of H. j. & w. H. Eaton,
on Chisholm street, to be on fire. At
the time of the discovery, the upper
part of the building was all on fire
inside, and seemed as if it had been
burning some time. He gave the
alarm and the fire department prompt
ly responded, Notwithstanding the
temperature was some IA degrees be-
low zero. In a few moments after
the alarm had sounded its shivering
warning, the flames broke out through
the roof, and sparks began to fly
abundantly over the many wooden
buildings near by, including the fo1n-
dry of the Alpena Industrial works.
The indications then were that a big
fire was impending, and many citizens
hurried out to the scene. The cold
was excessively penetrating, and the
fire boys had a cold and extremely
hard and disagreeable job of work be-
fore them. About two feet from the
burning store was the livery stable of
Leavitt & McPhee. 1t was in great
danger, but by good work the flames
were prevented from reaching it. All
the horses and rigs were taken from
the stable, as it seemed almost impos.
sible to save the building. A couple
of hours hard and terribly cold work
by the firemen controlled the fire and
it was located to the Eaton store. 1t
was as disagreable night for firemen
to fight fire, as can be manufactured.
Mr.. Eaton says he was at the store
until II o'clock, and when he left
there was no sign of fire. In answer
to question as to his loss he said /:
"When we took stock last January.
the inventory footed up $4,000" He
has no idea how the fire occurred.
The loss of the firm on goods and
building must be about $4,000, and
there is an insurance of $1,000. Mr..
Eaton was burned out twice before
in 1872 and 1875.

Saved the Value of a Farm.

Sellers Cough Syrup has attained u
reputation almost equal to Sellers Pills,
and more could hardly be said of any
other medicine. The Syrup should be
kept in every family where there are
children, and grown up people find 1t
most valuable medicine for coughs, colds,
hoarseness and throat and lung diseases
The pills are such standard remedy IN
some parts OF the country that a family
never thinks of doing without them.
Said an old gentleman in Eastern Mary
land, why have raised my family on
Sellers Pills. and consider them almost
AS essential to family as bread. In the
last thirty years they have saved me
enough In doctor bills. to pay for farm.

Gen. d. B. Anger, of Charlotte,
expressed, at the Russell House to-
day, says the Detroit Journal, the
opinion that the militia will not only
be able to rejuvenate their uniforms,
but that sufficient funds will be avail
able to make the holding of an en-
campment possible. IF, however, it
should be discovered" says the gen.
erl, "that the expense of properly un-
forming the men is greater than is
now contemplated, it would be better
to forego the encampment. If, how
ever, to do both, the encampment
should be held, as means Of stimu-
lating the companies in the interior
of the State to lively interest in
their organization. If | might act
wholly on my own judgment would
take the whole brigade to the centen-
NAL celebration at New York and
omit the encampment."

The two camps of F. w. Gilchrist
on the log railway Of Fletcher, Pack
Il Co., at Hubbard Lake, have finish.
ed their winters work at that place
Some of the men and teams are now
helping to clear the skids at Mathews
camp, and the balance have gone to
get ready for numbering the pine next
winter that is owned by Mr.. Gilchrist
in that section where the Hubbard
Lake log railway will be extended to
during the coming summer. 1t will
save the expense of moving the camp
outfit to the city and then back to the
woods next winter. At the two camps
named about 100000 feet of logs
were hauled to the railroad, and are
sure to come down the Lower South
Branch, as it is safe stream for driv-
ing logs.

A floral exhibition-the first one in
Michigan-is to be given at Detroit
April 2, 8, 4 and 5. Young ladies in
costume will be in attendance at the
booths. The entire net proceeds are
to divided among 81 charities. Ar
rangements have been made for ex-
cursions from all parts of the State to
Detroit. The exhibition originated
with w. III. Brearley, of the Det' oft
Journal, and that paper guarantees
the charities against loss.

Petitions were circulated last week
which were numerously signed, ask
ing the Legislature to repeal the law
in regard to taxing mortgages. The
law in question has proved an injury
to those who are compelled to borrow
money, instead of being benefit as
it was intended to be by the near
sighted men who passed it. For in.
stance borrower, in many cases, not
only has to pay 10 per cent. but he
also has to agree to pay all the taxes
imposed on the mortgage. The law is
also unconstitutional, because it taxes
the same piece of property twice.
There is strong feeling against it all
over the State.

as a supply can be obtained, there is
not much probability that other kinds
of wood will be used. Birch wood was

fibered pulp.

The Pioneer seems to feel agrieved
at the opinions expressed by the AR

at large in this city. We do not
know why it should feel so. The AR

right to do, that is, to express its opin-

fully relieve the mind of the Pioneer
of any doubts it may have on the SUBJ

In regard to the bill before the
Legislature for legalizing the issuing
of bonds by Briley township, the At
lanta Tribune says: GAS far as we
can ascertain. not a resident of Bri-
ley township knew anything about a
bill of that character. Much indig-
nation is felt by residents in this vi
entity" fsuch is the case, the bill
should not be passed until the people
of Briley township have presented
their testimony on the subject. We
do not believe in any Board, Council,
Legislature or Congress passing laws
that place burdens on the people with
out the knowledge and consent of a
majority of them.
