What might have terminated in a
disastrous fire occurred on Saturday
last at the barn on Mrs. $. J. Welch's
place in the village. The barn contains
u quantity of baled straw, II. b. Tuck
ers' hearse and team of horses. Charlie,
a young son of VIM. Blackboard, was
playing around the barn with matches
and set the fire. Fortunately Cas-
son Stonehouse and George Allen,
who were at the foundry, saw the
smoke arising and Immediately put
the fire out. Three minutes more and
the barn and contents would have been
one mass of flames. The little lad was
reprimanded for this act and promised
that he would not attempt such thing
again.
The Marlette Normal closed on
Wednesday after very successful
session of five weeks. The attendance
was not as large as had been expected,
but the work done has been of the very
best. \ more studious lot of teachers
has never been gathered together, and
they quit Marrlette leaving feeling
behind that they were perfect ladies and
gentlemen. On the other hand, we
think the students were highly pleased
with the treatment received here. and
carry with them pleasant remembran-
ces of our people. The instructors are
entitled to the highest praise for the
work. and all are unanimous in saying
that they were the best that ever had
charge of Sanilac county Nor
NAL. Those of the students who live
in the county went to Sanilac Centre
yesterday to attend the examination,
and have probably seen ere this the ad-
vantages of good course of study
during the Summer vacation. Here's
hoping that all of them may receive
certificates and become successful
eachers.-Marlette Leader.
There are, unfortunately, some peo-
pie in Yale who seem to think that in
order to get good goods they must
needs walk past the doors of the home
merchants and 60 to Port Huron or
some other large city to purchase the
articles of which they stand in need.
Such policy is neither patriotic nor
profitable. and should be discountenan-
ced by every inhabitant Of Yale. We
venture to assert that the local mer-
chants keep in stock just rs good
goods as can be found in Port Huron,
and more than that, their prices are
Just as reasonable. Another thing
every penny taken out Of this village
and spent in Port Huron represents Sc
much loss to Yale and gain to the syl
van city. 1t is high time that certain
class of our citizens should disabuse
their minds Of the mistaken idea that
there is nothing that is good in oul
village, and turn in and use every pos
sible means to further the interests Of
the place in which they live. Unit
they do this, the prosperity and pro
gress will be retarded to a certain ex
tent. Again, the prosperity of town
is not guaged by the wealth of its in
habitants, but by the uniformity will
which they pull together when any i'm
portant undertaking Is to be accom-
plished. a man with thousand dol
lars at his command and love o.
town in his heart can do more towards
building and improving it than the
millionaire who locks up his capita
and snaps his finger at home progress
