John A. Vannest we'll known and
highly esteemed merchant of Brown
City, Mich, after severe struggle with
advere circumstances over which he
had no control, at last yielded to what
seemed inevitable, and made an as
signment for the benefit of his creditors
to Jas Brown, Of Yale, who immedi-
ately filed his bonds and necessary pa.
pers and accepted the trust, taking
possession of goods and premises.
One of the largest creditors, however.
being advised foolishly by brainless
lawyer. of Port Huron, mad the sheriff
break into the premises on Saturday
night and take forcible possession, and
with the aid of a crazy clerk of the firm
in Port Huron held possession until
Monday evening, when better counsel
advised them to vacate the premises,
leaving Mr.. Brown in quiet possession.
Mr.. Vannest hes the sympathy of the
entire community, and more especially
as within few years he had the mis-
fortune to be burned out, losing at least
$1,000, leaving him almost penniless to
begin life anew.

and viewing of presents, the happy pair
