The Mennonite tent has been remov-

has since been locked up temporarily
at the county iail.-St. Clair Republican
Railroad commissioner Rich has been
to Fargo to look after railroad matters
in that village. The villagers there
who subscribed for the road when it
was first put through do not speak well
of the idea of being put off with plug
road.
| In the drawing over the FIVE smoker s
sets at T.. y. Wells drug store, the fol-
lowing men proved the lucky ones:
Jas. Hisey, G.. +. Emery, Will Salter,
Harvey Drake and j. A. Menzies. AL
seemed thoroughly pleased with their
prizes.
The street commissioner has been
treating some of our streets to re-
pairing. Jones street has been raised
and put in a very acceptable condition
and on Main street the walks have been
repaired so as to be more comfortable
to pedestrians.
The reason that Barnum's show
trains did not pass through until so
late Friday morning was that the en-
gines of the first two trains ran off the
track at Marlette. The third was bare
ly tagged In time to prevent like
accident to it.
Friday morning as Barnum's show
train was passing through, some of the
boys amused themselves by climbing up
the side of the car and taking peep at
the animals. 1t afforded an opportun-
ity also for the show hands to shy
stones at them.
James Hisey and family have been
visiting in Detroit the past week. Mr..
I1isey also interviewed DR.. McGraw of
that city. He was informed by the doc
tor that he could not be cured of his
rheumatism by medicine. a dryer eli
mate will be the only possible relief.
II. II. Menerey has laid the founda-
tions for new house on Mechanic
street. We have no doubt this street,
situated so favorably as it is, with the
schoOl-house showing up so pleasing as
it does at its head, will in the end prove
the most elegant street in the village.
Next Monday the trial of Shehee VS..
Myer will take place in this village. If
the case goes against Myer it may go
hard with him. His examination was
mentioned i'll our last issue. Myer and
Shehee INDUCED in little racket over
in Emmett and Myer chewed off She
hee's ear.
Sarah brennan, of Sanilac Centre, left
for st. Ignace last Monday. On her
return she will go to Detroit to attend
the exposition. She will be met there
by her father, John brennan, of Lynn.
During her absence her two sisters and
Minnie Dawson will take charge of her
millinery store at Sanilac Centre.
We surely ought not to have the bad
opinion of dog-days which has become
so proverbial We could not ask for
more comfortable weather than that
which we have been given TO enjoy for
week or two past, right in the midst
of August when we generally are in
the habit of complaining over "hot
weather."
DIR. Clyne has at length, laid the
foundation for his new office on Main
street. He has made abundant prepa-
rations so as to be able to receive any
of his young lady friends, in however
great numbers they may wish to come.
He always welcomes them. The only
objection he finds is that when he is
waited upon by such large number at
once he can not in justice to himself
"see them all home"
Andrew Award has completed the
mason work on Harvey brakes house
Although not protesting to be adopts
in that line we are nevertheless COM
PEELED to say, after having inspected it.,
that it is surely fine piece of work
1t is to be regretted that a man who
does his work so well should not be bet
ter known than he is in the surround
ing country Mr. Award is accommo-
dating and sure to please.
There are some people that are such
chronic complainers that they can not
pass an opportunity to display them
selves. Even crop which is paying
our community as well as flax is a
victim of these people. Some say that
faX eXhausts the land. To be sure it
does; and so does every crop more or
less. But if one eXhausts the soil
little more than another it merely
means that more fertilizer should be
used. We urge our people not to be
alarmed about these reports. But if it
pays to raise flax raise it, but be wise
in it and make allowance in your seed
ing.
We notice an assertion in the Michi-
gan Farmer to the effect that within
the borders of the United States can
be found locations especially adapted
to the production of every grade of
woolYaluable to the manufacturer. This
assertion is none too broad. Wool
interests should be made of vital i'm
port in both production and trade. In
our community, where the producer
has every opportunity for raising and
disposing of his product in ready
market, every opportunity should be
taken to advance these interests. 1t is
only by taking advantage of such
chances Of success that town grows.
a Canadian paper advanced the idea
that the cold wet weather at the time
of the blossoming is the cause for the
complete failure of the apple crop.
There is nothing striking about this
except the manner in which it suggests
that the injury was done. 1t thinks
that the wet weather prohibited the bees
from working and so from scattering
the pollen from flower to flowers. TO
us this seems very plausible. But it is
not the whole truth as the dampness
would of itself keep the light dust or
pollen from dissipating through the
air. However it is an accepted fact
that bees have a great duty to preform
