George Wallace, of New York, and

moreover are confident that such an
enterprise would meet with hearty
support anda great success.
w. ii. Palmer had steam in his mill
the first time last Thursday since its
renovation. The whistle was little
hoarse on the first trial, but after lit
tie effort it spoke out as promptly as
ever. 1t seemed really nice to hear the
mill putting so near us. It's business.
We notice that the Marlette Leader
has just passed the twelfth stage in its
| long Journey, as we trust. The paper
is bright and clean and one that we
feel confident has many similar stages
to pass, by which it will undoubtedly de-
file in continually improving progress

it there until you have attended Mich
aels' Fair Ball, which is to come off on
the evening of October |, the second

Last Thursday evening a few of the
young people of the village assembled
in Michaels' elegant Hall and enjoyed
very pleasant evening in dancing.
Owing to the haste with which it was
COTTON up the attendance was necessar-
lily small. Yet we think that all who
attended had an elegant time. We are
promised another dance soon, got up on
a larger scale, in which the young peo-
pie will try to outdo themselves.

1t is very foolish for man to think
that because every pretty girl looks in
at his by plate glass window she is
looking at the handsome gentleman be-
hind it, as may be proven conclusively
by the testimony of witnesses in this
town. We are informed that these
windows are very highly appreciated by
the weaker sex as full-length mirrors.
Therefore let any gentleman that may
be priding himself on the excellent
frame he is about to put about "hiS pie
ture," prune his pride ere it lead him to
some sad mistake.

Albert Neal the enterprising proprie-
tor of the Yale Brick Yard, promises
that next year he will be able to supply
the farmers with tile. This is an enter
prise which has not had time as yet to
awake in this locality. However all
who are acquainted with this soil
know that there is nothing that is need
