At the Church of Christ there will be

Port Huron, will speak. In the after

We are in receipt of an announce
ment from the Detroit Journal OF the
completion of its seventh year. we
are sure no paper in Detroit deserves
better a grand success. And, moreov-
er, none seems to be nearer 1t. The
Journal is what it claims for itself, a
clean, home-paper.
You might as well borrow your neigh
boris old shoes, as to depend on him for
your newspaper. BY the time you get
it, it is "down at the heel and "out at
the toe"-in fact all out of date. You
don't feel like an independent man
when you read it. You can't say "my
paper" So be man and have a paper
of your own.
We should like to know by whose
authority garbage has been dumped
along the highway and left there to
putrify. Such an arrangement is a
disgrace to village community, as
well as one of the greatest sources OF
disease. We trust that there Will be
no more of this, even if it is impossible
to remedy the evil as it now is.
Josh Hedges, of Melvin, who was
implicated in the shooting there last
spring, and who voluntarily returned
home last week, was arrested Monday
evening by Deputy Sheriff Geo. Hard
ing of Peck. Hedges was taken to the
county jail at Sanilac Centre Tuesday
morning. there to await his trial. His
elimination is selling liquor without
license.
G. s. Northup, of Port Huron, was
in town Saturday. We understand
that Mr. Northup would accept the
democratic nomination for Prosecut-
ing Attorney. If the party should
choose him they will have a strong
man. He is brilliant young lawyer
and no doubt would have just the sand
and energy to sustain nobly the dignity
of the county.
The low place near the depot is being
filed with gravel supplied by the rail
road company. The town has under
taken to unload it with the understand
ing it receive q load of gravel TO be
used on the village highways for each
one it unloads. This is surely an eX-
cellent way of getting gravel to i'm
prove our streets and we hope that it
will be used wisely
Someone. seeking to avenge them
selves Unfortunately on the canine
tribe, poisoned whole community of
dogs here last week. Sam White, Jerry
Paisley and John Black all are bewail-
ing lost pOOdleS. 1t should be impress
ed upon these people that dogs. under
ordinary circumstances, are personal
property the same as any other animal
AS such they should be protected.
Tuesday morning when the Maccabee
excursion passed through Yale for Bay
City, little circle of faithful Bees"
who had arisen early enough to catch
this early bee. were waiting there to
acquit themselves of the grand oppor-
tunity. Among them were f. Il. Law
and wife. Ed. Menerey, Chas. Williams.
Z. F. Pratt, Kittie Hayes. George Ella
and wife. and our EDITOR. Mr.. Law
was delegate from this tent Nearly
all returned on the night train. All
report fine time.
The most handsome sight in all the
skies during these nights is the plan
ct Venus, to be seen every clear eve-
ming just after sunset q little to the
right and about thirty degrees above
the point where the sun disappears. It
is now called the evening star. This
planet revOlveS around the sun at an
average distance of 69,000,000 miles
and is next but one of the known plan
cts to the sun. and is next TO the earth
which is about 100000, miles from
the sun. Its year is 224.7 days long:
that is it is that long in revolving
around the sun, as compared with cur
3654 days for a year. 1t is not as large
as the earth. It's diameter is 1900
miles while that of the earth is about
10000.
There is nothing that better bespeaks
a true life in town than live build
ing interest. We are pleased to notice
how many nice houses are making their
appearance in town. w. r. Gillett's
new house has taken oil quite an ur-
ban appearance. VIM. n. McKenna's
house is aglow with new coat of paint.
i. ii. Drake will soon have his cot
tage entirely established at the head
vi OnC SOlttb, dllu II. Il. DedTu has
practically new house and moreover
one that he can rightly be proud of.
"A. w. Ferguson will soon be established
in new and beautiful home; and Rev.
Ira Billman will soon have his house
remodeled to suit his taste. Such great
improvements surely are encouraging
TO us as a community.
Yesterday forenoon we were invited
to witness one Of the most successful
surgical operations that has come
under our observation for some time.
The operation was performed by DIR.
High at the Scandinavian House and
the subject was Frank Johnson. a
Swede. 28 years old. Johnson has been
suffering for about five months with
empyema, whereby pus forms in
large quantities between the lungs and
the chest wall. The only way that re-
lief can be obtained is by making an
opening in the side and the removal of
a piece Of one or more ribs. The pus
is removed through this opening and
the interior kept pure until cure is
effected. DIR. High was assisted by DIR.
Corner. of Big Rapids. The operation
was witnessed by a physician from
Manton, Louis Finn and M. A. Beebe
Those conversant with the case speak
in very high terms of the oDeration
