YALE County. Mch- FRIDAY, JUNE

by lightning.
Yale boasts of several good hotels,
and the American House, under the
management of ID. Mclean, ranks with
the best. The genial landlord has
every accommodation for the travelling
public, and deserves the large trade he
enjoys.
TO celebrate or not to celebrate, that's
the question. Whether 'tis better to
let the eagle scream in Yale on the
Fourth, or let our people go elsewhere
to shoot off fire-crackers and spend
their shekels. Now is the time to de-
eide the question.
At special meeting of the village
council last Thursday evening Casson
b, StOnehouse was appointed marshal
to fill the vacancy caused by the reSig-
nation of 5. l.. Blakely. We have no
doubt but that Mr.. StOnehouse will fill
the position to the satisfaction of all.
We were presented last Saturday
with large bunch of as fine wineplant
as we have ever seen. 1t was grown
by our friend Geo. w. Elston, of Speak
er, and we can testify to its superior
qualities. He also brought us hand
some bouquet of lilacs for both of
which favors we return many thanks.
Chas. Presley, Geo. Allen, Will Foster.
Bert Jardine and Fred Palmer celebrat-
ed Decoration Day at Lexington. With
the exception of muddy roads. rainy
weather, broken carriage, several
articles stolen, getting home at 3 a. m.
in wet and muddy condition, and
numerous other tritles, they report a
first-class time.
The Yale and Peck base ball clubs
have arranged series of three games
for $40 side for each game. Both
teams claim the championship of this
vicinity, and so have adopted the above
way of deciding the matter. The first
game will be played at Peck next Sat
urday, the second at Yale a week from
Saturday. and the place for the third
battle will be fixed later.
Jas. Wallace and his men, Charles
Presley and Leslie eSilverthorn, are kept
steadily at work these days turning out
the harness for which Mr. Wallace is
becoming noted. A fine double harness
has just been completed for DR.. Ney
and work is being pushed on one for
Geo. Y. Reid. liyeryman, and single
harness for Benz. Evans. The shop
also contains many other orders. Jim
is doing well and we like to see him
prosper.
On Monday Sheriff Alexander went
! to Yale in search of Thomas IIebner,
of Speaker township. Thomas was
charged rs being guilty of resisting an
officer some time ago. The sheriff
found his man and brought him to
Croswell the following day. His exam
ination was conducted before Justice
Jones yesterday and resulted i'll hold
! ing the prisoner over for trial at the
circuit court on $500 bonds.-CrOs-
well Democrat.
John Phillips, of Sanilac Co.. and
| David Brown, of Yale, discovered a
nest of nine young squirrels in a hollow
rail near Peck last Wednesday and de-
cided to capture them and make pets
of the little rodents. They plugged up
the end of the rail intending on their
return to take the little animals to
Peck, but on getting back they found
the plug removed and the squirrels gone.
The old squirrel had removed her fam
lily to safer quarters.
The repairs and addition to the +. q
Il. NJ. depot in this village have been
completed, and Yale now has one of
the finest depots along the line The
telegraph and ticket Office has been
moved into department fitted up for
that purpose in the center of the build
ing, and the waiting room has been
considerably enlarged, an improve
ment that has been badly needed for
some time. The business done at this
point necessitated these changes.
IF you are kicker and see the
shadow of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town." says an
exchange, "for heavens sake go into
some secluded canyon and kick your
shadow, or the clay banks. and thus
| give the men who are working hard to
build up the town a chance. One long
faced, hOllow-eyed, whining, carping,
chronic kicker can do more to keep
business and capital from town than
all the droughts, short crops, chineh
bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined.
The following good words we clip
from the st. Ignace Republican of May
Bird in reference to the marriage OF
James A. brennan, notice of which
event we published in the ExPoSIToR:-

this. their future home, on the 2Sth

of the bridegroom. They will occupy
