The Use of Coffee.

1t is asserted by men of high profess
sional ability that when the system
needs stimulant nothing equals a cup
of fresh coffee. Those who desire to
rescue the drunkard from his cup will
find no better substitute for spirits
than strong, new-made coffee, without
milk or sugar. Two ounces of coffee,
or one-eighth of pound, to one pint of
boiling water makes first-class bever-
age, but the water must be boiling, not
merely hot. Bitterness comes from
boiling it too long. If the coffee re-
CURED for breakfast be put in a granite
lied kettle over night and a pint of
cold water poured over. it can be heat
ed to the boiling point and then set
back to prevent further ebulition. when
it will be found that, while its strength
is extracted, its delicate aroma is pre-
served. As our country consumes
nearly ten pounds of COTE per capita it
is pity not to have it made in the best
manner. 1t is asserted by those who
have tried it that malaria and epidem-
les are avoided by those who drink a
cup of hot coffee before venturing into
the morning air. Burned on hot Goals
it is disinfectant for sick-room. By
some of our best physicians it is con-
sidered specific in typhoid fever

Look 70 Your Land Deeds.

OJoshua Thompson, residing on section 20,
of this township, called at this Office and
said he had been to Lansing to make iuQuir-
les about the land he occupied, which with
one forty of Perry ST. Clair's and that OF
others, it is claimed belonged to the state.
His father Mr. Geo. Thompson, pre-empt-
ed and moved onto the land % years ago,
and on May I'd, 1870 received from the u.
S. government through the land Office then
located at Ionia, deed for the same, which
was known as ''swamp land" 1t now APP
pears that the u. S. government had no
right to sell this land as it had by an act of
Congress, in 1850 and 1855, granted all the
swamp land in Michigan to the state govern
ment. Mr.. Thompson was informed at Lam
sing that he and all other persons holding
their land by such deed must re-purchase
of the state, and that as soon as they receiv-
ed their patent from the United States each
occupant of the land would be given first
chance to redeem the land at S1.25 per acre
which must be paid to the state or the land
would be sold at auction to the highest bid
der. We learn that there are five ferties in
section 20 and many farms in this township
and county held under the same deeds, and
in fact the state authorities say that about
the same ratio exists all over the state, and
we advise all farmers to look to their deeds
and have it right. Register Union.

Morrice Sentinel:-Frank Clark was ar
rested Sunday night by Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Little, at the instance of Jesse Turner, and
lodged in the county jail, on charge of seduc-
ing Turner's daughter Vinie. Although
Turner was prepared to act as witness, and
although Clark does not seem to have deni-
ed the truth of the charge, he was released,
upon what grounds we are unable to say, on
the condition that he leave the country at
once, which he did. Clark is widower of
above 80 years, with three children, while
the girl is only about la mere school
child. The respectable portion of the COM
munity justly feel very indignant toward
Clark, and deeply regret that he was not
compelled to face heavy sentence. There
are far too many of this class of libertines
preying upon society, and they should be
made to suffer severe penalties.
1t has been frequently reported by Mr.
Turner that he gave his daughter very Sc
we're whipping Sunday night, and it is cur
rently reported that as result of such whip
ping, she is still confined to her bed, and
that grave fears have been entertained by
her relatives as to her recovery. This has
caused general indignation toward Turner
for such cruelty, and his lack of regard for
the reputation of his daughter throughout
the entire case, has not elicted the most ia
vorable comments imaginable.
Chesaning Argus.-Miss Matte Haugh-
ton, of New Haven, whose school closed
July 5, gave literary entertainment at the
East0n school house, New Haven, last
Monday night. The room was filed to its
utmost capacity and the exercises COM
plete success. Mr.. Kinney and daughter
furnished the fine music that added much to
the occasion. The exercises consisted of es-
says, recitatiOns, dialogues, charades, tab
leaux and songs, some of them being origi-
nal. Many pronounced II the best district
school entertainment they ever attended.
Miss HaughtOn is an excellent teacher and
with her educational advantages and cul-
ture in literature Is well adapted to execute
literary exercises. Would'that every young
lady would apply herself to the higher
studies.

WARREN WOODWARD. owosso. MICH

A working woman said she
would walk ten miles to get
the Ball corset, if she couldn't
get it without. She had had
experience with it.
That corset is just as easy
the minute you put it on as
it is when half worn out.
You can go to your store
and get it and wear it two or
three weeks, and then you
will know what comfort is in
a corset. If you are disap-
pointed in it in any way, go
back to the store and get
your money within three
weeks or so-you'll get it.
The maker pays the merchant
to do that.

The value of the instruction received AT
these institutes is being very generally rec
ognized by teachers and school officers. AS
rule it has been the experience of County
Examiners and other examining officers,
that the most successful teachers are those
who have availed themselves of the normal
instruction offered by these local Institutes.
The daily sessions of the Institute for this
year will as heretofore, be devoted exclusive
ly to topics of special interest to teachers,
presented by persons of extended practical
experience as teachers, and who have made
a special study of Institute work. The
evening lectures will be of a popular charac-
ter.
The institute law allows teachers, whose
schools are in session at the time appointed
for the County Institute, held under the
direction of the State Superintendent, to
close their schools during the continuance of
such Institute without FORGETTING their wages
for as many half days as they are in attend
ance at the Institute. The provision of law
and the fact that there will be no enrolment
or no tuition fee eXacted, should insure the
attendance of every teacher in the county
who possesses the true professional spirit.

may be obtained upon application to the To-
cal committee.

A LONG AND HONORABLE CAREER.

in trade in town who were here at that

whose names are on their first ledger
more than five hundred are not living in
this vicinity. The firm speak in the
highest terms of their customers. They
think no concern ever had more loyal
band. Quite number have traded with
them from the first, and in many cases
"where were the fathers now are the
sons. Occasionally, they say, one has
been enticed away by cunningly-wOrded
advertisements, but nearly all these have
soon seen the error of their ways and have
returned to their first love. The firm are
not given to Boosting, but they say that
if it is true that a front seat is reserved
for the man who makes one blade of
grass grow where but one grew before,
they should be invited into the same pew /;
for although they have done little in the
agricultural line. they have, by selling
goods at extremely low prices, made 1t
possible for the fellow who gathered the
fodder to enjoy as many of the good
things of this earth as he could have
done with double crop under ordinary
circumstances.

day of next week, and promises to be
an event of more than usual importance
to sheep-breeders. Mr.. Salmon, the chief

department of agriculture at Washing
ton, will be present, and breeders should
do their best to make good showing, as
probably all Of them will be aided di-
recty or indirectly by so doing. The
sheep owned by Messrs. Bissell & Wright,
some sixty in number, and intended for
the Australian trade, will be shorn, and
there will probably be more sheep shorn
for record this year than for several
years previous. All members in good
standing have been notified by the secre-
tary as to the amount due from each, and
we wish to call attention further to the
fact and urge that the payments he
prompt, as there are numerous bills to be
settled after the shearing and the funds
due from members will be needed.
