Flower Show Excursions to
Detroit.


Special cheap excursions will be run
over all Michigan railroads.&c. Detroit
during floral and musical festival week
april %, 20, "a and 25). The particu-
lars of which can be learned from the
depot ticket agent. In order that
enough cars may be provided, the
agent should know as soon as possible,
who intend to go to Detroit. Under
the new law at any time on any r. r. +,
when ten persons wish to go to Detroit,
they can demand transportation at 2
cents per mile for the round trip, or, If
the party consists of SO or more, the
price will be II cents per mile, or
about one half fare. Tickets bought
in this way are good for five days, and
if the special excursions do not fully
accommodate those who desire to go
to Detroit, there is nothing to hinder
any so getting together and arranging
their own five day half fare rates for
themselves.

No. I. of Volume XII.

This caption tells the whole story.
For eleven years this AVALANCHE has
slid into your homes, laboring for the
interest of Crawling and this section of
the state, as it will continue to do.
We had expected to make an enlarge
ment of the paper at this time, but q
pressure of other business, and the
fact that so large a number of our
subscribers are carrying our money has
thus far prevented. 1t will be done
soon, and we ask all to pay up so that
we can have the cash for o new press
etc. With thanks to all for the gener-
Gus support of the past, we promise to
do all in our power to merit its con-
tinuance.

Shall we have it2 Now Is the time
for action and decision by our people.
This company was organized last year,
and il composed Of gentlemen who
are abundantIy able to push the mat
ter to speedy completion, 1t is shown
to them that there is a fair prospect OF
it's being a remunerative investment.
A preliminary survey has been
made from Kalkaska north and west,
and east to the branch Of the Mani
stee, opposite the terminus OF the log
ging road of Sailing. Hanson & Co.,
from Portage Lake to the river, which
road bed would probably be utilized If
the new road is built, as 8. II. s. Co.,
have offered to secure the right OF way
from the Manistee to this place.
A representative Of the road was
here last week interviewing our bust
ness men, and informed the AVAIL
ANcHR that he was greatly gratified by
the manner of his reception and the
generous reception of the scheme by
our citizens.
The advantages of this line to Gray
ling can hardly be enumerated in a
single article. Our lumber shipments
to Chicago and the west would be
shortened about three hundred miles
by the water way with less distance
by rail than at present, and the same
advantage would be ours in the bring
ing of freight from Chicago, Grand
Rapids and other western points. The
time from here to Chicago by rail
would be shortened several hours and
the expense correspondingly lessened.
1t would place us in direct communi-
cation with the great fruit belt of
western Michigan, and we would be
no longer obliged to receive the stale
fruits now brought from the south.
We are not advised what action is
needed on the part of our citizens to
secure this enterprise, but trust every
one will be ready, when the time comes,
to act promptly and wisely, for it is an
investment that will return many fold.

The members of the NJ T.. church
wish to express their thanks to the
people of Grayling for their generous
contributions; and patronage at our
Fair. Also to Mrs. and Mr.. Ashmore,
who conducted the Grand March so
successfully, and to the young people
who so kindly assisted. The credit
for the success of the Fair was largely
due to the untiring efforts of Miss
Bessie Nicholson qnd her Mother.
We also express our appreciation to
Glass No. 8, for the ten dollars re-
ceived from their pleasing entertain
ment. The total receipts from the
Fair was $336.72. Entire expense

An Ingenious Device.

Mr.. N. ii. Traver, of Detroit, who
recently invented and patented an
automatic carpet reel for han Hing
carpets in the retail trade whereby
four-fifths of the hard work and the
necessary untidy condition of the
room are entirely obviated, has associa-
ted with him Mr.. G.. b. Virgins, of
this city, for the manufacture and sale
of same. At present the work will be
carried on at Detroit, but as soon as
some local enterprising firms will put
in the machinery necessary it will be
done here.
AS this is the only. machine for this
work that has ever been worth patent
ing. though many devices have been
tried, and as they have taken patents
for all the foreign countries. it would
be n valuable addition to the Saginaw
industries. Sag. Courier.

Potts is never without something to
stir its blood. Last Sunday evening
Rev. Richard Shorter occupied the

a full house. Some of the natives

healed by simply touching the hem of

but. Jim being pulled down, he con-
tinued the discourse. The next thing
that attracted Jim's attention was the
story of Christ giving the blind man
sight. He didn't believe that either,
so he got up and said SO. The sermon
was continued and finally MFR. Shorter
told the story of bringing the dead to
life and again James demonstrated
with him. Meanwhile some of the
others present were getting tired of
the continued Interruptions and when
James entered his protest for the third
time staiwart woodsman strobe
across the floor. seized James, smashed
him down on the floor and then drag
ged him ont. Some of those present
rushed out to see the thing through
while others stayed within and sung

THE ART AMATEUR for April gives
evidence, in abundance, of the liberal
policy which characterizes its manage
ment. The proprietor evidently is de-
termined to maintain its petition as
the first authority in this country in
art matters and spares no expense to
attain that end. Its beautiful typog
raphy, the number and excellence of
its illustrations, and the practical arti-
cles it contains each month make it a
delight 10 every person of taste and
invaluable to the amateur worker in
art. Water-color, oil and china paint
ing, brass-hammering, wood-carying,
pen-drawing, for notwithstanding.
crayon and charcoal drawing, and art
.needle-work are taught in it in the
moss lucid manner, illustrated with
designs both in color and black-and-
white. Certainly no woman who
wants to make her house beautiful by
artistic decoration and arrangement
can afford to do without it. Indeed,
all interested in art, whether as learn
ers or connoiSseurs, will find some
thing in The Art Amateur suited to
their needs. Ia the present number a
new series of illustrated articles en-
titled Art at Home" by the Rev. w.
+. Loftie is begun and will run through
the year. The two color plates which
accompany every number, and are
worth much more than the price of
