lie wished people to walk straight
when they pass his house and not to
stagger as if they were drunk. lie has

other improvements are "too numer-
Gus to mention"
A week from next Thursday evening
the young people of the village will
participate in a pleasant little enter
tainment. 1t will be ultimately for the
benefit of Elder Tickner financially.
However it is intended to be made
most interesting and worth the patron
age of the community.
We can not refrain from congratulate
ing our street commissioner. Don Nc
Arthur, on the substantial and thor
Oughly practical manner in which he is
repairing our streets. Too often public
work finds its only reward in the sour
looks of disgruntled public. We but
do our duty in publicly thanking Mr..
Macarthur.
For few evenings lately our village
has been favored with some poor music
gratis and much worthless medicine
not so gratis. Many people have foolishly
surrendered themselves to this unknown
man who works "free of charge" We
would urge that this very nice work he
makes profession of is not such as can
be done by anybody.
Port Huron people dislike very much
to entertain the idea of possible tun-
mel at Detroit; but, however that may
| be, they can assure themselves that
Detroit capitalists will not see very
much business leave Detroit for want
of a passage across the river. a bridge
or tunnel is sure to follow. impossible
tiles not being overlooked.
William Williams is an energetic
farmer. lie has just made 1l6 rods of
stump fence on his farm near the viii
lage Sam. and Ed. Holcomb were his
right hand men i'll the job. He now
has 100 acres clear of stumps. 1t re-
quires but few such farmers as Mr..
Williams to make this district one of
the richest gardens in the state.
Lynn Peck, our new principal of
schools. has just moved his family 70
this village. He will occupy the house
just vacated by Harvey Drake. We
heartily welcome Mr.. Peck to our viii
| lage, and wish him a grand success in
his new change. In the position he
holds in our community he will exert
an influence almost immeasurable.
The cool weather that has been
blown down upon us for the past week
has been Il most injurious change.
Many are complaining of severe colds;
although we have not heard yet of any
serious sickness Immediately resulting
from it. Still it is surely something
uncommon for August. which is sup
posed to be about the hottest month.
The Michigan Farmer in its House
hold supplement, had very good arti-
Gle on Secretary Laws report, which
was published in our issue of the 10Th.
1t is also noticed editorially. 1t must
be thoroughly gratifying to Mr.. Law
to see in what a cordial manner his
thorough reforms are received by all
who have the interests of the common
schools at heart.
1t seems that it is becoming custom
ary for every "bum" to celebrate his
tear" by breaking up property of one
sort or another. Wednesday night the
building formerly occupied by VIM.
Barrett was attacked; and Dr. Clyne S
new Office was not spared. We would
suggest to these people that this is be-
coming rather monotOnous and an end
will be found ere very long.
Frank fuckers Metropolitan Com
edY Company produced the well known
comedy, "Uncle Joshua Whitcombe,
at the Opera House last evening to a
delightful audience. Frank Tucker, as
Uncle Josh, the New England farmer,
scored a success, as did Miss Nellie
Thompson as Tot, the street sweeper
The other characters in the cast were
well portrayed.-Pt. Huron Times.
Perhaps it were well to say that as
far as we are able to find out there has
been no one in the town of Yale by
the name of Joseph Squire. We in
serted a clipping from the st. Clair
Republican in our last issue, hoping
that the enterprise of the ST. Clair Re
publican would put the inbred sloth OF
our village to shame. But all in vain,
No such a man was ever known here.
The Sunday Commercial. of Port
Huron, has ventured to publish an
editorial complaining of the poor con-
dition of docks at that place. We
would suggest that the papers Of that
estimable city show little "sand" and
set forth the disgraceful condition OF
the city's walks, streets, school-build
ings; and. in fact everything that is
left to the cupidity OF their city officials
to manage.
A very pleasant evening was spent
at the house of w. II. Harris in Brock
way last Wednesday evening. The
!, occasion was social for the benefit oi
Rev. j. j. Tickner. 1t was complete
success financially and socially. S3.

salary in full for the past year. A very
handsome bouquet of flowers was pre-
sented by Mrs. w. III. Gowan which
was mighty appreciated.
