A thorough course of Ayers Sarsa-
parilla, the best of blood-purifiers
effectually puts an end to this annov-
ance. We recommend q trial.
On the 28th. Goth and 30th of this
month Port Huron people will exert
themselves in executing Kermiss.
We have mentioned the beauty of these
entertainments before; and we have no
doubt Port Huron will do justice to
their undertaking. They promise some
very interesting dances. Among these
are the Irish, Spanish and Greek figures.
They will also give gypsy dance and,
| far from the least interesting will be the
minuet: the social favorite of hun
dred years ago. We hope that some
people of our vicinity will make use
of this chance of seeing something ex-
cellent.
The editor of the Capac Journal has
devoted himself more to the proyerbial
journalistic style than to the study of
his Greek dictionary. We have no
doubt that even the serene countenance
of old AristophaneS would take on
an expression somewhat diabOlical If he
should see sentence of his shoveled
up together in that way and "hash"
made out of it. We do not say that
the sentence could not be translated by
| that word, but what we mean to say is
that it is collection of words which
was given as one word. Out of re-
spect for the Greek language we think
that all such reports should be corrected.

ner. We also notice that gravel has
been put on Main street. We regret
that there is not as much of this as
could be used to advantage on our
streets. Although as whole they are
not bad. There are many places that
decidedly need little assistance of just
this kind. We should suggest that per-
haps permanent arrangements might
be made with the f. & p. NJ manage
ment by which the street commissioner
could always secure gravel for street
| improvements.
Port Huron is feeling the thrill of
enterprise. evoked by the new tunnel,
already throughout itself. That trade
there will take decided advance over
anything the city has ever seen seems
beyond dispute. The city has even

Its only an advertisement" is very
often thrown out by person when he
is referred to the special inducement
of some merchant 1t is not so. There
are continually chances being offered
to merchants to buy cheaper than usual
in some particular line. And how are
they to let the public know of it except
through the papers as a medium of
advertising? Merchants must adver-
tise; and the people who do not heed
what they say do not find out where
the bargains are made. Moreover the
merchants mean what they say. 1t is
not all talk. They could not afford to
deceive the people so openly on whom
they depend entirely for their subsist-
ance. Their advertisements are but
the bulletin of their trade, to which
you must refer, to buy rightly.
In looking over the premium list
of the Brockway Centre District Ag'l
Society we find that the most liberal
inducements are made to all to take
part in the exhibition. About 500
dollars in cash is offered in premiums
alone. This does not include the sum
that will be put up on the races. We
should say that the management had
done all in their power to make the
fair success in this line which is by
far the most important. Now all that
remains is for the people of the town
to take hold and manifest an interest.
Begin to think what they can bring to
the fair. Men do not realize how much
it helps them as farmers, who contin-
ually have produce to sell, to bring out
some of 1T and force themselves before
the public. There is policy i'm this.
Such man is sure to find buyer at
any time. And then it rests with his
shrewdness alone to get good price.

depend, success.
A great many people have remarked
on the number of falling stars TO be
seen almost every clear night. Perhaps
these people, who have enough of the
poetic in their natures to admire the
skies and feel within themselves the
thrill of its greatness, would like to
know the astronomical truth in regard
TO these little balls of fire that seem to
dart to their own obstruction so gaily.
There are, about the sun, orbits that
are filled with these "stars" or, more
properly, meteors. These orbits are
not round, as the orbit of the earth is
commonly supposed to be. They are
elliptical. Now, the earth, in passing
around the sun in its orbit at regular
intervals. passes through these streets
of meteors, as we might say. One of
these periods is the last of August and
the first of September. So we are al
most in the midst Of this hail of
meteors at present. Moreover these
failing stars" are not the little spots
of fire they seem. There are in differ
ent museums specimens of these
meteors, some of which weighs as much
