Barney McKernan. who did the shoot
ing in Brown City last week, has been
bound over to the circuit court on a
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit great bodily harm less than muir
der" Ross condition remains critical.
While Brook Bearss and Joe Effrick
were driving III the town Thursday
their horse became unmanagable and
started for genuine runaway. Brook
Bearss escaped without serious injury,
but Joe Effrick was hurt quite badly.
The horse also was seriously hurt.
Much injury is done by the use of ir-
ritating, gripping compounds taken as
purgatives. In Ayers Pills, the patent
medicine has mild but effective ca
thartic, that can be confidently re-
commended alike for the most delicate
patients as well as the most robust.
Mrs. John Steenburg caught an al
bilo specimen of the English sparrow
a few days ago. This is peculiar freak
of very infrequent occurrence. 1t is
caused by a total lack of cOloring mat
ter in the birds Skin. Miss Jennie
! Palmer now owns the bird and will
have it set up.
One of the most practical contri-
vanceS that we have seen, of the many
inventions brought out of late, is ma
chine for cutting aXles so as to do away
with the wabble of the wheels and the
continued application of washers. Phil
McDougall has the agency for this
county and will be pleased to show the
machine to you.
We can't be too thankful for the
comparatively comfortable days and
cool nights, that have been given us
during the past week. Days that, with
few exceptions, are not too hot for
work; and nights, that may seem too
glorious for sleep, still that do enwrap
the body and steal away ali conscious
nes not to restore it until brought
back by the waking sun.
The Grace church at Port Huron
promises n kermiSs sometime during
the latter part of August. This is one
ments imaginable; and the people of
Yale. who take any pleasure in the
beautiful. should take advantage of
the opportunity. The great labor and
expense of such an enterprise will be
beyond the reach of Yale for some
time to come.
This is just the season when harvest
ers are busy all about us. Two or three
loads of flax workers are brought into
town each evening; and we hear the
threShers' whistle just often enough 90
remind us of their proximity In
wheat the yield is not as great as was
anticipated. Flax also will not afford
good crop. Mr.. Mccall says that al
though he sowed nearly twice as much
as last year he will hardly have rs much
stock at last year.
One of the best equipped hotels in
all its appointments IN any of the towns
around here, is the National Hotel, of
Peck. Mr.. Robinson, the enterprising
proprietor. has entertained over forty
guests within the last two weeks lie
has the best local and all transcient pat
ronage. It is by all means the place to
go when in Peck. You will take away
good opinion of Peck if you do He
will fill your stomach with Peck S choic-
est and make you happy.
George r. Malone, an orator who is
well known in the state for his elo-
quence, addressed the people of Brock
way last evening on his favorite sub
ject prohibition and Labor Reform"
He will speak this evening in the NJ. +.
church of this place upon the same
subject. j. ;. West, very estimable
singer, will add to the pleasure of the
evening. The subject of this lecture is
one that is perhaps the most important
before the American public. 1t should
insure good house.
We notice in some Croswell notes
that the generous people of that town
have contributed towards buying a set
of medals for the team that can defeat
them during their fair. Although this
seems to be limited to their county, we
have no doubt they would welcome a
good team from whatever quarter. 1t
has been suggested by some that Yale
make another trial at baseball. Why
would it not be good idea? We have
the material; but some have feared that
we have not the spare time necessary
for practice. But there is an hour or
more from six on, which. we think.
would be available to all, and that
would make in our team a vast inn
provement,
The big fairs of the State have made
a circuit this year quite similar to the
circuit made by the various racing
associations. The Detroit Exposition
leads August 70 to september D.; the
Michigan State Fair at Lansing. Sep
tember to ~: Port Huron Fair. Ex-
position and Races, September 10 to 10,
followed by the Northeastern at Sagi-
nav. September % TO 26. Following
these will come the county and district
fairs This arrangement will aid ma
terially in securing better exhibits. en-
abling exhibitors to cover q wider
range of country and reach probably
100000 people. Then, too. all the
above exhibitions will have racing at
fractions, and this means better horses
and more of them.
So far as we have been able to ascer-
tain. this county and one or two others
in the immediate vicinity are the most
favored in the state in all crop returns.
Lapeer reports the best wheat Weld for
many years. And in general this sec
ton has had such an abundance of rain
as to insure excellent returns. Hay is
a good crop. Barley, though good. is
injured somewhat by rain. Corn and
potatoes are good. But in all direc-
tions from us crops have suffered al
