There are two reasons why some peo-
pie don't mind their own business. One
is, that they haven't any mind, the other
that they haven't any business.

The dullest Saturday experienced by
our merchants for some time was Sat

ed the farmers from coming to the vii
lage to do their customary trading.
"He tests at scars, who never felt a
wound" and he can afford to laugh at
the horrors of rheumatism, who never
! had touch of its quality. But it
seems the time has come for univer-
sal laugh since it is known that Saliva
tion Oil cures pain of all possible kinds.

Printers oft say pointed things, as
witness the following: Whenever a
fellow" forsakes the avocation of
hod carrier and attempts to run news
paper, his first business is to attack his
contemporaries, and in filthy mess of
sush try to pass himself off upon the
public as a veteran with the pencil.
Next to the individual who steals his
reading is the man who sponges the
reading of the local paper. Too stingy
to subscribe and afraid to steal. he inn
poses on the good nature of his neigh
bors, and begs or borrows papers which
he frequently forgets to return. These
people may have been placed on the
earth for some purpose known only to
an all-wise Providence.
Fred Young, Richmond merchant,
stopped at the Pacific house for few
days last week and skipped out with
out paying his board bill. A warrant
was sworn out for his arrest and on
Thursday Sheriff Mann succeeded in
arresting him in Yale. This morning
he was arraigned before Justice Well
man and convicted. lie will receive
his sentence later-Port Huron Daily
1t is said that in the long ago an epi-
demic Of influenza was always a fore
runner of cholera. There is u fear in
many quarters that the cholera will Wis
it us next summer, as a sequence to the
grip. 1t is not wise to get unduly excit-
ed over the matter, but nevertheless all
sanitary precautions should be taken.
Let the boards of health and municipal
authorities everywhere be active and do
their full duty.
The following items we clip from the
Port Huron Daily Times of a late date:

and in this respect THE EXPoSITOR has
often been complimented. ~ corp of
correspondents unequalled for versatil-
ity of genius have doomed it. enlighten-
ed the people. and benefited themselves
by regularly contributing to our col
umnS interesting notes of events that
happen in their neighbOrh0ods. We
thank them for what they have done
and hope they will continue to supply
us with their welcome news until the
barren places of Brockway shall bloom
as the rose and our valued correspon-
dents ioom above the horizon Of litera-

The trial of Elmer Moore, or Melvin,
for violation OF Village Ordinance in
"acting in Il noisy and disorderIy man
ner" in Che village of Yale on Monday,
Jan. %, was concluded on Tuesday of
this week, and resulted in the aequittal
of the defendant. The case against
John Laidlaw for same offence was mol.
pros'd upon the case against Moore ter
minating as it did. There seems TO be
a growing idea that suits of this nature
are begun too hastily. That there are
some who are ready upon the lightest
pTeteXt to pounce upon any lucklesS
outsider who may happen to not be con
ducting himself ''iust so" and "pull his
leg for a $500 riue. ana the costs which
are always sure 10 follow and are gener
ally about the same size as the fine. In
two or three recent instances has the
above idea been to a certain extent
justified Whether there is anything
in it or not. public sentiment has about
reached the point where 1T is only nee
essary for the person arrested to make
a defence, and the village is knocked
out" We think the matter might be
largely remedied by giving matters a
little more consideration before issuing
warrants. If the village has counsel
lor let the matter be laid before him
