Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1891-06-12

L
ID. III. g. r., last evening from the SUI
| preme Court, i. o. f., states that
Court Yale, 800, /. o. f., has won the
Supreme Court $50 prize, for the larg-
est increase in membership from
March lst. 1891, to June 3Oth. 1891.
| A couple of weeks ago certain
newspaper contained rather severe
critisism on an article in the Port
Austin Post, which announced that
they were going to add $500 worth Of
material to their office. The critic
comes out this week ana says their pa
per is only 800 year. 1t was only a
matter of a period in each case.
The Yale Comedy Co. band is pro-
crossing finely under the instruction
of Prof. Grinnell. The boys will give
one of their popular entertainments
on the evening of July 4th. A treat is
promised the people in the way of
fine music, good singing, artistic dane
ing, etc. The proceeds will go towards
buying new instruments.
Dave b. Menerey, editor of the Cole
man Independent, formerly of our
charge of Frank l.. Sanford and re-
|
associated himself with A. $. Coutant
of the Isabella County Enterprise.
We doubt not that the efforts of these
two combined will make the Enter
prise more successful than ever.
Mrs. VIM. Lackie, of Port Huron,
last week laid complaint before the
prosecuting attorney that her husband
was at her place smashing the bar fix
lures and destroying property. The
attorney asked her if she sold whiskey
and beer. She replied that she ran II
saloon on Butler street, he then asked
her if she had license, whereat she
hesitated but finally admitted that she
had not. She was turned over to the
chief of police, arraigned on u charge
of selling liquor without a license and
bound over to the circuit court for
trial.
A new time table went into effect on
the +. q Z. NJ. last Monday and two
more trains were put on between Sag
NAV and Port Huron, which makes six
expresses passing through this place
daily. The morning train going east
arrives here at 9;46 instead of 9:22, and
the one going west arrives at S:5S in
stead of $3.50. The west bound train in
the afternoon arrives here at l:50 and
the east bound at 3:l5. The evening
expresses meet here at 1870. The
train going west in the afternoon now
carries the mail instead of the evening
train as heretofore.
The local banks have received notice
that II new counterfeit is in circulation.
1t is a SO silver certificate, series b,
| M IN. ha .ln rlxy IN,
ink. There are serious defects, how
ever, among them being the omission
of the words: "This certifes that
there has been deposited in the treas
ury" over the words Omitted States"
the omission of the imprint; "Register
of the Treasury" under the signature
of w. 5. Rosecrans; Treasurer of the
! United States" under the signature of
James W. Hyatt. The portrait of
Hendricks is exceedingly well done,
and altogether the counterfeit is said
to be one of the most dangerous in
circulation.
The position of country editor is
not held in the esteem it should be.
Country papers are not respected as
| they ought to be. If family can
afford only one paper, let that be the
| home paper; for it concerns family
more to know what is being done in its
own county than it does to know the
news of distant places. The city paper
cannot give, and does not pretend to
| give, the local news that its country
readers must have: but the good
country paper does not fail to give
fair epltome of the worlds news. No
other publication can supply the place
of Il good local paper. If both can
not be retained-if either city jounal
or country newspaper must go, let it be
the former; for nothing can supply
the place of the local paper.
DR.. Clyne's experience with horses
has been anything but pleasant of late,
and his faith in the saying that horse
is mans most faithful friend, is begin
ming to totter. Last week we recorded
two little picnics the nag decided to
indulge in without any damage to
property or life. but last Sunday the
equine thought he would show Doc.
what he was capable of doing, and
after going through few steps of the
| ghost dance and polka dot he gave all
exhibition of high kicking which re-
suited disastrously for the rig. When
the rig was badly demoraliZed the ami
NAL gave a good sample of the "rusch"
by rushing down the road at 2.4O
gait. While the exhibition was going
on the doctor stood by laboring under
| the impression that it was "mean
piece of trick" Doc. took the nag in
hand this week and now says he has
one of the best drivers in the country
and the animal is as quiet as n kitten.
"Can the character be read from the
handwriting" Most assuredly it can.
Every one can remember being infiu-
enced favorably or unfavorably by the
penmanship of some unknown person,
and has been astonished how true the
conclusions were; and some of the
worlds foremost thinkers have MAIN
tanned that the handwriting furnishes
a more exact key to the character than
the head, face, or form. Character
reading from handwriting is fascin-
ating study; and if you wish to learn
all about it you must read the excel
lent and profusely illustrated article,
GLOW to Read Character by Handwrit-
ing" by Prof. Nelson Thorpe, publish
ed in the July number of Demorest's
Family Magazine, and you will be still
more interested in The subject. In the
