ceptions To being characterized as a

rs applied to those evangeiistic sects,

known clothier, of Detroit, on Thurs

The announcement is made that the
! Haines Milling Co. of Three Rivers has
begun heavy shipments of flour to
! Cuba, rs an immediate result of the
| Spanish reciprocity treaty with the
! United States This is straw which
shows what the reciprocity clause in
the Mckinley tariff law is doing in nu-
merous directions, and yet Democratic
organs are striving to max farmers be-
lieve that that law is detrimental to
their interests.
The following item is clipped from
the South Haven Sentinel of the 18th
inst: Thursday of this week a merry
party Of Paw Paw ladies came here for
day of pleasure, and of course they
had it, Many of them are among the
former school girls of that village, and

Miss Alice Nj. Fletcher, of the United
States Interior Department and the
Peabody Museum, Cambridge, will con-
tribute to The Century in 1892 the re-
suits of her studies of the American
Indian in a series of illustrated papers.
They will give an intimate account of
how the Indian actually lives, his music,
home life, warfare, hunting customs,
etc, and it is the opinion of Professor
Putnam of Hartford that they will un-
doubtcdly be the most important papers
that have ever been published on the
subject, and that they will give an en-
tirely different idea of the Indian from
that now commonly prevailing. The
series will be called The Indians

Rev. J. w. Arney, of Saranac was
hauled over the Goals again at the NJ
f. conference just closed at Grand
Rapids, for being too great a lover of
fast horses. Last year he was repri-
manded in the conference and promised
to keep out of horse races in the future,
