D0Hd G. MnrS stare.

The firm of Doud & Muir opened
their new store to the public Saturday
April 9th. There was a constant flow
of people to and from their business
place all day. The country people
occupied their attention all the fore
noon and the city people made their
appearance in the afternoon. 1t is safe
to say at least 500 persons visited this
store during the day. No goods were
sold in the morning but there was such
a demand for them that they sold
during the afternoon and evening.
Exclamations of delight and surprise
were heard on all sides to find so large
a stock and such variety of shoes.
Nothing like it was ever brought TO the
twin cities The ladies were perfectly
delighted. The gentlemen were treated
TO cigars and the ladies to button hooks.
One thousand cigars were given away
and $500 button hooks. The firm are
well pleased with their opening and
they look forward to a nice trade.
They intend to do everything in their
power to please.

18th Wis. Vet. Vols, infantry, received
a letter from his old comrade and friend
n. D. Brown, Fort Gratiot, Mich, who
is we'll known in these parts among

contained the following verses:
Memories many hued batallions
Are marching past in fond review,
Reminders Of that foul rebellion
Comrades loving, loved and true.
Untried but true the "Boys in Blue
Surround their Country banner,
Shed life's dear blood fer freedoms good
Preferring death to foul dishonor
Remember me to Company G.''
A comrades love l send
To comrades dear who knew no fear,
True soldiers to the end.

1t will be noted that but two counties
the sum just granted our probate court,
while st. Joseph, with population of
5000 less than ours, allows just double
the amount. Berrien and Calhoun
each allow $500, while the salary of their
probate judges is fixed at $500 more
that ours. Thus it will be seen that,
instead of this being "Ben Heckert's
salary grab, ;" it is recognized necessity
in all counties having a volume of pro-
bate business approaching that of ours.

That salary Grab.

No one was surprised ut the attack
on Judge Heckert made in last weeks
Courier. Because that sheet had not
uttered syllable against the Judge
during the entire campaign was no
proof to those who knew the true in
wardness of its editor that he would
not i'm his last issue before the election
give vent To some of his long pent up
spleen. 1t was not a new disease that
had but that moment attacked him.
1t was but recurrence OF the same
malady with which he suffered SO in
tensely throughout the campaign of
four years ago, during which his sheet
fairly reeked with personal abuse OF the
object of it's ire. After that election
was over and Judge Heckert trium-
phantly elected, the Courier modified
its tone, at times even yerging on sycO-
phancy i'm its remarks with reference to
Judge Heckert, personally, and the adj
ministration of his office especially.
Neither was this unexpected, for he
looked longingly for the stray bits of
pap" that might peradventure find its
way into his Golfers from the probate
court. And again, neither will those
who know the Courier man be surprised
To see him filling the role of Uriah Heep
once more, now that the Judge Is again

Office he has flied with such signal
ability. We shall see how tumble" he
can be when policy dictates.
He took as IA text for his article
the recent action of the board of super

sum of three hundred dollars per year

highway robbery" is going on around
us. Since this question has arisen, in
quiries have been addressed to most of
the probate judges in southern Michi

was made for clerk hire in their several
counties. Up to this writing responses
are at hand from twelve of them, and
the account stands Thus:

There is Honor in Defeat.

Defeat brings no dishouor to Presi-
dent Harrison He has given the
country four years Of pure and saga
cious government. He did not work
for denomination and was willing 10
lose it rather than win il by making
concessions to that element in his
party, whose methods he did not APP
prove. His campaign has been CON
Quoted upon the high plane Of roliti-
cal argument and never in the history
If this country has a campaign been
more free from personalities and APP
pcals to prejudice and passion than
the canvas made by the republican
party iii this campaign. Surely has
/ it been a campaign Of education and
enlightenment The leading national
questions have been fearles>ly dis
cussed, and no resort has been made
TO questionable methods or double
dealing. President Harrison has lost
the election but he has not lost dig
nifty nor the highest respect Of the
American people. He viii leave his
