A broken rail near the planning mill,

The attention of our readers is called
to the prospectus of the New YORK
Press, in another column. 1t is one
of the best, If not the best republican
paper published in New York city, and
all who want paper during the CON-
ing campaign, published outside of our
state, should subscribe ut once. Sub
scriptions received at this Office.
The campfire entertainment at the
opera house, last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings was eminently sue
cessful. The Drummer boy of the
Rappahannock" Captured the crowd,
and the local parts were all well sus-
tanned. 1t is considered that Gray
ling contains more musical ability to
the square rod than any city in Michi-
gan.
"ALwAYs GOOD" is the verdict after
reading copy of The Youths Com
pdnion, but when we get such a su-
perb Companion as the Christmas
Double Number just received ga
pages, finely illustrated, with beau
tiful cover in colors) we wonder why
the paper is not taken by one million
families instead of five hundred thous-
and.

The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription
TO run along for some time unpaid
and then orders the postmaster to
mark it refused, and have postal
card sent notifying the publisher,
leaves himself liable to arrest and
find, the same as for theft.-E1.
N f. Britt, who is favorably re-
membered by our early pioneers, as
county surveyor, an ex-soldier, ster-
ling republican, a jolly good fellow
and an all around man, came in on
Mondays train, looking as hearty as
when he left here in 'S3 for the far
west. He is surprised at our growth,
and pleased with our prosperity. IL
he had brought his family. and come
to stay, we would have been better
satisfied.
The following from Oregon came
with the renewal of subscription for
