Another paper is to be started at
I Coleman. Our old friend, ID. b. Me-
mercy, is the editor of the Independent
at that place, and we think fills the
bill too entirely to give place now to
another. One paper Is enough for a
town the size of Coleman and we i'm
agine that the publisher of the new
paper will i'll short time be a saddcr
and wiser mar
Elder X. Il. Brown has returned to
his home at thas place and will preach

Over thirty of the relatives and
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Reid
of Brockway called at their home
west of the village on Wednesday
evening, March Sth and gave them a
delightful birthday surprise. A boun-
tiful supper was partaken of and the
company enjoyed Il very pleasant
evening. On leaving all wished Mr..
and Mrs. Reid might enjoy many
more just such occasions.
"About eighty different constructions
of the present tax law have been made
by the county treasurers of Michigan,
one for nearly every county in the
state" Such was the verdict of Au-
ditor-generai Stone. The great diff
lculty comes from the attempt to tax
notes and mortgages. Promises to pay
are not tangible property and any
attempt to tax them as property leads
to trouble, because not based on prin-
ciple.
The waters of Mill Creek rose very
high in the thaw last week. Some
lands were flooded and fences
carried away. The creek rose above
the road at the Jones bridge north and
west of the village also at the bridge
Just west and at the one near the fair
ground. Chauncy Kelley and Frank
Gillian were out all day Saturday,
Saturday night, and Sunday using
dynamite to break up the ice and Il
great deal of damage has thus been
averted.

Samuel Edgerton, living six miles
south west of Yale met with painful
accident few days ago, whilst attend
ing to one of his horses. The horse
being young and fractions, and Just
having got some new shoes on thought
to try their sharpness on Sans face.
This part of the program he must have
done to his entire satisfaction as it
took eleven stitches, two doctors and
other assistants to close up the solution
of continuity that had been made.
For some reason best known to himself
the horse aimed at Sans cheek, and
he did not miss his mark. DR.. Mitchell
was called and with the assistance of
DR.. A. NJ. Francis did piece of stitch
ing that any dressmaker might be
proud of, and most likely will be
some day.
The subject which is vexing the
guide wives nowadays is that of
hoop-skirts-to be or not to be. We,
like the majority of mankind, and we
believe womankind also are utterly and
entirily against the revival of crinofine,
but even with so many in revolt we
still see it looming up i'll the distance,
coming nearer and nearer until the
dear ladies will finally give in. Eve all
know how frail they are in that re-
spect) However, we advise them to
make one supreme effort and it Is
possible that this evil, which unlike
man, is NOT necessary, may be averted.
Let the ladies get up a petition, get
all the names possible, call meeting,
get an expression from every woman
in the town, forward the petition to
Mrs. Cleveland, do anything and every
thing to send this nuisance sky high.
Ladies, before this paper is issued
next week let us hear that you are
doing something.
