The important effect of advertising
is one of direct nature. 1t conveys
the impression that the firm is anxious
for business. One anxious for business
is universally supposed to be indus
trious and enterprising. They keep
the best articles at the cheapest rates,
do everything in the neatest manner,
and in general use every expedient to
attract and crafty customers. People
like to purchase under these condi-
tons, and the system of advertising
assuring them that such circumstances
exist at this or that particular place,
they select it accordingly.
Died, on Friday, July 18th, 1893. at
her home on the Billman farm miles
west of Yale, Xene, wife of Theodore
was held on Sunday at 10 o'clock from
the house to the Bidleman school
house and from there to the McFad-
den cemetery where her remains were
laid to rest. Rev. w. +. Perkins con-
Quoted the services. A very large
congregation OF friends and relatives
were present to pay their last tribute
of respect to the departed. The hus-
band and six small children are left
TO mourn the departure OF a kind and
and indulgent wife and mother.
Last Friday evening while Chauncy
Stevens, George and Joe Edgerton
were standing together looking at
one of the Edgerton boys, Chauncv
Stevens, not knowing it was loaded,
raised the hammer and pulled the
trigger the ball entering George Edg-
erton's leg Just below the knee. DR..
Wight was called and probed the
wound for the bullet but failed to
find it. As soon as J. Il. Stevens,
father of the boy, learned of the ac-
cident he went to Mr.. Edgerton's to
ascertain correctly full details of the
matter and was told by Mr.. Edgerton
that it was purely accidental; that the
revolver belonged to one of his own
boys and that Mr.. Stevens boy was
talking of buying it, that when he
pulled the trigger he did not know it
was loaded. At this time Mr.. Stevens
offered to pay for half the doctors
bill and supposed it was so understood.
This did not seem to satisfy Mr.. Edg-
erton for on Thursday of this week
he went to Port Huron in company
with Mr. Stevens and without breath
ing a word of his intentions to him
went directly to the prosecuting at
torney's office and secured warrant
for the arrest of the boy for "ma-
liciously, feloniously and with intent
to do great bodily harm to his SON..
This warrant was given to the sheriff
who came up on the noon train and
took the boy back on the next train.
Mr.. Stevens being i'll Port Huron at
the time was telephoned about the
occurrence and he at once saw the
prosecuting attorney who, upon bail
being furnished, waived examination
until next Friday. Mr.. Stevens is
terribly hurt over this affair and thinks
the action of Mr.. Edgerton was wholly
uncalled for. 1t is the ardent wish of
the ExPosIToR that these matters may
be properly adjusted without the aid
of the courts in the matter.
