A big row is threatened on the +. &
p. Ms narrow gauge line running TO
Almont. The company has been run
ming two trains each way daily, and
now has cut the service to two trains
daily, one to arrive in Port Huron at
7.25 Il. m. and to leave for the return
trip at 6 p. m. The company claim
the cut is necessary because the road
has not been paying expenses. The
yard gang at Port Huron has been dis
charged. and the Almont train crew
will run the yard engine and do the
switching. Almont people and those
of other towns along the line threaten
to boycott the road and the outcome
will be watched with interest. The
road is short one and many farmers
can drive to Port Huron to do their
trading, and if the boycott is put into
force, it could perhaps be made very
effective.

who contribute to the ll9 illustrations
adjoining its pages, are Laurens, Rein

price of l24 cents "a copy, or Sl.50 q

changed in size and each issue will be
an advance upon its predecessors.
Literally, every known country is be-
ing ransacked for material in the hope

On Thursday evening last, as Mrs.
G.. w. Bell was sitting alone in her
house about nine o'clock, her husband
being out of town, she heard n stealthy
footstep along the sidewalk leading to
the side door. Getting up she opened
the door, the screen being locked, and
