And now comes the X. & S. III. X. Il
and knocks into pi Mr.. Feek's proposed
stage line between Coolies and Kala
mazOO by changing its time SO as tC
give over eight hours in Kalamazoo, al
of which will be hailed with delight by
the people along the line of the road
1t is hoped that as many as possible
OF the veterans of this place will go to
Almena on the 30th and assist the
"boys" there in their Memorial day ex.
ercies. They have come down here

reciprocate.
If there has been any movement
made towards general vaccination OF
our people, we have not heard of it,
This precaution against small pox, il
occurs TO us, would be wise, inasmuch
as that loathsome disease is gaining a
pretty strong foothold in many local..
ties in this state.
The strawberry season down on the
lake shore is about a week or ten DAYS
earlier than with us. A few crates were
shipped from Benton Harbor last Mon
day night, the first of the season. The
crop promises to be large beyond all
precedent. The harvest will commence
here within day or two.
While the miser's money is secreted
in cellar, it is losing interest. The
merchant who has goods in stock and
fails to let the public know of it, pur-
sues a policy that is equally unsound.
In both cases the principal may be Sc
cure, but the profit which might be re-
allied is lost.-Prtnter'S Ink.

pleasure by all local sportsmen.-Mdr

Yesterday morning Ed. Sutton, a
clerk in Holmes & Bilsborrow's hard
ware store, had loaded an elevator on
the second floor with goods and started
to descend with it when something gave
way and precipitated the whole outfit
clear into the basement. Ed. had the
presence of mind to jump when near
the first floor, and probably escaped
serious injury.
A flooded furnace room Sunday drove
our Methodist friends to the alternative
of holding their services in the church
parlors, which are heated by stoves
But the Methodists do not monopoliZe
the flooded cellar business, by any
means, for there is scarcely residence
between Niles and LaGrave streets
whose occupants are not in the same
or similar boat.

hottest May day experienced here in
twenty years. Saturday morning still
liyelier snow storm was put on tap and
the mercury had dropped to "a, remain
ing uncomfortably close to freezing line
during the day, lowering between that
point and 48 until Monday forenoon,
when the wind shifted to southeast, the
clouds cleared away long enough to al

The manager of the Chicago Weekly
Inter Ocean has given notice to the pub
fishers of all newspapers throughout the
country that the clubbing rates now af-
forded them will cease June 1, 1894; so
we are enabled to extend the time in
which we giUe the Inter Ocean a10dy to
all new subscribers, and all old ones
who pay up to one year in advance, to
the date above mentioned. From and
after that date the Inter Ocean cannot
be secured for anything less than its
regular subscription price-S1 a year
Thus it behooves all who wish to avail
themselves of the unprecedented offer
of the two papers one year for one dol
lar to hand or send their names into
this Office not later than Wednesday of
next week. This is detnite'

of them who made up the drdDldtiS per-
Son9. The piece was elegantly mounted
and the costumes were simply out of
sight. Not the slightest hitch occurred
