be handed into this Office not later than
Tuesday noon to ipsure careful attention.
The ice rink question is being agitated
at last. That all round sport and base

the promoter, which bodies we'll for it's
success.
Carpenters are busy re-modeling the

Not until Tuesday Of this week have
the people of Langdon been able to find
a solitary fake OF snow to set foot upon

weeks ago. At the least that's what
Billy O'Reilly writes US.
The new serial story 'rhe Bondman, -
the opining chapters of which appear
this week, promises to be one of unusual
interest. Much other state end general
news in concise form helps to make our
twelve page paper better than the best.
Seventy-two columns of first class reading
each week.

storming actors never touched US. The
fact of the matter being that they went
on the rocks down the line at Inkster the
day previous to the opining Of their two

dozen churches.
The city fathers held their regular
monthly session at the city hall Monday
evening. Nothing much except the
usual routine business came before the
council. The quarterly report Of finance
was submitted and looked into aud the
different funds arranged for the meeting
of indebtedness when falling due. The
police and fire department reports also
were read and passed over without action.
An advisable step taken by the council
before adjourning was their decision to
have the Jail, fire hall and council cham.
Der fitted with electric lights from
now on.
The ladies OF the Milton w. g. T. u,
organization have novel and unique
series of medal contest entertainments
arranged for the coming winter months.
Such interesting topics as How to Catch,
Kill, Stuff, Cook and Serve Blind Pig"
and Chow to Cure the Old Man of the
Habit of Making a Smokestack of His
Mouth being among those on the pro.
gram. The list Of subjects include a
hall. doz 81 more in which the new women
get a chance to "spell bind" with Their
flights of oratory, what will doubtless
prove to be crowded houses. 1t haslone
aoo been demonstrated that talking was
a Gift within woman's sphere and like
by the Milton chubby" will be glad tc
to take night off and stay at home tc
keep on fires and nurse the kids while
his better half is down town reading the
riot act TO mankind generally.
