o. w. Rowland has just completed
the census of this school district. 1t is
very desirable that no person who ought
to be enumerated should be overlooked.
If there should be any, between the
ages of five and twenty married or
sIngle), will they or some of their rela-
tives please promptly notify Mr.. Row
land of such omission?
John + Brant of Lansing, supern-
tendent of the anti. saloon league, will
speak on the subject of temperance
next Sunday at the Free Baptist church,
at the regular hour for morning service,
and at union temperance meeting in
the evening at the Disciple church Mr.
Brant comes well recommended and no
one who is interested in temperance
work should fail to hear him.
The petitions for a local option cleo
tion were filed with the county clerk
Friday afternoon. He has satisfied
himself that there are enough names
on the petitions, and has called the
supervisors to meet in special session
to consider them, on Tuesday, Septem-
Der IA, at 10 a. m. The Northerner
thinks it altogether probable that the
petitions are sufficient and that an
election will be called.
Register Harvey, few days since,

There are half dozen or so lads in
| this place who are in fair way to get
into trouble if they do not mend their
ways. Petty stealing and disorderly
conduct on the streets after night fall
are quite likely to lead to serious con-
sequences. Already complaint against
some of them has been lodged with
one of the village magistrates, and
nothing but respect for the feelings of
their parents has stood in the way of
an arrest being made. Every one of
these boys will know very well who is
meant by this item, and it should be
sufficient notice for a cessation of their
unlawful conduct. A term behind the
bars would not be relshed by any of
them.
