The Port Huron Daily Times of
Tuesday the 10Th says that Ex-Salt In
spector Black, of Marine City, was Il
Port Huron visitor on Monday after
noon. In conversation with him he
said that Fred Gooding, of Keuockee,
stood no more show of being appoint
ed deputy oil Inspector than he did of
going to Congress. Mr.. Black has it
from the very best authority that the
office will go to a Mr.. Swanbeck, of
Macomb county.
The corner stone laying of the new
NJ. church at West Brockway on
Wednesday, August 10th, was sue
cess in every way. About sos were paid
in by subscriptions and over $50 made
in other ways. Those who had the
work of soliciting in charge did nobly
and have in the neighborhood of $3.50
to the credit of the church fund. Rev.
Crandell, of Fargo, preached the SER
mon and gave very interesting talk.
Revs. Harger, of Capac, Cooper, of
Goodland, Traver and Coulter, of
Yale, were present, besides large
number OF citizens from Yale. The
day was Il pleasant one and everybody
enjoyed themselves.
In the state, recently, young man
got mad at his girl because she went
home with another fellow. He re-
quested her to send back the presents
he gave her, besides $25 he expended
on her for entertainments. She con-
suited a lawyer, after returning the
presents, and made out bill that the
young man owed her, amounting to
$72. 1t includes meals he took at her
residence, fuel and lights sitting up
with her at nights, mendlng his socks,
pressing his coat, etc. We guess the
young man will let the matter drop,
for he would be $37 out of pocket.
Have any of our Yale young men had
any such experiences?
We have many times asked the ques-
ton and quite often been asked what
the letter "R'' on physicians pre-
scription means or represensP The fol-
lowing item clipped from an exchange
explains the meaning: "During the
middle ages, when astrology was in
vogue a character similar to the present
letter 'R' was the sign of Jupiter, the
preseryer of health. The doctors, who
were equally devoted to the science OF
medicines and of astrology, always
began their prescriptions with the fol
lowing words: In the name of Jupi-
ter take the following doses in the
order set down hereinafter In the
course of time this formula was abbre
? waited until only the letter 'R' re
] NAMED"
At pastors meeting held on Satur
day, Aug. II, at which Revs. Rowe

j The councils action was most heartily

@ No doubt the echo of these shots viii
Q be noted in aroused and purified pub
