a Band Concert.

The time was never more ripe than
now for band concert. DR.. Fitzger-
aid informs us that he will take charge
as instructor, or get into the ranks un-
der any other instructor. and give to
the people of this village musical
program of solos, Duets, trios, quartets,
fftetts, sextetts, character songs, cho-
ruses, anthems, reed, string and brass
music unequalled ever before by home
talent, every part and tone of it.
The doctor also says he will choose
a song which he will sing, accompanied
by the brass band, drums, anvils, sleigh
bells, triangles, and be heard clear and
destinct above the whole lot.
Our bass horn was melted down in
the late fire and it costs money to get
another. Here is q chance to raise
some money to fully equip the band
We have and to spare musicians who
can fully fill all the parts above spoken
of. Female sopranos and altos are
you ready to assist, the gentle men can
do nothing without you.
The concert will come off about the
last week in March. Report early to
the leader of the band or to anyone
you think interested. They will carry
your name in, and at the night of the
concert we will crack the dome on
Central Hall.

Contesting the Will.

Some months before his death George
Brown. of Brockway township, made
his will leaving to his daughter Mary
who was then living at home with him,
so acres of the homestead farm and the
personal property thereon. He willed
to his daughter, Mrs. Doughty Middle
ton, 40 acres of the homestead farm.
He also at the same time made deed
of 40 acres Of land in an adjoining sec
ton to his son Charles Brown. He
provided that the daughter, Mary,
should pay his daughter, Mrs. Walker,
of this village, 1925, within six months
after his death, and his daughter, Mrs.
Meyers, of Port Huron, 1926 within
the same time. He also provided that
nothing should be paid or given to his
son Lemuel Brown, stating in the will
that he had helped him all he desired
to. He provided that his daughter
Mary should pay his remaining son, j.
e. Brown, 500 within six months and
that she should also pay all of his fun
eral expenses and expenses of his last
sickness.
lie made the daughter Mary executor
of his will. When the will was filed
the heirs, Lem Brown, j. f. Brown,
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Meyers appear
ed in Probate Court by their attorneys,
Avery Brothers and Walsh and filed
objections to the allowance of the will
alleging incompetency of the deceased
to make will and that he had been
unduly influenced in making disposi-
ton of his property.
The estate and Miss Brown as Exc
cutor is represented by Attorney j. B.
McIlwain. Testimony was taken in
part on Tuesday and the hearing ad-
journed two weeks on account of
previous engagements of the attorneys.
Mr.. Brown had long been respected
citizen of this township and this con-
test oyer the disposition of his property
will be watched with interest by his
former friends and neighbors.

Resolved, That we, the members of
Yale Tent, No. 86, knights of the Mac
cabees, take this opportunity of express
ing our heartfelt sympathy for the fam
lily of our deceased brother in this their

ANOTHER FIRE.
The Farm House of James Weston Burned
Sunday Morning.

ouudoy hoTnInBs
Fire destroyed the farm house of
James Weston three miles north and
one mile east of the village Sunday
morning at eight o'clock. The fire was
caused by defective stove pipe and
the whole upper story was in flames
before discovered
Mr.. and Mrs. Weston were both con-
fined to the bed with sickness, the faith
er has been laid up with appendicitis
and tho mother is suffering with Sc
we're attack of the grippe. The parents
were promptly removed to M. W. Len
mons, father of Mrs. Weston, where
they are being properly cared for.
The members Of the family had not
time to dress and suffered considerably
from the cold while going to their
grandparents about forty rods from
their home.
The neighbors succeeded in saving
portion of the household goods. The
house and household goods are valued
at about 81 200 with $3.50 insurance.
Sickness in ones family is bad enough
in itself, but to have the home burned
over your head at such a time, and dur
ing such severe cold weather, is ex-
tremely hard luck. The family have
the sympathy of everybody.
