HOUGHTON.

The Misses Adalaine and Char
lotte Lowe, two of the principal
teachers in Washburn's public school,
spent Saturday afternoon here, the
guests of Mrs. Giebel, the latter
being the teacher of the Houghton
schools.
The schools are arranging for the
proper observance of Arbor day
Mrs. Charles Smith aas been quite
sick, but is improving. She expects
to leave soon with her son for Ka-
sofa, Minnesota, to join her husband
who is working there.
Our genial neighbor w. H. Smith
is being ''joshed'' a good deal by his
| friends this week, in consequence of
| his experiences in making maple
sugar and syrup. The story goes
that Mr.. Smith spent week in the
sugar bush, with the net result that
he got a quart of syrup. Now there
are those who are unkind enough to
say that Will was tapping hemlock
during all the week, and that he was
not in the sugar bush at all. OF
course Mr.. Smith won't acknow-
ledge that such was the case, and
attributes his bad luck to the poor
condition Of the bush.
Al. Hartly has gone to Ashland,
where he will work at his trade this
summer.
The saw mill of the Prentice
Rrownstone Company is al work,
and considerable stone is being cut
up.
Mrs. Stevenson expects quite a
number of summer boarders, and of
course is prepared to give them the
best entertainment that Houghton
can afford
Smith & Babcock expect to start
their quarles in q short time, and
it is likely that they will do quite
business this season. The brown
stone business has been rarher dead
for several years, but it is expected
and hoped that the day of the reviv-
al of the industry is nearly at hand
