Our old friend Moses Burns, of FIRE.
mont township, Sanilac county, knows
now that it's a long lane that has no
turn in it. This time the turn os the
tide is such as to put him back in his
former position as agent for the State
Board of Corrections and Charities in
that county, he having been so appoint
ed by Gov. Bliss on January 10th. Mr..
Burns has served for four years in this
work, under former administrations
and is the right man for it, if faithful
and efficient service count for any
thing.
The notch-marks at the head of the
first page of the last issue of the Brown

They indicate that a decade of local
life has been duly recorded, and ten
volumes of the Banner have been snug
ly filed for future use. That Vol ri,
No. mark tells us the Banner has run
the gauntlet of diseases incident to
Journalistic infancy, and set its face
for the "teens"-and the romance of
its young manhood. May the Banner
ever bloom, and no blight fall on the
lot of the publisher.

NO VEGETABLES WITH MEAT.
Restaurateurs Say They Cannot
Afford to Serve Them.

Owing to the scarcity of fresh vegetables
caused by the drought. local restaurateurs
may discontinue serving them with regular
orders of meat and fish, as has been the
custom. Il has been found that the high
prices which prevail in the produce market
reduce The profit on vegetables sold in res
taGrants TO such narrow margin that it
Viii be impossible to continue serving them
al the present prices.
In nearly all the moderate-priced restau-
rants, " here business men eat luncheon and
dinner, il has been the custom to serve Do
tatoes or one other vegetable with orders
OF meat. eggs or fish. Geld meats are gen.
traly sarnished with lettuce, water cress
or some other green vegetable. Under the
new order Of things all such garnishment
VIII be left out and a special charge will
be made for potatoes and all other vege-
tables.
The drought has played havoc with our
business. said the proprietor of an Olive
street restaurant yesterday. Every one
seems to want fresh vegetables and salads
and II is almost impossible to supply the
demand and make any profit with the pres
tnt prices. Certain kinds OF produce cannot
be had at any price, and all offerings are
OF inferior quality 1t is bad enough now
