The grip is quite prevalent, but not
SO virulent in form or effects as it was
two years ago. A little care to pre-
vent taking cold will avoid its attack,
but a good deal of medicine seems to
have little effect in curing it. About
the best that can be done when suf-
feriug from grip is to stay in the
house, keep warm and keep quiet.
At the Congregational church Sun
day morning, Feb. 9, the subject of
discourse, will be, 'The Law of Gods
Revelation" In the evening the
pastor will begin series of addresses
on 1.-THE Twelve Gates Of Heaven"
discussing the various ways of en-
trance to the Kingdom of God. The
first topic will be illustrated entirely
from the life of Abraham Lincoln.
The Busby Brothers Go. played "Ten
Nights in Bar Room" with special
ties between the acts and vaudeville
entertainment as sequel, to an $50
house here Thursday night of last
week. This is an exceptionally good
theatrical troupe; the play is an ex-
citing and popular one and the pre-
sanitation of it was excellent. The
play itself is striking object lesson
in temperance.
Tt is so easy to deliver grain such as
wheat, rye, oats, barley, succotash and
corn; all level ground, or slightly
descending; no heavy grades up or
down; no high lifts, gravity empties
and elevates. Save your strength and
horse flesh. Don't cross railroad
tracks. Don't go down or up steep
hills, endangering your property and
life, when there are no cars to fright
en- horses near the Cascade Mills. We
want your grain, and will at all times
try to make the price right.

presenting the merits of tank heat
er of which he is the inventor, with a
view to the inducing of the citizens

The many friends Of the Rev.
Jesse Searles, who preached here as
resident pastor of the M. e. church
nearly thirty years ago, will be pleased
to know that as pastor of the First
M. E. church, West Superior, although
now more thar threescore years of
age, with hair as white as the snow
he retains his youthful face and sparkle
of the eye, firm step and forceful
thought Of younger years. His Sunday
sermons give evidence Of careful pre-
paration and are delivered in an easy
and graceful manner. Twenty new
members have been added to the
church since conference.
j. Q Emery, formely state superin-
tendent of public instruction, is
quoted as saying: IT have been engaged
for two weeks in examining the
graduating classes of the state nor
NAL schools, and want to say that
during the seven years that [ have
been a mem Der of the com mittee
charged with this duty between 500
and 900 more graduates have been
examined than during the entire
previous history of the normal
schools of the state. The increase is
due not only TO the increase in the
number OF schools but to the increase
in the mum Der Of students attending
