In erecting fence to keep in fowls
many make mistake in running
wooden rails along the top from post

cable wire instead and strain the

not make any attempt to fly over: be-

A FACT TO REMEMBER

Do not forget that when you plant
out fruit and shade trees you are not
only improving the appearance of
your own property. but also adding to
the appearance of the town in which
you reside-East Coast Advocate.

cause he believes midd!ings are best
but because he has not the corn and
holds that it is cheaper to buy mid.
dlings than corn. A better knowledge
about feeding would not only lessen
the risks of loss, but in many cases
would increase the profits.
While much may be learned from
others there is nothing that will equal
our own careful experience.

Sundays game would have been a
good exhibition but for the very dis
gusting tactics Of some OF the Iron
Mountain players in wrangling over
decisions OF the umpire. While no
two persons look at an umpire's de-

is unnecessary for five or six members
of a team to run out upon the field
every time there is any difference of
opinion. 1t is practice that shonld

throw over first that let In another.
The score stood to in favor Of Iron
Mountain and things looked shakey.
But, old heads in the game proved a
steadng factor, and instead OF going
in the air the boys got down TO work

inning three runs were brought in and
the game tied. AT the end of the
ninth inning the game still stood Tie

Many OF our people remember
Timothy McCarty who made his home
here in the early DAYS Of the place.
We take the following mention of him
from the Munising Republican of last
week
Even the most intimate friends Of
Timothy ID. Mccarthy, one Of Munis-
ing's best known citizens, would not
guess that he has this month rounded
out the last OF three score and ten
years Of his life, but such Is the case.
He is still strong and vigorous and
works every day at his trade OF car
pentry He is acknowledged TO be the
best workman in the city, and, indeed,
he ought TO know something about IL
for he has worked steadily at the
trade for - years.
Mr.. Mccarthy is more OF a thinker
than talllcr, and II isn't always
possible to get him 10 talk about him
self, but The Republican man "got ON
the right side" OF him few days ago
and by vigorous pumping process
learned few facts which will be read
with interest by those who have
known him here for eight years.
1t was i'm 1899, when he was only 5
years old, that Mr. McCarthy's parents
came from old Ireland and settled in
this country lie began to learn the
