Lent comes very late this year.

Lent comes very late this year.
Its beginning is always deter
mined by the date of its close, and
the latter is fixed in the follow
ing manner: Easter falls on the
first Sunday following the full
moon next after the vernal equi-
nox. Spring begins at l Al a. m.
Eastern standard time, on March
81. There is to be a full moon
on April 10 "Wednesday, and
the first Sunday thereafter is
April %. If April 10 fell on Mon
lay. other factors in the accula-
tons remaining unchanged, Eas-
ter would come on April %.
which is as late as it ever could
occur. The festival comes this
year, therefore. within two days
of the extreme limit possible.

Enjoyable Dance.

The Citizens Hose company
gave very enjoyable dance last
evening at their commodious
quarters on Hill street. About
twenty-five couples were present,
and the light fantastic was trip
ped to the sweet strains of music
until late hour. All in attend
ance express themselves as having
spent a most delightful evening.

There is a difference Of opinion
among farmers as to the effect of
the recent dry weather on wheat.
Some contend that it is suffering
from the drouth, while others
take the opposite view. They say
the dry weather caused the roots
to grow down deep into the soil,
which will enable the plants to
stand the winter better than they
would had there been rain, for
when that is the case the roots
are near the surface and are more
apt to be Eilled. This explanation
sounds reasonable, but it may not
hold good. You can tell better
next May.

YE GODS, LAWSON IS A
HOPELESS PANOGYRIAC,

The Standard Oil company's
Oil City Sewer Trap has secured
allegations from the physician in
charge of the State Asylum for
the Insane at Warren, Pa, that
Tom Lawson is a hopeless "pano-
gyriac," whatever that may
mean. Lawson, according to the
evidence Of the Standards insan-
ity expert, is fit subject for a
padded cell. 1t has long been
known that the Standard Oil
company were rapidly acquiring
control of all the institutions OF
the country, but this latest acqul-
sition was quite unexpected, and
this is really the first evidence
that the great monopoly had
sought to bring about an Insan-
ity trust. That the men at the
head of the great monopoly are
far-seeing is unquestioned, and
that they realize the great respon-
sibility resting with them is DEM
oustrated by their latest acqulsl-
ton, the Insane asylum at War
rem, Pa. Among the vast number
of their employees that menace
public welfare and are permitted
to roam at large is their "eulO-
giac" at the head of their Oil
City Sewer Trap. The dangerous
ealogist of the Standard Oil COM
pany has so long been compelled
to stand sponsor for the alleged
morality and honest intentions OF
his monopolistic employers that
he has become afflicted with that
horrible malady known to experts
as eulogism, which must result IN
the early occupancy of one Of the
cells of the institution so recently
ACQUIRED by his employers. This
dangerous eulogiac has had many
narrow escapes from confinement
in cells of various institutions and
for various causes. He cannot,
in the natural course of events,
expect to be permitted to longer
mingle with his fellows-his con,
dition is too dangerous. JUN
what business he had or why ms
Standard Oil employers should
solicit their alleged eminent spec
ialist and insanity expert to g

place, and have already commenced the
erection of a lumber mill, with lath

feet per annum.
1.-THE same firm will also erect next
season, a sash, door and blind factory
with planning, matching and growing
machinery. separate from their lumber
mill. Mr.. VIM. Case, of Norwalk,
Ohio, has repaired his steam grist mill,
introduced new bolts, established flour

other grains, and is now doing a large
and remunerative business.

Mr. Clark is also doing paying bust
ness. Alma has ar the present time, five
dry goods stores, all of which are doing
good trade and selling goods as low as
they can be bought in Northern Mich

stores, two boot and shoe stores. one
drug store one harness shop, two black
smith shops, two wagon and carriage
shops, one hardware store with tin shop,
and good cabinet shop and furniture
store. Two good hotels furnish the nee

Ell mill, foundry and tannery and the
proprietors Of the village and water
power, will afford every facility TO prac-
teal men, possessing some capital, who
wish to engage in either of the above
branches.
From the above plain statement OF
facts, il will be readily seen that Alma
offers superior inducements to those
possessing means, and wishing TO estab-
lish prosperous business of almost any
kind, in new and thriving town.
"All these, with numerous other adj
vantages, which we have not the space
10 enumerate, point to this young and
rapidly growing village as destined to bee
the most cetdi and important town in
Northern Michigan. Add TO this the
fact that while its sister villages are in
debted almost exclusively TO Eastern or
foreign capital for their development,
Alma has been built up entirely by the
money of its own citizens, made at
home, in the pursuit of legitimate
business, and is today much the young
est of its noisy rivals; and the conclusion
must be inevitable to every candid mind
that II will soon outstrip them all i'm
growth and prosperity a. it now excels
them in those natural advantages. in

Fire Drill.
Last Wednesday the Alma students haC
their usual fire drill which showed mark &c
improvement. Every pupil was out oil
the building in eighty seconds after the
fire alarm was given. There was very
little pushing and crowding done, every
one going out in order under the instruc.
tons of Mr.. Rockwell and his corps OF
teachers.
Monitors are appointed from the grades
whose duty il is TO fasten all the outside
doors wide open for the students to pass
out. The students, after they are out,
march around to the opposite door, where
they wait for the bell to ring before re-
entering the building and going to work.
If the bell does not ring il is signal there
is real fire and by listening for the bell
they are kept from going into a burning
building. A seperate set of signals is
given for each door so i'll case of egress is
cut off from one by fire, all may escape
through the other.
A Lively Contest.
Some time ago Supt. Rockwell insti
tuted an absent and tardy contest, the
conditions of which are that the grade
having the least number of UNI
excused absent and tardy marks for six
weeks might have a half holiday. The
contest between the seventh and eighth
grades was very close, the former hav-
ing six marks and the latter three. In
the high school the freshmen won over
the sophomores by one point, while the
juniors were not lin it, because of their
large number of marks. Mr.. Rockwell
announced in Chapel that the contest
will be on again for another six weeks
and this bids fair TO be a record breaker
as it was noticeable that when the half
holiday was given TO the freshmen last
Monday afternoon, some of the juniors
and sophomores grated their teeth as if
some desperate resolve were in their
hearts a resolve that would be carried
out during the next six weeks.
