SUGAR FACTORY SHUT DOWN.

The Tuscola County Advertiser, pub
lished at Caro- said last week
"The almost continuous rain of the
past week has put a complete stop to
hauling sugar beets, the roads being quite
impossible for heavy loads. This condi-
ton is not only local but obtains through
ont the county, and yesterday scarcely
1000 tons of beets remained in the sheds.
This will make it necessary to shut down
the factory, probably Saturday at the
evening shift, and wait until freezing
weather enables growers to load cars and
haul to the factory by wagons as before.
A greater tonnage has already been
sliced during the present campaign then
was handled in the entire year of 1906,
passing the $4,000 ton mark Wednesday
and about $1,000 tons are expected to
come in after the shut down"

THOSE XMAS PHOTOGRAPHS.

Owing to an advance i'll the price of
material we are obliged to make 20 per
cent raise in the price of all platinum
photographs. However, in appreciation
of the very generous patronage of the
people of Alma during the past spring
and summer, and to enable all who de-
sire photographs for Christmas gifts to
get them at the same old price, we will
not make the change until Jan. I, 1907
Please make an appointment when
you can, that we may arrange the time
to your best advantage, as well as our
own. Please come early if you can that
we may have time later for the ones who
cannot.
Make up your mind today if you can,
for there will be some who cannot until
tomorrow. Get your orders in this week
if you can, for some of those elegant
frames also.
No better or more acceptable Xmas
gift can be thought of than an elegant
framed platinum photograph, if you do
not care to be photographed yourself

mother thinks:
In this world there's no jewel so
precious,
No flower that bends with such
grace,
Neither diamond. rose or lily
Can compare with my darlings face.
