Spurious half dollars have made their
appearance at several towns throughout
the state. The coins are of the 1906
and 1907 year and bear close resem-
blance to the real half dollar except
that they are light in weight.
An unusual coincidence was observed
on Superior street last Friday afternoon.
There were twenty or more rigs on the
street and to sixteen of them we're hitch
ed white horses. Instead of the pro-
verbal black Friday it must have been
a white one.

The Petoskey Independent of lsat
week in speaking of Paul Delevan's GO
ing to South America with the Carnegie
expedition said: "There is a young fell
low down in Alma, Mich, who has a
Job to South America this winter to
make up catalogue of the stars.
By inadvertance it was stated in the
Record of Sept. I'd that Nelson Bros.
had ceased the manufacture of pillow
points for retail trade and would only
manufacture for the wholesale trade.
The item should have said they will con
tinue to manufacture for the retail
dealer but will cut out the wholesale
trade.
Marshal Sprague went to Big Rapids
Monday to interview a former Alma
young man who had departed from this
city and forgot TO pay up his board bill
at the Fern Hotel He found the youth
at work in Big Rapids and had little
difficulty in refreshing bis memory. The
fellow paid the bill to Mr.. Sprague and
also paid him the costs of the trip. He
afterward confessed ne would be more
careful in the future.
Two picked ball mines representing
the married men of the North and South
sides of Superior street met at Davis
field last Thursday afternoon for a ball
game. The North side benedicts won
in decisive fashion by a score of % to
?. There is talk, however, of the game
being protested as it is extremely doubt
full if two or three of the star artists on
the North side are really able to prove
their right to the title OF benedict.

The Methodist Episcopal church has

church bulletin The bulletin is print
ed phamplet and contains the hours and
dates of the various church and social
meetings for the ensuing week and a

the day The bulletins are furnished
at the expense of the men of the church

Wheat is up to 93 cents bushel and
the outlook is that it will be higher still
In speaking of the future price of wheat
a regular buyer Of wheat said last week;
wheat will doubtless go above the dol
lar mark this year The crop in the
United States and Canada is above the
average but there is big falling off in
the production of wheat in foreign
counties On this account the foreign
demand will stimulate the home market
and bring the price up higher than it
usually is

tice to all, that anyone found violating
the ordinance prohibiting the riding of
wheels on the sidewalks will be prose-
cuted This ordinance has been in eff
feet some time but has seldom been en-
forced There have been instances,
however, when the complaint was made
by parties for spite work. Mr.. Sprague
is helpless in such instances as where a
complaint is made he has to bring the
offender to court From now on he pro-
poses TO enforce the ordinance. If it is
to be enforced against one it should be
enforced against all and he will make no
determinations. There is no pecuniary
profit to be gained as Mr.. Sprague
works on salary, hence no one can sc-
cuse him of selfish interest.
