Last week there was a splendid
exhibition of muddy streets at the
railway station. One thank -you-ma'
am was said to be bottomless, but
when it comes to discussing mud

near the station in Lancaster last
week.
Among those who came to Lam
caster last Friday to attend the con-

fooling speckled trout as is seen any
where in these parts. He may try
it on some of the streams of central
Michigan before he gets back to Lam
caster.

on that day. The growers of raisin

thou sleepy retail merchant. (None

Superintendent Brockert has
