Chas. Sample was called to Jones,
Mich, Friday by a message informing
him that his father was not expected
to live.
The postofiice was moved to its
new home in the government building
on Friday. On Thursday afternoon
and evening the building was opened
to the public and a large number
availed themselves of the privilege of
going through it. The new building,
which was described in detail in the
Register Of two weeks ago, makes a
fine home for the p~ostoffice and It's
comforts and c~onveniences are .hor-
oughly appreciated by the patrons.

The following good advice appears
in an editorial in the New England
Homestead" tits a good thing at
least once a year for every farmer to
stand aside and look at his place rs If
it belonged to some other fellow, and
pick out the things this other fellow
has left undone. Sticking too close
to the work sometimes narrows a
mans vision and makes him overlook
important things. BY going past a pile
of rubbish four or five times a day you
finally come to think it belongs there,
just as a man will sometimes plow
around on old ctnmn Unar nffpr Won
as if it were established by Divine
mandate" We imagine this is good
advice but is it not equally true of
every calling? II every one were to
get away in his closet and take an in
voice of faults and virtues and deter
mine to have a more favorable balance
at the next time of checking up, we
would come out purer and stronger
at the close Of these interviews with
self, and there can be no better time,
than now at the beginning Of a new
year, to take this inventory.
Final arrangements have been com
pleted for the appearance of Milton
Schuster and the "Graces of Musical
Comedy" in this city. The dates are
January %, 20, 80. The local engage.
ment will be at the Grand opera house
A scale Of prices never before ap
preached for smallness considering
the size, merit and reputation of the
attraction, will prevail during the en-.
tire stay of the company here. In ex
PLANTATION the extremely moderate
scale the proprietors of the attrac
ton declare that "Big Shows at Little
Prices" is at present the dollar max
ing byword in the amusement bust
ness. The fact that the company re
mains several days in one city means
an elimination of sixty-ive per cent o.
the advertising and railroad charges
attendant on the usual one night stand
attraction. This fact enables the man
agement to offer the usual dollar ant
a half attraction at a radical cut. The
princess Boulette" will be the fire.
of the graces to be offered. On sue
