city.

HERE AND THERE

Harbor Beach will have its Huron
avenue paved.
The annual meeting of the Macomb
County Athletic association will be held
in Mt. Clemens this year.
Cass City makes the provoking boast
that it is the prettiest town in Michigan.
What do you know about that.
The M. E.. choir in Croswell have
signed contract for lecture course
for next winter This same choir was
successful with course last winter and
is willing to try it again.
A new barn belonging to Charles
Finley near Valley Center was blown
down by the gale of last week Wednes-
day night and completely wrecked.
The loss is 81 900 with $1,000 insurance.
M. Ferguson, of Cass City, played the
bagpipes in the funeral procession of
VIM. Morrison at Almont last week.

A magnificent new Catholic church
is nearing completion in Harbor Beach
and will be dedicated in July. A new
bell weighing 1000 pounds was put
into the belfry last week and as many
as 1000 people visited the structure
last Sunday.
Roseburg people are very much put
out and Inconvenience because they
have no agent in their new depot.

with the Handy Brothers to deserve an
agent to perform the work they now
do for themselves.
Mrs. John Frank sustained many in
juries one day last week as she was
tying her horse in the barn on the farm
of M. M. Stone, near Sandusky. She
stepped on trap door and fell about 8
feet injuring head and shoulder and
breaking several ribs.
The vicinity of Deckerville has been
the stamping ground for much petty
thieving for many years in the line of
grain, chickens, provisions, etc. The
recent loss of quantity of grain by
Frank Sweet, led to the conviction Of
Samuel Townsend and Emerson Willis
and it is hoped that the end of theivery
is in sight, in that locality at least.
A movement is on foot to divide the
township of st. Clair, and bill was
recently introduced in the legislature
for that purpose. Property owners
along the st. Clair river front claim
they never get representation on the
township board and that they pay more
than their share of the taxes. If the
bill becomes operative it will set off
five sections of st. Clair township along
the river front into separate township.
