The Sentinel is in receipt of q
letter from friend in Dunedin, Fla.
who inadvertently neglected to dis
close his or her identity. The letter

There will be sold at public auc-

Mich, January IA, and continued un-
til all animals are sold, approximately
564 head of horses and mules. These
animals are being sold because the
government has no further use for
them and not because they are worn
out. A great number of excellent
animals will be found among this lot
and doubtless can be purchased at a
reasonable figure.
The A. l. Root Co. are now manu-
featuring bee hats, where heretofore
they bought them.
The past week has been ideal for
skating and the pond at the rear OF
the Old Pythian Sisters Home has
been a rendezvous for hundreds OF
people, old and young, who have con-
gregated there at all hours of the
day and night to enjoy the pleasure
of this exhilerating and healthful
sport. No less than 200 persons
were on the pond at one time last
Sunday, and it is probable that no
merrier crowd has been seen in Me-
dina for some time. The surface of
the ice was as smooth as glass and
the more experienced skaters de-
fined about every conceivable outline
from a figure 8 to pigeon wing.

Medina boys, met by chance on the

fore sailing for the states, and were
together on the homeward voyage.
