The first of January a large number
of subscriptions are due us. Very frequently people come in and pay a considerable sum because of having neglected to settle annually. How, say
to yourself, if you owe the printer,
just before you make some of those
large resolutions to do this or thab the
coming year, that vou will call and
settle up this libtle matter and get the
burden of 3raall debts off your mind,
The flrst bhing a fellow says when be
comes in owing a considerable is that
he never order the paper. Weil, the
Sentinel costs less than two cents a
weeks, and yuur wouldn't be without
ib for bhat libble amount. See to ib
bhat by January 1, youf don'b owe us
one cenb, and that will be a good way
to start the new century.
Rev. D. Orofb of Boston gave his
lecture entitled, Kingdom Beautiful,
ab bhe opera house Monday evening.
He had an appreciabive audience and
as a .whole, left upon bhem a very good
impression. The one characberistic of
the speaker which mosb impressed us
is bhe excellent voice he has. Perhaps bhere is no Obher one characteristic in man's make-up which is
more attractive or repulsive than a
full, clear, rich, melodious voice, or a
little, squeaky, dwarfed articulation.
In the course of his remarks he lauded
Admiral Dewey; and no American can
do otherwise. He also spoke in highest terms of President McKinley; and
no American can take exception to
bhis. What a pity that so large a per
cent of the political minority dislike
to hear mentioned the most excellent
and magnanimous conduct of a man
who has acbed so nobly and so wisely
in directing bhe affairs of abate thru
these perilous times. Ho fair minded
American, no matter of whab political
views will deride a chief executive of
the United States who has served his
country so nobly. The rising generation ought to be taught to lionor our
chief executive, no- matter what party
elected him. The next member on
the course is given by Father F, 0.

An Indian Mound Opened.
An Indian mound on the top of a
bluff overlooking the Huron river at a
point a few miles below Ann Arbor,
was opened Saburday, Hovember 18,
byDi. W. B. Hinsdale, dean of the
bomo-opatbie department of tbe Oni-
versiby of Michigan. Within was
found a skeleton, bwo earbher. pots
and aboub a dozen small implements,
The skeleton, which vvas bhat of a.
man, was lying on an Oyal bed of
burnt clay. Its head-was pointed towards the Wesb. The position of the
bones seemed to indicate that the
body had been buried in a sitting
posture. On the skeleton's left hand
was a pile of bones not human.
Among these were the two front
teeth of a beaver. The implements
in the pots included several arrow
points, a number of awls made out of
antlers, a copper needle and a barbed
Ashing spear. The spear was also
made of an antler.
The teeth in the skull were ail
sound and were about one-third
ground down, the edges being flat and
smooth instead of pointed and sharp.
The two ey© teeth Were slightly forward of the others.
The mound was about 15 feet in
diameter, and originally several feet
high, but as it had been plowed over
for many seasons it had hecome somewhat reduced in size. The skeleton
was found abcut four feet below the
surface*
