Burdick of Isabella county for a joint

The Ii*. & P. M. officials bave sent
strict orders to their agents that they
must permit no loafing or hanging
around the station by young persons
having no business there; that the
parents of such persons as are in tbat
habit be notified to keep tbem away
and if this does notsbop tbem the aid
of the officers will be invoked.
Ten freight cars and an engine were
badly wrecked on the F- &. P. M. at
tbe Lake ice house, Tuesday night.
One Ereight stopped for a car of ice,
anda'though the crew had lights out
behind, owing to the dense darkness
they were not seen by another train

Sam Bettes, the cow-boy preacher,
who created quite a sensation by the
manner of his preaching here a couple

evening in Duncan's ball, but did not
keep his appointment, being called
away, we understand, on account of
tbe death of his mother, It is reported
that ne will preach here next Mondav
evening.
The way to cultivate a taste for the
good, the true and the beautiful, is
to place yourself in their surroundings.
One of these opportunities will be
given you next Monday evening, when
Hon. Washington Gardner Will lecture
ab the M. E. Church. One evening
like that Which that of next Monday
will be, will be worth more to you than
witnessing all the -'cheap" plays ever
presented in tbe history of the modern
stage.
