Midland has now but one bank
where she did have two. The Midland
County Savings bank has absorbed its
competitor, the State bank.
The Midland county fair will be held
September 6, 7, 8 and 9. There will
be horse and bicycle racing the last
three days, September 8 being given
up to the wheelmen.

A new kind of fruit called a peach-
plum is being grown by Mrs. S. A. Foster, who sent a sample to this office.
It is one of the most delicious fruits
we have ever tasted It is largerthan
the average blue plum and shaped like
an apple.—Mt. Pleasant Democrat.
The citizens of St. Louis have decided to hold the 5th annual encampment of the soldiers' and sailors' association of northeastern Michigan, on
September 13, 14, 15 and 16,1898. The
citizens of St. Louis advertise that
they will make this the oigjest and
best encampment ever held in the
btate. Free entertainment will be
furnished all veterans and their families.
It will be called to mind that last
summer several settings of eggs of the
Mongolian pheasants were procured,
which were afterwards hatched under
hens, raised and finally turned out to
shift for themselves in the woods of
this vici nity. It is now known that at
least one of these birds thus liberated
has brought out a brood of chicks this
season, and that they are progressing
nicely toward maturity, and it is likely that the species have been successfully planted here.—Evait Review.
A horsewhipping affair with an accompanying tar and feather episode
occurred a few nights ago over in Osceola county in the town of Sherman
which adjoins our own county. For
the alleged ill treatment of his young
step-daughter, a man named Ad. Root
was tied to a tree and terribly whipped
and afterward treated to a coat of tar
and feathers, The mob which it is
stated consisted of twenty or twenty-
five persons with blackened faces took
Ed Root, a near relative of Ad Root,
and gave him a sound horsewhipping
for whipping his wife. Tbe affair is
being investigated by the Osceola
county officers.
Under the head of "Church Notes,"
an exchange has the following: "Did
you ever malce a study of the man who
does not take his home paper? He is
the man who neyer does anything to
help along any enterprise. He is tbe
man who goes the longest between
hair cuts and whom the swindler rfinds
the easiest prey. He :s always the
first to place a rosette of tobacco juice
upon your newly swept sidewalk, and
if you were to go to his house you
would tlnd half of the windows stuffed
with his and his wife's worn outpant?.
In short, he don't amount to anything
here, and when he dies both St. Peter
and the devil himself will kick on taking him."
Last Monday in company with Dr.
Kelly we visited the brick yard and
found everything working in good
shape, and one of the livliest places in
this vicinity, although not yet in full
working order. The yard in the future
expects to turn out from 25,000 to 30,-
000 each day that it runs, and from
the abundance of material on hand, as
fine brick as can be found in northern
Michigan. The yard gives employment to about twenty men and is one
of the best industries that could be
nlaced in Farwell. It is theintention
of the company to place a tile machine
in the yard next season and manufacture tile of all sizes, thereby increasing th3 capacity of the yard and give
employment to more men,—Farwelrj

and Mother:-r-
As I am ready to start on my journey down the Yukon river I thought
to write you once more, I wrote you
oyer three weeks ago and was in hopes
to hear from you again before leaving
here, but' am destined to disappointment, I guess. Well, I wish that I
could give you a description of this
camp; the world neyer saw anything
like it before and it will never be repeated again. Oities of from one to
three thousand people Hying almost
vvholiy in tents and everyone employed
at the same thing—building boats.
Cramps' ship yards are mere pigmies
campared with them, It is boat yards
on either side of Lakes Linderman,
Bennett and Tagish for a distance of
over 75 miles. There are over 5,000
boats built and under construction.
The Canadian police are making everyone register that passes over this trail.
Thev have to give their name and
place of residence, then they give you
a number for your boat and you are required to put the number on the boat,
the figures being six inches long so
that they can be seen from the shore.
By this arrangement they can tell who
went In each boat and also the number of people who pass In oyer this
trail.
Monday morning, 7 o'clock—Daylight all of the time; can tell what
time it is any time of the night inside
the tent as it simply gets twilight.
The weather is fine. We are camped
just below the snow line. I slept in
our boat last night. It is loaded and
wtj will start about 9 o'clock and before
this letter reaches you I will be pretty
well down towards Dawson City if
nothing happens me.
Well, I will give you a description
of our boat. It is 21 feet long on the
bottom, 4 feet 2 inches across the bottom in the widest place, at the bow it
is 3 feet wide, 6 feet 6 inches across
the top at the widest place, 4 feet
across the stern on top and is 30 inches
deep. It is a good staunch craft. We
cut the lumber witb one of those devil's instruments of torture—a whip
saw—and carried the lumber three
miles on our shoulders. (If you see
anyone wanting to make a
pleasure trip tell them to take this
one,) We have about 600 pounds of
pro -i«:ions each and will have about
3000 pounds all told lor three of us,
Mr. Abrams, Mr. Cochran and myself.
Good-bye. write me at Dawson City.

Do you realize the importance of placing your wares
daily before the public, no matter what the season is? There
are always customers to be se-
cured^by an attractive announcement of what you have to sell
with prices. There is no way in
which you can reach so many
people for so little money as
through the SestineI/. it goes
into the homes and is read by
every member of the household.

wanting." After .the congregation
had listened about an hour, Some began to get weary and went out; otlieri
soon followed, great to the annoyance
of the minister. Another person
started, wbereupon the parson stopped
his sermon and said: "as fast as you
are weighed pass Out!" Ho continued
his sermon some time after that, but
no one disturbed him by leafing.
