Complaint is frequently made that
country editors are not good business
men. This certainly cannot be said of
an eastern editor who offered a prize
of $50 for the best written proposal of
marriage by a lady. He selected one
written by a rich widow, and answered with a letter of acceptance. When
the lady refused to marry him he sued
her for breach of promise. That man
has missed his calling—he should have
been a lawyer.
A fine lot of the very latest type
designs have been added to the Sbisti-
isfel job department, and we are now
better prepared than ever to do the
very best kind of job work at the lowest living prices. Remember, we can
do anything in the line of printing
and there's no earthly reason why anyone in Clare county should send outside for job work. Members of township boardSj township treasurers, in
fact all town and countv officers should
bear this in mind when in need of any
of the necessary printing.

Spring is a better time to set trees
than fall, because, at that season trees
are beginning to grow, and will, therefore, be in a condition to respond
more readily to treatment, while in
fall they are unlikely to establish
themselves before cold weather sets
in. Preserve the roots to the fullest
possible extent, and do not disturb
the tree until after it has ripened and
has shed its foliage. If the roots are
cut away, as they almost invariably
are in spring planting, be sure to cut
back the top proportionately.—Eben

Journal.
