Somebody has started to talk up the
matter of every farmer puttiug his
name on his barn and says they ought
to be encouraged by every newspaper.
Talk it up.. Interest will be redoubled
in a drive oyer a roa-d you are unfamiliar with, where people live whom you
kno iv.but not their places of residence.
An exchange says this is all right, but
the farmer should add in a foot note
if he has any marriageable daughters,
nice fruit, or any cider.
Snow flakes were to be seen flitting
through the air Tuesday, giving evidence that winter is at hand. The
weather took a change that caused
many a fire to be started, and overcoats and heavy wraps were found to
be conducive to comfort.
This has been a great .season. Not
only have fruit trees blossomed a
second and third time, but now the
despised way-side briars have gone one
better and not' only blossomed but
bourn fruit. tOne day recently, while
frost was ih the air and signs of snow
were plentiful, C. E. Sherman laid
upon our desk several freshly picked
branches of red-raspberry briars, bearing the red ripe berries. Their flavor
was prime, too. We expect some one
in 'most any day now with a cake of
freshly made maple sugar from recently gathered sap, .*

"Yince," Parrish & Carr's efficient
hostler, and two or three other young
men, came near going up in a chariot
of fire, Monday. "Yince" was cleaning up a stove in the old livery office
west of.Louch'sblaeksmith-shop; using
gasoline for the purpose, when "biff,"
the basin of gasoline and brush took
fire and Yince took a back somersault.
Will Eorbes, who was near by, attempted to put the fire out and his
clothes took fire. He ran out of the
barn, throwing off his jacket as he
went, Tess Louch heard the
racket and ran in and removed the
burning brush and dish of gasoline.
The fire was speedily extinguished by
vigorous whipping with an old coon
skin that lay handy by. Will Eorbes
was scorched some, but with no serious
results. Eor a few minutes, however,
barn and boys could have been bought
pretty cheap. "Yince" wasn't hurt,
but will probably not clean stoves
with gasoline Tight away, especially
when there is fire in them.

THE SEQUEL.
After the Fennville train robbery
occurred August 20th, and John Smalley was killed, Geo. Crane whose farm
ls-neaf Calkinsville, sent for Sheriff
Gray and bad a long talk with him.
This the Sheriff kept discreetly to himself until the proper time came, when
he wrote Sheriff Stratton of Allegan
county what he knew, and the result
was five or six visits .from Stratton.
Engineer Geo. Zibbell and Detective
Jakeway, and other conferences with
Crane, tbat absolutely fixed the robbery upon tlie right persons. Crane
said that'Smalley stopped at his house
the night of Eriday pre6eding the robbery and offered him inducements to
join in the undertaking, telling him
the train would have a certain sum
of money aboard destined for Eagle
Mills. Crane declined and 'Smalley
told him he.would fill him full of holes
if he betrayed him. Crane's revealing this led to other discoveries and
circumstances that pretty well satisfies the officers that they have tbe
right men now, but not all of them,
and Sheriff Gray has been hunting all
through the northern part of the county for the stolen horses of Mr. McDonald, of Deerfield, so when he started
last Saturday, he was looking for the
horses, and had Engineer Zibbell with
him for company. (?) They reached
Coldwater township in the night, and
went to Jim Brown's to find out if he
was at home. Asking him if he had
seen any one with horses of the description of Mr.McDonald's and finding
Yic.Taylor there, they went to Brinton
and spent the night. Sunday morning
they again went to Brown's and called
Taylor out. Zibbell said that the man
shot at him three times, and took the
valuables, had a peculiar voice that he
would recognize it any time. Zibbell
was so certain of Taylor's voice that
he told Sheriff Gray tc put him under
arrest. Brown was then called out
and Zibbell recognized him as the man
who guarded the' other side of the*
engine, and on Monday Sheriff Stratton of Allegan took them to- Grand
Bapids, where they were put through
a further course of identification. It
looks like a sure thing,that these men
will be convicted and that other arrests will follow. At any rate Isabella
county is to be congratulated on the
exposure of some of these characters
who have no visible means of obtaln-
a living, and that there is a prospect
of filling .theirljlace with more thrifty'
pdeple.—Mt.'Pleasant Tribune.      --
JAMES DUNCAN, SR.
The death of James Duncan occurred last Sunday, resulting from a tumor, after*a few . weeks- of sickness.
Though nearly '80 years of  age,  Mx*
Duncan was an active man  and bid
fair to live another decade, but for the.
development which took him off ;with.
comparative suddenness.-' The .funeral was conducted from the Congregational church, Tuesday, by Bev. S. A..
Long.
The deceased was a native of Seot-
lnnd, thatland.of a'rugged race,where
he was born in 1316, and  by  the  old.
style his birthday was April-2, but by .
the new it was April 13.   At the' age
of 1.8 he struck out for himself, coming,
to this western world, leaying parents,;
brothers, sisters and friends  behind.
BTe located first at Beaverton, Ont.,
but about a dozen years later he moved to' Rochester, "N.Y., having been
married meantime.   Later he moved
to Detroit and thence to Monroe county, where he engaged in farming.   It
was 20 years ago that he came to Yernon township, in Isabel! a .county, and
began the erection of what isnowa-.
fine farm .out of the then comparative--
wilderness.   His long residence in the
community and sterling qualities as a.
man endeared to himself many and
warm friends, who testified their esteem by attending his funeral service-"
in large numbers.
Of the children.born to Mr. Duneak-
one,   Mrs.  Lewis  Sherman   died ik
Wayne county fifteen years ago-  Toothers are Mrs. Wm. Worth, MonT^iE?-
county, Mrs. Thos. Masten of Yernqii,
John, who lives upon the* old homtj-
stead in Yernon township, William,
and Mrs, John McLaughin of Yernonj
and James Duncan of this city.
