There was a religious meeting at the
Bradley school ia Sheridan, "Wednesday evening. About an hour or more
alter its close and shortly after ■ Mr.
Seed's family had gone to bed, neigh?
foois discovered fire in a barn across
the road from his house* In the ham
Mr. Heed had stored all the implements of, a large farm, a reaper being
tlie OEly exception.
The neighborhood, known as Reed's
•cornel's, is quite thickly settled, and
soon there was a small crowd present
at tlie scene, -but the fire had obtained
a great headway so that it was Impossible to save anything from the burning building. Cultivators, harrows,
mower, rakes, etc., and several tons of
hay were destroyed.
The cause of the fire can only be sui3
SBseci. Mr. Eeed says that he did not
Snow he had an enemy, but- can • see
no way that a fire could have occurred
unless it had been set, although it
might .possibly have occurred from
some one loafing and smoking there,
but this is improbable at this season of
tbe year. ;"
There was $600 insurance on the
TauiMing and contents which is a little

around.

Down at St< Louis, Monday, an unreasoning mob tried to hang a young
man because a young girl charged him
with assault. If he had nbt been an
athletic fellow and managed to get
away they would have murdered him
before they learned, as they did, that
the girl'was weak minded and was "in

phool is a crowd of them.
Midland county has a farmers' institute on January 10 and 11. Other
counties have them. They are carried
on in some respects like a teachers'
institute, being conducted by able experts with the assistance -;of local
talent. The movement, we believe,
eminates from the agricultural college and should be met by hearty cooperation everywhere. Farmers as
well as merchants need especial training in some lines. Do Clare county
farmers want one?

THE GOIiDEN BAY.
Far off, and faint as echoes of a dream,
The songs Of boyhood seem,
Yet on our autumn houghs, unfiownwith spring,
The evening thrushes sing.
The hour draws near, howe'er delayed and late,
When at the Eternal Gate
We leave the words and works we call our own,
And lift void hands alone
For love to fill.   Otjmakeaness of sour '
Brings to that gate no toU;.      ^       *
Giftless we oome/to.Hua,who all things gives,
And live "because He lives.    *

"Had the pine barons of Michigan
been able to foresee the present prosperous condition of the hardwood'market they would now feel like kicking
themselves," said a well-known hardwood dealer the other day. "A few
years ago-they lumbered large tracts
of pine and after moving all that was
valuable of the timber, permitted the
land to revert to the state for taxes.
It is heedless to state that they much
regret their inconsiderate action, as
the hardwood on those same lands has
become very valuable and the demand seems to increase. The^ present
season has been the best for the hardwood industry that the Michigan
manufacturers have ever enjoyed. The
present owners do not feel like disposing of their timber, as they are confident that they can soon get better
prices'than are now obtainable. Capitalists are beginning to pay special
attention to the hardwood industry in
the upper part of the lower peninsula.
