Well,
'■Wish you merry Christmas!" is the
sentiment of the hour, and the Senti-
£tn"ex, wishes to be among the first to
"bid good cheer and Mappings to all its
readers and to everybody else. Christmas isnit exactly Christmas, after- ail,
without the snow and the merry bells,
but except for that, it is the same old
"time. Of course it dont seem just
the same as it did when we were boys
and girls and really believed Santa
Clans bounced out of the fire place
with his pack on his back and his pipe
in his "mouth! But then nothing seems
just as it used-to and never will again,
but the bright eyes and expectant
looks of the little ones show that they
are living over the same old happy.an-
tacipations that from generation to
generation will still, be the same so
long as young'hearts'.are child like and
old hearts love them.
. Sich presents are not essential to
Christmas, though we all wish, we
could give.them. It is the love that
gives them, after all, that points back
to the one great" Gift that has made
the world better ever since. Many
feel too poor to buy presents this year,
bat after all, they 4nd some way to do
it, and little packages are smuggled
into the house at some favorable moment, and even now, perhaps lie
hid, waiting Christmas morning to
make glad some- heart that, has not
dared, hope.such a thing.' It isn't the
-rich that enjoy Christmas most. They
all know they will  get  something
' ISo, it is, the child of .distress that
<jried itself to sleep the night before
because it knewl"father was too poor,"
but next morning'.woke to find in the
coarse stocking a nice red apple and
perhaps a little candy or even a- little
doll. Did you ever have a Christmas
like that? If not, you don't know
half what Christmas means.
HT THE CHUECHES.,
The Sunday schools have been making the usual—perhaps we" might say
unusal—preparations for Christmas
for the children have been busy for
'several weeks practicing songs and
recitations. Tonight (Eriday) the
•Congregational school presents a tree
and concert. An arch will extend
across the front of the pulpit, and
tables will be arranged in convenient
form to hold lots of good things for
the little ones, who have practiced
some pretty songs.  •"■ •
At the Methodist church tomorrow
night songs and recitations will occupy
the first of the evening, followed by
the unloading of a beautiful tree. Considerable pains have been taken in
preparation and there is sure to be an
interesting program.'    ■
The Baptist school also has its exercises tomorrow night. Songs,
choruses and recitations will fill up
the first of the program. A beautiful
tree has been prepared to" delight the
little hearts.

ABOUT QTJB "NEIGHBORS.
A Model Store.
S. C. Eirkbride has fitted up his new
quarters in the Doherty. block with
unusual elegance and comfort, and
will: move therein Monday. He has
put in entirely new shelving, tables
and show cases, which, with the excellent light that the room has, will
make a very model salesroom. At the
right as you enter, will be the depart-'
ment for ladies' shoes, just beyond on
the same side will be hats, and still
beyond, gents' boots and shoes. While
on the opposite side at the rear will
be the gents' furnishing goods. At
the left in front will be dry goods and
ladies' furiiishings. In conveniently
arranged cases through the middle of
the room will be the smaller furnishings. In the rear right hand corner
will be the office, and cash desk, sufficiently elevated to command a perfect view of the entire room. Here
will center the lines of the cash carrier system.' The basement has been
fitted up for a store room, which will
also be the cloak room in the fall. Altogether the store will be a model of
convenience.
TMrty ©ays in. Detroit.
Abe McEall has a wife at Dodge,
but failed to provide the necessaries
of life for her and her children, while
he was taking it comparatively easy
at the Central house, as she thought,
working around and occasionally driving buss to the trains for his board.
His wife and children called on the
superintendents of the poor for assistance, who had McEall arrested for
non-support. . He had his examination
Monday, and Tuesday officer Pease of
Harrison took him to Detroit to spend
the holidays. But through errors in
committment he was not accepted and.
was returned the next day, The case
will probably be carried further as
there is something to say on the other
side as well.

Earwell Register: Erank McLellan
has sold his stock of groceries and notions to James McLellan and has purchased the Potter building near the
depot. He will fit it up and use it for
a furniture store.
Last week D. A. Blodgett shipped
here from his'farm in ErostlO yearling
colts of Percheon and English Shire
breed. Mr. English, Ms farm superintendent is now in Chicago buying
fifty yearling steers which will be shipped to the Erost farm. Heretofore he
has paid no attention to cattle breeding on tMs farm, only horses and sheep
being raised. In the spring he will
go extensively into the breeding of
Jersey cattle. New buildings on the
latest plans from the best stock farms
will be erected. Under the efficient
supervision of Jas. Delaney, Ms farm
in this county has been made the finest and most paying of the list owned
by him. Its broad fertile fields are a
bright oasis in the desert of c:pine barrens" which surround them, and from
which by perseverence this magnifi-
cient garden has been erected.—

2Tews and Express: In releasing the
big Ann Arbor steamer, which recently went ashore at Sturgeon Bay,- Wisconsin, it required the best modern
wrecking appliances that are effective
upon the lakes. After lightening 100
tons of coal and 400 barrels of apples,
the big steamer was pulled into deep
water by the steamer Thomas H.
Smith, assisted by six steam tugs.
The- Sturgeon Bay life-saving, crew
rendered valuable assistance to wreckers, and the Ann Arbor boat received
but very little damage. The efforts
of this big steamer to solve the problem of transit across Lake Michigan
in bulk is being watched .with great
interest^.

branch logging railroad east of Coleman, seven miles long. Eivemifes;
east of Coleman he proposes to start a

there, with a capacity of 40,000 daily,

to Holcomb & Co., of OMo, who are

Broke Three Bibs.
Charles Brown and son Lester, were
loading hay Monday at the Allison
farm, three .miles east of the city,
when the former met with* an accident
which confines Mm to Ms house with
broken ribs. The two had finished a
big load to bring to town and were en<-
gaged in fastening the end of the
binding-pole, one end having already
been fastened, when it broke from the
heavy strain, throwing the old gentleman, who was standing astride3 the
pole, to the ground. He fell with Ms
left side across a small knotty log,
breaking three ribs. He was brought
to Ms home on Maple street where
Dr. Sanford attended^ Mm, making
Mm as comfortable as possible. Mr.
Brown is rather unfortunate as it was
only last summer that he was thrown
from a wagpn and half killed.

Cadillac News and Express: A press
club has been formed at the Hniverity
composed of the young men who intend to become journalists. They are
arranging for a course of lectures along
the line of their chosen profession,
and they'r going to start off with a
banquet. The young men know what
they are preparing for. They want to
be journalists. Journelists spend
much of their time in banquets and
lectures, wMle newspaper men spend
the greater part of the night waiting
comments on the lectures and making
up good speeches for the banquet orators.
Cleaver: A settlement has at last
been made between the city and Hayes
township. A committee of the council consisting of Mayor Quinn, Aids.
Cummins and Witherspoon met with
the township board of Hayes on Monday and divided the real and personal
effects. By terms of the settlement
the city comesinto possession of Maple
G-rove cemetery and township library,,
consisting of about. 200 volumes of
standard works, enclosed in a fine walnut case. The township retaines the
desk, books and fixtures of the clark's
office. No money passed either way.
The library will probably be placed at
the disposal of the board of education,
who will put the same into the public
school building,' which, together with
the books alreadjr on hand, will equip
the schools in excellent shape for reading.
Mt. Pleasant Democrat:' D. W.
Campbell, the tonsorial artist in the
basement of the Nelson block, has two
canary birds, both excellent singers,
which he named respectfully Benjamin Harrison and' Grover Cleveland.
Mr. Campbell solemnly avers, and offers to produce other testimony and
affidavits, that from the next morning
after election, -at which time he read
the announcement of the result, until
he read aloud, in the shop, the president's last message, his Ben Harrison
bird never sung a note, in fact was as
dumb as an oyster; but while he was
reading the message the little warbler
commenced to sing and made the
whole block resound with melody.
The only thing that looks shady about
this is Campbell having read the message,
