A Clinton lad has slaughtered nearly
1,000 sparrows this summer.
The Farmers' picnic at Whitmore
Lake, last Saturday, was a hugh affair.
Lightning killed two head of young
cattle for a Grass Lake farmer last
week.
A little eight-year -old Dundee boy
has suffered a terrible-affliction, having
lost his eyesight.
Ann Arbor. Maccabees talk of organizing a uniformed rank. The order is
growing very rapidly there.
Ann Arbor is liable to be "froze out"
of her refrigerator factory by Duluth
capitalists who are trying to coax it up
there.
Jacob Streeter, of Lima, jumped from
the top of threshing machine to the
ground, one day last week, and broke
both legs.
The only sou of Bishop' Gillespie, of
Grand Rapids, died in Hartford, Conn.,
a few days since and funeral was- held
at Ann Arbor, Monday.       '
And now Teeumseh sees a big threshing machine factory looming up in the
dim distance. Teeumseh has men of
the right calibre it appears.
Last week's heavy rain undermined
the wall protecting, an embankment near the Clinton flouring mill,
causing $1,000 worth of damage.
Dr. Nichols, one of Ann Arbor's dentists, has quit pulling teeth for a few
weeks, and will pull the rosy peaches
from the trees in his large peach orchard.
Chicken thieves are getting in their
nefarious work about Chelsea. A well
loaded shot gun in the hands of a good
marksman is none too severe for- the
prowling scoundrels.
A cow belonging to Mrs. S. J. Cam-
burn, of Macon, has so little regard for
her owner as to fall into a well and get
drowned*" last «»eek. No "milk of kindness" about that act.—Adrian Press.
Adrian Press: The census of Woodstock shows her to be in exactly the
same notch in which she stood ten years
before—with a population of 1,434.
This is what we call holding things
pretty level.
fflhe T-. As A. A. road, is - contemplating building a $100,000 iron bridge
across the Huron, at Ann Arbor, in
place of the high wooden structure
now used. It will be welcomed by patrons of that road, as the present one
does look a little ' 'pokish."
Dr. Batwell, of Ypsilanti, was seriously burned Monday morning.while lighting the kitchen fire. He used what he
supposed was kerosene oil, but by mistake the crocery clerk had put gasolene
inthe^can, and when the oil poured
in the stove was ignited the doctor was
badly burned by the flash of flame.
Dundee Reporter: A big load of oats;
Saturday, Chas. Toombs, living in the
western part of the township, drew to
market the jumbo load of oats. It contained 813 bushels and 24 pounds of
oats, and was drawn by one span of
horses. The load, including t truck,
weighed nearly 12,000 pounds. It was
hauled to the elevator at Rhea.
That John Shreder, of Clinton township, is something of a wheat grower,
is quite evident from a little sale which
he made yesterday. "William Hayden
purchased his last year's crop, 2,000
bushels, and hie this year's crop, 4,000
bushels, or 6,000 bushels in all, at one
dollar a bushel. He had 180 acres averaging over SO bushels to the acre.—
Teeumseh News.
Register: Arrangements have been
made between Messrs. Mack, Schmid
and Hiscock'and J. M. Swift & Co., by
which the Sinclair mill will soon be
started up again. The former will form
a company for the running of the mill
and will employ Mr. Swift as their superintendent. All the proceeds of -the
business beyond a seven per cent dividend will be used to pay off the mortgage of $33,000 which is. held by
Messrs. Mack, Schmid and Hiscock.
Chelsea Standard: Monday morning
last,,at about five o'clock, Mr. Cyrus
AVard, aged nearlj- 66 years, and resid-
y/g with his wife at Sylvan, arose and
deliberately cut his throat in four different places with a razor, expecting to
bleed to death over a vessel. His wife,
thinking he was asleep (he having
covered his head with a blanket) went
down stairs and prepared breakfast,and
then called him. He' responded by-
stating that he did not wish to, eat as
he didnot;expect to live long. Upon
investigation: his injuries were discovered and Dr. Palmer -sent for, who
sewed up the wounds. Mr. Ward stated
that he had contemplated- the job for
several days and was sorry lie was not
successful.' No reason can Tjo given
why he should'have committed the act.
Good character ■ is the crown and
glory of life and is the noblest posses-'
sion of man. Our daily habits, whether
good or ill, make-up our character; if
we strive to form only good habits we
will not have the disadvantage of contending with bad ones, for as the old
saying is "It is hard to teach an old
dog new tricks." Everyone should
make the possession of good character
his chief desire. He should always
have a hig-h aim; and if he does not attain the wished-fox* goal, he should
strive to be as near as possible to it; if
one does not look up, he. • certainly will
look down.
"Fitch they behavior Ion-, thy projects high.
So shalt thou humble aud magnanimous be.
Sink not in spirit; who aimeth atthe sky
Shoots higher much than he that means a tree."
When habits are once formed they
manifest themselves without any effort
on the part of the individual and when
we try to oppose them, then it is that,
we see how strong they have become.
Habits at first seem small things, hut
when they come to be our very character then they are the greatest things
that touch our human existence, and if
it is true character that is formed it
acts right at all times, whether in secret or in the sight of man. All our
habits formed in youth go with us
through maturity, either aiding or hindering in a greater or lesser degree.
It is indeed scarcely possible to overestimate the importance of training
the young to virtuous habits. In them'
they are the easiest formed, and when
formed they last for life; like letters
cut on the bark of a tree, they grow
with age. The first start on the road
of life determines the direction and the
destination of the journey. Hence the
wisest habit of all is the habit of care
in the formation of good habits. Even
happiness itself may become habitual.
Some people have a habit of looking* at
the bright side of things and others at
the dark side. How much better it is
for us always to be looking for the
bright side, and, even though the dark
often presents itself before as, we should
bear in mind the former and earnestly
seek after it, only looking at the latter
to appreciate more fully the bright side
of life. As we sometimes see bits of
blue sky through dark clouds, so* we" see
a person's character through the rifts
that now and then appear in the mysterious cloud of habit.
Indeed character consists of little
acts, well and honorably performed;
"daily life being the quarry from which
we build it up," One of the marked
tests of character is the manner in
which we conduct ourselves towards
Others. Courtesy to superiors, inferiors and equals, is a great pleasure, not
only to them but to ourselves. For
does it not help us along day by day to
receive pleasant greetings and words of
encouragement, and although oft-times
it may seem exceedingly difficult to
appear cheerful, yet we should strive to
put aside our cares and to cultivate the
good habit of courtesy, thus making
our lives brighter and more useful. It
is a question whether politeness is not
almost a lost art. Not that there is
any less of etiquette or mannerism,
(rather the contrary) but there is certainly less of habitual politeness. We
hardly realize that our daily actions
and motions have become so habitual
that mental actions in regard to them
Free, Free.
To all persons who have.attained the
age of fifty years, who have no natural
likeness of themselves, if they cut this
out and present it at my studio, I will
furnish them with a nicely finished
cabinet photograph free oi charge.
Please, be not too sensitive to avail
yourself of this liberal offer.

feeling of extra exertion. In this same
way we should he polite without knowing it, without casting a thought upon
it. Barents should aim not to have
