 ^PEALER W —
Kussell Mills was born in Great Bar-
rington, Mass., on the 7th of April,
1808. His ancestors came from the
state of Connecticut as do the ancestors
of a large number of families bearing
the name. In 1812, when he was four
years old, his father moved into western New York taking his numerous
family with him. It is said that his
mother had to stand the boys up in a
row at night and count them while on
their journey in order to be sure she
had not lost any of them on the road.
The subject of this sketch used to i-e-
late among other things concerning
this journey that he remembered seeing the red coated British soldiers on
their way to Green bush to be exchanged
as prisoners of war. When they
reached their journeys end they were
nearly in a starving condition, acouple
of stray sheep which showed marked
signs of having been chased by wolves,
furnished the first much needed supply
of food. Rochester at that time was
very small if it had any existence at all.
In 1832 he became affected with the
"Michigan Fever" as it was called at
that time, and came west, to hew out a
home and fortune for himself. He
came from Buffalo to Detroit by
steamer, I think the Mayflower. Had
an opportunity to buy 100 acres including the present location of the Michigan Central depot at Detroit at S10 per
acre. He had §600 with him which he
had saved while working on a farm.
He worked seven years for one man.
After looking over the land about Detroit he decided It was too wet and low
for farming purposes and struck out on
the old Chicago road, now Michigan
avenue, followed it, then a mere trail
until he reached what is now the
village of Saline. This was a beautiful
rolling country and took the travelers
fancy at once. After a few months stay-
in Saline and vicinity, stopping with
his brothers, George and Robert Mills,
and numerous friends and acquaintances, he. returned to "York State," as
he was woot to call it, for a brief visit.
He soon returned to. Michigan, however, making the trip aver land through
Ohio and wade preparations for permanent settlement. He married Harriet Newell Sumner, the daughter of
Jacob Sumner and sister of Artemas
D-. Sumuer, then residing near the village Miss Sumner was the first to
tench school in the township of Saline.
Af lev their marriage they resided on a
farm or clearing about one and one half
miles south-west of the village. On the
19th of March, 1885 his wife died. He
afterwards married his wife's sister,
Marcia Sumner, by whom he had five
children, the oldest Hiram R. Mills,
the next in order Harriet Newell Mills,
then Ruel Mills, Jane R. Mills aud M.
Lillian Mills, till of whom arestillliving
except the oldest daughter.
He has lived in the same township
over sixty years consecutively. Michigan has grown from a small insignificant territory to a great and powerful state. He came full of pluck and
perseverance and grappled with the
:-tern realities of toil and danger and
privation. His purpose once fixed, he
knew no such word as fail. By the
strictest economy and frugal habits lie
with the aid of his ever helpful partner
inlife was enabled to accumulate enough
of this worlds goods to rear his family
and place them in a position of comparative comfort and ease. Rigid economy, strict honesty, punctual payment
to every iium his duo and unyielding
perseverance were the maxims by
which he was guided and upheld during his early struggles in the wilds of
Michigan.
His early comrades and companions
are nearly all gone and only two persons now remain in the township of
Saline who were here in the yeuy 3832.
The funeral was held at the house
Monday afternoon and the body placed
in Oakwopd pemelev-y. Com.

hair to. become very harsh and dry. and
to fall so freely that she scarcely dared
to comb it. Ayer's Hair Vigor gave
her a healthy scalp, removed the dandruff, and made the hair thick and
glossy.
'TEMPORIS >ESTUS."
With peaceful play npon the golden shore
The wavelets break.   O'er sand and shingle
dank.
With glittering spray and wreaths of shining
foam.
The sapphire waters, with their silver crests
Gleaming   beneath   the   moonlight's   misty
heams.
Murmur full mournfully their lullaby.
'Tis eventide.   I stand upon the brink
Alone and listen to the moving wave—
"The music of the spheres"—that soft Tefrain
That ever and forever, wondrous sweet.
Flows inward on the pinions of the breeze—
That strange, mysterious, solemn undertone
Of ocean—music fraught with mystic dreams
Of things undreamed of, and untold desires
That like to hidden fires do burn and throb
Within each mortal breast, unquenchable,
Linking our soul side with the great, unknown!
So break upon Life's shore the waves of Time
With, ceaseless, ever changins roundelay—
The joys and sorrows of the day and hour—
The good and evil in their common course,        '
And ever and for ever secrctwise
The solemn undertone of human Fate,
Life's crowning mystery doth mark the beat   i
Of years, and touch the trembling chords '
Of hidden thought and action that entwine
Our past and present with the great unknown.

How Marlon Crawford Writes.
I asked Marion Crawford the other day
if it is a fact that he averages 6,000
words a day -when at work upon a novel,
as the newspapers have reported him as
saying. '"Yes," he replied, "I often
write that nrunber in a day. I never sit
down to write a stor3T until it is perfectly
and clearly outlined in my mind. I know
precisely what I am. going to say and
what I ain going to have iny characters
do; hence it is only the transfer of what
is in my mind to paper, and that is very
easy to ine."
"Does it not tire you?" I asked.
"Of course," said the novelist, "just
as any work tires a man."
"But literature is a pleasure to you, is
it not?"
"Not at all," came the perfectly frank
reply, "only so far as it gives me a good
living. I write novels because it pays
me to do so, and that is why I essayed
literature in the first place. It was not
from choice, I assure you. That is the
reason, I presume, why I read so few
novels. I have to •write them, and that
is enough."—New York Cor. Atlanta
Constitution.
The Salic Xaw of Succession.
M. Viollet has written an essay upon
the causes which led to females being
excluded from succession to the throne
of France. According to him, the principle was elaborated in the period of
about 130 years comprised between the
death of Louis X and the final triumph
of Charles YH and became a fundamental law of the monarchy when the
daughter of Louis X, the daughter of
Philippe le Long and the daughters of
Charles le Bel were dex)rived of their father's succession. These i)recedents established the law on the subject, but it
is not generally known that the history
of the disptited successions to the French
throne commenced by the indirect recognition of female rights.—London Times.
Making a. 1'oor Impression.
Sometimes we meet one whom we
would gladly please and proceed at once
to put our worst foot forward—even
that upon which we most hopelessly do
limp. We contrive, by satumalian aid,
to say precisely that which we would
wish unsaid, and to expose our weakest
side, even to weaken a side that is normally all right, during a 5 or 10 minutes'
interview on some occasion when our
good genius has "gone out to see a man."
Afterward we think over what we said,
and our sarcastic "hind thought" brings
up brilliant or at least sensible tilings
that we might have said hetter than not
if they had come to us.—Boston Commonwealth.
"Unexpected Wealth.
I have heard it said by a friend of the
late Albert "Way, the well known archaeologist, that he came by a fortune in this
wise: Crossing Pall Mall, he jostled an
old gentleman and discomfited him.
After mutual apologies and the interchange of civilities cards were exchanged, and ou each card was printed
"Mr. Albert Way." The older gentleman dying had no natural heir and left
his fortune to the other Albert Way.—
London Spectator.
Officials of One County.
Anson county, N. C, has a qtieer lot of
officials. The treasurer is badly crippled,
the coroner has but one arm, the register
of deeds is one legged, as are two commissioners; the keeper of the county home is
minus one arm, and the constable bears
the distinction of being the fattest man
in that position in the state.—Chicago
Herald.     	
A Point on Table Manners.
Spread bread on the plate, instead of
holding it on the hand. The bread
should lie on the rim of the plate while
being spread. It should lie on the plate
or rest against the edge of the plate when
mispread, the former preferred.—Housekeeper.
The soil of the northwest and in the
regions of the Rocky mountains seems
adapted to a fine growth, of forest trees,
and the lumber regions of New England, and especially those of Maine, are
noted for a rare production of forest
trees.
The public will perhaps he interested
j in hearing that M.'Zola, M. Dautlet and
\ M. Arsen# Houssays acknowledge red to
j be. their- favorite color, and that tho
' favorite animal of M. Armani Silvestro
' is the donkey.
Insomnia is fearfully on the increase.
The rush and excitement of modern
life so tax the nervous system that
multitudes of people are deprived of
good and sufficient sleep, with ruinous
consequences to the nerves. Remember, Ayer's Sarsaparilla makes the
weak strong.

troubled with Neuralgia and Rhematism,
his Stomach was disordered, his Liver was
affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell

and seven boxes of Backlen's Arnica Salve,
and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Catawba, O., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incurable.
One bottle Electric Bitters and one box
Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him entirely.

SEWING MACHINES
POPULAR?
BECAUSE LADIES
BUY them   LIKE THEM
AND TELL BSBds.
Many ladies have used our machines
twenty to thirty years in their family work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them a generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, ether
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, aud they are recognized everywhere as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the "No. 9," is the
result of our long experience. In competition with the leading machines of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Paris Exposition of 1SS9, as the best,
other machines receiving only complimentary medals of gold, silver and bronze.
The Grand Prize was what all sought for,
and our machine was awarded it.
