The citizens of Manchester are quite
discouraged over the fact that possibly
their cement plant will not start up in
the spring. It has been reported
there that some Michigan product can
be bought for §1 00 per barrel and they
think that if this is true they might as
well give up.
If the city is to be mulcted to the
tune of hundreds or thousands of dollars every time a person fails to see
where he walks or to keep his horse in
the roadway, there is very little inducement to he mindful of the scriptural exhortion to take heed to one's
ways. The premium is on the opposite course.—Ypsilantian.

citizens.—Belleville Enterprise.

an instant his foot tripped and he went

E. E- Goultry, who has been in this
vicinity for some weeks, representing
a Jayton, Ohio, grocery house, was
placed under arrest Monday night on a
charge of having violate^ the new
transient traders' law passed by the
last legislature. He gave bonds for
his appearance December 19.
The law's definition of a transient
merchant is quite explicit and seems
to fit this case, which is said to be the
first brought under its provisions. It
requires a transient merchant to apply
for a license before doing business, the
license costing 510 per day in towns of
less than §20,000. Violation of the law
is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine
of from $50 to §5.00, or 10 to 30 days in
the couuty jail.—Milford Times.

available, however," it goes on, "any
