Wickwear have succeeded to the mantle of the late P. S. Toland, editor of the Cass City Enterprise. Their lirst number is an earnest of success. We wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Henry Johnson for her kindness in presenting us with some excellent heads of cabbage. AVe assure her they were thoroughly appreciated. Doctor Langan has been troubled very much for some little time past by petty tliieves. He says he will give a nice .green ten-dollar-bill to the person who will criminate the thief. Klde r J. II. l'aton will preach in the Prick Chapel, next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. He will speak only in the evening. The Church extends a cordial invitation to the public to attend. In the stead of Casson Stonehouse, our worthy marshal who has just re signed, Donald McArthur lias been ap pointed to see to the lighting of the village and collecting the residue of the taxes. Men have been at work this week on Dickey's grain house near the depot. It is evidently the purpose to put a new foundation under the building and. build some new platforms on which to do the loading. There was a Sunday School social at the Menerey church last Wednesday. It took the place of the annual picnic which is generally held. There were about &U0 in attendance. All enjoyed a pleasant time. We would like to suggest to the ed itor of Saturday Sayings that he give credit, if nothing more, when he coolly clips a half-column article from the Expositor. The last, occasion of this kind, (which Is not the first we may say) is an article on the falling stars which are quite conspicuous at this time of year. It will, without doubt, be an ac ceptable piece of news to the worthy gentleman, that whatever is quoted in our columns is invariably accredited. We request others to be as generous. While Joseph I. Collins was in De troit attending tne imposition ne se cured a sample of binder twine manu factured on the grounds uy a represen tative of the Deering Twine Works. This is said to be the first twine ever made in Michigan. W. H. Palmer has been having his store shingled. He is also pushing the work in his mill. The two double roller-crushers have arrived and are at the mill. He has been fitting up the mill building so that it now takes on a thriving appearance. P. P. Noble is contemplating turning the Yale Dank into a Savings Pank under the State law. Mr. Noble says this will be done within a short time and the capital increased to the require ments of the law. In which case there will be five other stockholders. We have just received a very flatter ing subscription from the Pev C. W. Parnum, of Pyron, who was formerly engaged on this circuit. Mr. Parnum writes of the Exrosrron; "It is a wel come visitor in our home. We are always anxious to get the news from Yale." Sallow and leaden-hued complexions soon give place to the loveliest pink-and-white, when the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla is persisted in. and cosmet ics entirely abandoned. Nothing can counterfeit the rosy glow of perfect health, which blesses those who use this medicine. Harvey Drake and W. 11. (lilletthave undertaken the management of the lately defunct Progress. They will rechnsten the paper the Yale Democrat and run it as a democratic organ. The democrats of the town met Saturday evening and decided to heartily support the new publication. Pev. Ira Pillman and wife took their turn at excitement last Sunday. While driving near Pidleman's school house their horse shied at a reaper which was covered with a blanket. The road be ing narrow they were thrown off into the ditch, though without morer serious injuries than a few scratches and bruises. Pusiness, in our manufacturing in terests, has been especially good for some time past. All the mills are run ning to their fullest capacity. The Woolen Mill, the Flax Mill and the Poller Mill are 11 running far into the nicht. This does not detract at all from other business. All interests in the town seem to be above par. Ten Sophomores of the Agricultural College at Lansing thought to take the freshness out of a Freshman named E. A. Austin last Saturday night, and so ducked him in the river. Austin "squealed." The mighty ten have just been expelled by the Mightier faculty. Among this prosuted number we read the name of J.J. Vincent of this place. There has been great deal of win dow breaking of late. Such a cowardly act can not be described in terms too odious. Itisto be hoped that if the boy or man, who ia doing it, is caught he will be prosecutfd entirely without mercy. The latest occurrence of this dastardly kind was an attempt to break windows in Ward's saloon. The stone struck luckily on ilie sash and the glass escaped. We quote the .following from the Capac Journal. 'While Mrs. Edward Pratt, of Yale, wtis visiting in town last week, she fell -on a defective walk on Mill street just -west of the Could house and hurt her arm. The street commissioner shocld investigate that walk." So say we. The lady has been accustomed to the elegant walks of Yale and was no dcubt somewhat dis comfited by Capac's boulevards. Secretary Wark -will receive sealed tenders, for the letting of the eating house privileges on the' grounds during the three days of the fair to be held Sept. 'SO, and Oct. J and 2. The bids will be opened Saturday, Sept. 27, at 2 o'clock p. m. at which time said privil eges will be let to the lowest responsi ble bidder; Mr. Wark reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Address John Wark, Secretary, Yale, Mich. Py a strange coincidence we were made to say in our last issue that Jas. Wallace was the mac who played tru ant from his party at the State Pepnb lican convention la Detroit. We meant to convey ne such meaning. All that we would have said was that Mr. Wallace did attetxl the convention. That he himself stood by the instruc tion given in the county convention is too well known to need further argu ment. Our Davy Sexton of the North End, comes out this week with a new and handsome sign. On one side is the le gend "Lunch Room". On the reverse side is "Epicurean . when question ed as to where he got his (Ireek, we were informed that we had no business to be axing such simple questions: that if we had gone to school as long a3 he nau wici the hedge school-master, sure au he would know without axing that that was Irish for swate cider be jap- ers cripes. Last evening the people of the village were treated to a very pleasant enter tainment by the generosity of the young people and of Misses Jesse Prown and Pearl Mathews in particu lar, i he principal features of the en tertainment wero two amusine dia logues which were both very credibly done. "The Dress Reform Convention ' was excellent and ant to life. The costumes were especially good. The darkey duet given by Fred Palmer and Jert .lardine was the most amusing part of the programme. It was well taken. The speakintr by Miss Prbwn and others was a credit to themselves. Miss Rapley and Miss Elliot met with general applause also. The opening and closing songs by the younger ladies were quite prettify executed. Alto gether those who attended f lt them selves thoroughly repaid, and hope they may hear another slralllar entertain ment soon. We owe it to our generous corres pondents to thank them for the hearty support they are lending towards mak ing the Exi'osrroii one of the most complete of county papers. For sever al weeks our columns have been very full of these excellent letters from neighboring towns. Py their kind assistance our paper is finding a wider circulation all over the country. It is therefore one of the best mediums of advertisement for merchants who would reach the people. They have grown to wait each week for its arrival on account of tho wide extent of news it covers. The fair management are repairing the track at the fair ground. To do this the town's people have contributed money and labor and are doing gladly their share of the work. They now wish the farmers about would assist in the work. This is a big job. They de sire to repair the track in many ways, besides making it more nearly a half mile in length. Now as this is of as great interest to the farmers as any they should take hold and volunteer to contribute a day's work with their team some time within a week or two. If any one finds that he will be able to as sist in this work let him inform C. P. Ilolden. It is to be hoped that many of our friends about will contribute to this work. It is of great Importance in making the fair a success. While little Willie Tuflleld was re turning from school Monday afternoon, about five o'clock, he chanced to cross over the street near Sargent's grocery store. Henry Pratt was driving up the street at the time at a gait, which on lookers say was beyond that prescribed by the village ordinance. He did not see the little fellow ahead .of him until he had struck him. The wheels of the buggy passed directly over the child's face, the front wheel cutting a wicked gash across his mouth and chin, and the rear wheel passing just above the ear and cutting to the skull. The scalp was pealed away so as to make a sorry wound. Unconsciousness at once in sued from which he did not recover until Tuesday night. At present he is doing well, but ho will always Rhow some ghastly scars as a result of his accitknt. PERSONAL. (o, W. Pell was in Mel vin Saturday. E. F. Law went to Port Huron Satur day. M.
