A Caucus of the Electors of Yale Village was held Wednesday evening in the Town Hall. There was a large attendance, and the most lively interest manifest in the business of the meeting. Tlio contest for positions on the ticket was quite warm in all tho nominations made, except Treasurer and Assessor, these being placed on tlo ticket by ac clamation. Another caucus is called by electors to put in nomination a Citi zens' Ticket, the notice of which will be found elsewhere in this issue.

Yea, August Flower has the largest sale of any medicino in tho civilized world. Your mothers' and grand mothers' never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or bilious ness. Doctors wero scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous I'rostratiou or Heart failure, etc. They used Augus-t Flower to clean out the system ami stop fermentation of undi gested food, regulate the action of the liyer, stimulate the nervous and or ganic action of ttie system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Grant Holden's drug 6tore. Would It Pay? Has any one ever investigated the question of cheap feed barns ten cent ones, in which farmers could for a small fee shelter their teams when they come to town? What leads us to think of this is the vast number of teams found unsheltered on busy days. Such a barn would mean humane treatment for man's noblest beast friend. Would it be patronized by farmers? Would many who take the train to Port Huron, so shelter their team until their return ? And there is that other all important question, would such a place pay its owner and keeper y We confess our almost utter ignorance on this topic; but it can do no harm for some one to think about it, and if need be, make all needful in vestigations.

Notice is hereby given that tho part nership of Wharton & Holden is hereby mutually dissolved; that the business of the firm will be continued by Whar ton & Co.; that all bills and accounts due from the firm will be paid by Wharton & Co., and that all bills, ac counts, and notes given to the lirm or due them are to be paid to the eaid Wharton & Co.

During the early part of October, 1890 I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to oxpol some thing which I could not. I became alarmed and after giving tho local doc tor a trial bought a bottle of Chambor lain's Cough Itemedy and the result was immediate improvement, and af ter I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.

Uy formal notice elsewhere found in this issue, the dissolution of partner ship heretofore existing between Thos. Wharton and John Holden is announc ed, the latter retiring from the firm. These two gentlemen have been associ ated in the grain, hay, coal, implements and other lines of trade for a period of nine years. In that long period an im mense volume of business has been done, and their patrons are numbered by the thousands, scattered over a wide circle of territory. These will be sorry to miss the face of either proprietor from the old stand. And the old stand! What a history it has? If we could have a detail ac count of the tons of hay, the bushels of grain, the amount of farm produce bought by the lirm in all these years, how it would astonish us by its-immensity. Add to these the vast amount of material and machinery sold, and a what a sum it would make. Think, again, of the enormous sum of money that has been paid out and in this same triangle shaped ofiice. This plant has been among the principal financial arteries through which has come the blood of business. This dissolution will not, however, lessen the volume of trade, or its bene fits to the community. The business will be carried on by Mr. Wharton and the firm name will be Wharton & Co. This will not mean a new proprietor, but one long known by all, and whose experience will enable him to meet the demands of the trade, in all ways that his patrons needs may suggest. The public will not have to learn a new man, or become reconciled to seeing a new face. The thousands know "Tom," know him a3 tested by all these years of business deal, and upon that knowl edge they base their trust. Hut while all this is unqualifiedly true, and the business will m nowise change, yet there will be a lack and loss by Mr. Holden's retirement. We cannot live by a man, meet him almost hourly, have business relations with him In countless ways, and not miss him on retirement. "The public will miss John trom his place on the tri angle; and we should not be surprised if John would miss the public. We would be a mite surprised if at least twice a day lie does not seek the old haunts, swap stories with the farmers, and sort beans to keep up a good appe tite. One thing John will have, and tiike with him over and above the stock he carries out, the respect, confidence and friendship gained. This will be the very best item; and one not measur ed by dollars; that he will have to enter on tfie prolit page of the ledger. A Dog-goned Shame. There are many stories with morals attached, but the stories uro not al ways true or the morals plain. Here is ono which is known to bo unvarnish ed truth, and it has a moral in it large enough to go around the whole crowd a kind of moral that is self cocking, self priming, and self acting; in fact so automatic that it needs no pointing; no fuse attachment, and no touching oil'. The records show that a recent vendue was held in South Krockway, and a vast crowd of persons anxious to buy themselves rich and get trusted for the entire sum, hied themselves, thither. Among them, with his eye cocked on a sharp bargain and a good backer in hia mind, came oneT. II. 1., late of Yale, but now of Sunnyside Ranch. It 6eems that his fervent do sires had all gono to the bow-wows, and to have them good and fresh, night or day, the year round, he must needs have a dog of his own. Hear ing that a dog would bo sold at this auction, he, too, hied himself thither, with his bid made up to thenot-a-cent-more-will-I-giye notch. In due time the dog wa9 put up and the bidding began. Hut, oh 1 horrors ! a kid was there with his mouth all fixed for dog, and armed with tho cash a whole auarter and T. II. was out-bid and the og knocked down to the kid. Hut he had come all the way for that pup and the pup he would have. So, doubling tho price to the boy, he closed the bar gain, and started home with the dog tied behind hi9 buggy. All went well, the dog taking to his new master, and it seemed to be a case of love at first sight. Doubts must haye come to the dog; and he rued the bargain. As the new master neared bis home a neigh bor hailed him wanting to know what ailed tho dog? It was then that our granger cast his oyo behind him, and lo I tho dog was dead. The tie-strap noose had slipped, and his wind shut oil'. Then came the weeping and witing in Ireland. The dog was dead, hia hide ruined, the fifty cents clean cash gone, a whole day's time lost, and a dog funeral on his hands. To the Poor House at Last. By the advice of Dr. Mills, the phy sician for St. Clair county, J. S. Ken nctick has been sent to the County house for care. While this announce ment may not occasion surprise to those who knew him best, yet there are none who will not feel inexpress ible sad. With such superior natural talent, supplemented with the best ed ucation attainable at Ireland's first university, it is indeed a sad ending to what might have been a brilliant career. Strong drink, that worst en emy of noble and generous souls, found in him a shining mark. A CARD.
