The house of Dr. Solt at San Pierre was destroyed by fire last Saturday. Nothing of value was saved. Edward Mutchler, who has been Bick for about a year, is rapidly improving now. This is surely good news to his many friends. Charles Hewett helped Freeman move a part of his household effects to New Buffalo last week. Mr. Freeman has rented a farm close to the 'town. Mr. and Mrs. Grover Stembel and son, Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel and daughter, Miss Mary Stembel, Mr. Hewett and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Vandercar took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dewey Monday.

We have, seen the trick done, however. While fixing his wagon preparatory to hauling corn last Tuesday, Mr. McDaniel caught a wire in his face imihediately under the eye, cutting a long gash but luckily it did not effect <his eye.

Will W. Miller has just purchased the Grandpa Hufty property at the northwest corner of the school square, the one formerly occupied by Harry Hufty before his removal to the West. We are glad to learn of this deal as it eliminates any danger of Mr. Miller and his worthy wife selecting any of the larger towns to settle in. Since Jay’s marriage last winter it has been known that Mr. and Mrs. Miller would very soon select a place for themselves, giving up the farm to the young folks. And since this fact became known some have feared that these estimable people might locate in Rensselaer. The above mentioned purchase allays such fears. Mr. Miller, it is understood, will thoroughly remodel the property in the' spring.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON “» We always tire of winter before it’s had its fling, ahd yearningly begin ter: extol the charms of spring. We roast the wintry rigors in wild, impassioned terms, and long for spring and chiggers, and flies and bugs and germs. And yet the

winter weather is good for mortal man, and we should get ‘together, and boost it while we can. The arctic blast’s a hummer, and while it roars and rolls, the pests of spring and summer are dead or in their holes. Hail, storm .that swats us critters, With many a lusty bifft You give the germs their bitters, and freeze the microbes stiff. Hail, blizzard that is snorting across the icy plain! You send old blood cavorting through every palsied vein. With zest I do my labors; When knee deep in the snows; I go and whip my neighbors, and pull a peeler’s nose. The springtime finds me slouchy, too indolent to smile, and I gruff and grouchy, and full of prunes and bile. But the frosted breezes athwart my sideboards blow, I shake off all diseases, and every grouch and woe ; I feel as' gay and chipper as when I was, sixteen, and from the old tin dipper I quaff my gasoline.

REPUBLICAN PARTY’ OBITUARY

Prepared and Written by (Colonel Michael Duffy. Col. Mike Duffy has prepared a touching obituary of the Republican party for his Republican friends which appeared in a recent issue of the Morocco Courier: “The G. O. P. was born in 1856, died November 10, 1916, after a happy career of many years. On June TO, 1912, was born to it a child —a Bull Moose, which after a short life of four years was put to death by its father with a big stick. “It never fully recovered from the birth of the child and on November 12, 1912, it was stricken with paralysis and had been in poor health ever since. Again on November 7, 1916, it received a second stroke and its condition became alarming, and Dr. East of New York was called in and diagnosed the case. He said it would pull through and there was great rejoicing in the camp. Tin horns were blown and hats were burned. But on Wednesday, November 8, 1916, Dr. West of California was called in consultation. He said It was impossible for it to recover. From that time on it steadily grew worse until 6:30 o’clock p. m. it passed away, leaving many to mourn its departure. ■
