OUR NEW: STORY:

story which begins this week.

of "The Backwoodsman."
THEY BRING RESULTS.,
Those small ads on page eve—For
Sale, Wanted, To Rent, Etc.—are
business getters almost invariably.
Said citizen the other .morning
"That: small at has been inserted
only once but 'it has brought me
more business than I can very

Said another : "The very. evening
that thepaper containing my ad

LET 'GEORGE DO IT.
And George did it.
When it the course of human ev-
ents it became necessary for some
oneto make preliminary arrange-
ments for the first Michigan gather-
ing of printers, some wiseheimer
mentioned the name of George Har-
land and he was acclaimed with
great eclat as eminently fitted for
that arduous duty.
"Ain't he acquainted with every-
body ? Wasn't he a delegate to the
Second International' Cost Congress
at Denver 1 Sure, Mike, let George
do it. •
And George did it.
' That's George's specialty, and . he
certainly has a flossy way- with lam
when it comes to smoothing diricul-
ties and arranging schedules.
When he extends his flipper, if
you're an Odd Fell!ow, just give hire
that secret pressure and note the res-
ponsive clasp, for on lodge nights
he's the busy boy in the I, 0. O. 14..
The goat eats right out of his hand.
He was appointed chairman. of the
Michigan Cost Commission at Sagin-
aw, and they say that he was a
Noble Grand figure on "that occas»n.
IG the delegates ee the Cost Con-
gress at any time find themselves
burdened With ennui, which is French
for that tired feeling, just remember
that George is on the job and a part
of his self-imposed .duties is to see
that everybody has a good time.
The above is from the report in
Henry's Seeap' Book of the recent
Cost! Congress of the Michigan Print-
'ers. The George Harland mentioned
Is a brother of Mr. Will Marland of
town and who spent bis boyhood
days in Clinton.
THE TOWN COUNCIL.
Major McTaggart+ and Assessor
Cottle, on behai'f of the Flortiaeltur-
al. Society, addressed 'the town coun-
cil Monday evening and asked for a
grant of twenty-five dollars to sup-
plement the funds of the Society to

Have two or three places in view,
one being the gore opposite St.
Joseph's church and the other that
hill board plot) in rear of the White-
hesblock, o
d corner Albert and, On-
tario streets. '1'he Major . and the.
Assessor' had but to make a plain
statement of the case, suppiemeneed
by a reference to what had been ac-
complished last year, and the, amount
required was unanimously voted
them.
Ona hundred and fifty dollars was
voted the Citizens' hand lox the us•
ual number -of_open ars concerts, to

amount as 5 oy received Nast season.
Mayor Gibbings in speaking of the
laying of dust on our main streets
said it was a question . which was
the cheaper, oil or water, Oil could
now be obtained at 4.1, cents per gal-
lon and one application per season
was all that was required. One gal-
lon of
al-low-of this oil will suffice for five
square yards of street.
''Evvery business block in town should
have an incinerator 'so that all gar-
bage may be got rid . of in the
Proper way, that is by burning" thus
spoke his worship why suggested
that the council take the matter up.
if the board of heakeh neglects to do
so. ''The use of the incinerator by
one block would mean its general use
in the 'business section," concluded
the Mayor.
Yes," added Councillor T. Jack-
son, " and,its use by private cit'Izens
as well. , The disposal of garbage by
the 'Municipality is a step int advance
that would at once commend itself to
every citizen."
