The Allegan Tribune givee the Kalamazoo quill drivers a piscatoria! dose of immense proportions : "The Kalamazoo Telemph t hinks the reason the Allegan editor have meh treniendous force is, they eat so many fish - brain food.

The Bright'in Citizco comes to us in new dress, and folio from, all printcd at home. An improvement. To be sure there is not so uiuch reading matter given, but what there ia is of recent occurrence, and given in an entenaining manner, while more room is made lor local news, whicb is the county paper's forte.
