The official vote on prohibition at the iate election in Tennessee was: For, 117,504; against, 145,197. It was the heaviest. vote ever cast in tha state. The knights of labor 6how good senee in the manner in which they treat the liquor question. By a vote of 104 to 49 the general assembly, at Minneapolis ast week, sustained the rule psohibiting the sale of liquor at picnics. The Manistee Democrat has been purchased by Henry G. Wanty, the late city editor of the Grand Rapids Democrat. it seems this paper has not been a'nnancialsucceHs lately, but there is little doubt that under the able management of its new proprietor it will be a paying oonsern, for he has proven himself to be a first-class uewspaper man. Mr. Wanty fonnerly lived in this city. The Michigan branch of the woman'S ïnxiliary of the board of Episcopal Missions held a well attended meeting last week, at Báy City. This branch was started eight years ago and has grown very iapidly in nurn.bers, labor performed and amounts contributed. During; these eight years $4,199 have been rais'ed. The general anxiliary which was established in 1871 raised last year $233,726 in cash, for the good cause of humanity and religión. The next meeting 'of the state anxiliary will be aeld in Jauuary, 1888, at Flint. The ofikers are: Mies Adams, of Detroit, president; Mrs. Wn. J. Chittenden, Detroit, secretary and : reasurer ; Mrs. James T. Stirling, ciiairwoman of the anxiliary eurplice society. Exaggerated reports of the preva:ence of diptheria are afloat in the city, and calculated to do more harm than good. There are only two houses in the city today in vhich there is sickness of diptheretic type, and only two deaths iv occurred of that disease as yet. There is no probability of any further spread of the disease if people will be sareful to adopt proper sanitary preutione. Dr. Breakey, chairman of the Board of Health, assures us that they are watching the interest of the aity, and will do their duty. They request every citizen to look closely to ïis premises and see that there is nothing left about the homes to decay and form poisonous gases, and that cesspools and privy vaulte are carefully ■ookeJ after. Following such an exleediagly hot and dry snmmer as the past, more eickness than usual may be expected, and the suggestions of the Board should be carefully adopted, and ■hen no alarm need be feit.
