Saline

Henry Colum is reported to be very low. The wool market here is about closed with but a small amount bought. Prof. C. L. Blodget has concluded to remain at Saline another year and wield the birch. H. F. Nichols and wife returned last evening from their pleasure trip to some of the inland lakes. Our enterprising firm, Dennis & Glover, have their hands full at present in repairing machinery. It is very quiet here owing to the farmers being engaged in their harvest. Splendid weather for that business. Political aspirants for office are preambulating the county seeking to further their chances at the loaves and fishes of Uncle Sam. Dr. A. D. Bellmire, who has been visiting at his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Wallace, returns to his home in Chattanooga to-day. The reaper and binder trade has been lively here this season, with a big cut in prices. People should come to Saline to purchase their farm implements. Miss Addie Clark came over from the Athens of Michigan last Sunday and brought her friend Miss Ida L. Webb, who had been her guest for the past week. Our genial citizen and correspondent of the ARGUS has left us to accept a position in a drug store at Benton Harbor.  Benton Harbor has gained an excellent citizen to our loss. May he prosper in whatever avocation he may pursue.
