Mrs. Kennedy has nearly completed a new brick store on Cross ítreet, Ypsilanti. The pond at Manchester was frozen over for the first time this year on November 21. The Manchester Enterprise applies the euphonious title of a hog Darn to a pig-pín. Supervisor Crippen is teaching school in fractional school district number i, of Superior. Leonard Warren and Lenox Beadle, of Ypsilanti, have emigrated to Washington territory. One Chelsea buyer purchased thirteen tons of poultry one day Lst week, according to the Chelsea Herald.

We hope to give two pages of county news next week. Burglars attempted to rob the residence of Rev. Dr. McCorkle in Ypsilanti, but were fnghtened away by the reverend gentleman. The Manchester high school senor class contains 14 members. What high school in the state in a village the tize ot Manchester can beat this. Addison Fletcher,Jr., died in Ypsilanti town, November 20, after an illness of three years. He was 36 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. Says the Saline Observer: "Saline has one stieet with eighteen widows living thereon, another street with twelve, a third with eleven, and a fourth with ten," Lamb, Davis & Kishlar is the name of the new Ypsilanti dry goods firm which succeeds to the business of H.

We wonder how many new and big words Joseph has learned sirce his last appearance in this county. The first accident of winter occurred in Grass Lake last week when Arthur Merriman, while skating, fell and split his lip so badly that the ervices of a doctor were required. We are advised by our friends of the Ypsilantian that it was Mr. Demosh who rode through the streets of Ynsilanti with the emblems of yictory propelled by Mr. Quindley, who had confidence in Cleveland's re-election. The Ypsilantian is usually accurate on after-election figures, yet its table last week, gives ten members of congrevs to West Virginia. This is the first we have heard of little Virginia's inrrease in representation. Sharon claims the honor (?) of having once been the home of the father of the murderer Guiteau. On more mature consideration we wish to correct this item. Manchester insists that Sharon shall have that honor. üeorge J. Nissly, the founder of the Saline Observer, has again assumed the management of that journal. Mr. Nissly can divide his attention between chicken raising and journalism and it looks as if he were going to tcnd to the latter in as excellent a marmer as to the former, in fact we surmise that he is a pusher.
