It is very interesting in some sections of the state to note the reformation advocated by the brewers. Thy say restrictions should be put upon the saloon. They even would observe the laws more rigidly. They would have the saloon business washed and made more respectable. But all this talk has come on a "slow freight" and too late to satisfy a dissatisfied public. The only way to destroy an enemy is to destroy him. The saloon is the enemy of every American home. We are now thinking of an institution, and not the individual. We are frank to say there are men now engaged in the business, who are today on our list of friends, and against them or others so employed, we wage no war. We aim only at the institution they represent. This reform wave among the liquor men is only an evidence of general alarm in their midst. They are awake to the situation, but have "woke up" too late. The storm cloud of opposition is growing larger and blacker, and soon will break in all its fury, sweeping forever from our shores the legalized American saloon.

Despite an effort to maintain secrecy the fact has leaked out that oil has been discovered near Mancelona and those who know about it are excited over the prospects of what this means to Mancelona. The discovery came in a peculiar way. On a farm a few miles from the village, a driven well was sunk about 150 feet. There was nothing doing in the line of water and the well was left uncapped. Some time ago, gas was noticed coming from the pipe but not much attention was paid to it, but now that oil has been discovered on the surface of pools of water in the vicinity, it was believed that it was worth while to develop the well.
The owner of the farm stated that a $50,000 company will be formed probably of Mancelona people and if not, by outside interests, ant the territority developed.
