Tucola County Advertiser, 13 Feb 1886 TUSCOLA Bad colds are the order of the day now. The splindid sleighing is fast disappearing. The Methodists still continue their revival meetings. H. Harrison is giving reading lectures in different places. A number of sleighloads of the Methodist Sunday school children went to Reese on the 9th, for a ride. The Germans have been improving the past few weeks of good sleighing hauling tile from Miller's brick and tile yard. Diamonts and Clemants have bought Wm. H. Harrison old store and are intending to move it on a vacant lot near John Stevenson's store. The more I read The Advertiser the better I like it. It is always full of good reliable news. I receive its weekly visits gladly; shake out its folds quickly, and read its news quickly. Especially from the different towns, for being acquainted with so many people residing in the different parts of the county, it is like a weekly letter from absents friends. Bro. scribe I am angling for cash subscribers for this paper, as it is worthy of a little extra effort on our part. Cannot each one of us take hold and help a little?
