A farmer near Elkhart has shown'
whatcan be done in the line of raising
potatoes on a large scale. It is said
that this man cleared 40 acres of black
ash swamp land and this year put it
out in potatoes and that- about 10,000
bushels were thus secured from the
tract, most of which have been contracted for at 65 cents a bushel, thus
will the owner receive between $6,000
and $7,000." In order to have realized
this amount in wheat it Would have
required more than 800 acres and even
then the farmer would find himself
greatly short of this sum. In case the
farmer had chosen to raise wheat on
the 40 acres he would have for his trouble less than $500.

The Sektikbl gives elsewhere in
this issue a table of the official vote of
Clare county as determined by the
official count by the board of canvassers
at Harrison, Tuesday. It will be seen
by comparison with the table published
last week that very slight changes in
the. result then announced have been
found necesary to correct the table.
The pluralities on senator, sheriff,
clerk and prosecuting .attorney remain unchanged, while for governor
and the remaining county officers the
pluralities have been changed only one
each.'
Eev. J. C. Cope, whose death we
mentioned last week, was laid to rest
last Sunday, the funeral sermon being
preached at the Clare E. M. church by
Eev. Lambertson of "Stanwood. Mr.
Cope was born in Brant county, Ont,,
February 7th, 1831, and died November 8th, 1894. He first came to Clare
In the fall of 1869, and purchased the
land he now owns. In the fall of 1873
he moved to Clare and settled his family in what was then known as tha Atkins house on the hill in Yernoiis City,
until he could clear a place large
enough to build a log house, on the
laud he purchased. Early in life he
felt a call to the ministry, but put it
off until he secured a home for his fam-?
ily. He began preaching shortly after
settling here and raised up a number
of circuits, yet making his home on
the farm where he labored' hard to
provide for his family. In 1884 he left
his home and devoted his time wholly
to the ministry, continuing in the
traveling connection of the F. M.
church until about four months ago,
when he finished the business of the
circuit at Lake Yiew, arranging everything for conference and returned to
his home, where after three months'
extreme suffering he passed away,
leaving his bereaved family to mourn,
but not as those without hope.
Ode(ious) to Farmer Grover.
Back in ninety-two, O Grover,
We were promised lots of clover,
If you landed in the presidential chair,
Well, you landed!   And we find
Lots of clover—in your mind!
And today that self-same clover lingers there.
Everywhere we turn—alas!
There is dead and dying grass;
It bestrews the fields and meadows of the land!
And it springs from naught indeed
Save from Democratic seed
Sown by Farmer Grover Cleveland's horny hand.
But the clover—oh! ah, me!
Where's the clover, Farmer C-—?
"Where's the clover? Ahl we look for it in vain;
There is not a leaf in sight—
"Nary" a leaf, and we are quite—
Quite convinced there'll be no clover while you
reign.
Nay, of clover naught there'll be,
Naught of it we're like to see—
We, the people, who each day more angry wax
"When we think of ninety-two,
And the votes we cast for you
"When our heads were full of Democratic tax.
Oh! ah, me! alas! alackl
Could Old Time but take us back
To that fatal day in eighteen ninety-two,
We would vote—you bet we would—
That, of course, is understood—
We would vote but—not for such a chump as you!
—By a tired Democrat.

The Bay City Tribune says that Mr.
Eisher receiyed a plurality of two votes
in West Bay City. The statement was
commonly made before election that
he would carry the city by at least 300
majority, and when the result was
known, Mr: Eisher felt more disappointed than over losing the rest of
the state. On the way home he made
up his mind to move out of the city altogether and in the morning communicated the intelligence to his wife-.
Mrs. Eisher accordingly prepared to
move, while he was away down town
and had a good many things packed
When he returned.
"You can stop packing," he said suddenly.
"Why," she responded, "arn't you
going to move into a democrat city?"
"No*" he replied, with broken voice,
"there's no place to move to," .
New Colors.
Combinations of gray and black, and
black and white, make up some of the
smartest gowns,-and are sure to continue in favor through the winter;
•while black gowns of richest fabrics,
relieved by a little color, continue to
hold ^heir own, against every attempt
to displace them. The new color, bluet,
in many shades, both dedicate and intense, combines charmingly with
black, and is much used for the very
popular stock-collar, the girdle often
matching it, and the two forming; a
becoming relief to otherwise severely
simple black gowns of crepon, silk or
alpaca.—Erom "Eeviewof Eashions,"
in Demorest's Magazine for November.
