Ebitob SsisrnKBL}'Glare:
Dear Sir;—I received a copy of your
paper and it made me home-sick when
I read so many familiar*-names in the
locals. If we had a few such newsy republican papers here it would open
peoples5 eyes. Nearly everybody here
is a democrat and for no better reason
than that his father was one. One
of your items states -that a good many
people who leave -Michigan are glad to
get back, and I can say there are not-
many better states in the Union, and
I have been in aearly all of them.
Some Clare people think they would
like to be in the {%ramy south.5J Well,
it is a little plea^anter in the winter,
but there is not one in a thousand
woialdlikeit In summer. This has
been one of the finest winters known
in the state. There was a little snow
on the gronMl about twenty miles
north of here, but only a few flakes of
the beautiful visited us. It has been
no colder he_e so far than it was in
Clare last October., People in the
north think that southern folks do not
suffer with cold, but the natives here
have to dress as warm as you do, or
stay in the house, which most of them
do, whieh is only a little better than
being but doors as a rule, for their
houses generally are so open that you
can almost throw the traditional cat
through the cracks.
There is plenty of government land
a few miles from this place in the long
leaf pinesounfe-y, also some excellent
farming land in the Creek bottoms
that can be homesteaded yet. This
would be a good location for market
gardeners could they get reasonable
rates from the railroads. The people
here kn©w very little about raising
anything but corn and cotton. They
could have nearly all kinds of garden
truck any time of the year if they had
half the ambition of a northern farmer.
- But do not think that this is a paradise, for there is a good deal to: contend with—dry weather, late- frosts,
etc., to say nothing of insects, such as
mosquiffeoes, fleas,*. ticks, chiggers?
knats and stinging lizards, which are
about the only things that can get a
move on the natives, unless it ds. a
horse swap,
A good many northern men are
, working in the woods here and are getting rich, but not so fast as the old-
time MicMgan lumberman did. There
is a vast amount of timber in this
state,such as long leaf rosemary/heart,
pine, oak, white ash, gum, cypress,
with quite a sprinkling of walnut in
some places. -Cypress grows in the
low swampy ground and it is a very
malarious and unhealthful place to
work, in summer. I hafe been hewing
railroad ties for two weeks, with only
•undershirt and light trousers on, and
the perspiration'flows-as it does in
Bpid-sraniaer. Wages range from $1.50
to $2.50 per day and "feed yourself" as
the Sfegroes say. -
As this is my flrst letter to an editor
I think I wiU close for this time, with
this advice to my old friends and every
one in Michigan: Do not sell your lit-I
tie property and go to some new- place
you have heard of. If you, think you
can do better some other pla_-$, leave
your family behind well prepared, if
you have one, and then go and look at
it. The chances are you will be better
satisfied with Michigan and its people than any place you can And. ■ I
have seen so many people who have
been quite well off, move $;q other
statenand before $hey could find a
place to suit .them, would spend all
they had then have to start Over again.
As it is getting late and the pine
knot fire I am writing this by is going
out, 1 will close for this time. i

HOUMKG- THIS KEIHS.
The night -was clear, the sleighing gooa,
The cutter seat not -wide; •   *
She snuggled close "beneath the rofce
To her fond lover's side.
The horse was spirited and jumped,
With frequent tugs andstrains,
Until she innocently said,
"Do let me hold thereinsl"
They're married now, perhaps because
She was so helpful then;
She loves hin^-well, and he loves her—
Well, in the way of men,
And yet in all their sweet delight
One" sad thought makes him wince—
Sihe held the reins that winter's night
She's held them ever since.

dreen wood is $1.50 a cord in Harrison.
The Glare County Cleaver closes its
eighth year better than ever.
Mrs. William Ellsworth died suddenly of heart disease at Midland, Eeb. 3,
Harrison's saw mill and factory shut
down on account of the deep snow
wbich prevented hauling logs.
. Prosecuting Attorney Wickham and
Asa M. Tinker have formed a co-partnership for the practice of law at Harrison, says the Cleaver.   *
It is understood-that Samuel Orth
will return to Midland sdon; from Saginaw, and take his old place in Anderson's drug store, says the [Republican.
The Oakland County Advertiser,
published at Holly by James Slocum,
has been enlarged from a six to a seven
column quarto. The Advertiser man
is a hustler..
On the G*. K. & I. road north of Cadillac a rear end collision occurred last
Friday morning, killing a brakeman, a
traveling salesman and probably fatally injuring a conductor.
• "Will the subscriber that brought a
load of wood to the editor's house during his absence last week, please re?
port, so that proper credit can- be
given."—Midland Sun. If some one
will only leave a load of wood at the
Sssttnel man's house in his absence,
it will be all right and no questions
asked.
The Cleaver, (Harrison) is having a
hard winter according to the following: . "With justice court in session in
the next room, the small end of a brass
band on the floor below, a howling
blizzard on the outside, and wet hemlock wood in the stove, it would not be
surprising if some of the Cleaver force
were driven to some desperate act if
this state of ^affairs exists for many
days more."

Y'@U
Almost Perish©*!.
Harrison Cleaver: Chas. Peek, father
of Mrs. Jos. Worden of this city, and
who resides near "Upton, had a miraculous escape last week Thursday from
death by freezing. During the day a
terrific storm raged and the mercury
was below zero- lir. Peck's herd 'of
cattle had wandered from home and
being alarmed least they might perish
in the storm, he started about noon on
foot in search of them. Efot until
nearly night did he find any traces of
them and that was three or four miles
from home. The extreme cold and
heavy snow through which he traveled
had rendered him weary* About dark
he was taken with & severe chill, and
only hy the greatest exertion could he
force himself forward. He realized
that he was perishing from uhe cold,
and his only thought was to reach the
road leading to this city where he
could be found by some traveler, as he
did not realize he was near his own
home. Upon reaching the road he
sank from exhaustion and was only
aroused by hearing a faint call from
his wife. Being so .much exhausted
he could not answer nor could he walk,
so creeping upon his hands and knees
he reached his home. Upon crossing
the threshold he became unconscious
and only after several hours hard work
by his wife did he regain his senses.
His face and ears were frozen and it
was some time before he could get
about his work again.
