We take the following, from the Horr
correspondent to the Mt, Pleasant Enterprise; Silas Wrielifc lias a well 90 feofc
deepj he is also tbo ownor of a rooster
■ who evidently did some deep thinking"
about that well. This is his first experience '.itk a northern winter, being ono
of a lato. brood, he took to brooding ovor
tho cheerless climste and noticing tho
well curb he proceeded to climb it. Ho
gazed for a moment on his shivering companions, on tho snow basks, and his
cheerless home. Ho looked down in tno
-well, it looked warm and comfortable
and he simply remarked, "It is well," and
let go. His descent into the lower regions was an eventful ono, but he curbed
every desire to return to terra firma and'
and well. Ho found rather less land
than water but still onough to gain a
. footholds Ho sang a lay, look tho land
in tho name of King Hen(ry), and feeling
he had something to crow ovor, ho cut
jiff,.t,M-cA
to the scene by tho explorer's rejoicings
and tried to deviso Somo means to restore
him to home and friends. "When*a plafc-
-■/ form was lowered for him lie refused to
ascend on ifc, and it was two days beforo'
lie could be induced to vacate his claim
' and take tho elevator.
Suppose every business man in town
says the Eaton Bapids Herald, took as
much interest in tlio upbuilding of the
town as the newspaper man. He works
for the railroads, manuCacturies, schools
churches, and other public institutions, 1
for good streets, and good roads, and one
Itundred and one other things. 3?or tho
general good he urges, pleads, scolds and
cavorts around generally, until llo gets
what ho seta ont after. Imagine his feel-

kind of a fellow.reproaches him because
lie doesn't boom things enough, and nine
times out of ten that same fellow lias

.Wo recently .walked into a certain busir
ness bouse in our rounds to know who
desired anything in tho way of advertisements and noticed a drummer stood by
tho counter with his valise ready to open.
"Anything you want to say in the papor
this week?" wo said to tho business man
behind tho counter, "No," said tbo business man, "I don't bolievo in advertising."
Tho drummer waited until we was half
way to tho door, then slowly taking up
his sample valise, remarked: "Well that
lets me out. I do not care to soil on
timo to any man who, at this ago does
nnt. lieliovo in advertising. I prefer to
deal with live men. When I want to
striko up a trade with a dead man I'll go
to tho gravo yard and swap business.

Mr. Bontty placed your muck in my

I have your acre set out to Irish  potn-,
toes, tomatoes, and oabbago (tin' latt* i j
being planted at present) one-fourth in '
potatoes, one-fourth in cul)nn_p and ont-
half io   tomatops.   Nearly   everyone  it.
late with thoir crops tbis year, but will
bo ready for market when-produee goner-
ally brings tho highest price.   Everyone
seems to be pleased with tho outlook so
far.
Mr. Dickerson, of Boyuton, will put io
20 acres of tomatoes next week, whieh
ought to convince anyono that, the ppOple-
here ar* not afraid of tho result.
I have used rip till the money (§30.00)
tendered me by Mr. Bentty to work your
land with, and owo a man by the name of
Melburne, who adjoins you, a few dollars
for hoeing, setting plants, etc. Will send
you shortly a complete statement, accompanied by receipts, showing you just
whero tho money went to.
There bas been some sickness here,
but nothing serious, and thoy were people, mostly who came hero sick. I believe
the draining, of the land will have no effect as to sickness. •
A post office ha'Sbeen established" here"
over two months. Work will begin on
the school house samptimo during: the.
coming week and a teacher ha3 been
hired. *
Alligators are perfectly harmless, and
mostly located in the everglades. The
canal company caught several and placed'
them in tho canal so Northerners could
seo them when rifling Jjaok and forth.' -
I havo seen only one poisonous snake
since I came here.
Niggers, as they are called here, run all
over the country 'barefooted; so do the
Indians.   Civilization rules herp.
I believe this country will be one of
the most prosperous in a short time, but
would not advise anyone to come here a*.
Ibis time, but to come nexfc year and got
on tho ground early in the fajl,. ..Several
aro having packing bouses built now preparatory to harvesting crops.
The climato hero is simply delightful
and for catarrh and 'asthma cannot be
beat. I nevor realized before coming
hero that it was a luxury to have good
air to breathe.
Your land is located tho fourth piece
from tho canal and as no one ahead of
yon has dono any ditching, you will see
how impossible it wap for mo to drain
your land properly. However, tho settlers ahead of you aro preparing  to dig

Tbe iiv»xfc day the girl was taken to jail
wiivre they are at present. Justice Mor-
rissey refused bail and an application
vvitrbe iii2idn next week to Judge Dodds
to fix bonds.
Mr. Kirvan makes a plain denial of
the charges, and a growing sentiment
exists among many that there is , a
strong probability of there being something bebinu tea charges not known
to tbo oaioials. No examination of the
youngest child was had until Tuesday,
wheu one was made by Drs. Kelley
and Braoy, and tbe former, when approached most • vigorously informed
Tub OoijniEB tbat ifc was none of it's
business. Thus we know that Kirvan
isial.ed for assaulting bis daughter
but farther than her story no one, save
tbe physicians and officials know if she
was assaulted or no.
Since tha* defendant has beon a resident of this county he has borne a
splendid reputation, both socially and
in a business way. Both ho and his
wifo have successfully taught district
schools in tbis county, and have in
many ways endeared themselves, to the
community. During the fall past attempts to have him arrested for irregularities in township' affairs but investigation showed Mm to be entirely in-
tirely innocent. It is to be hoped that
Mr. Kirvan may be able to prove his
innocence of the terriblo charge now
pending affainst him.

Clare county is agitating disinomber-
tnetit and the attaching of tho fragments
to Isabella and adjoining counties. If
the county would organize an improvement company that would secure settlers
ou terms that would allow the settlement
and clearing of her waste land on a basis
fair to sottlorfl and company, she would
not only bo doing good for herself, but
might *f_ord a home for large numbers
of people that could and would do well
there. OlSre county should endeaver to
build herself up instead of undertaking
to tear down. She haB more nnd better
advantages than ahe thinks she has, and
could.use them to good purpose.—Mt,
