Mack & Schmia, of Ann Arbor,

The directors of the Washtsnaw Pair

voted to annul the lease of the fair

The old Latimer' residence, where
Irving "Latimer killed his mother two
years ago, changes its title, having
been sold a few days since at mortgage
sale for $2,745.
Raisinville voted yes, for a hall and
no for a bridge. Those who wish to
visit the town hall, from the other
side, will still have to swim a mule or
pull their clothes and dive for It.—Adrian Press.
Raisinville is probably like all other
towns, tinctured with a certain number
of real cranks, who look at the call for
bridge funds apparently with the same
dread as they do murder in the first
degree.

The G. A. B. encampment now in session at Dubuque, Iowa, is a, grand success. It is claimed that fully 15,000
veterans are there, among whom are
some quite distinguished and noble
comrades.
If you wish to send a rare flower by
mail bore a hole in a piece of raw potato and insert the stem in it; the moisture of a potato is said to be sufficient

The Press says: North Adams at last
account, was $20 short of the sum required to induce Prof. E. Stevens to
drop from a balloon May two. This
being the case, the subject, instead of
Stevens, will probably drop.
The Prof, is in hopes to "drop" in
the fields near Saline sometime in the
near future.
The Huron River claims another victim. John G. Luippold, who has been
missing from his home ever since Easter Monday, March 80th, was found last
week Wednesday ir the river, near the
swift mill dam. He came to this country from Germany five years ago.
Our state legislature is again trying
to give the luiili'oads another stab. In
the house last week Wednesday a bill
was passed authorizing the special
charter raih-oads to reorganize under
the general law. The bill increasing
the tax ou fast freight lines and parlor
sleeping car companies to 6 per cent of
their grqss receipts in Michigan also
passed in committee of the whole.
Louis J. Lieseroer, the choice of the
Germans of this city fo'- mayor of the
city, took off his coat and worked for
Mr. Doty, which action is commended
by not only the Germans, but the democrats as well.—Ann Arbor Democrat.
Good for Liesemer. But by the way,
was he not a bit injudicious in taking
off his coat that day? Pretty cold aud
stormy, you know, and a fellow would
be apt to get chilly just in his shirt
sleeves.—Adrian Press.
We are of the opinion that the Press
editor is not much of a politician. The
day or the weather does not have auy
effect on an office seeker on election
day, he is wanned up through and
through.
A company of colored Jubilee Singers sang in Blissfield, oue evening of

African arose, bounced him from the
hall and kicked him down stairs in a
systematic manner. Tbe hoodoo then
had the Hamite arrested and Justice
McCaiin fined him ***o and costs. Assistant prosecutor Westerman shortly appeared on the scene and by his request
$£ of the Ave was remitted. Mr. Westerman would have had the hoodoo arrested, but the African could not remain
to be a witness against him. The down-
sittings and uprisings of the Blissfielft-
er will be attended with mindful care
for a few days. He probably got no
more than he deserved.—Adrian Press.
April Crop Report.
Por this report returns have been received from 789 correspondents representing 611 townships. Pive hundred
and twenty-eight of these returns are
from 374 townships in the southern four
tiers of counties, and 141 reports are
from 122 townships in the central counties.
Up to the first day of April wheat in
the southern and central counties,
where 97 per cent of the crop of this
state is grown, had suffered no material
injury. The winter has been an open
one, and, as in all open winters, the
top is more or less browned, and- in
some localities badly browned, but the
root, it is believed, remains uninjured.
On heavy clay and undrained soils the
plant is without doubt somewhat damaged, but even here it is hoped the
da*uage is not serious. These statements are prepared from the statements of different correspondents in
their "general remarks," which are
not copied in detail because they are
so nearly alike. The figures showing
condition are, in the southern four
tiers of counties 97 per cent, and-in the
central counties 92 per cent, comparison being with average years. One
year ago the figures in the southern
counties were 70 per cent, and in the
central counties 92 per cent, comparison being with average years. One
year ago the figures in the southern
counties Were 70 per cent, and in the
central 65 per cent.
"When the reports were made on the
first of this month, the ground was not
yet bare of snow in the northern counties, but with occasional exceptions no
fear is expressed as to the condition of
wheat in that section.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by.farmers in March
is 1,518,297. Or this amount 503,744
bushels were marketed in the first or
southern tier of counties; 364,353 bushels in the second tier; 273,005 bushels
in third tier; 270,554 bushels in the
fourth tier; 90,800 bushels in the fifth
and sixth tiers; and 15,841 bushels in
the northern Counties. At 47 elevators
and mills, or 17 per cent of the whole
number from which reports have been
received, there was no wheat marketed
during the month.  e
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the eightmonths
August-March is 11,568,617, or about
49 per cent of the crop of 1890- The
•juinber of bushels reported marketed
in the same months of 1889-90 was 10,-
496,503, or 45 per cent of the crop of
1S89. Reports were received each year
from about SO per cent the elevators
and mills in the southern four tiers of
counties.
Clover meadows and pastures are reported in good condition. In many-
fields the plant has been "lifted" by
frost, but with favorable weather hereafter no serious results are probable.
The figures showing condition are 94
per cent in the southern, and 92 per
cent in the central counties. On April
1,1890, the figures were 75 in the southern and 71 in the central counties.
The outlook for fruit, particularly
apples and peaches, is promising in all
parts of the state. This means simply
that at the date the reports were mailed correspondents were unable to detect any serious damage to buds. It is
yet too early to make any estimate of
the fruit crop of this state.
