The new University hospital at Ann

If the summer continues, people

Now that remark must not be understood to imply shiftlessness, but good

The Masons held their annual festival Monday evening, and as usual, a
large orowd and good time is. reported.
The addresses ot "Revs, Reeves and

tried to get possession of their gun.
In tne struggle the gun was discharged,

of John Voelker, aged 14. Some of the
shot penetrated to the roots of the
tongue and it is feared the boy will die.

'For this report returns have been re1
ceived from 603 correspondents representing 510 townships. Five hundred
and twenty-one of these reports are
from 342 townshipsin the southern four
tiers of counties, and 100 reports are
from 93 townships in the central coun^
ties. • '
Wheat improved somewhat during
November, -yet the condition December 1st was far from satisfactory. Compared with, vitality and growth of average years the condition in the southern
counties was 91 per cent; in the central,
97 per cent; in the northern, 101 per
cent; and in the State, 93 per cent.
One year ago the condition in the
southern counties was 103; in tbe central 99; and in the northern counties
and the State, 102. The unfavorable
showing is mainly due to tbe warm and
dry September and the dry October,
though the injury by fly is very extensive. 'Nearly forty per cent of the correspondents in the southern counties
report damage by the Hessian fly. The
improved condition as compared with
a month earlier date is due to the heavy
rainfall in November.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in November is 1,638,968. Of this amount
335,191 bushels were marketed in the
first or southern tier of counties: 276,-
539 bushels in the second tier; 380,302
bushels in tne third tier; 410,347 bushels iu the fourth tier; 205,5G8 bushels
in the fifth and sixth tiers, and 31,021
bushels iu the northern counties. At
26 elevators and mills from which reports have been received there was no
wheat marketed during the month.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in August, September, October and November is 7,010,955,
which is 1,001,084 bashels more than
reported marketed in the same months
last year.
Live stock is in good, healthy and
thrifty condition. Expressed in figures
the condition in the State is only from
two to three per cent below a full average. Hog cholera has not yet entirely
disappeared from the southern counties.
Thirty-eight correspondents in this
section report the disease.
A large number of correspondents note
that an unusual percentage of the corn
crop remains in the field, owing to the
unfavorable weather for husking during November,
The farm statistics, returned by supervisors last spring, furnish the follow-
statistics of land in farms:
The. total number of farms in the
State is 146,589. This exceeds the number reported iu the spring of 1890 by
8,399. The area of improved land in
farms is 8,256,185 acres, an inrease oE
276,577 acres, compared with 1S90,
The area of unimproved land is 4,605,-
779acres, aud the total area in farms
12,561,964 acres, an increase of 299,227
|_as compared with tho previous year.
The average size of farms is 87.74 acres,
or more than three acres less than one
year ago.
The mean monthly temperature ot
the State for November was 33.1 degrees F., which was 3.2 degrees below
the normal of 16 years. The temperature was below the normal at every
station in the Lower Peninsula.
The main daily temperature was normal or above the no.r.mal ox\ elev.en days
of the mor^-h, the w.arm,er. weather, occur, ing'irora" the ftb. to the 11 th inclusive, the'lti-h, and fr-m the 90th to
the Sttq inclusive. The mean temperature was S degrees below the normal
on the 3d, 14th, 2ath and.27th; 10 degrees below on the 2d and 28th; 11 degrees below on the 29th; 12 degrees below on the 17th, and 13 degrees below
on the 18th. The mean daily temperature was below the freezing point- on
the 14th the 17th, 18th and 19th, and
from the 24tb to the 80th, inclusive.
The precipitation mainly occurred,
especially in the southern sections of
the State.* from the 7th to the 11th inclusive, the 15th, 16th n,nd 17th and
from the 20th to- the 27th inclusive.
The precipitation on the 7th averaged
tor the State .11, on the Sth to .30, on
the Oth to .59, on the 10th to 1.07 inches,
and _n the 11th to .Scinches.
Snow fell at nf5ar4y. $}\ •siatians in, the
State with^'i-ji- month. The aver-age
snowfall ifl the Ilpper- Peninsula was
10.4 inches, i. the northern counties
11.7 inches, "and in the central and
southern counties nearly 7 inches. The
average for the State was S.2 inches.
The snowfall at some points was very
heavy, as at Bellaire, 35.4 inches, at
Ivan 21.9 inches, and at Benzonia 18
inches. Overcome considerable portion of the Stnte the ground was lightly, covered with snow at the end of the
month.
The largest precipitation in the past
Sixteen Novembers S.OS inches, occurred in 1891, a_d the least, 2 inches
occurred, in 1878.
The Ohio crop report for November
furnishes the following for that State:
The condition of growing wheat is
not flattering, the plant being short
and Weak. Much of the late seeded is
very feeble aud tbiu on the ground.
The conditio- is even less than estimated last tuouth,aud falls 2o per cent short
of a full average condition.
Mrs. Maria Wood, aged 94 years and
9 months, fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 5,
1892, at the residence of her son,Jessup.
No person in all the community was
more widely "known or more universally beloved than grandma. Wood, as we
all loved to call her.
Born in Bidgefield, Conn., April 30,
1797, her life has measured the history
of the republic from Washington to
Harrison. Shehas witnessedits growth
from a feeble nation of 4,000,000 people
and seventeen states to a mighty nation
of 64,000,000 and forty-four states.
Then FortDuquesne, where Pittsburgh
now stands, was the gate way to the unknown western wilderness. To-day it
is the gateway to the mighty cities and
teeming population of a grander country
than Isaiah foretold or Columbus
dreamed of, as his prow turned into the
harbors pf the Bahamas.   What _ life!
Grandma Wood married in Ridge-
field, her native town, in 1816. At
the age of thirty-one she was the proud
mother of five boys, all born in Connecticut; and all lived to manhood and
became the heads of families.
Deceased removed to the state of New
York in 1830, and in 1836 came to the
far West, as it then "was, and located in
the very spot where through all the
remaining years her lot was cast.
Her husband died in 1856, March -7th,
but she has lived at the old home with
her children ever since.
The salient points in grandma Wood's
character are well known. She was s
positive woman. The New England
spirit found in her its brightest reflection. It was a pioneer spirit. She endured trial, hardship,- discomfort
only to become victorious in the encounter.
There was irou in her blood; but it
planted the standard of right when- ver
it flowed through her childreh 'and her
children's children. She would endure
no sham, no tinsel, no hypocrisy. Tier
righteous soul flamed against the soft
effeminacy of toomueh modern chiv. lry.
She was eminently lovely in her
social characteristics. Her circle
of friends and relatives. constantl_ increasing and irresistibly drawn to 'isr,
attested this. You could not be long
in her company without feeling the
charmof her presence and conversation.
She read books and knew them, good
books that gave life aud breadth to her
thought, newspapers were her con_lant
compauious. She knew the times -and
events thoroughly. She did not grow
old in intellectual vigor. Years only
broadened her reach of thought. But
ths chief charm of her long and active
life was her christain faith. It grew
stronger and brighter as the years
grew. It culminated when she entered
the dark valley and engaged the last
(Hieniy. The writer never knew a nobler
trust, a surer hope than hers. Tho
teachings of that early New _.n,;land
homo were as an "anchor to her soul"
and hold firm amid the terrors <>C the
final con diet. It was not long but very
sore. She said to her son, "I shall
have a fierce battle with death." But
when the end came there was peace.
Upon that aged brow there rested the
touch of Him who had passed through
the same con diet. "He giveth His he-
loved sleep." T_,eyc is n,o siflrt'GW in
a death like thi§.
As hey- (ihUdr-ea, her grandchildren,
her great grandchildren gathered a bout
that Silent form there seemed to fall
upon them tho benediction of the great
apostle's dying- words, "I have fought
the good light, I have fiuished my
course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness."
