R.   W.    Herrick'S    Interesting
Sketches of the South.
The following written to J. R.
Herrick of Sheridan by his son, W.
R., on a trip to Washington and Virginia pointedly states conditions of
interest to our readers;
Dear father,—
During the week
cedentally spent a few hours
Jamestown Exposition. It is
teresting little show but I understand i
much smaller than the St. Louis fair, I
The naval display is grand. I went
to Norfolk aud back froih Baltimore
by boat and both times passedthrough!
the fleet of twenty-one of Tjncle Sam's
war ships. Richmond I found to be
quite a pretty city, nice broad streets ;
and modern buildings. Norfolk is an
old seaport town. It seems strange
to see monuments erected in these
towns "to our Confederate dead"
etc., and statues of Lee, Jackson and
others though when one remembers
that it was the very heart of the
secession movement it is not strange
at all. It is the first time I have ever
been across Mason and Dixons line.
T find that the sympathies of many
are still with the lost cause though
they all seem very friendly to a
Northerner. In fact the dealers are
the most cordial I ever called on anywhere. Of course it behoves one to
say as little as possible but traveling
for four nights in succession on different steamers I found considerable
] opportunity to hear people express
themselves. I heard one old veteran
say that where Jeff Davis made his
mistake was in not allowing Jackson
after the battle of Bull Run to take
his army and "march to Washington.
He claimed Davis' stand was that if
invaded, they would fight, otherwise
they wished peace. I suppose there
is no question but that they could
have taken Washington as at that
time its only defence consisted of six
cannon at the long bridge and a defeated and very much demoralized
army; I. had never thought of such a
possibility before. All of these people
seemed to think it a good thing that
slavery as an institution had been
abolished though they all agreed on
keeping a "nigger where he belonged." I notice [that on boats, trains
and street cars he is divided from the
whites very carefully, I do not see
biifc that his accomadations are just as
good but they are separate and to tell
the truth as long as I travel down
there I'm not going to kick about it,
especially in such warm weather as
we had last week.
W. R. Herrick.
CTIO- ItEXT   TUESDAY,
Voters Will Make Choice of Delegates to Constitutional
■■       Convention.
Next Tuesday September 17th is the
time of a special state election for the
selection of delegates to revise the
state constitution. As a whole the
provisions under which delegates are
selected are not the most admirable.
There is no provision for representation of the minority party, which in
itself, will in all probability ensure a
strong adverse vote for the new constitution. This added to differences
of interests in the various sections of
tbe state along with errors that -will
probably creep in, as well as unresfc
todUy on great public questions, all
will be adverse influences to defeat
the new instrument. But there is
need of change in the constitution.
In Clare county there is no contest.
The democrats for this senatorial
district named no candidates. The
three republican nominees are already
really elected bufr there must be the
formality and expense of election
just . the same. The three - are:
Eugene Foster, editor, of Gladwin.
H. H. Woodruff of Roscommon. O.
H. Smith of Alcona*
In Isabella there is a contest. The
six candidates are as follows:
REPUBLICAN.
E. 0. Shaw, editor, Newaygo.
Archibald Broomfield, lawyer, Big
Rapids. A. M. Fleischhaiier, real
estate man, Reed City.
DEMOCRAT.
Smanuel Craft, farmer, of Deerfield
township,  Isabella.   W.  P." Nisbett,
editor, Big Rapids.   A. 0.   Goehrend
J of Osceola.

Ed. Reakes of Vernon thinks sheep
are not so bad anyhow. From nine
ewes he sold nineteen lambs. Of the
nine one sheep's three lambs brought
S12.90 and the lambs from the other
eight S8.60 for each sheep along with
S2.25 for wool yielded him an average
of $10.85 from each sheep or close to
S100 from the nine sheep.
John Walton near Rosebush certainly did things in the sheep line at the
state fair. In premiums one animal
cleaned up for him well on to a hundred dollars. Here's the record: A
Leicester ram lamb won first in the
open class, first in the Michigan class,
junior champion and grand champion
over all. Other Leicester sheep and
lambs won three firsts, four seconds
and eightthirds.
Fay Wiles was brought over from
St. Johns last week to the scene of
his recent capture in search of an old
watch he stole in his midnight raid
in Clinton county some weeks ago.
An officer came along to see fair
play and the notorious criminal redeemed his promise digging up the
watch near an old stump in Chippewa
as well as some other robber plunder
at some other points.
Vernonites awoke the other day to
learn that a brother-in- law and sister-
in-law had decided it should be for
better or for worse. The contracting
parties are Mrs. Catherine MacKinnon
and Fred MacKinnon, The nuptial
event occured at Cadillac August 16th,
Rev. Thos, Coglan of the M..E.
church tieing the knot. Mrs. MacKinnon came to Vernon some years
ago with her late husband, Daniel,
and has resided there on the farm
continuously since. The recent approval on the part of the British
House of Lords after many years of
opposition to the law permitting a
man in England to-marry his deceased
brother's-wife is notsupposed to have
had anything to do with the event,
the gossipers to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. and Mrs. MacKinnon
are now busily engaged in building a
substantial farm home.
In closing the year's work at the
M. E. church Sunday Rev, G. W.
Maxwell declared it the best of the
three years he has been pastor, both
in attendance and presefltattitnde for
future work. Reports given showed
Sl,300 raised during the year, including S200 for church benevolences and
$200 for church improvements
and for debts on the church
property, which now valued at 85,000
has only $100 debt. Membership at
both Clare and Herrick churches, he
declared had increased, now 163 for
Clare. On his return for the fourth
year a month's series of special
meetings with an evangelist present
is announced for October.
Dr. W. A. ShaW pf Chicago gave
two masterly sermons to a crowded
house at the Congregational church
Sunday. Basing his morning theme
on a verse alluding to "wild asges"
he graphically showed man's likeness
thereto in unbridled passions and
lusts and then in words that went
right-to the heart held up the Christ
life as the great remedy.' He remained over till Thursday going
each evening to Dover to assist his
brother, Dr. 0. F. Shaw, in special
rheetings in progress there. A number of converts are reported. The
reverend gentleman is a great worker among boys, national secretary of
the anti-cigarette league, and went
from here to Ludington where on
Sunday all the churches unite for the
day under his leadership in that
cause. An orator of great ability

stating they were from this locality,
that the Clare county exhibit was best
even to a city visitor at the fair.
