Through the courtesy of ID. A. Blod-
gett, Esq, while OH brief business
visit to Hersey, last Saturday, we were
shown through his fine young fruit or
chard. Time and space will not tpermit
us to enumerate the many varieties Of
apples, pears and plums clinging in
clusters to the branches, and even
breaking down the trees. 1t was the
handsomest sight in it's line that we
have seen since coming to Michigan;
and clearly demonstrates the fact that
fruit can be raised to perfection in this
part of Northern Michigan; for what
one man has done, others may do.
The Osceola Outline, of last week,
says: "a great calamity has fallen up
on our farming community. Owing to
the continued rains and warm wealth {
er, last week, and part of this week, .
the wheat has sprouted I'm the sheaf,
and hundreds of acres of grain which
two weeks ago, gave such great prom
ise, are now comparatively worthless.
The loss is severely felt throughout this Z
and adjoining counties, where wheat
is the staple crop depended upon by the )
farmers for most Of their money and l
necessaries of life. 1t is fiveycars sisce c
there was grown wheat In hissection.n
Elsewhere in this issue may be found :
! call for meeting of the officers and !,
directors Of Lake County Agricultural
Society, one week from next Saturday.
We understand that It is also, the wish
If the managers that all the members >,
md friends of the Society be present.
\ sociable meeting of the people and
m exhibition of the products Of our Il
county Is desirable matter. To &C. n
'omplish this work must be done. If q
III take hold with zeal and earnestness Y
he work will be quickly and easily
performed. If left to q few 1t is apt to u
'ecome too great burden, and fail Of
uccess.
Having received intimations from
ifferent sources that insinuations are b
eing thrown out against the STAR--in @
ffect that 1t shows partially In the =
natter Of the two denominations now "
the religious field at Bald n
vim; In Justice to ourselves, and In de- Of
ence of our business interests, we will ~
tate to the general public that the pa
'er has not nor will not lend itself to N
ny injustice to either Of the scots now q
'redominating here. Both have asked - -
or favors In our columns, and have .,
Iever been refused. Neither IL there II
ny prospect that either will be in the a.
uture, for the simple reason that when n
We publish these items II Is done for the V,
ood ofthe cause, and not to build up or r

n 30 far as our own peculiar views are "
