EDrToR SUM- have been thinking Of writing
you an item for your paper but now must give
you an accounts Of the cold, backward spring and
summer. Everything is very backward fof this
time Of year. Farmers have only just got their
corn planted. Those Of them who were fortunate
or unfortunate enough to have few things up il
tho garden had them nearly all cut down by the
severe frost Of Wednesday night. Somewho had
their plants protected as they supposed found on
uncovering them that they were cut with the rest.
Ice froxe in places here to the depth OF fourth

ton and have even gone SO far as to
endeayor to form third party.
In this connection a Washington tele-
gram says it is believed there that the
movement viii amount to nothing. In
reality the men who are supposed to
be interested were responsible for the
nomination of Blaine, and there is no
reason why they should not support
him. The remnant never did and
never will have much force in Ameri-
can politics, and it Is quite as offensive
for them to dictate a choice of candi-
date as to have it declaimed by some
of the ordinary political machine.
There are always a few iisgruntled
men who insist that they viii not sup
port a ticket, but such as have influ-
ence worth seeking are invariably
drawn into a canvass before it is over.
There is not one of President Arthur's
friends and active supporters who will
not join in the support Of Mr.. Blaine
as cordially as if his own candidate
had been nominated.

The more we investigate the more fully are we
convinced that the foolishest thing Michigan
man, desiring farm, can do, is to turn his back
upon the millions Of acres of rich, undeyeloped
farming lands Of the state, and squander his
tneans in shipping his family and effects beyond
the pales of civilization to that mythical land OF
billiards and starvation konwn through the ad-
Tertising agents as Dakota.
The above from a Grand Haven,
Mich, journal is as untrue as it is
yenemous and reflects anything but
credit upon writer who would in any
manner endeayor to check the tide of
emigration seeking happiness and con-
tentment on the broad, fertile prairies
of Dakota, where thousands of Michi-
gan's best citizens have already changed
their positions from penury and de-
pendence to independence and even
luxury. The person who belittles this
glorious land does SO through the
grossest ignorance or a reprehensible
desire to prevent others from surpass-
ing him in the race of life. Dakota
stands to-day the brightest and the
purest star in the galaxy Of states
ordained by Heaven as refuge for the
oppressed of all nations, kindreds and
tongues. Her civilization is of the
highest order, her people rather above
the law than under it, as court records
will show. Her educational and re-
ligious facilities are second to none,
and far surpass those Of Michigan, as
the writer well knows from experience.
AS regards starvation, want is some.
thing entirely unknown. Here in
Brown county we have no poor asy-
lum and no necessity for one, although
hundreds coming here, and many Of
them from Michigan too, have not a
penny with which to begin life in the
land of their choice. But no matter
how poor person may be, if he but
possess a spirit Of thrift, and Michi-
gan people who have made Dakota
their home are not lacking in that
essential element, the grand resources
Of the country pour their richest offer
ings into his store and he fully realizes
shat here is the goodly heritage which
his imagination pictured out when in
his brightest moments he built air
castles Of wealth, happiness and pros
perity. Beyond The pales Of ciyiliza-
tion,' indeed no, not half 50 much 50
as the poverty stricken hamlets among
sand and stnmps to which the palzied
finger Of the Michigan editor points as
fit abiding places for such q class of
citizens as Michigan can boast. Let
the poor misanthropc who penned ths
paragraph cited above pay q visit to
Dakota, already the fifth in grain pro-
ducing states and third in minerals,
where the land farmers got for the
asking IS now promising forty bushels
Of No. / hard to the acre, and he will
know no more peace Of mind until he
forsakes his ague-stricken abode in
the woods and casts his. lot with Da-
kota's prosperous thousands.

BIRLR1 AND DRATH


Below we give the complete list Of
births and deaths in, Mobiles county for
the year 1883 as returned by the several:
townships. The Hersey report arrived
only day or two ago and we learn that
Olney and Summit Lake, which dc. not
appear in the table, have made no re-
turn owing to the fact that reports
were not made to the clerks. The
births, it will be seen,, outnnmber the
deaths nearly four to one. Willmont
seems to be the banner township, going
"solid" as usual and all one way, with
II births and no deaths. Something
must he done with Willmont to break
up this habit of going so harmonious,
''unimuss' and all one way or it will
hold the balance Of power incur county
and politicians will bid high for it's
vote. Ransom, Lorain, Elk, Graham
Lakes and Hersey are the other towns
which report no deaths. WorthinRton,
as is usual with great Hubs and CEN
tres, shows quite per cent. Of deaths:

A Ransom correspondent writes US
and does us the credit to say "the good
old trip-hammer ADVANCE has done
more than any 20 men to build up the
county," A farmer who came in last
week to pay his subscription said that
he and his neighbors had agreed to
stand by the ADVANCE which had
stood by them since 1872, and fought
for them and with them through grass.
