Jacob Walton is in receipt of letter
from the superintendent of the state
public schoel at Coldwater, soliciting
places for couple of boys from the
school in families of this section. Any
person desiring a bright active boy from
8 to 10 years of age to raise, would do
well to apply to Mr.. Walton, or leave
word at the TRIBUNE Office where he can
get it, when their application will be

TuscOrora township is perhaps being
more rapidly developed than any ether
of the outlying towns of the county. The
citizens are enterprising and prOgres
siye. The soil is equal to the best In
Northern Michigan, Many Of the set
tiers have alread large clearings and the
improvements made indicate industry,
thrift and prosperity. 1t is not unusual
for the farms to produce 81 bushels Of
spriRg wheat to the acre, among the
stumps. M. w. King last season from
two acres planted raised large dent corn
that husked out 200 baskets Of matul cd
ears every grain Of which will grow when
planted. Mr.. Kings oats threshed out
65 bushels to the acre. Where is there
any section in tho state that will beat
it?
The TRIBUNE is not in the habit of
calling attention to itself, and perhaps
it is unnecessary now, but we wish to
to direct the readers particular atten-
tion to the quantity and character Of tho
reading matter which we are publishing
for $1.50 per year. Fifty columns Of
matter in each issue, fully half Of which
is pure reading matter, principally local
and editorial, every line Of which is set
up and printed at home. Few weekly
papers in the country uncsnnected with
a daily furnish the quantity and variety
of reading matter that The TRIBUNE
does, and our friends will do rs favor
by calling the attention of their ac-
quaintances, who may need a clean,
healthy family paper, to the merits OF
The TRIBUNE.

the winter, the Thermometers ranging

tions to 81 Q below at Mr.. Walton's resi-
dsncs on the hill. Mr.. Walton says 1t
