GFROM OUR REGULAR REPORTER
Mr.. ]. r. Heron was suffering from
an acute attack Of neuralgia yesterday,
which we hope will be of short dura-
ton and that Joe may soon be able to
return to his post of duty.
Business was on boom in our town
yesterday. The streets were crowded
with wagons and people from eally
morn until late in the evening.
We desire to call the attention of the
business men, of our little town to the
washout in the river bank at the old
ferry landing, which, il attended to
Immediately, will only require the

Our City's Bnrden'S.

The unknown man, evidently u
Swede, of whom we made mention as
having been picked up in a critical
condition near the Jewish Gene
terry, Monday, is recovering, but
is still unconscious.
The officers of the City gave him all
the attention that it was possible for
them to do; gave him refreshments of
different kinds, kept him warm and
this morning there is a decided i'm
provement, for the better, in his con-
dition and he is likely to be released in
few days, so far restored in health as
to be able to take care of himself.
The we'll known charity of this city
is so wide spread that other communi-
ties, more able to attend to their poor
and INDECENT, have foisted their pau
pers upon US and our people have not
only willingly furnished the INDECENT
poor with medicines as we'll as the SUBJ
stances of life, but have clothed them
and paid their expenses of travel to
charitable institutions. The same good
deed will be repeated when nescessary,
though, let us tell our neighbors
that instead Of foisting their poor on
the shoulders Of an already overbur.
dened city, they practice charity a bit
themselves. "Go to Monroe. Ask the
Mayor to help you," is about the way
oft. Let the next Legislature pass q
bill establishing Charity Hospital a,
Monroe. This is the great central
point and this is the best location iu
the state outside of the city of New
Orleans for such an institution. Lei
this subject be brought before the Leg
islature by our representative and SCI
if he can't do something In this direec
tion.

River News.

The Josie w., will be in port to-
morrow morning loaded fiat. When
you hear the rumbling sound of her
whistle, HE thee hither to the river,
and witness a sight that will be worth
seeing.
A ten foot rise in the river Is reported
from Cameen-and still rising.
The river at noon today stands
4 feet, 10 inches above low water mark,
which means that there is now clear
channel of full eight feet, enough
water, in our opinion, to admit OF the
John H. Hanna, which boat leaves
New Orleans this evening, coming
through.
Our old friend, the Ouachita, is still
on intimate terms with US and seems
to understand what we meant about
"making things hum" Another rise
Of, say, s or 10 feet more will enable
us to run out a full river report daily.
The Little Boone left this forming
to meet the Hanna, though it was our
impression that the Hanna might come
through on the present stage of the
river. The difficulty we opine is at
the Cntahoula Shoals which wants its
toll twisted by Government appro.
priation.

OUR MICHIG AN LETTER.

NILES. Mich, June 24, 1885 -5P.M.
 Perhaps your readers will not object to hearing few words from your Mich igan correspondent occasionally, al- though the subject of greatest interest to western people is agriculture, and just at this season the wheat crop is our great concern, wheat being our great staple.
 While some of our neighboring states complain of their wheat prospects, fear ing that the crop will be short from various causes, such as winter killing, the ravages of the fly and other casual ties to which the crop is liable, wheat in Michigan, especially in the southern portion of the state, never looked better at this season of the year and never promised more abundant yield. With favorable weather for the next 20 days the prospect now is that we will harvest a crop of wheat in Michigan equal to any ever produced, either in quantity or quality, in the state, and as wheat growing region Michigan is equal to any state in the Union.
 The wheat stands thick on the ground, has attained good growth and is now in blossom. Harvesting will commence about July and with ordinarily good weather the crop will be secured in ten days, as all harvesting Is done by ma chinery, and after it is begun no other work is allowed to interfere until it is completed.
 The farming in Michigan and in all the great west is quite different from farming in New England, as different ai is the soil and face of the country. w have no mountains, but few hills, nc stone to interfere with farming, ricl soil, easily cultivated, with climate a healthful as even famed New England
 In manufacturing we yield the pain to the eastern states, but are able ant willing to feed the operatives of New England. R. W. LANDoN.

kOUTHFIELD.

W. G. Cargill arrived home last Sat urday to spend the Fourth.
 A mishap occurred on Sunday last just before services ended at the Bap- tist church. E. D. Norton and family were coming down the east hill east of the village, when the horse took fright from the raising of an umbrella and ran through the village, though not until leaving the family and wagon box in the ditch, we'll shaken up and somewhat tumbled, especially MT Norton, who was thought to be hurt bad, but upon get ting him into E. c. Baldwin's and sit ting few minutes he came out all right. The wagon was wreck.
 The Fourth being so near at hand the young folks begin to wonder where the small cannon are coming from, but Baldwin has them, frecrackers, large and small, also aligators that make won- derful noises.
 John Doton at Lake Buell. will be re- membered and probably large delega- tion from Southfeld will call upon him on the Fourth.
 Teachers ill town being mostly through with their schools have their papers to draw their pay.
 The ordinance of baptism Was admin istered to five in the Baptist church Sab- bath evening by Rev A. N. Benedict F. Walter, Willie Baldwin, Frank Cook Grover Baldwin and Irmer Benedict.

The Meeting at Norfolk. The Minated
 Delegation Check Full of Courage. To tue Editor of THe Ners:
 Have just returned from the W. 0. T. U. held at Norfolk. Delightfulr' all exclaimed; Q success in every particular; great delegation from Winsted, more than from any other town. Norfolk never looked better, all dressed in love- ly green. Her parks, her pleasant homes, all contribute to make us feel at home with her ever hospitable citizens.
 Most of the speakers were present that were expected-Mrs Buel, Miss Lamphier, our state organizer, our pres ident, Mrs s. B. Forbes, who always fills her place well. We wish we could give you full report, but as I cannot, will say that we came home filled with cour- age to go on and never give up praying, fighting for the cause that needs assist ance.
 This praying is all well, but we must have the ballot to cast in favor of no i- cense; in favor of this great cause, tenn perance; yes, before we can have clear conscience that we as women have done all that lies in the power of a responsi- ble creature to do.
 Yours truly, for God, home and na- tive land, MAP.
