worked wonders, TANK KEE then
proceeded to give the value of Chinese

the prices of goods and labor. 1t

is impossible to do the lecture or

Our people have had an opportunity
of witnessing in measure the benefits
derived to our city by having ready
cash market for the produce of farmers.
1t will be conceded by all that there
has been more beef, pork, beans, -four,
oats, corn, hay, etc., bought and ship
ped from this city during the winter
thus far than for any previous year in
its history. Produce and supplies
have been brought here and sold from
Wild Rose, Oasis, Oxford, Buena
Vista. Stevens Point, Westfeld Plain
field and other places, which has not
been the case in any degree noticeable
for many years before. Why is this !?
Simply because it has been noised
abroad that Grand Rapids had cash
buyers for all manner OF supplies.
Prices paid were always fair aud the
seller was sure of disposing of all he
had at some price in cash. It was the
cash feature and the fact that it was
a shipping point which has been the
drawing cards. 1t is without doubt
mistaken notion among many merchant
that paying in trade for produce is
beneficial to the city. It is rather the
reverse. 1t discourages trade. It is
never wholly satisfactory to either
party and the cash system of doing
business would be much preferable to
all concerned and more profitable in
the end. Plainfeld merchants and
buyers built up splendid market in a
few years which has been the means of
greatly improving the surrounding
country and enhanced the value of all
kinds of property. Farmers will raise
whatever they can find ready cash
market for, and this money they invar-
iably spend in making improvements,
all Of which means better times for the
merchant, mechanic, lumberman, &c.
1t will be conceded also that until this
winter Grand Rapids had been a poor
market, Why? Plainfeld was also
poor market until about nine years
ago she secured the Central railroad
and then her merchants and buyers
began paying in cash for everything
that was merchantable. The prices
need not necessarily be high, but sure
and in cash. This will always make
business boom, SO to speak, Should
not our people follow the example of
PIainfeld There is no reason why
this city should not be the best market
and shipping point in the northern
part of the state. Excellent railroad
facilities for shipping to all points in
the state. Messrs. Talmadge & Blod-
gett, Wood & Allen, G, e. DAILY & Bro.
Spaford & Cole and r. Parrish & Bro.
have been the principal buyers in this
city the present season.

During the past week, very i'm
portant surgical operation was per-
formed by DR.. Robinson, assisted by
D. D, Bishop. The history of the
case, as related to us, is as follows -
Last summer the patient, Delbert
Armen, boy about ten years old,
took a severe cold while swimming in
the Yellow river, at Pittsville. The
cold developed into necrosis, or death
of bone, and the patients left arm
and leg became affected. The people
of Pittsville raised a purse of money
(the parents being poor) and sent the
boy, in company with DR.. Wood, to
Chicago, to have an operation preform-
ed. The results were not as satisfact-
ory as anticipated, and finally, short
time ago, the boy was taken in charge
by the county, and DIR. Robinson, the
county physician, took charge of the
case. On Wednesday the patient was
put under the influence of an@sthetics
the arm cut open and the bone taken
out. As soon as the patient RECEIVERS
sufficiently to stand the shock, the
same operation will be performed on
his leg. The doctor has hopes that
the boy will come out all right yet
Tribune.
We are glad to say that the boy in
the above operation is doing well
The bone taken out of his arm was
nearly five inches long. It is earnestly
hoped that the boy may recover.
