from this locality that estimates Tor the
general fruit crops are most authentl-
caily made.
The village Of Shelby vas planted
something ike taenty years ago. tie
nrsg store being built ia 90. and plat
og the town made ia lsgl and -. it Is
pleasantly located on an elevation Of
ground about tgeiye miles from Lake
Mlehgan. surrounded by some Of the
beet fgmt and farming lands TO be
found and situated FAR enough from
competing points 10 make 1t trading
pnr ior large scope Of eountry.
The village Is nicely laid out. has
many hne dwellings,. a good graded
school system, good IRE projections
and everything up 10 the times, for
tom of is s.ze- While the main street
u not bnilt up 50 thoroughly with
handsome blocks as some places, yet
there arc number OF good brick build
ings, most OF the business men, how

ness, and when they built, went accord

Tested with 4 class OF business
men the ike of whom would
make any town prosperous one.
There Is no ggumbling aud kicking
about the dullness Of the timesand their
town IN partlcular-not one but what is
satisfied that they have the best town
for business, OF is size, and no one Is
more anxious thas the outside world
should know it than they. This IS such
an unusual occurrence that L could
not help noting it, aud think that if
such O practice were followed by many
other towns. different impression
would go cut which would result in
more good than 70 give q stranger an
idea tnat they were al anxious to get
out as quickly as the price OF a railroad
ticket could be raised.
socially, shelby is royal entertainer,

number of secret societies, a club room,
where a quiet evening may he passed
pleasantly, and the art OF entertaining
seems To oe one of their especial accom-
plishmeuts. RehgiOus!y, they are
Well represented, having several nice
churches. How well they attend them,

Will be there in large hunters. 1t Is
my intention 10 say more about the ad-
vantages of Shelby IA the line that
nature intended-the fruit industry
shan upon any other. THIS year the
crop Was rather on the scarce order, but
there Is q lot OF II for 81 failure. 1t
