man last Wednesday attended meet
ing of the Michigan auxiliary commit
tee on horses for the Worlds Fair, held
in Detroit A committee was appoint
ed to go before the legisla-
ture at its coming session and urge that
an appropriation of money be made TO

dental expenses of intended horse ex-
hibitors at the Worlds Fair
We would like to see DR.. Harrison
equip his mill property east of the Will
age with machinery for paper making
No better site could be wished for, and
we believe it would be a paying invest
ment. There is not a paper mill in
this region but that is running night
and day and always from one to three
months behind their orders. The Allie
gan mills have found it necessary to
enlarge their works and increase their
capacity, and so it is all over the
country, so far as we know
We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Detroit Weekly Tribune ap-
pearing in another column 1t has been
known for over 80 years as the great
general weekly of Michigan, the pres
ent subscription list of $4,000 names
being proof of its merit. Until Jan.
18th this paper will send to- every new
subscriber remitting them one dollar
and ten cents the Weekly Tribune for
one year and Bill Nye's new book of
500 pages and $50 illustrations, postage
paid. 1t is remarkable offer.
The Michigan monthly crop report
for December shows that wheat in the
southern four tiers of counties have suf-

sects, but late rains have improved its
appearance. Compared with the. gyaw.ss- =
and vitality of the AYR % years the
condition is 80 per ce,,SSfin the southern.
SO in the central, 81 in the northern and
sc in the state. The condition i'm 1890
was 90 and 1891, 93 per cent The total
number of bushei of wheat marketed
in November was / ,297, ,052; from Aug.
to Dec. 1, 6,737, 1876, which is 273, i59
bushels less than for the same period
last year. All live stock goes into
winter quarters in condition, and but
two or three points below full aver
age Only two correspondents in the
state report it suffering from any dis
ease. The yield of corn is reported
very light
TO pursue the CONTROVERSY the
Courier evidently desires To keep up
with this paper concerning the cowardly
attack made by it upon Judge Heckert
for political purposes, at time when
no opportunity was afforded him to
make answer thereto, would be but to
dignity a baseless charge against an
honest man and piece of conduct that
fair minded men pronounce exceeding
ly reprehensible. We are engaged i'm
attempting to edit and in publishing
newspaper, the space In which belongs
to our patrons, and we cannot trespass
upon their good nature by the further
discussion of matter that is back

bare. 1t will be Il cardinal principle with
us not to use our paper as II medium
through which to air the little personal
differences whi h may from time to
time arise as between ourselves and

which form part of what appears in the
COurier'S last issue.
