grown larger, as the orchards in.
creased in size and the trees became
of bearing age. Last fall the PEG.
pie interested in the growth of the
agricultural interests of Alpena had
the pleasure of seeing plums brought
to town by the wagon load, and
large quantities were shipped to
other places and found a ready sale.
The plum crop has become an
important part of Alpena's produc-
tons, and those enterprising and
far seeing farmers who planted
orchards have begun to reap the re-
ward for their investments.
The soil and climate of this re-
gion are well adapted to the success
full growth of plums. Even the
sandy lands in the city have been
tried and found good for growing
plums. On many of the city lots
plum trees, loaded with the delici-
Gus fruit, can be seen at the proper
season.
Of late great movement has
taken place to immensely increase
the plum crop, and arrangements
have been made by Alpena land
owners to plant at least 10000 plum
trees next spring in various parts of
the county. The parties concerned
in this important investment will
plant from 500 to 1000 trees each.
In addition to the above, there is
no doubt but that many more thou
sand trees will be planted in small
lots by farmers, and thus III a few
years Alpena will be able to supply
the State with thousands of bushels
of plums, besides furnishing the
home demand.
Alpena is destined to become the
great plum growing county of
Michigan.

Agricultural Society-Secretary's Re-
port.


At recent meeting of the AL
pena County Agricultural Society,
the Secretary, John Monaghan,
made the following report, which
we think our readers will find in
teresting and worthy of perusal.
Mr.. Monaghan touches on home
matters that our farmers and others
will do well TO consider:
In presenting my report of the
fifteenth annual fair, | would con-
graduate the society on the success
attending it. It was by all odds
the best exhibition ever held in this
county, and this result is largely
owing to the energy of your Presi-
dent, w. E. Rogers, who sought
every opportunity to further its in
terests and promote it's success.
The success attending this fair
shows that enterprise and liberal
expenditures for attractions are APP
preciated by the people, and are
necessary to the success of even
county fairs.
In the matter of exhibits the sue
cess was as great as it was in a
financial light, though some depart
ments, notably those of cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry, were
not as full as the management would
like to have seen, and did not re-
ceive as much attention as they de-
served at the hands of our farmers.
The following are the exhibits:

Wash Goods f.!

1t may seem early to talk
of cotton dress goods, but
it is not too early to buy
them. The stocks are now
at their best, and many of
the choicest effects will be
sought in vain as the season
advances. The counters of
wash dress goods are towers
of beauty, we never had the
pleasure of showing a stock
so grand as the present, and
there certainly is nothing
like it in this city. Not a
yard was carried over from
last season. French mulls,
in floral and conventional
designs, French organizes,
printed nainsooks, swival
silk ginghams, French chal-
lies, French sateens, will be
strong this season, and de-
servedly so.

This favored county of Alpena
has been proved beyond all doubt
to be one of the best and surest
plum growing regions Of the United
States. That fact has been undeni-
ably established by several years of
growth of that luscious and greatly
priced fruit. Plum growing is no
longer an experiment in Alpena
county, but is an established fact.
For years past plum trees, loaded
with fruit, could be seen in the
orchards of this county. Fine ex-
hibits of the fruit could be seen by
all who desired, at the county fairs,
Year by year the crop of plums has

for which they can return thanks

The severe blizzard last Sunday
had no terrors for four men and
two women of the Salvation Army,
and they made their usual Sunday
afternoon street parade, while a

The women each carried a banner,
but it was not an easy task wading
through the snow on the street and
carrying big banner against the
gale.

The Pioneer charges the Demo-
Gratis with making the last amend
ments to the city charter, and leg
islating Republicans out of control
of the city affairs. IL the Council
proceedings of 1901 are examined,
it will be found that the four Re-
publican aldermen voted for six
wards, and the two Democrats voted
against the change, and the bill
that the Pioneer finds fault with
was got through the State Legisla-
ture by Republican representative,
l.. G. Dafoe,-so the Democratic
party can not be charged with that
act. The Pioneer has probably for
gotten the matter.
