hanging himself in his woodshed. He

BENToNvILLE, ARK. March 10.
To the Editor:
Enclosed find m. O. for renewal To our
old friend The TRUE NoRTHENER, and
wodld not be surprised IL ours was the
only copy taken in Arkansas.
am aware of the general ideas en-
tertained by the people of Michigan In
regard To this state, its climate and its
people. There are localities, perhaps,
where to considerable extent these
antipathies would be justified by the
facts, but in this part of the state there
has been considerable progress made i'm
the last eight years. During this period
many people from the northwestern
states have settled here and, as in all
other localities in the south where
northerners settle, things begin to look
up and move.
Bentonville is the county seat of Ben
ton county, in the northwest corner of
the state. 1t has population of 1000
people, and the county nearly 10000.
1t has a good public school building
and an enrolment of over 400 pupils.
The city has just raised the funds for
and will at once commence the erection
of college. Work is already COM
menced toward putting in an electric
light plant, and IL is the intention dur
ing the summer to put in water works.
The surrounding country is handsome
and fertile, and fruit raising is becom-
ing the leading industry. All kinds of
grain, grasses and vegetables grow and
yield we'll an excellent country for
horses, mules, cattle and sheep, and a
veritable paradise for hogs and poultry.
The winters are short and mild; have
had but five weeks this year.
We are on what is known as the
Ozark range, 1900 feet above sea level,
and this high altitude gives us warm
days and cool nights in summer and a
climate as healthy as in any part of our
country. AT this writing gardens are
made, spring crops being planted, trees
and shrubs of early foliage leaving out
and blossoming Wheat and grapes are
growing nicely and looking finely. It's
a great change from the country we
left in Northern Michigan.
We are on farm - miles south of
Bentonville, on the public road from
that place to Rogers, nice town on the
Frisco railroad five miles east of us
Our family consists of my mother,
Sabra G.. Luce, myself and wife, George
Burns, our son-in-law, and daughter
Emma and their two little boys, our son
Fred and daughter Inez, so that we
have quite little Michigan colony OF
our own-the only one we know of in
this immediate vicinity.
Respectfully yours,
j. w LUCE.
