1t is located about Is miles from Grand Rapids
On the Marshtield and Southeastern Railroad.
Jupiter Pluvius has asserted himself
with much persistency during the past
two weeks. When he las not been
actively engaged IN reigning his rain
upon us his scOWling countenance has
kept us in fever Of fear. Even the
"Vlvltvlng orb of day" seems to have
been utterly vanqushed.' Occasionally
he makes a sort of half hearted effort
to assert his prerogative but, becoming
discouraged, disappears from view as
quickly and ingloriously as does a
Spanish fleet before Yankee pigs. Oh,
Jupiter p We are damp. Yea, we are
wet and weary. Yea, verify, we feel
like saturated sponge. Be good to US.
Rein up your rain or 60 and reign over
the unjust whom you can easily find in
some other localitv-Grand Rapids for
instance. There must also be a whole
lot of people there who need additions.
Dry up! Give US an opportunity to run
ourselves through clothes Wringer and
then hang ourselves over the fence in
the bright sunshine that we may once
more be dry.
The action taken by the candidates
for county offices, looking toward purer
and more honorable methods Of con-
Quoting their campaigns, is supremely
cOmmendable. AS candidates in the
past were entirely responsible for the
shameful, disgraceful and debauching
practice of running their campaigns
largely on whisky and beer, it is more
than gratifying to know that we have a
set Of candidates who propose to con-
duct their campaign in a decent and
respectable manner. 1t is sincerely
and deVoutly to be hoped that no future
candidate will ever stoop to the shock
ing, debasing method of the past, more
degrading to the candidate than to those
whom he hopes to influence. Our
present candidates deserve the thanks
of every decent person in the county
for the mani y stand they have taken.
To w. H. Bean, the hustllng Hansen
merchant, belongs the credit of buying
and shipping the first car of grain ever
shipped from this locality. The ship
ment consisted Of oats and was loaded
at Cahill's spur. Bean is a crackajack
He knows what he wants and goes after
1t. There are no flies on him, they
can't keep up with him.
The fragrance-laden breezes which
some time since came to US from the
southeast are explained in thiswise.
Over in the De Beers neighborhood
they have been gathering a crop of
about two carloads ofoniOns. The crop
is said to be fine. That it is also strong
and odoriferous needs no saying,
The sight of numbers of stalwart men
coming north into the woods with their
exits and wild geese going south in
search of more congenial Toosting
place, causes little ripples of refrigera-
ton to caper up and down our spinal
column for they are both sure precursors
Of relentless winter.
