The Woodmen of the World held a
good meeting in their Hall last Tues,
day evening and adopted three new
ones and balloted on eight more. This
is some of the good work of Deputy
Phillips, who has been with us the
past two weeks and done us great
deal of good. AT the close of the meet
ing the camp voted unanimously to
have Deputy Phillips return in Janu,
ary and give them another lift. After
which the Camp honors were given
him and the meeting closed in due
form. We heartily recommend Deputy
Phillips to any Camp who needs good
honest rustler.

Grain stacking is progressing finely,
our farmers having commenced that

of the country threshing has been

A good lesson can be learned from
the career of one of our citizens.
Several years ago he started life with
a fine farm, good buildings, machinery
and stock, all paid for. But being
like some other over-ambitious persons
could not leave we'll enough alone,
but rapidly branched out in his busi-
ness, mortgaging his farm, stock and
the like in order to do so. But like
all other 'sjacks of all trades did not
succeed in any, and now will soon
have to sell off all in order to square
himself up with the world, and will
now have to begin life anew.

Harry Williams of Sturgis, Mo-, is the

following is copy of a clipping from
the Mancelona Herald referring to Mr..
Williams:
He made two balloon ascensions at
Kalkaska the 4th OF July. each OF which
eclipsed anything we have ever seen in
that line. The balloon was a new one,
and at the first ascension in the after.

ed to stay with the balloon, which went
above the clouds and completely out of
sight. The ascension made in the even

played fireworks till he got to an i'm.
mense height, and in fact till he was out
of sight and not glimmer of light
could be seen.
Mr.. Williams will make an ascension

evening Of Sept. from the fair grounds

highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. 1t saved my little
daughters life. | am anxious for

Transformation!

/, Sixty years ago the plow was a rude
and primitive looking implement
made mostly of wood. A blacksmith
OF that time, John Deere, transformed
the plow of his day from rude thing
to a highly tempered and polished
steel implement.
In the short time that has since
elapsed, it is not expected that the
common blacksmith should have been
able to learn all the intricacies about
the plow.
Well may the average smith be able
to sharpen plow share without much
altering the shape of the same, but
the original temper is gone, and when
it comes to making new lays he is not
in it, and few smiths outside of the
plow factories are doing work in this
line that is worth having done, and if
done for nothing, would still in most
cases be expensive compared with
good work.
This is the time of the year when
every botch pretends to be plowman
and in order to cover up their short
comings use wild expressions like:
champion" Expert" "World-
beater."
DON'T BE DECEIVED!
60 to John G.. Holmstrom. He has
had 25 years experience, 10 OF which
has been in some of the best plow
factories in the country.
Said farmer to this great plowman
the other day: II brought load of
grist to the mill and watch to the
watch maker and besides this l have
spent some twenty dollars in the
stores, all because / had to come to
you for my repairs. -
All that this smith now asks is,
that the politicians will lay low and
never say boo, and he will bring pros
perity to Cresco via. the five corner
route.

oucRwheat Grinding and Special Premi-
ums on Bread.
Mr.. Privat, manager of the Flor
|enceville Roller Mills, takes this
method of informing the public that
they are setting up their buckwheat
rolls, and want their share of the
grinding of the considerable quanti-
ties of buckwheat grown in this
vicinity, guaranteeing to give as
good flour and as good yield as any
other mill for good, clean buckwheat.
They will be ready to grind in the
month of September and until the
season closes, once a week only, on
Fridays of each week. Those who
want their buckwheat ground on rolls
and want first class article will do
well to cut this out and paste it in
their hats so they won't forget the
place.
This mill also intends to make an
exhibit of their products at the
coming Fair, and will offer suitable
prizes to the young ladies willing to
compete and exhibit bread made from
their Straight or Patent flour; also to
the married ladies, all having the
same flour made the same day and
from the same wheat, and can
choose their own prize from any store,
Of a price to be decided on later. If
you wish to compete send them your
name and one week before the Fair a
10-pound sack of flour will be delivered
to you at wholesale price. Local
patrons may get their -four at the
mills. None barred the more the
better.
