MR.. SPRAGUE'S TRIP TO MICH.
IGAN.

Brandon. Miss, Sept. 1, 19O3.- Ed
itor Brandon News: Having been
raised to manhood in Cass county,
Michigan, something over one hun
dred miles east of Chicago, and hav-
ing relatives ad friends living in
that county, I naturally had desire
to return after thirty eight years of
absence to meet friends of my young
er days, and see the progress 'sof the
country. Time has wrought wonuer-
full changes in the appe arance of
both friends and country, many faces
that once was fam liar with I could
hardly recognize, while others had
retained their identity. Many had
passed over the river of the beyond.
others had smoved away and their
places filled with strangers, but such
is life.
Time has also changed the appearance
OF the country; forests have been
cleared off and stumps have disappear
ed, shade trees set out, rail fences gone
and stock law has taken away the ne
cessity of fences, only as they are
needed for the restraining of their
stock-most fences that are now being
built are of woven wire being durable
and preventing snow from drifting
as is the case witt wooden fences.
About one mile of Cassapolis, the
county seat of Cass county, commences
a beautiful lake with an island in
the center of about seventy acres with
plenty of shade and also shade around
its shores, which is lined with cot
tages and several large hotels owned
and occupied in summer by wealthy
people of Chicago and two or three
small steamers are Eowned by them,
also sail and row boats and bath
houses are many. In that part Of
Michigan the farm houses that used
to be small and medium size ale most
ly moved back and larger and more
modern ones are built There are
plenty of apple orchards from fifty to
sixty years old, some Of them hanging
full OF fruit, though the fruits as rule
is not as large as in the younger life
OF the trees. Peaches are not as
plentiful this year as common.
The wheat and oat crop were hardly
up to the average, but they will have

The Duties of an Editor.

There is an idea prevalent in the
. minds of many people that an editor
should do whatever he is told to do, that is
providing he is paid for 1t. These peo.
pie also think that an editor has nc
business to find fault with anything, or
anybody unless he is told TO do 80 and
| is paid for IT, Such people when they
have a fancied grievance against an.
other party have an idea they have only
to go to the editor, state their grievance,
and he must help them to achieve their
revenge. They have the idea that if the
editor has an enemy that he is warrant
ed in jumping on that enemy on every
occasion, and by damaging articles in
his paper do that enemy all the injury
he is able by fair or foul means, and by
charges false or true. They further
think that an editor, II he understands
his business, will cater to the rich and
powerful and by words Of praise he
should see to it that he gains their ap-
proval, and at all times he should be
careful never to offend those who are
placed in authority. We are aware that
there are q good many newspapers
which are conducted on the principles
as herein set forth, but they differ so
radically from our ideas of an editors
duties and the principles which should
actuate and govern newspaper that
we beg leave to dissent in toto from that
standard.
Our idea is best exemplifed by SOL
dier on guard, or a watchman on the
lookout from his tower. We conceive
it to be his duty at the approach of any
thing which menaces the peace and
comfort and welfare of the community
to give it the alarm, and to give it strong
enough to arouse the inmates Of the
household that they being made aware
of the situation may take steps to pro-
tect themselves. We do not think that
it is within the province of an editor to
publish anything in malice or revenge.
We conceive it to be his duty to speak
in praise of everything that is good and
censure everything that is evil which
concerns the public, regardless ofwheth-
er that censure strikes friend or foe.
When we are compelled to speak in
words Of disapproval of the action of a
citizen or an officer Of the nation or the
town, we do it from a sense of duty.
So far from having any feeling of spite
or bitterness in the matter we have
none. We have sounded the alarm,
we have called the attention to the evil.
And when those in whose department
the wrong has occurred have taken the
proper steps to correct that wrong, then
our duty is at an end. When the copy
passes from our hand there passes with
it all feeling and all care. We have
done our part, and there the matter
ends so far as We are concerned, and it
is banished from our mind and memory.
We are persuaded that we are right in
this matter, and while we so believe we
are not to be driven from our position,
either by the fear of punishment or the
hone of reward.

The Glorious Fourth.

The ever glorious Fourth of July has
come and gone, aud was enjoyed in
much the usual way. The small boy
started out in the morning well equipped
for making noise, and as in duty bound
he made 1t. There was no celebration
in Custer to mark the advent of our In
dependence, and in consequence many
went to Hill City, and some to Hot
Springs, where they could take plunge
bath and see the broncho busters bust.
Quite large crowd gathered at Hill
City from Keystone and the surrounding
country, and very entertaining pro-
gram was successfully carried out.
Probably one, OF the most enjoyable
celebrations of the Fourth of July in the
southern Hills was experienced at the
picnic given at the ranch of Mr.. Henry
Mahnke, about seven miles north west
from Custer. There were about $50
people in attendance, men, women and
children, and what contributed more
than all else to the enjoyment Of the oc.
casion, was the fact they were all friends
and acquaintances, who came with the
expectation and determination of having
a good time and they had 1t. They in
stituted the usual games, and had some
exciting horse races, but the best part of
the entertainment was the social feature.
The heart to heart talks of neighbors
and their families gathered together
under the shade ofthe trees to eat, drink
and be merry. The reviving Of old time
memories, the passing of lively jokes,
and the unrestricted play of the social
and intellectual faculties where friend.
ship abounds. These after all forms the
chief enjoyment of the human family.
1t is mistake to think that the most
stylish and expensive entertainments
yield the most happiness. Very few OF
such are free from envy, jealousy and
hate and where these crop out in any
degree all social happiness is dead.
The Glen Erin picnic which was held
in the grove on the ranch of our old
time resident, E. P. Walsh, east of town
was from all reports very enjoyable af.
fair. Mr.. w. has fine grounds for en-.
tertainments of this character, and many
q pleasant time our people have had in
the old grove in the happy days gone
by.

Our Water Works.

In our issue of May 30th an item ap-
peared in which we commented in not
very complimentary terms upon the fact
that the reservoir in our water works
had been allowed to run dry. This
might not have been discovered had it
not been that there was a fire started
from the lightning striking barn. 1t
created small blaze which was soon
extinguished by the people who flocked
so promptly to the scene. We contem-
plated what might have occurred had the
FIRE been in different place and at night
instead of in the middle of the day, and
We had need to bring into requisition
the benefits of our water works. II was
the second time the reservoir had been
allowed to become empty, and We ex-
pressed hope that our city council
would see to it that such thing should
not occur again. We have been CEN
sured for the kick We made at that time
and have been told that it would be bet
ter if we had more words of praise, and
were not so free to rebuke those who
just happened to make little mistake.
Well, We will try that just once to see
how IT goes, by announcing that on the
morning of the 7th the reservoir was
again allowed to run dry. Of course it
was small affair. 1t don't amount to
anything, just a joke you know. 1t would
be nice if some one would get off joke
Of this Kind oftener. 1t would be so
laughable, and contribute 80 much to the
fun and entertainment Of the common
ity. Those who cannot see the fun in
these little things must be lacking in
their sense Of humor and ought to invest
in copy of Mark Twain's "Roughing
it," or the lectures of "Artemus Ward"
After reading these books if it so be that
they still fail to see where the laugh
comes in they must be very dull indeed.

parting "merry marriage bells" chimed

trent member. During the service
Hearts and Flowers" was charmingly
rendered by Miss Dunn. Later an elab-
ate wedding supper was served by Mrs.

The race war is still on between the
blacks and the whites in Indiana and on
the 9th a mob of white men attacked
the Jail with the vowed intention of tax
ing a negro out of the prison and lynch
ing him. There were fifteen other
negros confined in the Jail for various
crimes and it is probable that the fury
of the mob was such that they would all
have to be lynched. The governor or.
dered out the militia who at last were
ordered to fire on the rioters, which
they did, killing seven and wounding 20
others. Governor Durham says he will

child, which was sick, and threw up all
food, could retain nothing on its stom-
