General Conditions.


 Dry weather prevailed. with moderately warm days and quite cool nights, except night temperatures more seasonable to- wards close of week; in some northern central and nothern counties, cotton late, corn and minor crops suffering for moist ure; in fact, a general rain would ! be beneficial in all districts. Cotton con- tinues to shed badly, with rust more gen. eral than heretofore; in some districts. 1t has stopped growing and blooming and Is shedding leaves, blooms. and young bolls; taken as a whole, there has been a slight deterioration in condition of the crop, due mostly to the effect of excessive heat of previous week; 1t Is opening rapidly on uplands and slowly on low lands, with picking quite general in mid- dle and southern counties and getting we'll started in the northern district; damage by worms Is comparatively slight; 1t is difiicult, as yet. to estimate the yield, but. while 1t may be better than in 1902 1t will very probably be below the average, un- less conditions are favorable during re- mainder of season and frost Is late. Early corn Is being housed slowly, the yield being very good; late corn Is maturing satisfactorily in southern and middle counties, but failing in the northern dis trict for lack of moisture. Fodder. pull ing is about completed, except in the northern district and good crop of this forage Is being saved. Much hay was saved during the week. Sweet potatoes are yielding well, and all minor crops are generally satisfactory. though they would be benefited by)rain. st

this week on a tour of investigation
and will pick up pointers relative to
matters coming specially under their
supervision as the committee to see
that the city streets ore lighted.
They will first go to Lowell, and
from there to Grand Rapids, Holland,

other cities.
Alderman Hudson. Fisher and Clark
are the committee and it is their pur-
pose to get a thorough insight into
the working of the best system OF
street lighting. as the city has voted
to expend $4,000 this year in that di-
rection, and the contract for furnish
ing it will be let in the course of a
couple of months.
The committee has also been charg
ed with the important duty of pur'
chasing a good team for the city and

TO HAVE SANITARIUM
DIR. Spinney OF Reed City to
Come.
COOKS CORNERS HOTEL PROPERTY
IL the Probable Site-Deal Practically y
Closed-IIouse VIII BE Remodeled
with Modern improvements.

DR.. Andrew B. Spinney is negotiat'
ing deal with M. S Boss for the old
Cooks Corners hotel property with a
view to Transforming it into sani-
tarium
A few months ago the Reed City
sanitarium of which Mr.. Spinney was
the owner and proprietor, burned,
and since then he has been looking
tor suitable location to establish an
other. The property at the Corners
was brought to his attention some
time ago as being an ideal place, and
last Tuesday in company with his son
j. II. Spinney was here and looked it
over. A bargain was closed for the
property, and the deal, it is expected
will be consummated this week.
The house will be remodeled con
siderably inside. Steam heat, elec'
trio lights, hot and cold water and
other conyeniences will be put in to
make it a comfortable and pleasant
hospital.
The doctor operated the sanitariun
at Reed City very successfully, which
was not only source of revenue t.
him, but he paid out thousands O.
dollars annually into the business o
the city. He will ask some favors o
our citizens to assist in contemplate
Improvements, and will in a fev
days, meet the people here and la,
before them his plans.
The tablishment of such an insti
tuition here would be an excellent ad
dition to the interests of the city.

conferences of 80 and III, the South
repeatedly declared that they would
accept nothing short of the independ-
ence of the Southern Confederacy.
Mr. Spear eloquently rehearsed the
causes leading up to the war, of the
call for 10, 900 troops and of the 50o,-
600 which quickly responded, of the
dark days of '62 .and the sacrifices
made in defense of the Union.
SIN order to properly honor those
who maintained our national integ-
ritv in the great Civil War, two
things are necessary. We must know
what blessings and privileges have
conn from the successful issue of the
war and then we must know and per-
form the obligations that arise from
these blessings and privileges.
Today we have a country whose
flag is recognized and honored by
every nation on the face of the globe
and wherever that flag waves the
American citizen has assurance OF
full protection. BY settling, once for
ali. the question of national SOW
ereignty, the repetition of Civil War
was made practically impossible.
With the freeing of the slaves, there
came opportunities and obligations,
the like of which have been accorded
to but few generations in the worlds
history. The negro had had dark
and unrecorded pasts Brought from
| African heathenism to American
slavery, what wonder that he was
poor, ignorant and degraded. AT the
close of the war there was scarcely a
school of any grade that was open tC
him. Right well has this nation
grappled with these difficulties and
met these obligations, and yet the
great work of uplifting the negro has
ONLY begun. Two representative mer
stand before the world today as the
champions of this great principle
One is the recognized leader OF the
colored race, Booker T Washington
the other is the leader of all races II
this great republic, President Theo
dore Roosevelt. All honor TO thai
great negro who can be as fair will
the southern white as he is frank witt
the southern negro. All honor TO tha
noble president who can be as coura
geous with the southern white as he Il
loyal to the southern negro.
The glorious results of the civil wa
make it impossible for us to forge
our noble defenders They live il
monuments that can not grow Did no
decay. The memory of our heron
dead does not depend upon htele~
bronze and marble for perpetuity, bu
: their monument is the freedom. graf
itude and progress of the negro race
Their monument is the unity an
