The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1907-06-01

Well, at last 1t Is settled. and the
Michigan Legislature, or rather the
senatorial branch, has done the bust
ness. The rest of the country may go
back and take a seat, so far as desig-
mating the presidential candidate is
concerned. A few days ago the Michi-
gan Senate met to consider the state of
the Union and delivered itself of a lot
of whoops and whereases. among them
being the following:
Whereas, The great body of the peo-
pie of the United States. without re-
gard to political lines or predictions,
have implicit confidence in his ability,
his militant integrity and unselfish
fidelity to his exalted trust.
wouldn't that jar you? We should
really like to know where these solons
obtained their information that the
great body of the people" of these Uni
ted States have announced their i'm
plicit confidence" in Roosevelt The
statement is untrue, to begin with, and
a Islander on the people of the entire
country. The Michigan Senate had
better devote its time and attention to
something about which 1t may perhaps
be better informed.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Van Dyke came
down from Eckert Wednesday to consult
DR.. Ridley on account of an injury Mrs.
Van Dyke received to her right eye the
previous evening. She was returning
to her residence from the H. X. Fergu-
son home and was carrying lantern.
A number of horses, attracted by the
light, rushed upon her and so frightened
the lady that she attempted to make a
quick escape under the fence. In do
ing so her eye came in contact with the
sharp end of dried weed and several
splinters penetrated into the flesh of
the under lid. DIR. Ridley removed these
but a severe inflammation had set in and
Mrs. Van Dyke suffered excruciating
pain. Under treatment the injured
member is slowly getting better.

they went on to Idaho. from there to
Oregon and thence to California. Dur
ing the entire journey they found moth
ing to suit them better than this coun-
try. In southern California, around
Riverside, Mr.. Fargo was favorably
impr essed with the country, but he be-
lieves this is better climate for him
than that would be. He contemplates
purchasing lots and erecting a dwelling
as he finds it almost impossible to rent.

Grand Junction has one of the best

been a large factor in the advancement
of the Grand Valley.
Edwin A. Sherman, managing editor
of the Grand Junction News, the lead
ing daily of western Colorado, was
Delta visitor last Saturday. Mr.. Sher-
man visited this city some years ago
and was greatly surprised to see the
growth and development that has taken
place. Mr.. Sherman freeley admits
that with the development of the large
territory surrounding this city it should
grow to a population of from 5000 to
10000 within few years. And it will.
If the women of one of our churches
would adopt the plan of removing their
hats during the service it might result
in getting every man in town to attend
that church. 1t is no wonder men don't
go to church when they can get squint
at the preacher only once or twice dur
ing the service. Did you ever smoke
in the dark? 1t is a good deal like
hugging a ghost. Hearing a sermon
behind a curtain is on the same order.
In Trinity M. E. church, Denver, the
ladies remove their hats during services
and many men attend. We do not know
if it is on account of the hatless heads
of the ladies', but it may be.
w. H Burnett on new ground under
the North Delta canal raised 12 tons of
beets to the acre. The crop was not
given proper attention either in water
ing or cultivation, but Mr. Burnett's
experiment demonstrates beyond a
doubt that beets can be profitably
grown on new land. Completion of the
North Delta Canal will undoubtedly see
hundreds of acres of land under it
planted to the wealth producing sugar
beet. This experiment is convincing
that men who know their business can
take virgin soil under the new canal
and make it yield 20 tons to the acre.
If so they can pay for land and water
out of the profits of two years crops.
