READY FOR BUSINESS AGAIN.

During the severe wind storm several
weeks ago, one of the smoke stacks on
the hesding factory west of the village
was blown down. About two weeks ago,
while putting up new stack to replace
the one blown down, one of the guys
gave way, and the stack FELL against the
other one, knocking it down and dam
aging it to such an extent that it required
new one to replace it, Mr. Deal, the
proprietor, concluded he would erect
stack large enough to answer the pur-
pose Of both 1t is now here and will
be erected today. The misfortune has
been quite an expense to Mr.. Deal, as
the factory has been practically idle
since the disaster. He says he will soon
have the wheels turning, and will con-
tinue to have them moving most of the
winter. 1t will be good thing for the
village, as the pay roll is quite heavy.

Kalamazoo has bad a great adveftis-

longed single event was her celebration
of the 25th anniversary OF her incorpo

days she had a special program filled
with many interesting features. Not
the least among them was Press and
Fraternal day held on last Friday. The
Press Of the state was we'll represented
and was given especial attention and
prominence. They occupied the balco-
ny of the Burdick House during the pa
rade Of the fraternitles, which was re-
served for their special benefit and which
gave them the most eligible position
from which to view the pageant OF any
in the city. The procession was of
great length and made up of some Of
the most gorgeously equipped floats and
other displays ever witnessed. After
the parade the members Of the press
were given a street car ride to all parts
of the city and to places of greatest in-
terest. In the evening a sumptuous
banquet was given at the Burdick House
complimentary to those who were fortu-
nate enough to he in attendance. After
the banquet they were given other en-
tertanments and not until the small
wee hours were they released from their
captivity. The editor of The True
Northerner was not able to he present,
but had his representative there. The
Press feels grateful for the distinction
given it aud Kalamazoo has established
itself as royal entertainer of strangers

the example of some of these western
states in advertising its crops. | doubt

One morning ! heard that there we're
10000 bushels of peaches on the city
market, yet nothing was said about it
outside Of Grand Rapids. Aud the
farms in Michigan produce crops that

as follows:
Dear Sir: Some time ago I sent
you DR.. Knapp's plan for bringing
up badly worn-out lands. The plan
was not exactly definite for South
Carolina. He has revised the plan,
and it is now as follows:
'Plow the land eight inches deep,
and if possible, setting 1t on edge,
then harrow 1t well and use about
1000 pounds Of slaked lime; then
SOW one-half bushel OF sorghum, one
half bushel of COW peas, turn the
soil under eight inches and put on a
winter cover OF crimson clover. with
plowed land treated In this way 1t
will be good for 40 or so bushels of
corn without much fertilizer
II would like for the agents to
get In as many demonstrations as
possible this year without neglecting
their growing crops"
