According to the bank statements
furnished last week by the fifteen Diff
ferent banks doing business in Mar
shall county, the total bank deposits
amounted to $1,719,492. II. These fig
ures are the best kind of an index of
the wealth and development of the
county. Less than a dozen years ago
the banks had practically no deposits.
All the farmers as we'll as most of
the business men, were borrowers
then. The money that the banks had
then was borrowed money from the
east to be loaned here at high rates
of interest. Now the tables are turn
ed. The money held by the banks
now is largely farmers money The
farmers are the heaviest depositors.
The coming of the creamery and the
high prices of grain and all other
farm products have changed the con-
ditions of the farmers, and let us all
rejoice in their prosperity. Just think,
nearly orr o"d three-fourths million
dollars in deposits in the banks Of
Marshall county, mostly by the farm
ers! According to the same state
ments, the total amount of the actual
cash assets of the various banks is
$460,616 .59-nearly half million. If
this is not good showing for Mar
shall county, which was wilderness
30 years ago. then we would like to
know what is. All this wealth has
been wrung from Marshall countys
fertile soil, and only a small part of
the surface has yet been scratched.
There is more to follow.

When it is cnce said with truth that man is

The English, who to have profted by
Arnolds treason, hated the traitor after he had
Joined their ranks. British officers would hold
no fellowship with him and his memory is exc.

served in the revolutionary war and which have
place on the walls of the old chapel, probably

School histories as a rule, in giving account
of the Detroit surrender, state simply that Gen.

that he tried and sentenced to be shot for cow

go to his Massachusetts home and there await the
execution of his sentence Old age "executed"

the concentrating society will content itself with
simply emitting Hull's name from its list by which
Huls conduct characterized as cowardly by a

of Offset to Arno'd's treatment of the unlucky
Americans who met his forces along the banks
of the Connecticut Thames
Gen. Arnold had met Gen Warren in the early
spring of 1875 and haG formed strong personal
fixing for him. When Warren killed it was
found that he had left means for the support
aid education of his four children. Arnold be-
came deeply interested in the matter and brought
the chidren's condition to the attention of the
continental congress- which promised to do some
thing for the little ones, but dillydaled the
matter. Arnold had idea that the congress
might not act quickly and so he wrote letter
of tender solicitude to Mercy Schollay, who was
caring for the Warren children, their mother hav.
ing died some time before. In this letter Arnold,
nearly impoverished himself, sent an order for
$500 with instructions that he should be drawn
upon for more as soon as it was needed. This
contribution of the traitor saved Elizabeth, Jo-
seph, Mary and Richard Warren from destitu-
ton Arnold not satisfied with this but he
wrote squirting letters to Sam Adams and John
Hancock, of the committee which had the pro-
posed congressional appropriation in hand. Then
he sent home some money and said: Send Rich

that can be found clothe him handsomely, give
him all that he needs and call upon me for any
future expense"
How much food for thought may be found in

year. American farmers or those who

participate largely in these splendid
returns. and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers Of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t Is said that fifty thousand people Of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most Of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for,
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain. some to the Continent, OF ers
to their old homes in Eastern Canada.
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years! It need
not be asked, Can they afford .t?''
With crops yielding them a profit Of
$40 to $25 per acre. and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. the

TWO MODELS WORTH COPYING
New Coats Designed Either for Sep
arate Wear or as Part Of
Suit.

Two new coat models have appeared
for our delectation. One is cutaway
and short, the other Russian modi-
fication.
They are equally suitable for sepa-
rate wear and as part of suit. The
back of the cutaway has yoke that
reaches almost to the waist line and
is sewed in with the underarm seam.
The skirt below this is cut out at the
waist line for a space of four inches,
with plated panel inserted, the
plaits-four of them-being turned
toward each other. One side of the
front fastens across the other in d.
agonal line, with three buttons, and
three motifs cut from the material Of
which the coat is made, placed close
to the lower edge. At the bust line,
below the shoulders, the material is
slashed, and the fulness that comes
from the upper portion is gathered
and placed under the edge of the
lowers portion, which has first been

The design is not hard to complete

The other coat is best adapted to
the richer fabrics, especially brocade
or velvet, and is suitable for day or
evening wear, providing it's material ia
not prohibitive. 1t is cut like a double
breasted ulster, with or without a
seam down the back, and the sleeves
are larger at the bottom than at, the
top, where there is no fulness. The
seam under the arm is left open for
several inches, and the back and front
section caught up together with an
ornament. This, properly managed,
produces the effect of deep-rounded
points which appear to be in the nat
