Potatoes are a hght erop. Corn cutting has begun. It is a very poor crop. Threshers are not making much this season, on account of the poor yield. Work for day hands is rather slack at present, and is likely to be more so. Miss Schlee, of Geddes, will teach the fall term of in the Roberts district. There has been no frost yet, but the country is beginning to look as if autumn was here. There are no political meetings or excitement of anykind in this township that I know of. On the big marsh work is progressing, with quite good crops of onions, corn, celery, etc. Wheat is turning out a light crop. Farmers feel discouraged with that, as well as with the low price. Some of the Pittsfield people have been to Detroit to see the Exposition - J. D. Allison, for instance. The apple crop in this section is a total failure. Never saw so few apples. Peas have done quite well. Miss Mary Forsythe left last week for Garden City, Delta county, Upper PenĂ­nsula, where she is engaged to teach school. There was perhaps never as little ground plowed for fall seeding as at the present time. The ground is too dry and hard. Pittsfield Union Sunday-school held their annual picnic last week Wednesday, at the residence of Mr. Harris. It was well Next day the Sutherland Sunday-school had their picnic, which was likewise a success.
