Some time ago, the Saline Observer boasted that Saline would doublé its usual aniount of building this season and incidently remarked that that , thriving burg had for years built one I nevv building each year.

That is doi'ng pretty well tor one day. Scoye Stacy must be going to get married. The Tecumseh Herald makes this announcenient: "A few gallons of ampie syrup wilt he taken on subscripi t.ion at this office." Nothing but reckless extravagante, prompted by the near approach of tliat eventful moment when a man is about to become a beiiedict, could have suggested such a proposition. Hxperienced old married eilitors, with large and floürishing families, are perfectly contented with a gallon at a time- and migbty thanklui to sret that much. Scove hasgiven himself avvay. - Evening Telegram. Scove has neglected this important matter so long and has became so permiatéd with the aeetions 1'ermentation that we fear, if he must now wait initil he secures a suflieient araount of the sacchariferous stuff on subscriplion torender him fit for a benedict, then indeed is his case hoie!ess in this i i IV. We extend sympathy. It was our pleasure a short time ago to meet Mr. Woodward, of Clinton The information that he can give a person in fruit grovving in an houir, is ot more worth than a person could derive from books in a week. He has 20 acres near Clinton set to fruit of different kinds. and we will guárante e that his profits from his orchard are greater than could be obtained from 500 acres as farming is usually carriëd out. He has raised a thousand bushels or more peaches for sale every year for the past eight years. He has at present about 1500 hearing peach trees, some of them 15 years old. The past season he marketed 1800 bushels, at an average of $1.50 per bushei . Iüs man ner of caring for his orchard is to use chemical fertilizers and thoroughly cultívate once a week during the entire season. Mr. Woodward was the guest of F. G. Larzelere whiie at Grass Lake.
