Plumbs, cherries and pears will blossom full. The Smock peach, a late variety of yellow peaches, moderately, the late peaches in common varieties full, but the Mountain Rose and Crawford families promise nothing.

The Misses Waterbury, Tuttle,  Ruthruff, Sherwood, Binning and Mesdame Freeman and Burrell attended the state convention of the order of the King's Daughters and Sons held in Detroit last week. An important feature of the convention was the lecture given by Mrs. Bottome, of New York city, president of the international order.

Maple Grove farm is being remodled into a beautiful summer resort by its present owner. Dugal Roberts, of Detroit, feels confident he will have an electric road by his farm in the near future.

Hay is more scarce than it has been for years. It is $12 per ton. People say when such farmers as Mart Craine have to buy hay you can depend upon it something is up. This somewhat prepared us for the shock when we saw Jerome Brayton who owns 400 acres of as good grass land as the sun ever shone on, 40 cows, etc, going home with a bale of hay in the rear of his farm wagon.
