No doubt it will be interesting to some of The Democrat readers and others to hear from me through your paper. I am happy and contented and enjoy life real well here in the north part of Michigan. The weather here is real fine, the coldest at our house was 1 above zero, and today 35 above. We have about 10 inches of snow and very mild weather, but no thaws. My health is excellent. Would like to hear from any of my old friends in Jasper and will answer all questions promptly. We live 3 % miles from Atlanta, the county seat. I like to hear from the old friends through The Democrat, as I have confidence in it for its Straightforward way of relating items add events. I notice the Rensselaer people are waking up to public interests and I hope that some progressive move of a public character will be a success that will be to the poor main's advantage. Blessed is the man that consldereth the poor; himself can expect help in time of trouble. Corn retails here at 90 cents on the ear; hay is sls to $18; oats, 60 to 70c; potatoes 65c; butter 28. Wishing you every success, with dnd remembrances to my old friends for the many acts of kindness and consideration shown me and mine during the sixteen years we were together.
