At the still hour of midnight, while the people of our town were tall last asleep, they were startled |by the toll of the church bell and cries of fire. The residence and hall, which belonged to Mpj. S. E. Kesler, was all ablaze before scarcely anybody knew of it. They suceeded in getting most of the goods out down stairs but scarcely anything upstairs. It is reported she had SSOO insurance on the house. The loss on the house will be something near SBOO. It was one of the old landmarks of the town, and was built about 25 years i ago for a saloon building and later Burgess Dillon, now of Rensselaer, built onto it and turned it into a hotel. Since then, at various times,! it was used as a store room, but lately was used as a dance hall. It was considered to be worth between twelve and fifteen hundred dollars. It is reported that a’ couple of fellows got an overdose of old John Barleycorn while the fire fight was going on which put them, out of business for a couple of days.

“MY SPEAR KNOWS NO BROTHER!"

BOUND FOR MICHIGAN.

M F ARMORS from 1 ndiiin;i and the North and Central States are going to a district in .Michigan where new towns are rapidly growing and a thriving community is being established This district is in Mason, Manistee and Lake Countier, in a large tract of land known as the Swigart Tract. Here an agricuitural development is going* on that is more rapid , than has ever been seen in the State.

ADVANTAGES that are drawing settlers to this Tract are—that it lies in the center of -Michigan's Famous Fruit Belt ,and is especially adapted for fruit growing, the lands being just near enough to derive the greater benefit from Lake Mich-' igan’s influence; adaptability of the land to growing good crops of grains, graa es and everything that is raised in lowa and Illinois; mild, even climate; local markets, including Ludington and Manistee with over 30,000 combined population, on the edge of the tract; surroundings of* a well settled country; four lines of railroads; products delivered by steamships to Chicago and Milwaukee over night; schools and churches throughout the tract; home conditions ideal; one thousand 40-acre pieces to select, from.
