J. E. Sullenberger Writes From Edmore, Mich.

In renewing his subscripflion to The Democrat, J. E.r Sullenberger writes from Edmore, Mich., and says: “We like it here just fine. Tave had no winter weather as yet. 1 never saw so mild a winter, had a “white Christmas,” but it was warm. Farmers plowed right along until the week before Christmas. I believe this is tho place for a poor man. I never saw such crops as they raise here; everything seems to do well. There is but one thing that I have against it and that is so many rock. But, of course, one has to have tho bitter with tho sweet; can’t expect to find any place .perfect. “Tho man I work for MT. Albaugh, bias sold this place, so won't haVfe so. much on hands another year and I will soon move closer to my work. lam feeding 35 head of cattle this year, besides our own cattle and horses. About three weeks ago our big team tried to run away with me. 1 held on to them and in some way tore tho muscles in one of my knees. Had it in a plaster cast for eleven days, but have gotten so I can be at work again. “Have had good sledding now for over a week. Today is something like winter, but onp doesn’t notice the cold here like they do in Rensselaer. Will close by wishing you one and all good luck for the new year.”
