Tfie Times, OWOSSO. FRIDAY, SEPT. 0, 18i5. A DELIGHTFUL COUNTRY HOME! EDMUND O. DEWEY, Editob. The Michigan Tradesman improves with age and is now a better paper than at any time in its history, The Pontlac Post has been purchased by Harry Coleman, of St. Johnu, who is a eood writer and will doubtless make a success of ' his new undertaking. In the September number of the North American Review Dr. Frances E.CJark, D D.. president of the United Society of Chris tian Endeavor gives an interesting account oi the Christian Endeavor movement, dwell ing upon the Rreat conventions of the so ciety and their extensive work. The Argus of Saturday stated that "La bor Day, September 1,'will be observed on September 2 this year, the 1st falling on Sunday." This reminds us of the Irishman whoeald "the 4th of July would be cele brated this year on the 5th of August." Labor Day always comes the first Monday lu September. II. T. Newcomb, of Washington, has an article In the September Forum on the "Op portunities of Young Men and Women In the Civil Service." The article is very well written and will well repay any oue reading It Mr. Newcomb is a grandson of Judge Turner and son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. J, E. Comstock, of this city. Mulr Tribune: The profits of the furni ture factory at Ionia 6tate house of correc tion for the year ending Juno 30, 1895, were 825,000.63. In view of tho fact that under the previous administration the factory lost money, the present management Is quite proud of these figures, which we are per mitted to take from the annual report of the warden, Otis Fuller to the board of control, through the courtesy of lion. N. 13. Hayes, a member of tho board. The legislature of 1895 amended tho law of 1893, relative to certificates accompanying deeds of record. This new law went Into effect Sept. 1, and hereafter all "warranty"' deeds presented to the register of deeds for record must be accompanied by a certificate from the county treasurer or auditor general that the taxes have been paid for five years previous to said date of deed. The law also fixes the treasurer's fee for issuing each cer tificate at 25 cents. The 1893 law provides for the certificate but made no provisions for the fee, and the various county treasur ers charged according to their judgment, and the supreme court held that under that law they were entitled to no fee. Now that the law is amended and the fee fixed. If you want the certificate, which you must have before the deed is recorded, you must pay the 25 cents. This refers to warranty deeds only. Local Pride There Is no one thing which tends so much to the prosperity of a city as local pride. A belief In the present and future of your own town and a constant effort to advance its home interests in, every way. No right-minded man will ever say or do anything which can possibly be construed by any one as a sneer at the city In which he lives. Next to love for one's country comes love for your own town, and if you find a bulsness man who speaks slightingly of the place in' which he lives, shun him as you would the cholera. There Is something wrong with him, and he isn't a safe man to deal with; . It is the duty of every citizen to talk for his town and to work for his town at every opportunity. Every Owosso citizen can help Owosso along by giving it a boost at all times and tinder all circumstances. The Trials of a Country Editor. Whatever may be the truth or the falsity of the stories that are told of the scarcity of funds in a country editor's pocket or the scarcity of food in his stomach, the stories are always told, and neither the progress of education nor the growth and development of the press seems to have any effect upon the crop. One of the latest comes from Kentucky, where the mountain editor, at least, rarely develops into a Croesus or an Apiclus, and this one is concerning a moun tain editor. A subscriber had remembered him very kindly, and a day or two later a visitor called at his office. "Can I see the editor?" he inquired of the grimy little 'devil' roosting on a high stool. No, sir," replied the youth on the stool. He's sick." "What's the matter with him?" "Dun'no," said the boy. "One of our subscribers give him a bag of flour and a bushel of pertaters t'other day, and 1 reckon he's foundered." From Editor's Drawer In Harper's Magazine for September.

H.Payne. Shiawassee county has many ine farming communities and many most delightful homes and a number of these are in the Maplo ltiver district. Among them is that of C. II. II. Payne and in it last week Thursday the Maplo River Farmers' Club held one of its happy and instructive sessions. A more beau tiful location could hardly be found. Situated on a little hill with the rich and cultivated land sloping in all direc- . : t. .1 i i . ., iiuus is me new anu eiegaut resiueucu, one of the finest in Shiawassee county. A large veranda on tho north and east sides invites tho attention of the passer, wnuo irom it mo guest steps into a most charmingly arranged house. A large reception room opens with double aoors into the parlor and also the sit ting room which is also connected with the dining room and library by double doors, all exquisitely arranged and made light and pleasant by large bay windows. Everything is in keeping. The large barn is most complete and carefully kept. The stables in the basement have cement lloors and the yards are well arranged. A large tank furnishes water to hydrants in all parts of tho barn, while the large mice proof granary is cpnnected by chutes, as is tho hay loft, with the stable below. The sheep and hog yards have devices for loading, ringing and feeding that aro unique and labor saving. A silo at tho east end is rilled from the cuttinsr room and on tho stable side Is so ar ranged that securing feed for the stock is but a moment's work even when the silo is rilled. The land is good and as Mr. Payne is a careful student and a hard worker, tho farm yields returns that are surprising. Mr. and Mrs. Payne have one child. Miss Bertha, and with them live Charles, Purcell, Addie and James Mcuillvra, nephew's and niece, and Jabez Payne, one of tho staunch old pioneers that brought Shia wassee out of tho woods and who, al though eighty-six years of ago, insists on taking a turn at the plow. Together they welcomed the crowd of cuests and every one felt at home. At two o clock, President U. U. Moore called tho club and visitors to order and after a few remarks of congratulation. called upon tho chaplain, Mrs. Julia Moore, who read a chapter in tho Bible anil onered prayer. l he subject for the men, "Ihe Rain fall and How to Meet a Drouth," was assigned to Wm. Gladden and P. 13. Reynolds. Mr. Gladden asked if the drouth was from natural causes or tho work of God. He thought it was from natutal causes and drouths would be moro frequent in the future than in the past. Land had been drained, small bodies of water had been removed and forests cut down, leaving the soil ex posed to tho sun and the drouth was the consequence. Kansas and Texas, prairie countries, had suffered less in recent years while Michigan had suf fered more the reason heiner simolv that there trees had been planted and were constantly offering the protection needed, while here the reverse had oc curred. He advised fall plowing, early and constant cultivation. Mr. Reynolds considered tho question more important to tho farmer than the tariff, the money or the temperance uestion. Ihe drouth commenced in uly 1893 and was still hero. Since 1885 the rainfall had been from one third to one half less than for the twen ty-live years preceding. An annual de ficiency of 32,350,000 gallons to the square nine had been the record of 1893-4-5 in Michigan. Every drop of water in the great Mississippi would not make it up. No snow capped peaks aro here to help in years liko this. All must look to tho moisture in the soil. By evaporation twenty per cent 6f the moisture was wasted. Corn, beans and potatoes were to be fair crops. Why do other crops suffer moro? These aro cultivated moro. The remedy must bo deep plowing and pulverizing, more constant cultivation. Frank Sheldon thought that drouths were not caused by removal of forests but that ground was worked too long. E. J. Cook said it was not always possible to prepare for a drouth, but that vegetable loam should be used for fertilization. Crops should be turned under enriching tho soil. Rye was good for this. liert uook explained that wo were using too much electricity and lacked lghtning and thunder to shako the louds. lie advised continued plowing. F. C. Reynolds read a clear and com- prehensiv. paper on "The Influence of eograpny on ntstory, explaining the rapid development of parts of tho country favored by good geographical situation and the slow growth in others. Tho next subject, "Value and At traction of Home in .Forming Charac! a i j J l r . i usr, wan uisuusseu uy iiayion iook. He spoke of the different Ideas of home. To tho Indian with a bear skin to re- le upon; to the Aborigines of South America, simply a shady nook along the Amazon: to the rich man a large house with line stone front, filled with magnificent furniture, a servant for every little want and to execute every whim. Yet the place made not the home. With all its comforts Iho rich man's homo developed not the best things. The Indian's life made him selfish, cruel and indolent. Lovo and mpathy, health and hard work made e best people. Parents should not threaten; should not tell tho simplo lies that leave the child unable to judge be tween truth and falsehood; should not make little ones afraid of the dark, leaving them cowards for a life time. Every move, every word leaves its im pression and the lessons of youth make the man and the woman good or bad. Tho Dorcas Home delegation that came twenty in numbers to explain the objects of their organization, then occupied the attention of the club for over an hour and closed by taking up a collection for their work. Miss Anna Bartrcm was the speaker for tho ladies. The musical part of the program was in charge of Miss Edith Whelan, Miss Etta Ellis and Miss Leon Mooro. Miss Whelan sang a solo and with Miss Ellis ducts that were highly appreciated by the club. Miss Mooro accompanied the ladies on a guitar. Supper was then announced and served by tho family. It was one of those meals that make one feel that he Is truly living and that life is worth tho living. Mrs. Payno is an exceptionally good nousekecper and her spread win long be remembered swinging and a general good time until seven o'clock closed the day.
