[ feel long, full fat. and with 11 rattles.
Three hours later, lie found a brown
coq^ whip, 8 feet long, but somo less
otmd the waist, at thosamo spot. Que
ry ; Wa» the coach whip after the rat
tler? and if so, conld lie have swallowed
him? (This question Is not put to doc
tors, their theories are longer than the
coach whip.)

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Bcv. J. Gun-
derman, of Dlmondalo,,Mich.,wo nro per
mitted to mako this extract: "1 have no
hesitation fn recommending Dr. King's
New Discovery, as the results were al
most marvelous In the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist church
at Itlves' Junction slio was brought down
with Pneumonia, succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little Interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive them.
A friend recommended Dr. King's Now
Discovery; ft was quick in Its work and
highly satisfactory In results." Trial bot

Southwest Berrien. *
When we contemplate emigrating to a
now country, ono of the first and most
Important questions which presents it
self is, U It healthy there? To those
making such inquiry regarding Berrien
county, especially this (southwest) part of
repared to answer In the affirm-
famishing. Our wells range in depth
from eighteen to forty-five fc i some are
even deeper, and tho water cuing free
from lime or other impurities, is healthy.
The stiff clay and roeky substance un-
dcrlying the surface, renders walling for
wells, with few exceptions, useless.
Taken altogether, we have as good water,
with as little cost of procuring it, as any
country can boast of.
AS all wealth has its origin In the pro
ductions of the soil, it is reasonable that
a strangor would ask. What arc its pro
ducts? To answer this question fully,
would require more time and space than
can he given the subject at once. I think
it sufficient to say, that almost any kind
of breadstnffs,except wheat,can he raised
here In abundance when muscle and en
ergy are properly applied;' and even
wheat has boon grown with good results.
What Is commonly denominated tho hog
crop, iucli as pens, peanuts, chains, etc.,
can he gtown In quantity sufficient to
raise and fatten all tlie meat necessary for
home use It Is an acknowledged fuel
that wo have, as a rule, given too much
of our time and money to the raising of
cotton, and have sadly neglected this
most important question of raising our
meat, but exporlcuce has shown us our
error. Prior to three years ago, we plant
ed fields of short cotton and mere patches
of corn and other food crops. Having
succeeded in reducing the price of It
below tho cost of production, wo turned
our attention lo tho cultivation of Sea
Island cotton, which would bring us
more money, hut we were not sure we
could mako a success of growing it here.
But something had to he done, and the
experiment has proven Berrien county
soil to be famous for Sea Island cotton.
We are Informed that the great state of
Toxns has, within the last year, also
learned that her soil is well adapted to
the growth of Sea Island cotton, and that
It Is only a question of a little time when
hor broad fields will supply the world's
demand for this staple. Already we
see the market declining, perhaps tho
crop now planted will bo sufficient to re
duce the prloo below tho cost of produc
tion. What will wo do ? liaise ourown
hog aud hominy, and let Texas mako tho
cotton. Just os our prospect began to
darken, and the clouds hang threaten
ingly oyer us, no see a star which wo
hail ns a prelude to the brightest dny
that has cyer dawned upon us. With
the adaptability of our climate and soil
to the raising of fruit, we have nothing
to cry about, but much at which to re
joice.
Berrien county should fool proud that
Mr. Tift was not too hide bound to give
a sufficient amount of his money and en
ergy to provo, by a thorough test, that
tho peach business Is profitable. What
is true of the soil at his orchards In flic
vicinity of Tifton, Is true, almost, of the
entire county, especially around Sparks.
