Come and get first choice from some fine tracts I have recently added to my holdings. Prices $10 to $25 per acre, qualtty and location considered are lower than on any other land in Michigan or elsewhere.

26, 1911. I0WAN RELATIVE OF ABE. LINCOLN HERRING CHRISMAN, WHO DIED RECENTLY AT MAPLETON, LATED TO Mapleton, Interesting character it was who passed away in this city last week. Herring Chrisman was a distant relative of Abraham Lincoln and was -his life long friend. After Lincoln was elected president he called Chrisman to Washington and sent him to Virginia to use his influence to hold the state in the union.

He met some of the leading men in the state in conference and pleaded with them to use their influence to stay In the union. But his pleading' was unavailing. Mr. Chrisman was In Rockingham, Sept. 16, 1823- He studied law in Lexington college and began to practice when he was 20 years of age At 21 he waB elected county attorney of Rockingham county.

In 1851 he went to Illinois where he engaged in extensive farming and also practiced law in Chicago and in Galesburg. It was during these years that he became intimate with Lincoln, due some measure to the fact that they were distantly related. Mr. Chrisman was married in 1854. He left Illinois and came to Monona county thirty years ago and he has resided here since.

He was twice elected county attorney of this county and for many years was president of the county bar' assaciation. He prepared at one time a most Interesting lecture on Lincoln and he once wrote an answer to Ingersoll's attack on Christianity which is regarded as a very able argument in support of Christianity. For a great many years Mr. Chrisman has been a member and officer of the Methodist church. He was within a few days of 88 years of age at the time of bis death.

APPETIZING FRUIT RAISED SCOTT COUNTY FRUIT GROWERS DEMONSTRATE HOW TO RAISE GOOD PRODUCTS. Davenport, excellent specimens of the fruit raised in Scott county were brought Into The TimeB office this morning, and are on display in Times office window. There are seven varltles from the farm of P. S. and S.

Barr, at Jersey Ridge, about two miles northeast of Davenport. Some splendid specimens of apples were also brought In by CVF. L. Clemons, who raised them on the old L. W.

Clemons plade. The fine fruits which, may be raised in Scott county are shown in this exhibit. It can easily be seen that Just as splendid results may be obtained here in Iowa and Scott county as in California and other western states, if the same care is given to the trees and orchards. Most of the fruits brought in by Seymour Barr are from 10 year old trees. A number of Cole's quinces were picked from trees which were planted 30 years ago by Attorney Abner Davidson, now deceased.

Recently the trees were thoroughly pruned, and every other tree was grubbed out completely giving the other trees more air and rain. Not only were they chopped down, but roots and all were grubbed out. In the, state of New York capitalists are buying orchards and rejuvenating them in this manner, with remarkable results. The production is greatly increased and the quality of the fruit improved. The same results have been achieved by Mr.

Barr with hlB trees. In addition to -these quinces, Mr. Barr brought in some Duchess pears, Delaware grapes, sheep nose eating apples, More's early grapes, Minor plums and Maiden Blush eating apples. The early Pennock apples raised by Mr. Celmons are beautiful, large, red specimens.

All of the fruit is almost perfect in every respect, there being no worms or any serious blemisheB. FARMINCTON. Mrs. Adella Wattles of Downer's Grove, 111., is visiting her mother, Mrs. Sophia Reckmyer.
