Ottawa County prospects and a Chinese elephant tale
The letter from Bassass Let describes Ottawa County as northeast of the state center with 460000 acres, rich loam soil, water power from Solomon river, healthy climate, and potential coal and stone resources. It notes Centennial preparations and contrasts with Athens. A Chinese will tale and a Samson jawbone anecdote follow, with a remark on wheat in India and revival feeling not reducing arrears in country newspapers.
