The Alcona Farmers.
Alcona, July 22, 1877.
Dear Review.--We are happy to inform you that there has been no deaths by starvation in the township of Alcona as yet, by reason of our store closing. The sixty-two actual settlers all feel as happy as a big sun-flower, and are working away as busily as beavers securing their hay, at present, and intend to live as long as they can raise anything on their farms and be independent, relying on their own resources.
Mr. E. Milligan has raised a new, frame barn, 50x30 feet, on his farm, and Mr. J. Yuill has also raised a new barn, 52x36 feet, on his farm. Mr. J. Scarlett has contracted to have a barn raised on his farm 28?x40 foot, 30-foot post, and Mr. McDermot, of Harrisville, is to frame it for him. Those barns are all in the centre of the township, where there are ten settlers who have in their possession eight hundred and forty acres of land, with over three hundred acres cleared and under cultivation. The settlement is known as Milligan's Corners, where Mr. W. Milligan and his three sons have farms. A. Yuill, J. Yuill, R. Scarlett, J. Scarlett, S. Baxter, D. McArthur and Archey Campbell, are all enterprising farmers, and will in a few years have comfortable homes. Nearly all of them have set out young orchards--some of them last year and some this year--and the trees are all looking well. The crops are light, but we think we will not starve this winter as long as we can draw supplies from Harrisville--and if the stores shut down on us there, we intend to secede and be annexed to Canada. How is that for high! Would we not be justified in doing so before starvation should stare us in the face!--or would you advise us to surrender the fort and have the prediction of some of the knowing come true, if the store in Alcona should shut down on the mossbacks this Spring.
More anon, if you think this worth printing in your paper. Achid
