SKETCHES OF CRYSTAL FALLS.
CRYSTAL FALLS AS REVIEWED BY A PIONEER MERCHANT IN THE FALLS. [From the Crystal Falls Annual, December 23, 1884.]
To the Editor:
In your favor of the 28th ult., you asked me, as one of the early settlers of our little but pleasant burg, for a description of Crystal Falls as it was, as it is, and what its prospects are for the future. I cheerfully reply to your request, hoping you will be able to use my note to an advantage in your contemplated issue of an Annual, or whatever you may call it. In doing so I do not pretend to be a literary man, and do not expect that you will publish this as I give it to you, or even bring my name into print. I merely give the facts to you for your own use, the best way I know how.
