Flint, Mich. — Coal here seems about 

 as plentiful as diamonds and about as 

 valuable as gold nuggets; in fact, the 

 chap who corners a supply at ajiy price 

 is counted among the lucky. Business, 

 however, has been good enough to be a 

 balm on the outraged pocketbook, and 

 D. P. Smith gleaned the wherewithal for 

 a new palm and show house 20x107 feet 

 and a propagating house 7*4x100 feet.
