To the Voters of Wood County:
GENTLEMEN IL am a candidate
for State Senator. Having just re-
turned from a long absence from the
District on business, [ am informed
that l am being accused by parties in

boring men of the privilege of voting.
This accusation is false, and unjust.

secure its passage through that body,

charter elections in Grand Rapids,
from April to March. The passage Of
this bill was asked by the people Of
that city without distinction of party.
It was drawn up and sent to me, and
accompanied by petitions asking its
passage, as follows

These petltoins, it will be seen, con-
tain the names of a large number of
the citizens and taxpayers of the city,
without distinction Of party, some of
whom are now charging me with bad
faith in doing just what they asked me
to do. The original petitions are here,
in my possession, and all are invited to
call and see them. IF I am absent,
they can be seen at the First National
Bank, or in my Office, if clerk is
there.
[ introduced the bill, as was nv
duty. The people asked it, and I was
their servant. [ Immediately sent
copies of the printed bill to different
gentlemen, representing different in
terests in Grand Rapids. I soon after
visited Grand Rapids, and conversed
with the citizens freely upon the SUBJ
ject, and found but three men opposed
to the bill, to-wit George Neeves,
George A. Neeves, and l.. 2. Powers.
These men represented that majority
of the people were opposed to the bill.
l told them to get up and forward to
me their remonstrances, and I would
hold the bill until all parties could be
heard. [ did SO hold it. 1t was in

house Of Joseph Martel some time in
April, but owing to some little matters
of illegality, no record was ever made
of the meeting. Another special meet
ing was called some time in Sept, at
the same place, when a set OF officers
was elected and the sum of $50 was
voted for town expenses. Amos Bone
steel, Matthias Staten, and r. ].
Thompson, we're elected supervisors;
A. 0. A. Stowell, Clerk and Supt. of
schools; Hans Stumlin, Treasurer, and
Amos Bonesteel, Assessor. Only II
votes were east at this meeting, al
though the new town, the third in the
county, contained an area of los square
miles.
Some time in Oct. OF this year, the
town was set off into two equal road
districts, separated by the center line
north and south, and in March follow.
ing four school districts were set apart,
the township being divided in the cen.
ter each way; and for the benefit Of
some of our townsmen, we will add
that those four tracts of territory
were then known as school districts
No. |, 2, 8, and A, of Martel; No. be-
ing in the n. +. corner. 1t was after
wards merged in a joint district, ex.
cept the most southern portion, which
is now known as No. 6, to the entire
exclusion of No. |.
This year, IS. Messrs. r. j. Thomp-
son and Luke Pomeroy joined hands in
the erection of a saw-mill. This was
a fortunate moment in the new settle
ment. People could then re .liZe the
value of boards.
About this time Mr.. Isaac d. Elliot
was commissioned by Mr.. Jock, (who
furnished the required stamps) to Sc
cure for him Jock the territory upon
which the present hamlet stands; but
as Mr.. L. was something of business
sort Of fellow he concluded to use his
own name in making out papers. in
place of Jocks. The old hunter being
hard to please, was not satisfied with
thisarrangement, but atlength compro-
missed the matter by taking a deed of
about 90 of 80 acres, leaving the town
site in the hands of the said Elliot who
now proceeded to the task of plating
said tract, and getting ready to feath-
er the nest he had made. The lots
were offered for sale at $40 per lot.
Mr.. E. then joined hands with Mr.. Ole
Rasmussen, and opened small stock of
goods and groceries at stand, now
removed, where Mr.. OWENS house
stands. This was closed out in the
spring, and after plastering on mort
gage where Jocks deed should have
been filed, he elliot vamosed. At the
time the plat was made there were six
families settled here, being those of
Ole Rasmussen, Sam Knight, Exhard
Jock, L. Pomeroy, Matthias Slatten,
and Mr.. Finley, all of whom have since
removed.

our Brother.


Sailed from the port Of Earth, on the ninth,
The good ship Neyermore,
Bound for tha. World beyond the Grave,
The mysterious Eyermore.
out DER the river Of Death she sailed,
That good ship Nevermore,
Bearing her freight Of immortal souls,
To the haven of Eyermore.
And one there was who sailed in that ship,
A brother kind and true
He went and yet we knew It not
Tho there to bic him adieu
Not word, not a sign at parting,
To tell us the time had come,
When our loved one should start on his journey,
To bis home beyond the sun.
No last farewells wore spoken,
No parting words were said,
Tho waiting for the final parting.
We knew not that be was dead
Alone in the night and darkness,
His spirit winged its flight,
From this world Of sadness and sorrow,
To realms of celestial light.
1t is hard at the hour Of parting,
With a brother and son,
To receive no sign or token
But God, thy will be done.
Farewell BELOVED brother forever,
Our hearts say farewell, with a Sigh
Fare well, but no--not forever
For in heaven we will meet BY and by.
