daughter Claire fine Knabe piano,
purchased through F j SYSTEMATICALLY,
the Michigan state agent, at Detroit.

Rev. w. III. Van Antwerp, ID. d., of
Charlotte, conducted services at st.
Marks church in this village Sunday,
both in the morning and evening, and
in the afternoon administered the rite
of baptism. The service, always inn
pressive, was greatly heightened in eff
feet by the excellent music rendered
| by some of our very best local talent
! The attendance was not as large as
would have been the case on any other
than Memorial day, but those present
enjoyed fine sermon.
The Methodist church was crowded
to its utmost capacity on Sunday morn
| ing to listen to the Memorial day adj
dress of Mrs. Anna Barton. and, while
the decorations were not elaborate,
the flags and flowers gave a very plea
ing appearance to it, and the address
was of an unusually interesting
character The veterans To the number
of about fifty, under the lead of Com
mander Bullard, formed at the hall and
marched TO the church where they
were seated in body. The occasion
will be long and pleasantly remember
ed by all who were fortunate enough to
be present
A very fine audience greeted Rev IL.
A. Pallister at the Disciple church on
Sunday evening last. Announcement
had been made that the Rev. gentle
man would speak upon the subject:
The Hero of the War" Seats had
been reserved for Grand Army men
and they were out in goodly numbers.
The address was an exceedingly inter
esting one giving the salient points in the
history of Gen. Grant, from which the
speaker drew some valuable lessons.
The service closed with recitation of
Somebody's Hero" 10y little Miss Ret
tie Chapman, who acquitted herself with
much credit.
Mr. Cal LaGrave, accompanied by
Frank Warren, came from Chicago last
Saturday with the remains of his
mother, Mrs Edmund LaGrave, who
died in that city on Thursday. Mrs.
LaGrave was an oldtme resident of
this village having settled here with
her husband in 1888, at which time
! there were but sixteen families here,
and continued to reside here until 1861
when they moved onto the farm now
owned and occupied by Mr.. Jordan,
south of the village The funeral
services were held at the First Baptist
church, of which she was one of the
original founders, none of whom are
now living, Rev. Taft officiating. In
terment at Prospect Hill cemetery.
Deputy Sheriff Marsh. Merwin, of
| Cass county, passed through here last
! Saturday with IA stolen team which he
was returning to its owner in Newaygo
county 1t seems that a man named
James Loehr, of Newaygo, had com
mitted criminal assault ON l2-years-
old girl in that county, and, fearing ar
rest, had stolen the team from his
mother-in-law and decamped. Know
! ing that Loehr had relatives living i'm
CaSs and Berrien counties, Sheriff Rey-
nolds, of Newaygo, put the Cass county
officials on the watch, and Merwin Sc
cured the team early last week where
Loehr had left it with friend near Eau
Clare, and then telegraphed Sheriff
Reynolds to come on and assist in
rounding up" the man. The two Off
GERS then removed the team to Arthur
Haydon's barn, in Hamilton, and then
put up a job with some of Loehr's SC
quaintances to decoy him To Haydon's
! farm for the team, but where he ran
| into the arms of the officers. Sheriff
Reynolds took his man to Newaygo and
lodged him in jail on Thursday. The
Job, taken rs whole, reflects credit on
the sagacity and discretion of the two
officers named
