AT BROAs, MUSEUM.

Levi Broas and wife extended an In
vitation through Prof. j. G. VanWinkle
To the high school and grammar school
to visit their home Tuesday afternoon
and look through his fine collection Oh
animals, birds, insects, curiositles ana
relics. The invitation was readily ac-
cepted and scholars and teachers came
in body and were given free access 10
all parts of the house containing MS
wonderful collection, being shown
through by Mr.. Broas himself and
Ralph Pierce, who impaired informa-
ton TO the many questioners.
The day was "a perfect one and AFTER
the sight seers had Toasted their eyes
and minds on the wonders brought to-
gether by the hands of Mr.. Broas, they
could not refrain from visit to his
spacious lawn, where swing, ham,
mocks, easy chairs and lawn curiosities
engaged their attention.
Mr.. Broas came here with his father
SO years ago and settled on the very
spot where he now lives. 1t took him
nine days to come from Holly to lonia.
They had to ford streams and sleep In
tents nights. There was not house
between here and Ionia and they made
part of the way by section lines. His
father took up nearly all the land In
the bend Of the river, being 800 acres
They had sugar bush where Main
street now Is and bear and deer were
plenty. When one was killed the meat
was passed around to the nelghbors.
Their first house was only 1lx14 feet in
size and the first town meeting was
held there.
Mr. Broas is "A years old and greatly
enjoys visit with his acquaintance,
very few of whom are now living who
were neighbors in the early days. His
collection, which is worth thousands of
dollars, has taken him years to accum-
ulate and he expects, when done with
it, to leave it to the city or make some
provision for its remaining here.

FOR LOCAL OPTION.

1t is very likely that Ionia county
electors will have an opportunity Of
voting on the question of local option
next spring. A meeting pertaining
thereto was held in Ionia, Tuesday, of
which the Sentinel says:
"The first step towards the adoption
of local option in Ionia county was
taken this afternoon when a meeting
was held at the court house to discuss
the matter. Twenty-Five persons were
present and G. A. Preston OF this city
was chosen chairman.
The matter was talked over after
which it was decided to start the work
by appointing a committee of four for
each township, whose duty it is to cir
culate petitions for signatures asking
that the matter be submitted to vote
of the people next spring. These COM
mittees were then named for each
township after which an executive
committee was appointed as follows:
Rev. d. f. Barnes, Rev. F. o. Dickey,
{. o. Thompson, Judge V. "A. Smith
and VIM. X. Clute.
A collection was then taken and
Gen. F. S. Hutchinson being present,
he was requested to read the act OF
1899, which he did. There was quite a
lively discussion on the subject during
which it was urged that the matter
now started should be carried out.
Adjoining counties now operating
under the local option law are Eaton
and Allegan, while IDgham, Clinton
and several other counties are agitat-
ing the question.
The meeting adjourned subject 10
the call of the executive committee.
